Ratings and reviews

Easy app to navigate, okay exchange rates, and transfers work — but only with credit cards in my experience. My $300 transfer cost $11.40 by card, while the advertised $1.99 bank transfer option never worked. Customer service blamed my bank (false, confirmed by bank), keeps repeating scripts, “escalating” cases, and promising callbacks that never happen. Feels misleading to advertise a cheaper option that doesn’t actually work.

There are no issues w/the app. It is very smooth & works well. If anyone is having issues are either lying or there phone is old or damaged OS. Reset your device. The one thing i dont like about the service is the exchange rate to colombia. It is no where near the market price or what is adverstised on monito. I feel the service is low balling the customers. I no longer use the service. I use western union or a money transfer agency. The exchange rate is much higher with them and lower fees.

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.
