Ratings and reviews

They offer low rates compared to a competitor. I found that Taptap Send offers not only better rates, but your money is sent instantly using a debit card. Remitly takes three to five days to send using a checking or savings account, but offers a lower FX rate compared to sending it through Taptap Send using a debit card. Also, too much verification process started recently with remitly even though I have sent over 100 transfers.

EXCEPTIONAL customer service! If you're new to this or if it's one of your first times, just reach out to them, they will help you. It does get complicated to send money from one country to another with exchange rates and very strict delivery rules. Sometimes you have to match up IDs, sometimes you have to match up phone numbers, sometimes it has to be both. It's very complicated for some situations and can get messy and frustrating quickly. The customer service at Remitly is SO helpful!!!

It was my first time using the app and supposedly it was going to be free for me which was -1.99 and the recipient was going to receive a better rate but, after I did the transaction, the transaction fee was 12 dollars and I ended up paying 10 dollars for the fee to transfer the money. Nowhere in the options said that the bank transfer was 12 dollars and the discount was not free or part of a partial discount!!! I found out once I saw the charge on my card. Save money by understanding the fees.
