## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Random account closure

*2026-09-09, version 6.78*

Good when it works. Less good when your account is suspended and then closed when you try to update an expired debit card.

### 1/5 — One of the worst app

*2026-09-08, version 6.78*

I was trying to send 4000 asap. They just put on hold. And than cancellation took 10 days. Why it’s happened.  I will never use this app👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Misleading transfer time and confusing account verification steps

*2026-09-08, version 6.78*

My experience with Remitly was frustrating. The app initially said a bank transfer would take about 5 minutes, but after linking my bank account through Plaid, the estimate changed to 5 minutes to 3 days. Then, after I’m done with the transfer, I was asked to provide my ID and later a bank statement by a representative. I canceled the transaction. Remitly should be more upfront about processing times and verification requirements before users start a transfer.

### 1/5 — Như qq

Mẹ nó gửi có mấy đồng bạc ,phí thì mắc mà tụi nó gọi xác minh m làm nghề j , tiền này ở đâu ra , m mua đồ j, cả tiếng đồng hồ . Khi biết t thất nghiệp r nó đéo cho chuyển nữa ,khoá mẹ tk của t luôn

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-09-08, version 6.78*

This service is scamming customers for instant money delivery but they always trying to find an excuses to delay delivery. I have all the proofs. First they say additional review up to couple of hours. Then they promise up to 24 hrs and finally ending up asking you to wait 48 hours. This is insane. You people better go use Paysend instead of this scam Remitly

### 1/5 — Fake promises

*2026-09-08, version 6.78*

Transfers are not instant. Don’t make the promise in your marketing if you can’t keep. Their customer service only do tricks to keep the money when you reach out. Very bad customer service

### 1/5 — Money is not delivering on time

*2026-09-08, version 6.78*

It’s taking 2 days to deliver the money when it showed me 1 hour will be the delivery time.

### 1/5 — !!!!!!!!!!!! Too slow

*2026-09-07, version 6.78*

Their process is incredibly slow when you have a problem! They say it takes 48 hours, but it’s been two weeks and there’s still no update! It’s agonizingly slow! It’s a complete waste of time! The patient could die before you even get your money.

### 1/5 — very bad rate

*2026-09-07, version 6.78*

very bad service and exchange rate is very low.

### 1/5 — Very poor services
