### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-24, version 3.67.1*

Excellent service

### 1/5 — Transaction cancelled yet the money got debited in the ATM

*2026-04-05, version 3.63.0*

The worst service ever Seen. Customer care executive are useless and without any knowledge. I have tried to withdraw money from ATM in London but the transaction got cancelled yet my money got debited and it happened twice. The customer care is so irresponsible and not able to sort the problem. This seems to be like a scam. Just attracting the people with less forex charges and no proper service. It’s better to shutdown your business.

### 1/5 — Serious Security Issue Ignored, endless Waiting, No Real Solution.

*2026-04-03, version 3.63.0*

I’m extremely disappointed with the service. This issue has been going on for months, and despite multiple follow-ups, nothing has been resolved. I’m still receiving OTPs on my old number, which is no longer in my possession — this is a serious privacy and security concern.

What’s even more frustrating is the repetitive and generic responses. Every time, I’m told the issue has been “escalated” or that the team is “waiting for an update,” but there is no actual progress or clear timeline provided. It feels like no one is taking ownership of the problem.

I have already provided all the required details and evidence, yet I’m being asked to repeat steps or simply wait indefinitely. This lack of efficiency and accountability is unacceptable, especially when it involves something as critical as banking security.

Overall, a very poor experience. I would not recommend this service unless they significantly improve their customer support and issue resolution process.

### 1/5 — Customer Service

**Developer response:** Hey Arpit! We regret the inconvenience caused and understand your disappointment at not being able to receive a proper resolution for the past 2 months. We tried locating your details using the username provided, but were unable to find them at the moment. We request you to kindly share the ticket number for the email you raised so we can investigate and assist you at the earliest. We appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation. -AS
