I have been sending payments for months to a particular business but all of a sudden my monthly payment is being held up. I and the recipient was given a link confirming the funds would be there by 1:40 Friday, after 5 days nothing arrived. My funds are still being invested so they say. I sent a test payment to the same business just to see if it would get through and it did so this doesn't make since. Still waiting for them to release or refund my money. Don't trust the app.

Can cover a multitude of options, but doesn't have a user friendly experience, option or settings are some here some there, and not easy at all to understand and to add cards or Bank accounts or verify account ID. All these should be clear and all gathered in one place with Headlines, topics and % of how complete is the profile and steps to make it to 100% completion of profile and account.

Update Oct 2024: Used to be great when it was called Transferwise. A LOT has changed since then. They charge a lot more (almost a 200% fee increase on transfers). Transfers that used to take mere seconds now take an opaque amount of time AND twice they have just bounced back to me as undelivered one week later. Not good at all for emergencies. Plus, their customer service is completely unhelpful and rude. I've switched to one of their competitors after too many shenanigans. No longer recommend!
