It's really fast and secure.
"TransferGo is the best and fastest way to send money to Nepal! I sent my salary home tonight using a manual bank transfer from Turkey. The app is incredibly easy to use, secure, and transparent. The funds dropped straight into the bank account within minutes, even after banking hours. I will definitely use it every month!"

Overall the company has transferred finance in record time. There have been a few hiccups in that the app hasn’t worked, giving a blue screen. I have found also that transfers have been halted over weekends. In the past the weekends have been open for transfers. No reason was given as to why.
