Keeps timing out and error

I would give this 5 star but, it keeps timing out on me and keeps giving error. Had to redownload and keeps logging on and off

Very slow process

When you have discrepancies and you Called the customer,they will answer you that the transaction can process for 2 working days and you have to wait if weekend.Its frustrating

App has very low limit

App is unreliable. Limit per transaction is only 300usd and 500usd total per day. This is too low for overseas filipinos moving money for their families in the Ph. Called support to extend the limit and they cannot do anything about it unlike stable applications like western union and remitly. If you want hassle, the use this app

EXPIRING POINTS

The app works well overall, but 60 days expiration of reward points is disappointing. Reward point should benefit loyal users not pressure them to redeem points within such a short time frame. Extending the validity of reward point to one year would significantly improve the user experience. I would gladly reconsider and improve my rating if this issue is addressed.

Amount

Better to send higher amount not just 500 per day

no for me

i have many times need to resent my remittance i will be shocked its declined!!! anf transaction fee a bit costly

Confusing to Understand & you don’t know if transaction went through

I can’t say if my transaction was completed, successful or unsuccessful. My bank was still intact but it says my transaction is awaiting payment. Why? So I repeated sending because the money in my bank didn’t show any transactions made. It saus here tap a stat. Where’s the star? If I go to one of the topic box, it doesn’t allow me to go back to HOME. App needs a lot of improvement. It shows a lot of promo that you can’t use yet.

Could be better

Rewards could’ve been better. With the new update, you’ll get $60 When you successfully have 3 referrals. It was $100 before. Reward Points, expires as well. You have to send a lot to get points. If not it will just expires.

Always has highest rate

Keep it up

DENNIS

I have been sending money, for the last 9 years now, everything is smooth and my family received it in a few hours, it’s secure and i recommend this all the Filipino abroad.

Unbelievable

I tried sending money to my gcash for only 100cad and causes a delay just because I put other - payment - as the purpose of remittance. Then I chatted a support and was told that I need to put the exact purpose. So I told them what are the food that my mother ordered specifically from her friend. Why transactions in the philippines are always complicated. 🥴

Excellent Service

I have been using Kabayan Remit for more than 10 years and I can rate them more than 10 stars for their reliable and efficient service.

Late Transfer/Bad service

They’re taking money. I have been calling my bank in the philippines and according to them there is no transaction initiated from kabayan remit, the transaction ID/ref number is invalid. They’re not helping. Kabayan remit tends to worsten situation rather than helping us in our emergency need. I will not recommend this to my friends.

Hi Kabayan, we’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced, especially if this was urgent. Please know we do not take funds—some transactions may be pending review or still processing before they reflect in the receiving bank’s system. Kindly contact us at info@kabayanremit.com so we can investigate and assist you further.

Poor service

They will take your money right away but will take forever to be credited on the account. Ridiculous!

Response from developer

Hi Kabayan, we’re sorry to hear about your frustration. We understand how concerning it can feel when funds are debited quickly but take longer to reflect in the receiving account. Please know that crediting times can vary depending on bank processing and verification requirements. Kindly email us at info@kabayanremit.com so we can check this for you as soon as possible.

Never again kabayan remit

Don't use kabayan remit if you're sending a big amount of money! They need proof and everything when its not even their money!

Response from developer

Hi Kabayan, we understand your concern. For larger amounts, additional documents may be required as part of regulatory and compliance guidelines. These checks are in place to protect both senders and recipients and to ensure secure transfers. We know it can feel inconvenient, but these requirements are standard for financial services. If you’d like us to review your case, please email us at info@kabayanremit.com and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Using new apps

More complicated to use

Delayed transaction and poor customer servide

I always experience delayed transaction like 24hrs or more before the receiver got the money and their customer service responds poorly.

Response from developer

Hi Kabayan, we’re really sorry to hear about the repeated delays and your experience with customer service. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide. Some transfers may take longer due to bank processing or verification requirements, but we understand how frustrating that can be. Please email us at info@kabayanremit.com so we can review your case and assist you properly.
