I’ve been using their service for over 6 years, back when not many people even knew about them. They are reliable and trustworthy. I’ve never had a moment where I felt like I shouldn’t trust them with my money. Customer service is fast and reliable too. Of course, there are a few bad apples sometimes, but KLAUDIA is an angel. She responds almost immediately, always respectfully, understands customers’ complaints, and genuinely tries her best to solve problems. They’re really lucky to have her there. PS: Dear TRANSFERGO, I’ve probably gone through at least 100 verifications over the years.Please stop reviewing almost every single transfer.And as a loyal customer,I still don’t have my card yet(Not a complaint,but it doesn’t feel very fair)
