★☆☆☆☆ OC · 19 Sep 2026 · v6.78The app works great for sending money from the US to Kenya. Exchange rate is cool. And there is no fee. What ruined overall impression is very annoying continuous notification to share the app with friends. And even when you turn off this notification in settings it chases you indefinitely on the app screen. Very annoying.Developer reply · 20 Sep 2026Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback on sending to Kenya! We're glad you like the rates, but so sorry those referral prompts are being persistent.

★★☆☆☆ Alan Teitleman · 18 Sep 2026 · v6.79Remitly serves a valuable purpose - but with a price. To Mexico, they charge $1.99 in fees on top of a sliding scale reduced exchange rate, so for small dollar remittances ($100 for example), you could easily be paying 10% in fees with lost purchasing power. I do not like how they misrepresent the exchange rate. Front page says the exchange rate is 17.10 to 1, but that's only for sending $10,000+ USD! if you send less than that you get 16.92 or 16.51. Official rate is 17.2, so you do the math.Developer reply · 19 Sep 2026Hi Alan, thanks for your feedback on our fees and exchange rates. Rates change with the market, and our tiers offer options based on delivery and transfer size. Learn more at https://www.remitly.com/us/en/help/article/exchange-rates.

★☆☆☆☆ Heber Benavides · 17 Sep 2026 · v6.79looks like not safe, I made a bank transfer with an error on the account number and couldn't get the money back, at some point someone didn't check the name and number to match, I lost my money with them for a safety check not done. I have contacted the costumer service 4 times, the last time they said there is nothing else they can do.Developer reply · 17 Sep 2026Hi Heber, we understand how alarming this must feel, and we want to help you get this sorted right away If the account number doesn't match the recipient's legal name, banks usually reject the deposit and return the funds. Please contact our support team at www.remitly.com/support so we can help trace your funds and review your transaction.

★★★★★ Karen Greca · 16 Sep 2026 · v6.78Remitly is the best, the app is very well thought and designed. very easy to use/user friendly 100%. I LOVE their customer service, is just insane not only because isn't just AI, there are agents (people) pretty available for you all the time and not sure if Remitly outsource them and they are well paid because they are the most polite, effective people a customer service platform can have.

★☆☆☆☆ Rose Ndungu · 15 Sep 2026 · v6.78Terrible customer service! I’d been using them for over a year when I suddenly woke up to a locked account after endless random verifications. They gave me no explanation, so I don't even know if something sketchy happened. I tried reaching out, but they just emailed me saying the decision was final. I didn't do anything wrong. Good thing there are a million other apps to use since these guys are so unreliable.Developer reply · 16 Sep 2026We're so sorry for your experience and disappointment as a loyal customer. Accounts are locked for safety when verification requirements aren't met (details: https://help.remitly.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000216431).

★☆☆☆☆ DarK VadeR · 14 Sep 2026 · v6.78⭐ 1/5 — Terrible experience. I tried sending money to my friend in India, and Remitly put my transaction on hold. They called me for verification, I answered all their questions, and they told me to wait 24 hours. The next morning, my payment was paused again and eventually canceled. Why make me go through all that verification just to cancel it anyway? Very frustrating customer service and a complete waste of time. TapTap Send has been much easier and better for me. I would not recommend RemiDeveloper reply · 14 Sep 2026Hi, we're sorry to hear Taptap Send has been working better for your transfers. We know how crucial it is for your money to get home reliably, and we'd love to understand what went wrong with your experience. If you're open to sharing more details, please reach out to us at www.remitly.com/support so we can look into this for you.

★☆☆☆☆ David Holgate · 14 Sep 2026 · v6.78Said it would take about an hour to verify payment and double-check security, but waited hours and then waited overnight until the day after and still not processed... Cancelled it and tried again but after doing the same thing for over an hour, I canceled the payment and deleted the app!... Totally waste of time for me.Developer reply · 14 Sep 2026Hi David, we understand how deeply frustrating it is to deal with unexpected security holds and overnight verification delays when trying to send money promptly. These reviews help protect your funds, but we know the wait is disappointing. Please contact our team at https://www.remitly.com/in/en/help so we can review your case.

★☆☆☆☆ Will · 13 Sep 2026 · v6.66I’ve used Remitly since 2022 and never had issues. I completed every verification they requested and sent money through them regularly. After four years, they suddenly permanently deactivated my account with no meaningful explanation or chance to resolve the issue. Even worse, I’m completely locked out and can’t access my past transactions, receipts, or transfer history. Very disappointing. Time to look for another way to send money i guess.Developer reply · 13 Sep 2026Hi Will, we hear your disappointment. We understand your frustration and value your loyalty. For details on account security and access, see https://help.remitly.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000305886-Why-is-my-account-locked-or-deactivated.

★★★★★ Sucha Singh · 11 Sep 2026 · v6.78One of the best app to tranfer money. No need to collect thousands of uncessary information. Best rate among all other platforms. But, there is a restriction on e-tranfer by bank that you cannot send more than 1500, not by the app. I hope the team will find any solution for that, because the addition of bank is not working as it is restricted by banks due to 3rd party.

★☆☆☆☆ Jaris Moon · 10 Sep 2026 · v6.77I used to rely on Remitly for competitive exchange rates, but their recent pricing practices are unacceptable. The app advertises an exchange rate yielding 374.61 on the main screen, but as soon as you enter the actual transfer amount, the final payout drops to 371.96. Remitly keeps sending promotional reminders boasting about great rates, but the rate displayed upfront directly contradicts what you receive at checkout. This practice feels misleading, and I intend to report this behaviour.Developer reply · 11 Sep 2026Hi Jaris! Promotional rates may only apply up to a certain transfer amount, with standard rates applying to the rest.
