They ask for a proof of where your fund has come from, you gave them a document which you think is sufficient. They doubt it and they need to see your full details of your bank statement. I strongly disagree because why should I disclose my bank details to a company or person online which I never met? Bank account is very personal and they should be reasonable.

I can't understand that I need to send photo of my bank card to approved my transfer! Taking bank details now a day is dangerous and not safe...the whole world is taking bank transfer without sending photo of your bank card...Sorry if I can avoid to send money again I will do avoid sending it to Kabayan Remitance.

The money was not available until 2 days later! Why do you say it’s ready in 1 hour? I prefer if you are transparent with the actual time when the money is going to arrive, as long as we know what to expect

As much as I like to use your remittance system, why is it that you receive First the money before asking for a PDF proof of accounts? It's just stupid when your claimant went to collect the money as you reply from sending says "you can claim the money in your collection point", only to be told that as the sender, I need to submit such proof. It has to be the other way around, show us the proof before you can send, isn't it? Now, at this time we still cannot claim the money even if I sent my PDF proof 3 days ago. Please be considerate.

I use this just recently before the holiday season and took about 4 days to reach Philippines. I called customer service and asked if I can cancel it instead since the exchange rate has changed and even higher than the once I just sent. However, did not accepted it. I just rate it poor to recommend on flexibility in handling customers.

I still can recommend to use its services to others but reliability is a major issue here especially in online/phone app transaction which has its own limit different from what the operator says over the phone I hope it can be fixed as this will cost them its business gain.it happened to me many times that I have to use other channel/remittance Center to send money back home.

You asked me to send you a photo of my bank card,might be ok for you but definitely a big no no with me,you had me ringing up every where because you took my money but would not release it till you got the picture,so its cost me more money in phone calls plus I had to send an emergency allowance to my kids of 100 pounds through a different transfer site,so no I was not happy with your methods

Remittance took more than half a day to go through. I phoned customer service who sounded like he was blaming me for not including the bank name, when it was already my 4th time using the service, sending remittance to the same account. It happened the first time, but it was sorted, so the 2nd and 3rd remittances went through without any issues so I wasn't expecting any issues on the 4th one. Another issue is that my recepient doesn't receive any notifications at all, and I phoned customer service and told me it is because of security reasons. I don't believe that because I have used world remit for more than 6 years before I changed to kabayan remit, and they have been sending my recepients emails and sms. Now I am thinking of going back to world remit, as their service is tip-top, safe and very efficient customer service.
