To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Information provided by various external sources

Founded in 1996, Placid Express was formed on the simple premise that sending money home should be easy, affordable and safe. Like our customers, we send money to friends and family too and the experience should be as seamless as possible. Ridiculous fees and absurdly low exchange rates should not be a part of that experience. Since inception, we have transferred billions of dollars for our customers in the United States and Europe. With a mass movement to 'electronic everything', we make it easier for our customers to send money today by making our services available online.

Dear khadiza,
We greatly appreciate your review and thank you for sharing your feedback.Your transfer was immediately released after it was made and credited to the receiver account on next business day but it may take time due to non business days in the receiving country. We are happy to have spoken with you over the phone about the matter, and we hope that we were able to satisfy you in the process.
