Confirmation message but no funds received

I received a confirmation message indicating that my bank would be topped up shortly, yet I spent the entire day without receiving any funds. Upon inquiring, I discovered that the system had been offline for two weeks. It raises the question of why transactions were still being processed if the system was not operational. This has caused significant inconvenience, especially since I have a bill due today and no alternative options. While I understand that systems can go offline, it is puzzling that transactions were allowed when it was known that funds would be held.

Accessing funds is unnecessarily complicated

It seems that accessing cash in wallets is made overly difficult for recipients, even when their identity can be clearly verified. I sent money to my daughter on her number, but she lost the line afterward, and the funds went into her wallet. Why deny access to cash when she can show her ID? It's important to adapt to modern standards and technology to prevent these issues. Despite being established for a long time, there are still many inconveniences.

Long wait for bank transactions

I had to give this just 1 star because while online shopping with the card is possible, your service is lacking. As a forex trader, my withdrawals often take 3 days to process. Your fees are excessively high compared to other local banks where transactions are completed in about an hour. I really believe improvements can be made!

Accessing funds is a real challenge

It’s frustrating how hard you make it for recipients to access funds in their wallets, even when their identity can be verified. I sent money to my daughter, only to find out she lost her phone afterward, and now the funds are stuck in her wallet. Why deny access when she can provide her ID? It seems like you need to update your practices to align with modern standards in order to prevent these issues. You've been in this business for a long time, yet there are still so many inconveniences.

Inefficient organization

This organization is incompetent! I was put on a watch list for a £60 transaction that took 3 days to resolve. My account is now closed, and I have no intention of using your services again!

Disheartening experience as a long-time client

It pains me to say this as a long-time client, but I was expecting $1000 from a sender, and it never appeared in my account. The sender has canceled the transaction, yet a refund has not been issued. This feels like a scam. I’ve reached out via your complaints email. With your operations in the UK, this situation should be reported to the ombudsman. Are you even FCA registered? This is unacceptable. Please refund the money.

Unsatisfactory service

The service has been terrible; I was paid on Saturday, but the funds are still not in my account. I need to pay rent and buy medication, and this is putting lives at risk. I am extremely frustrated right now.

Urgent funds still not delivered

We sent $1000 for a medical emergency, and the funds are still being held. I don’t understand why this is happening; it’s jeopardizing lives. If you offer a service, please fulfill it. This money is not yours.

Unexpected fees

I just completed my first transaction and was charged the 'monthly active card fee' three times. Here’s the breakdown: Card initiation fee R70, Monthly active card fee R17.29, Monthly active card fee R27.00, Monthly active card fee R27.00. Why is this happening?

Avoid this company

I registered with this company this morning and sent £50, expecting it to arrive in minutes. Six hours later, it’s still processing, and my friend is waiting. Disappointing service—I wish I had checked the reviews before using them.
