I initiated the transfer 2 days ago and i specified the time to call (according to them IST) for KYC. They have called me at odd times when I'm not around. They never called me at the time i specified. I have emailed them around 10 times. I checked their website to chat. but chat doesn't work. The url is broken. Their toll free number does not work. It never rings and i have never got a proper response for my emails. I need to send money urgently. I was an ICICI customer and wanted to give this a shot, but i have shot myself in the foot by doing this. The transaction is still pending and I haven't heard anything. I'm this close to filling a lawsuit against them as I have reviewed all their terms and conditions and they haven't complied to anything till date.

I transfered $ AUD 2500 on 5/01/2011 about 10.00 pm, at that time the rate to transfer to INDIA was 44.50 Rs= $ 1 AUD. The rate than had gone down to 44.37 RS and than again increased to 44.42. I received money in india with the rate of 44.25 RS on 7/1/2011 in late evening. I don't understand why they gave me 44.25 rate as it never gone down below than 44.37 Rs. I tried to discuss with their representative but he didn't give me satisfied answer. I asked him to transfer the call to his manager but he said I can't transfer. I asked give the name of your manager but he said I can't give you name of my manager. I believe they are not reliable and not professional.

Dont use Remit2India for money transfer. I have transferred more than 10 times. The money gets transferred everytime, so I have no complaints on that. I am complaing at their method of surreptitiously cheating customers.

1. they are not a free service. they charge money for every transfer ex Rs75, Rs 100 etc depending on the dollar amount. They do not mention this clearly while you are doing the transfer. if they were not cheaters they should mention it before "confirming" the transfer. for example amazon or others will clearlu mention, your price is $XXX, Tax is $YYY, Shipping is $ZZZ. If remit2india clearly mentioned this during the transfer process, I will take this allegation back.

2. resist your temptation at their nice exchange rates ebcause it is not what you will actually get. i have transferred more than 10 times. everytime before transferrring, i browse other website and compare remit2india with those, and find out that remit2india has the best exchange rate, and everytime i fall prey to that greed. what remit2india does is they will keep your money and transfer on the day when it is lower, or lowest in the week. just by exploiting me, i have calculated that they have cheated more than Rs 10, 000 if I consider all transactions.

3. customer service is horribly horrible. they are best when you want to talk about momey transfer or starting an account. if you have a trouble and you want help from them, they will frustrate you until you rip off your hair. i can speak hours on my tragic experiences, but this website should not be spoilt with my abuses.

4. I had once won a Sweepstake in their website, and never got it.

5. I and my friend had won a Rs250 gift voucher that they claimed could be redeemed in their website, but the website was not working and somehow both of us could never redeem the voucher.

6. TimesofMoney is the parent company and I infer that times group is a group of unethical business persons who will cheat consumers and go any length to make profits.

Very poor service.verification dept can not be reached at all. Most of the time money transfer failure ccurs. Mehanical Reply. customer service knows nothing. They are Big 00000. useless company. stay away.

Hi,
I have an account with remit2india for about a year. I have made 2 transactions since I opened the account, the latest a week back. two days after the transaction, My account was blocked. No response to an email I sent to customer service. On calling them, They say, I am supposed to provide a scanned copy of my social security no!! No -where on their website or email do they give in writing about this, and what use is my ss.no, to those in India?? They gave me no clear answers in the 30 mins talk I did, and just said it was required?
I said how can I trust them, when ever week I get random calls on my cell no, from the guys at remit to india promoting some offer, and when I asked them on one such call, why did they not email me about their offers, they said : emails cannot be trusted!! in fact he even went ahead to give me the password of my email account!!! I immediately got the settings changed! and THEY NOW WANT TO TRUST ME WITH OTHER SECURE INFORMATION. DO THEY THINK THEY WE ARE DUMB!!
