While My transaction was being delayed I had a discussion with the Supervisor, as noted in the original responseI had been promised $for the compensation of this delayThis can always be analyzed from the recorded conversation during the call While I also explained the reason for me to getting any such statement from the government agencies in India would cause extensive length of time anywhere from six months to one yearThe reason is because the delay caused a cascading effect and the statement needs to come from various sources before it can come to me, and in the end even if I get such a statement, it would be causing me additional fee's and taxes This all had been discussed, not just once, but three time during the conference call with the supervisor, and I was advised to write it on the email explaining this, and which I didLater one they changed the person Moreover, I would also like to emphasize you that the customer support from this company is horribly worst, I have seenI had sent in the beginning around emails, and they did not respond even onceEvery time I called them, they assured the call back, but they never did call me back There are several reasons behind the delay mainly caused by the inefficient customer support and service, and they are just making lame excusesIf needed I shall be able to provide all the call history from my telephone records, as well as all the emails which had been sent for follow up just for one single transaction, and no response received for several days in the beginning Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I believe that even with that being the case you should not be misleading in your advertising by sending out emails to customers who are ineligible for the ad you are sending themThen leading them all the way through a transaction without notifying the customer that they were buying a service with intentions of getting a reward from said advertising they recieved from you to only find out after the money was transferred and picked up that you were not giving the reward for said reasons spoken of by youSincerely, [redacted]
Greetings from Remitly
Thank you for bringing this customer’s concern to our attentionUpon review of the complaint, it appears this customer was disappointed to learn the transaction would incur a fee when attempting to send money to the Philippines in U.SdollarsTheir expressed desired
resolution is to 1) have the competitor fee comparison chart, located on our homepage, updated to accurately reflect our fees and 2) to provide customers with an easily located link of our rates and fees. We appreciate the opportunity to address this and to provide additional insight into the matter
As stated on our website, customers are able to send Peso based transactions using their bank accounts for free when using our serviceOur business model does apply a fee when submitting transactions via U.Sdollars. The amount of the fee varies based on the amount being sent and the speed of delivery selected at the time the transaction is created. The message indicates they did not expect to incur a fee for this service after reviewing the competitor fee comparison chart displayed on our homepage
The chart in question is presented in order to provide a comparison of Remitly’s most economical service’s fee with our competitor’s equivalent serviceWhile it is not feasible for the chart to include all of the possible fee scenarios, it does clearly state the fees shown are based on “Sending $in PHP via Cash Pickup.”
We make every effort to make our fees completely transparentIn order to provide a comprehensive list of all of our associated fees, out homepage includes an easily accessible link titled “Rates and Fees.” Additionally, the fees incurred for every transaction are calculated and clearly displayed on each relevant page when creating a transaction
Please click on the following link and select the “View Dollar-to-Dollar Fees” option to review the fees applicable to the desired remittancehttps://www.remitly.com/us/en/philippines/pricing
Based on our review of the customer’s message and the website details described above, we feel the customer’s requested resolution is already in effectPlease let us know if any further information or action is required on our part in order to resolve this matter
Greetings from Remitly.Thank you for bringing this matter to our attentionWe have reviewed Mr***'s account and associated transaction and have confirmed his transactions submitted on May and 2, were subject to a delay caused by an unforeseen technical issue with our partner
bankThis error caused a delay in processing and, ultimately, resulted in us missing the delivery date provided to the customer at the time their order was submitted.We are reviewing the transactions further with our partner bank to help limit the possibility of this occurring in the futureIn the meantime, we have confirmed the transactions in question were completed, albeit approximately hours later than originally estimated.Recently, we have also sent an email to the customer to apologize for the unexpected delay and offered a $account credit which can be used towards his next transactionIt is our hopes that he will accept this as a gesture of goodwill on our part and as a form of an apology

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:This really does not explain anything at allIt should be up to me and what I do with my moneyI am not an it and I am very much aware of what I am doingThey keep saying that I did something against there policyIf they are going to say that I admitted that I never met someone I sent money to and therefore did something against their policyI also told them I would not send any money to anybody except my girlfriend whom I positively have metI told them that they can stop me from sending money to all othersSo if they are going by my words for one they should go by my words for the other.It is not up to any financial institute on what I spend my money on.
Sincerely,
*** ***
