### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2026-05-02*

Polar is the best way for me to receive USD payments internationally and convert it to my local currency

**Developer response:** Thanks! That's exactly what we built Polar for - making it simple to receive USD and convert to your local currency without the hassle. Appreciate the love, and we're here if you ever need anything!

### 5/5 — Amazing app, highly recommend

*2026-04-28*

Polar gave me a US virtual account, which is perfect for receiving salary with no fees. Best part is the cross border transfer to my local bank account, it is super fast and great rates. Onboarding is super smooth and the app is easy to navigate. I’ve tried many money transfer apps and Polar works the best.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! We're really glad the US virtual account and cross-border transfers are working well for you. Reviews like this mean a lot to the team - especially hearing that we came out on top after you've tried other options. We're always working to keep things fast and simple, so don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything!

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2026-03-06*

Some fraud guy named grant running this app, no clear terms of service or privacy policy, will keep your info for 5 years even when you delete the account, they’re data farming and pretty sure selling your data to other companies and will play bad when you get funds, Don’t let them mess with your blood money

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

USE WISE INSTEAD, its the best

**Developer response:** We're sorry about your experience. Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are publicly available at https://info.polarfi.com/terms and https://info.polarfi.com/privacy. We don't sell user data - the 5-year data retention is a legal requirement. If you had issues with your funds, please reach out to our support team so we can help.

### 1/5 — Scam App

*2026-03-04*

This is a scam app and will scam you out of your funds, prolly 1 guy running it in some basement, no automations, the app is down most of the times and will rob you out of your funds, Never use this app ever, Use Wise instead, I made a mistake of using this app to cut off fees but it turned out to be a total SCAM
Avoid using this at any cost

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We never withhold anyone's funds. In rare cases, our banking partner may return transactions for fraud prevention. We'd love to help resolve this. Please reach out to our support team and we'll look into it right away.

I’ve been using Polar for a couple of weeks now and it’s been a game changer. Setting up was super easy, and I love that I can get my paycheck directly deposited here without any issues. The interest on my balance is a nice bonus, and sending money home has been faster and cheaper than the other services I used before. Everything feels smooth and reliable, exactly what I needed as someone working in the U.S. Highly recommend!
