Absolutely nothing, from the start they have provided a bad experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Absolutely horrible customer service, and they do fraudulent transactions with your credit card, which they refuse to provide explanations or refunds, I made a transaction on August 16, for $300, which I canceled the next day since I didn't need it anymore, I got a refund on the same day ( August 17) and thought it was all over, but boy was I wrong, they did a non authorized charge on my credit card for $300 on August 18, 2023, when I contacted them on this they did not want to provide much information and instead just said that the refund was done on "August 17" and they are unaware of other charges.
Well then, I did a chargeback via the bank since they do not want to admit they charged me $300 erronouesly, and today Oct 03 they sent me an email with the most stupidiest explanation on top of asking me to please cancel the dispute with the bank so that they can further analyze my case and then see if it they could refund the money they stole from me in the first place.
Note that the $300 charge occured when I had already deleted my payment method from their website, but it seems they save all your credit card information and can make transactions using your credit card regardless, so I suggest people to be extremely careful when using Remitly, I would advise not to use it at all.

Very secure and reliable. It offers money transfers in different currencies based on the target country. Less transfer charges in comparison to bank transfers and other apps. Very good reward when referring to someone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it asks for re-verification which might be a bug. Remitly should look into this issue and try to resolve it. Also, express transfer rates can be a bit higher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about Remitly are the ease of usage for the end users, the self intuitive UI, and the speed of transactions with which money reaches the destination account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside of using this tool is that it is not always the cheapest tool in the market. There are similar tools available with same transaction speed and user-friendliness but with much lesser transaction costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Remitly application is very user friendly which helps to navigate easily through the option of setting up our bank, information of the receiver and such. Above all better rate is offered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are usually two options to send money one is the expedited and the other which takes a week to two. The second option provides a better forex but takes a week or two. Would be amazing if they would update it to accommodate the transfer within a week Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Remitly primarily for fund transfer from Canada to India (or) from USA to India. The enrollment process is quite easy and the application is easy to set up. The transfer process itself takes about 5 business days overall on an end to end basis. The funds are withdrawn in 2 days and the transfer takes place in the next 3 days. Great experience so far. Most of the times, the transaction has a smooth flow all the way into the destination account.
The validation process of authentication of your emerging and destination accounts are quite commendable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The exchange rate of the portal is a bit on the lower end compared to its peers. Also, there is a difference in the exchange rate between express option and the economy option. There is an involvement of third party without any explanation which delays the transfer of funds occassionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is effortless to send money when needed. We need to wait at the latest 20 minutes to get the money. The application is very intuitive, and you can save several bank accounts. It is very secure, with no issues so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fee is the same even if you send small amounts of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
