Money transfer

I transferred money to my own bank in the US and it never arrived. I called worldremit multiple times but all they said was it has been paid and I should check with the US bank. I've checked and checked and nothing.

Customer service is terrible. They keep asking for the same documents. Very unprofessional. Terrible service.

Still don't know where my money is.

Refund - time taken to refund is too long

Transaction no. [protected]

You have received my Above funds to be remitted but rejected the remittance transaction after your internal review And informed me that you will take up to 7 working days to review and refund the money back to me. My source of funds and reasons for remittance are legitimate and lawful. Since you have already reviewed and rejected the transaction and received all the necessary documents On 9 July 2020 at around 2pm to process the refund back to me, you have no reasons to take up to 7 days to refund the funds back to me.

Please assist to complete the refund to me by today.

Meanwhile, I reserve all my rights to claim against you for my losses and costs due to you holding up the return of my funds.

Money not received

Transaction number: [protected]
I sent £100 using the WorldRemit App. The money was not received in the recipient's account and WorldRemit are unable to trace the money. I have been on the phone to them several times and even emailed recipients bank statement to show that money was not received, I am still waiting for this to be resolved, the money seems to have vanished and untraceable.

Unethical behavior

I was on Facebook back in September 2019 and I received a friend request from I believed a soldier in the U.S. Army. His name was Derek Stewart. We began to text each other but after awhile he asked me to get on WhatsApp, which I did. He told me his wife died of cancer and he had a son who was handicapped. He also told me he was stationed in Syria and couldn't get to his money. I felt sorry for him and his son so when he asked me to buy a gift card to send money I did. He told me that his son had a nanny so on 9/23/2019 I sent $174.99 to Ohaeri Kelechi Z for his son. He said he wanted to buy his son a guitar for his birthday. I also sent money to Ozurumba Obinna Emmanuel, Alachi Andrew, Sumaina Faith and Osita Moses Udeze. I believe it was all a scam, this man Derek Stewart pretended to care about me and told me he loved me. Everything a vulnerable woman would believe to be true. I feel so stupid that I allowed myself to fall for this. After I realized it was a scam I blocked them and shut down my Facebook Account. Please shut down this fake company known as World Remit. The second transaction was done on 10/07/2019 for $74.99 for a total of $249.98. I would like to request a refund.

Funds never transferred as promised correctly

I made a transfer from my own Australian Account to my own Singapore DBS Account. Its been a week and the funds have still not showed up in my Singapore Account. I have been continuously classing DBS and World Remit 3-4 times a day for updates. I only get a consistent communication saying World Remit has made the payment on 4th Feb and check with your receiving. My Receiving bank have checked all funds yet to be cleared for 3 days now and provided proof of my account statement that no funds were ever transferred by Worldremit.
I have been requesting for a reversal or correct transfer with hours and hours on the phone + email. Still no response.
At this point I have been requesting for a return of my funds back to my Australian account and I receive no response apart from saying we are investigating.
No timeline or updates... Still waiting for a refund or an urgent payment to my Singapore account.

Happy to share all documentation and receipts of evidence that Worldremit are doing something incorrect.
Its not fare to cheat on hard earned money.

money transfer to an individual bank account

I transferred 2999$ last Thursday to a individual Indian axis bank account and the money is not transferred yet. Customer care people are so rude. One said money will be sent today or refunded today but it's been a day and nothing happened. Today one says refund takes a week. No update on my money. Such annoying stressful painful experience. Need my money back. They never call back if there is a problem. They don't even re process a transaction after some update from customer end. We should call and ask them to try to do it.. worse experience ever. This is my second transfer but the first was also terrible. Pls do something..this stress is only creating blood pressure for me.

world remit

I had a charge for 107.40 on my debit card and I NEVER signed up for world remit. I called the number and the person at world remit could not give me any details. Just gave me a email address for fraud and hung up on me in the middle of me talking. obviously this place scams people, with all the complaints I see about them . This place needs to be looked at by the BBB.
