### 4/5 — Very good application to transfer money overseas

*2026-09-02*

I would recommend this application  if you are looking to transfer money  from Australia to India at a very good exchange rate with no transaction fee and within 24 hours. They have improved their services from the past and are very responsive with help support.

### 4/5 — Good with improvement needed

*2026-09-02*

Gives good rate. It has improved on transfer time as well now. But the app UI needs to improve and also there should be possibility to send money to NRE accounts. It is mostly not legal to send money for NRI to Resident savings account.

### 4/5 — Mr

The app improved a lot , now the transfer is being successful clear in less than 2 hours

### 4/5 — Happy Client

*2026-08-12*

I’ve been using Money First since around 2020, and overall, I’ve had a great experience with them. They have consistently offered some of the best exchange rates, and their customer service has always been reliable and helpful.

Last year, there was a period when transfers to India were taking quite a long time to be credited, which was a little disappointing. However, they have really turned things around! I’ve completed 3 transactions recently, and each time the money was credited in less than 10 hours. 👏

The UI is simple and user-friendly, and the overall transaction experience is smooth and hassle-free.

Really happy to see the improvement and consistency. Highly recommend Money First for transferring money to India! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

*2026-06-30*

I had worst experience with this app few months ago. It used to take weeks for the money to be transferred. So I stopped using their service though they offer better exchange rates. But recently I have got multiple calls from their customer service that their processing times have been improved. As they suggested, I have good experience with them last couple of times. Money has been transferred within a day. Hope this continues.

### 1/5 — Unreliable, Fraudulent

*2025-08-19, version 2.1.8*

Just for a $200 transaction i have been waiting from 11 days and its still pending. All i hear from them is wait till today despite constant follow ups. Such a bad impression these giys lefty. Hope i read the reviews before hsing this app

### 1/5 — Worst Experience – Unreliable and Unprofessional

*2025-08-05, version 2.1.8*

I regret using the Money First app. I transferred money 5 days ago, and it still hasn’t been received. Customer support is a joke — first, they promised me a callback, then said they’d send me an email, but nothing ever arrived.

Every follow-up is met with the same empty excuses and no actual resolution. It feels like they completely stop caring once they have your money. This is unacceptable and highly unprofessional.

I’ve lost all trust in this service. If you value your time and money, stay away from Money First — there are far more reliable options available. 
🫵Please do not download this app. Total failure from start to finish🫵

### 1/5 — Never trust this app

*2025-07-15, version 2.1.8*

They took one month to process my transactions of 2000 AUD and by then I was exhausted by following up with these people. Their customer service is even more worse.

### 1/5 — 30 days to clearly a transaction

*2025-07-11, version 2.1.8*

The worst customer care ever i have been chasing them daily still my transactions are pending for 30 days

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2025-07-03, version 2.1.8*

Scammers Scammers Scammers

### 1/5 — Worst Application Ever !!! Stay Away

*2025-06-25*

I had an absolutely terrible experience with the MoneyFirst application. I made a transaction nearly 12 days ago—over $8000—and it’s still stuck in pending status with no valid reason provided. I have an urgent emergency in India, and despite repeatedly following up, all I’ve received are fake promises and false hope, especially from *Monica* and the so-called manager *Rishi*.

The entire support team is unhelpful, dishonest, and shows zero accountability. Every staff member I’ve spoken to has lied or given contradictory answers. This app has caused me immense stress and financial difficulty. DO NOT trust them with your money. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from this app. Unreliable, unprofessional, and absolutely disgraceful service.

### 1/5 — Froud application

*2025-06-20, version 2.1.8*

I send money. it took more than 5 days. now they are not receiving call, did not answer in email and WhatsApp and this ticket as well. It is froud application. I recommend to do not use this application

### 1/5 — Zero rating scammers

*2025-06-05, version 2.1.8*

Worst app don’t download it. Scammers I have sent my money on 21 may,  but it’s 6 June still they didn’t receive money. They still saying they need more time. Even if it is medical emergency also, they still scam the people, don’t trust this app at all.

### 1/5 — Doggie App

*2025-05-30, version 2.1.8*
