“Please stop sending reminders in 5 minutes just after the transaction is made! It’s annoying, and unnecessary when the transaction was made less than 5 minutes. Salamat!”

“Delayed remittance”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Sorry to hear you've experienced issues with our service, Sean. Please be advised that we take great care in ensuring that every feedback from our customers is thoroughly investigated. We always aim to deliver our customers' money as safely and quickly as possible. However, the delivery time may be affected due to different factors. Upon checking, your transfer with us took longer than expected due to an unexpected system offline of the receiver bank. We just received a feedback that your transaction was rejected due to an unanticipated system offline of BPI Family bank and is for manual crediting of BPI Family after we sent a follow-up. We hope this gave you a picture of how we coordinate with different parties to process transactions. We don't have any intention to prolong the crediting time of your transaction. For this particular case, we heavily relied on your recipient's bank for feedback (e.g. transaction status, credited, undelivered) as well as when and what actions we will take next. We will appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued use of our service for your remittance needs.

“Always have a problem for remittance”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thanks for sharing that, Elord. Please, be advised that we take great care in ensuring that every feedback from our customers is thoroughly investigated. We always aim to deliver our customers' money as safely and quickly as possible. However, the delivery time may be affected due to different factors. We used Bancnet Instapay to process your transaction, which is a system operated by Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas. That system serves as a bridge for various Philippine banks so your money can be sent faster (it can take as quickly as a few minutes). Then the feedback, if the transaction is credited or undelivered, will be coming from the recipient bank, which in this case would be BDO. We initially received a report from BDO stating your transaction has been credited, so we updated your transaction's status on our end likewise. When you told us it was not yet credited, we made an initial inquiry to the bank and advised that the funds were for manual clearing by BDO. We hope this gave you a picture of how we coordinate with different parties to process transactions. For this particular case, we heavily relied on your recipient's bank for feedback. We will appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued use of our service for your remittance needs.

“Kabayan is only suitable for sending small remittances on an occasional basis. There is a monthly £500 limit not only for their remitters but also their beneficiaries. If your remittance is in danger of exceeding this very low limit you will receive an email detailing so much information that they require in order that they can process it. If you intend to remit a reasonable sum of money there are many companies with no limit and will process your remittance promptly and without the aggravation you get with Kabayan. Avoid at all costs.”

We initially received a report from BPI stating your transaction has been credited, so we updated your transaction's status on our end likewise. When you told us that it was not yet credited, we made an initial inquiry to the bank, but we were advised it was credited. We insisted that it was not. We provided your statement account and asked for further investigation. We also coordinate with BPI to trace the transaction; hence they need to contact the Instapay Reconciliation Team for further investigation. We hope this gave you a picture of how we coordinate with different parties to process transactions. For this particular case, we heavily relied on your recipient's bank for feedback as well as when and what actions we will take next. However, even the erroneous processing was not caused by us (stated not to point fingers but to establish accountability), we understand that you did not have a good experience. We did a follow-up earlier today, but there's no report from the bank yet. We'll get back to you as soon as we get feedback. We greatly appreciate your patience.

“Be careful with Kabayan Remit. They took my Interac Transfer for $250.75 and claimed I never sent the money. The money is gone from my account. My bank (CIBC) and Interac confirmed the money was sent to the correct account at RBC but Kabayan refuses to believe me. So they get a $250.75 windfall but lose a customer for life.😡”

Sorry to hear you've experienced issues with our service, John. Due to Rogers telecommunication outage that affects the Interac e-transfer payments, all Interac was not sent to us that day. But all issue was sorted now. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured, it wasn't our intention to hold the payment. We will always aim to keep our customers' money safe and secure. We hope this helps, and we hope you continue using our services. If there's anything else we can help with, please feel free to send us an email at info@kabayanremit.com. Thank you.
