What do you dislike about Ontop?
I currently receive payments through OnTop, and several colleagues in my company also use the platform. I wanted to share a piece of feedback that has been discussed internally among many of us and that I have also seen mentioned online.
Many of us live in different countries and often request transfers outside of your business hours. In these cases, the transfer status shows as “sent”, but the funds take a long time to reach the destination, even when the transfer is in the same currency. I understand the longer timeframe indicated in the app, however there is a clear inconsistency: when a transfer is requested during your business hours, it frequently arrives the same day.
In fact, it is common for a transfer requested during business hours to arrive before another one that was requested earlier but outside business hours. This gives the impression that transfers initiated outside business hours are not being properly processed or queued, and sometimes they only move forward after we contact support to ask for the transfer to be completed.
Because of this behavior, many users end up reporting the issue to the companies that hire us rather than directly to OnTop. As a result, companies may interpret the delays as a payroll reliability problem and decide to move to other providers. In my company, for example, most people have already switched to another platform, and I was one of the few who continued using OnTop.
I believe this is something that could likely be improved through better automation or handling of off-hours transfer requests. Addressing this would significantly improve user confidence and help retain and attract clients.
I am sharing this feedback constructively because the platform is useful overall, but this specific issue has a real impact on user trust and on companies’ decisions to continue using the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
