Just heard about a new money transfer service that works like Xoom.  Has anybody tried this yet? It's called Remitly.

 
I read about, this money transfer method, also.  You do need a credit card or a bank routing number.  My only concern with this method is that it leaves a paper trail.  I'm thinking maybe you could buy a pre-paid credit card to be more anonymous?  Not sure that would work with this method.  I don't know many that have tried this option, yet.

Well I decided to give it a go this morning.  @BellaDonna I share the same concerns as you but there is no fool proof way, other than cim, to not leave a paper trail.  If you use any of the other services to send you have to provide legit info in order to get a refund so I feel ok doing this.  If they want to know anything bad enough, they can figure it out.   I am just banking on the fact that there are bigger fish to fry.    I will post when all is said and done :)  

 
Well I had a minor hiccup with my transfer yesterday but was able to resolve the issue fairly quickly and pain free.  I had to change receivers as the one given had reached his limit and it was easy peasy.  I was able to do it through the chatbox on the website and it took about 7 minutes.  Its much better than being on the phone (stoned) and having some lady you can barely understand chirping in you ear.....Its also much better than chatting with a dismissive asshole that doesnt believe a word you say and shuts you down right off the bat!!!  I am going to use it until I am told not too.  I still am to fearful of doing cim with sy vendors. I did it with G and never had a problem but for some reason sy scares me. :(  

 
Thanks @Toboso I was going to start a thread for this and of course our awesome members are ahead of me and already discussing it. I'm very interested in trying it.

 
@2earls    I was surprised at how easy it was to use.  I also got a 40$ gift card to amazon!!!  Switching receivers was a lot less nerve racking using the chatbox, than doing it over the phone. I wish more vendors would offer it.   The initial process took about 5 minutes to complete, including registration. 

 
Well Remitly is officially over for me.   I tried sending again today and they wanted a photocopy of my receivers Id.   I told the guy on the phone that wasnt going to happen and to go ahead and cancel the transaction.  I also told him that I would be cancelling my account and using other methods.  He did not seem to care....Oh well I thought it was going to be a nice alternative but alas, it is not meant to be. Assholes.   I have yet to try Mg again after my last fiasco so I guess I will be using Wu from here on out......

 
@2earls   Yeah it totally sucks.  I am considering calling and seeing if I can get them to waive the whole Id thing.  I am not sure of my strategy yet but after my last couple of fiascoes with Wu and Mg, I have gained a little bit of confidence on the phone.    I am not sure it it will do any good but it may be worth a shot.   I am still contemplating though.

I had WU do that to me, so I cancelled the order, and switched to MG.  I guess they all must do that sometimes as some sort of QC check.   It sucks,  and is stupid.   Why would you have a copy of someone else's I'D?  I figure their loss..

 
I tried this recently and it flopped.  They canceled my trans after a two hour wait.  The source sent me another receiver but I just took my cash with me to MG the next day instead.  Haven't tried it again and not sure if I will

 
sorry to revive such an old thread but couldn't find this mentioned anywhere else on here.  

has anyone tried using this recently?  

 
Sure have, Let's just say that they had to call me 2x in a month and wanted more detail because they have notice "pattern"s that concerned them. ( 4 - 3 digit donations ) in 2 months. I let it be and closed up shop with them. Others do just fine I am sure.

There are absolutely nothing worse than wu and mg... basically all financial entities working out of the US are years behind in technology and you have to pay through your nose. Its worthwhile to take a day off and lo9´ok around. I´d use cryptocurrencies everyday before them. Create a wallet and use it once and be off.

 
Is there a verification process with Remitly (like xoom and sharemoney) where they call you and ask you what the money is for, who the receiver is, etc.? That's what made me stay away from those services. Is Remitly person-free until you get red-flagged for spending too much, or to a flagged receiver?

First time you use it they call and just ask questions about who you are. After that you’re good for about 5 times. Then they want documents.

I think it depends on where you are sending payment.  I tried using Remitly twice and both times I got flagged and denied making my payment.

  10. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  11. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  12. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.

  15. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  16. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.

  18. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  19. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  20. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
