  I transferred $300 to ***** to be used to resolve an urgent issue. After 3 days the money was not received and when I reached out to WorldRemit, they told me they are working on it. The money was still not received after, so I canceled the transaction. I know after the cancellation, my money will be refunded but it wasn't. It's been more than a month now and the money is still not refunded. I have reached out to world remit on many occasions but the same story, they are working on it.I have to loan money to be used to resolve the issue. I will be glad if you can help me get my refund.Thank you

  This letter is in response to ******************************* Better Business Bureau complaint filed on July 22, 2024.
  
  We investigated the nature of this complaint and identified that it is related to the mobile money transfer ********* to *****, created on June 8th, which had a settlement processing time of minutes. We made every effort to complete the transaction as quickly as possible; however, we were advised that our local partner encountered intermittent technical issues, causing some transfers to be held up for an extended period while others were paid within the settlement time.
  
  We escalated the matter to our local partner and received their confirmation that the transaction failed due to the said technical issues. We attempted to cancel this on our end, but an internal issue caused some cancellations to be rejected rather than completed. To rectify the situation, we processed a manual refund on July 23rd to the payment method used for this transaction. **************** can disregard any messages indicating "failed" or "urgent action required" status.
  
  We have also attached a proof of refund for your reference. Please note that the standard settlement time for refunds is three working days.
  
  We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this unforeseen technical issue caused. Our technical team is already working to resolve this problem to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
  
  While unforeseen technical issues can arise, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions (**************************************************************************), we value your business and strive to provide excellent service. As a token of our apology, please use the following voucher code on your next transaction with us.

They insisted that the already paid.- I have sent several emails. Trying to wait in the chat but I have to spend hours trying to find an answer. I work. If I got connected in the chat, this crashed every time.I made two unsuccessful transactions on Saturday June 29 and Monday July 1. Both to ******** for $****** each. On Saturday, I added my debit card number. The money was taken from from my bank account but I didn't receive any id transfer. After hours of trying to get into the chat, I told the person called Spehelel that I need my money back. That was the only money available to send to my Mom which needs that to buy food and medicine.Again I tried Monday night to send the money. I create the transfer, world remit took my money again and never get a transfer ID. I got a refund July 2, but it was just one of the two unsuccessful transactions. I got an email in July 8 where they confirm the mistake they did. July 11 and July 12 2024 saying that the issue was resolved and the money was returned to my bank account which is not true. I have sent them my bank statement showing the two transactions and just one return.Today July 20, again in the chat they are telling me that there is a team currently working on my transaction when the 11 said that the issue was resolved.Another thing is that is really hard to follow the case. Everytime they sent an email there is a new case number July 8 Case ******** July 11 Case ******** July 12 Case ******* July 15 Case ******** Please help me and don't let this scam companies taking advantage of people.Thanks so much for your help.Carolina

  This letter is in response to the complaint filed on 7/20/2024  with the Better Business Bureau by ***********************************.This complaint was received by us on 7/21/2024.
  
  Below are the details of the customer's issue and the resolution:
  
  Issue:

  
  The customer did not receive a refund after funds were taken out, even though there was no transaction associated with it.
  
  Resolution:

  
  We contacted our Refunds team to investigate the missing refund of $353.99. They confirmed that a fund of $353.99 was indeed received on 6/26/2024. This issue, where funds are taken without a corresponding transaction, is very rare for this payment method. It was determined that an internal technical problem caused this to happen, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
  
  The funds have been successfully refunded today and should be received by the customer within 3 working days. Proof of the refund is also attached.
  
  Please let us know if you need anything else.

  I sent money $2,077.99 using WorldRemit transfer # ********* on July 3, which I got an email later saying transaction was still processing, after 2 days I contacted customer service through the App asking why I didnt get an email with the *** number for the recipient to pickup the money, an Agent told me they are having technical issues and that they sent my case to relevant department to be looked at and I will get an email within 24 hours. 24hours passed no email, I contacted them asking whats going on another agent told me their local partner cannot trace the transaction into their system so they sent the case to the relevant department, in that moment I was worried so I ask the agent on July 5, 2024 to cancel the transaction. He then told ok he submitted a cancellation request and I will receive an email within ***** hours. July 9 came there was no email I checked inbox and junk nothing from them, I then went to the App I noticed the transaction was still saying processing which was strange because I request to it being canceled. I spoke with a new agent which told me they are having issues and now for the transfer to be canceled they need to send the information to their local partners to manually cancel and refund, she stated this would take 7 business day and my money would be back in my account. still no email so now Im scared and frustrated and out of money at this point, I contacted them again asking whats going on why still no emails no refund the agent told me the same exact thing like it was an automated response, so now Im really upset and I told them Im contacting a lawyer because this isnt right the situation and the response is coming off like scammers then the agent ask me for my number and told me a manager will contact me within 24hr, Today is July 19 still no emails and NO Refund from this company I have copys of all communication with Agent now they blocked me from the App. This as affected me I need my money back please.

  RE: Consumer Complaint 22012880  - ***********************
  
  
  This letter is in response to the follow-up complaint filed on July 19, 2024, with the Better Business Bureau by consumer ***********************. This complaint was received by us on July 19, 2024. 
  
  
  
  
  We have researched the nature of this complaint. The consumer alleged their initial complaint that WorldRemit failed to successfully complete their money transfer as originally requested, or alternatively, failed to issue a full refund upon the customer's request instead of completing the transfer successfully.
  
  
  
  After a thorough investigation, we confirmed that there was a technical issue with our payout partner in ****** in which our partner is unable to locate the transaction in their system. This was confirmed by our partner in their response to our email on July 19, 2024. 
  
  
  After we received confirmation from our partner, WorldRemit made an attempt to manually refund the transaction. Unfortunately, this attempt was unsuccessful because the consumer had already initiated a chargeback request with their bank on July 19, 2024. The chargeback process will now be managed by our dedicated team and the consumer's bank. The bank will be responsible for issuing a refund to the customer once the chargeback request has been processed and finalized.
  
  
  We recommend that the consumer contact their bank for updates on their chargeback, as the bank will provide further information and communicate the outcome.
  
  
  Should the consumer have further questions regarding this matter, they may contact our *************************** at ************************************************************ **************.

  i tried sending $70 to a friend on June 23rd 2024 using world remit and the transaction was delaying, since it was an emergency i had to cancel the transaction and find other means of sending the money, up until now i have still not received my refund, i have made multiple phone calls to world remit in an attempt to get a refund and its either i am placed on a forever hold or over an hour of wait time, when i am lucky to have a representative picking up all they tell me is they are having technical challenges and my money will be paid in three business days, its been over three weeks already and nothing so far, not even an email from them, this is not the first time i am experiencing such horrible service with world remit and at this point i am done using their service, i need my refund period!!

  This letter is in response to the complaint filed on July 18, 2024, with the Better Business Bureau by consumer ***********************. This complaint was received by us on July 18, 2024.
  
  
  The consumer alleged their initial complaint that WorldRemit failed to successfully complete their money transfer as originally requested, or alternatively, failed to issue a full refund upon the customer's request instead of completing the transfer successfully.
  
  Due to the technical issue that our pay-out partner had experienced, the customer contacted us and requested to cancel the transaction and get a full refund. Since WorldRemit cannot proceed with the cancellation without confirmation from our pay-out partner in *****, we notified and contacted our partner to cancel and reject the transaction from their system. 
  
  After the confirmation from our pay-out partner that the transaction failed in their system, WorldRemit initiated the refund on July 21, 2024, and the refunded money transfer can take up to three working days to be returned to a consumer's available account balance, these funds should be available in the consumer's account balance no later than July 24, 2024.

  We have researched the nature of the complaint. The customer has alleged that ********************** had not delivered or completed the transactions she initiated on June 30, 2024.
  
  We learned that the customer created two transactions on June 30, 2024, with the reference numbers ********* and *********. After receiving such information, we then proceeded to communicate with our local partner in the *********** to verify.
  
  On July 4, 2024, our local partner confirmed that transaction ********* is outstanding and available for cash pickup at any BDO and BDO network branches, BDO remit counters, accredited rural banks, and payout channels. They also called the beneficiary to offer assistance, who affirmed that he would go pick up the funds the next day, July 5, 2024, which he did, and the transaction was completed.
  
  On July 6, 2024, our other local partner confirmed that the beneficiary picked up the funds for transaction ********* on July 5, 2024. This signifies that the beneficiaries of the transactions in question had successfully collected the funds.

  I am rejecting this response because: the money was never paid into the bank account of the person I sent the money to. I am attaching her bank statement. She did not receive the money. It is not my business to trace the funds. WorldRemit claimed in their confirmation email that the money I sent through them had been deposited into the recipient's bank account when in reality the money was never paid into her bank account. I want my money refunded.

  I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against WorldRemit regarding a transaction that has not been completed as promised. On June 24th, 2024, I attempted to send $207 through WorldRemit to my GT Bank account in *******. Despite WorldRemit claiming that the transaction is complete, the naira equivalent of ******* has not been deposited into my account. My GT Bank account clearly shows that the naira equivalent was not deposited.The details of the transaction are as follows:Transaction Date: June 24th, 2024 Transaction Number: ********* Amount Sent: $207 Expected Amount in *****: ******* This delay is causing significant inconvenience, as the funds are urgently needed to assist a friend in dire need. I kindly request that WorldRemit either ensures the immediate deposit of the naira equivalent into my GT Bank account or provides a full refund of the $207.I would appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this matter.Thank you for your attention to this issue.

  RE: Consumer Complaint 21891920 - ***********************
  
  
  
  This letter is in response to the follow-up complaint filed on June 24, 2024, with the Better Business Bureau by consumer *****************. This complaint was received by us on June 24, 2024. 
  
  
  Upon reviewing the nature of this complaint, it was alleged by the consumer that WorldRemit marked the transaction as paid, yet the consumer did not receive the funds in their account.
  
  Following a thorough investigation, we have determined that the transaction in question, identified by number *********, amounted to $0.14 or 207 NGN. There were no transactions matching the amounts of $207 or 300,00 NGN in our records.
  
  We have initiated contact with our pay-out partner to verify the status of the transaction, and they have provided us with a reference number for tracking purposes: Session ID ******************************.
  
  We recommend that the consumer contact their bank and provide them with the Session ID to trace the funds and verify if the transaction was successfully delivered.
  
  
  
  
  
  Should the consumer have further questions regarding this matter, they may contact our *************************** at ************************************************************ **************.

  Submitted a transfer of $500 on May 11th. Canceled soon after awaiting for the funds to be returned. Contacted via "contact us" on site 6 times. Told same each time, they are awaiting reply from their ***** partner to refund to WR. My friend contacted his institution who told him they never received the funds and there was nothing to refute. Each contact said they were sending an "urgent" request to the institution. Spoke to someone the 7th time who said the same, and also said they funds had been returned to WR so they would send to their refund ***** to begin the process. Told it would take 3-5 business days. 6/11 was the 5th day. Phoned again, was told the same thing at which I demanded immediate resolve of the refund. Again, was told Kenya had not responded which the prior told me they had. Promised to send email to me and that it would again, take 3 to 5 business days. I repeated I did not trust them and they needed to make this right. I waited again and called again on 6/14, same story all over. He did send me an email where ***** had denied ever receiving funds (first email I have received from them) and promised the refund process would be started. Again, 3-5 business days. 6/21, 10th time to contact them, still no refund. Stated saw the "refund letter" in my documentation and again, said it would take 3 business days. Asked if today was counted as the first business day, he replied yes. Responded that if I did not receive refund by 6/25, would file a complaint with FDIC and others. It's been since 5/11 that WR has had my $500 and I need that returned. Contacted a total of 10 times, the last 4 times were on the phone.

  RE: Consumer Complaint 21883596 - ******* *******************

  This letter is in response to the follow-up complaint filed on June 21, 2024 with the Better Business Bureau by consumer ******* *******************. This complaint was received by us on June 22, 2024. 

  We have researched the nature of the complaint, and the customer alleged ********************** of not processing the refund and kept on providing false information for the funds to be received.

  Transaction ********* was initiated on May 11, 2024, and handled by our local partner on the same day. However, due to a sporadic technical problem, the transaction was delayed from completion. Consequently, the customer opted to cancel the transaction the following day. Despite ongoing technical difficulties, we have requested our partner to assist in returning the funds to us to process customer's request.
  
  The customer was informed of **********************'s refund timeline, but unfortunately, the refund was not processed successfully until June 23, 2024. We received confirmation from our partner that the funds have been successfully reversed back to us. Please see the attached file for the proof of refund, that the customer can share to their bank for tracing.

  Furthermore, if the customer needs assistance, they can contact us over the phone or have a chat session on the application, and our representatives will assist.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******
