My parents are elderly and not tech-savvy. The money arriving in their account without any action needed on their end is perfect.

0 Scam - money is taken and held without sending to Indian account. Transfer was initiated on 18th May 2026. A fee of $1.99 was also charged. The Abound app showed quick transfer within 4 business days (by May 24th). Abound send a request for an instant payment and I approved it via Bank of America and the funds were received by Abound same day. Just after May 24th, the status changed as "Processing" and then it said "Transfer is delayed but the funds are safe and secure and the delay was notified and prioritized". I did not see any progress after few days so I first reached the Support chat on the app. There was no response, so I had to reach out via email. I got an immediate response from Nishtha saying that it might take about 10-12 days and the money would be credited to my Indian account by June 4th. I felt the delay was unjustified and since I need ed money urgently, I did another follow up a couple days later. Now another person by name Ashok Mehta responded saying the funds should be deposited around June 8th. They keep right shifting the date. So I don't want to reach them again and they would now project a new date. I filed a complaint with BBB. I think this is a scam so please refrain from using this service. I will post an update if I get my money back.
