Great service and smooth
I jumped very quickly into a transaction without verifying many data and i was mistaken . Fortunately i spoke to the customer service person (Adam J ) and he assisted me very well until i got back my finance and ran again another correct transaction
A fantastic app for sending money. Excellent service
A fantastic app for sending money abroad. And if there are any issues the chat bot on this is pretty good. But if it can't be fixed then an agent is on hand within minutes. They also keep you updated on any process issues via email. And they really look after you.
