Make transfer money to another country so easy
First time got free fee for transfer, plus the money arrived sooner than expected
Proactive help and prompt response
I proceeded with transfer as usually, but the money got stuck in “processing” stage – I got automatic message where the problem was and how to work around. Then I contacted customer support, which was very friendly, kept an eye on my attempts and proactively checked whether I need help. In the end, everything went well and I’m really satisfied with the support and how swiftly it’s done. Thank you! 🙏
