When I encountered any issues their customer service was there to help and guide me. They send my money quickly and it's ready to pick up in few seconds.

Easy to use. You can view old and new transaction. Very secure, your login details and bank account (if youre doing bank transfer) never saved. Incase you lost your fone, they can't use your apps... See more

The money transfer process is…

The money transfer process is essentially very smooth and efficient. The only downside can be the occasional compliance checks. Not that they are always onerous, but you do have to watch out for them delaying your transaction. If it was not for the compliance issues Kabayan would have a 5 star rating.

VERY DISAPPOINTED

I have been a loyal customer for 25 years and I'm so disappointed with the service I received lately. They encourage us to use their app but they cannot be bothered to send you a receipt instead they want us to download it which I refuse to do so. Sending us notification should be our right as their valued customer. Unfortunately, if this happen again next time I send money they will for sure loose me as their customer and I will definitely encourage all my friends to take their custom somewhere else!

When it works its great but they are…

When it works its great but they are forever changing the way it works. My wife and I an others in our family have used this for years. We cannot use it anymore because they have made it so complicated. They asked us to register a phone number and we did and that does not even work... MY advice to you is go somewhere else... You never know these days if you are being hacked.. and when a company keeps changing how they operate it is a danger signal.. you cannot even contact them on the site if you cant log on.... has it been hacked?

Avoid Metro Bank collections

They should inform their customers that sending money for collection at Metro Bank will involve sitting in Metro Bank for hours whilst they contact head office for approval. Nice way to spend your holiday.

I’ve been using Kabayan Remit when they…

I’ve been using Kabayan Remit when they were still called Asenso Remit. And now, they were so unbelievably strict, even the receivers on my list were there since I started. And now they started asking for their details etc. I used to refer them to friends but now I will not. Will be looking for other options now.

We are sending money to the Philippines…

We are sending money to the Philippines every week. At first, Kabayan Remit was so fast and no hustle. This past couple of months my transaction always went to compliance, some issue with bank and whatnot. It a nuisance to always call and follow why the transfer was on hold every week.

Kabayan uses Metrobank ...bEWARE

Kabayan uses metrobank which is Ok most of the time but then suddenly they will withhol;d a transaction for verification but then just sit on it for many days and do nothing. The only way out it to demand a refund. When a remittance is urgent this is not helpful to say the least
