Hello paisa SUCKS

Worst service EVER! I have been receiving money trough remitly since last year April and the money would be paid into my fnb account within an hour via sikhona money. Now all of a sudden my money is being paid via hello paisa. The was no notification of a change to either me or the sender. I have never had to wait 48 hours for my money. I also downloaded the app from Apple Store and when I tried to register it said my anpplica was already in progress. I DO NOT REMEMBER REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT BEFORE. I am pretty sure this goes against the POPPI ACT. So I will be contacting the ombudsman shortly.

I am very disappointed in remitly and hello paisa. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. And if I could have made that 1 star anything less I would have.

Hi there,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has caused. We completely understand how important it is for your funds to be received quickly and reliably.

Please contact us urgently at *** or call *** so we can verify your details, escalate the matter, and ensure your funds are processed without further delay.

You say I should contact you URGENTLY yet you fail to give me usable contact details. Please note if this issue is not resolved within the next 7-14 working days I will be forced to contact the ombudsman and my lawyer as this is a breach of the POPPIA act as you have stated above. Provide me with contact details that will allow me to correspond with your team as I have tried yet have received no correspondence from you.
