3 Their Service and support is poor. I initiated transaction and they asked to verify my Debit card and charged temporary 0.5 cents. They called me for further verification and I replie back on the call. After few days I learned that they cancel my transaction without notifying me and there is no communication at all about transaction cancellation. Also, They have not credited back temporary charges they put on my debit card. I opened ticket for this issue and no response to that as well. This is scam company.

1 As others have stated they are collecting people’s financial and confidential personal information, possibly for fraudulent or identification theft. They are stating reasons for needing additional information that are not outlined in their terms and conditions. We provided too much personal information, based on their continued additional requests that they did not express upfront. We did so wanting the higher exchange rates that after receiving our personal data they did not provide. We will now need to call our bank fraud department and have our debit cards canceled.

1 The company is running some kind of a scam. I would give 0 stars. They call you after you verify details via plaid and request additional information. One day they will ask for employment information and they want to verify my employer. When I asked why this is needed, there is no explanation - no other money transfer company has ever asked my company information or my company email for verification. I asked repeatedly I can provide ID if needed, why is this being asked? There was no explanation and they kept saying nothing else is needed and this is all they will ask. Then next day they are calling and giving me my husband's name and asking who he is. again, I asked why they need to care about my personal information as it is not relevant to the transaction and they seem to think they are allowed to ask any personal information if there is another account. Then finally, they again kept calling requesting for my ID. Again, I had volunteered to provide it at the beginning but they still wanted other information instead.. Now they want my ID. Everything looks shady and mismanaged with this company. I will delete my account and my husband's as soon as my last transaction is complete. Never using this suspicious business!!

2 Placid is SCAM! They have deducted 9500 dollars from my account and not doing anything. I have created this account just to write a review to caution you guys. This is a scam. I have been calling them to get my money back but no luck.

1 Very bad Service. Very bad customer care. This is the second time they are cancelling my money transfer. First reason they said I transferred the money from outside US. Second time did it from US and final day of getting the money in my India account they simply cancelled it. Customer service is telling compliance team did it and he don't know anything about it and raise a ticket about this transaction. Why should we have to go for all these hassles. Go for other service providers than using it you will get the money at least on that promised day than simply cheating people like this showing very good transaction rates.

13 Its been over 2 weeks and still they havent transferred my money back to India. I am calling them every day several times and it is literally waste of time. Their call center is in Bangladesh and they cant speak properly nor understand what you are speaking. They will say that they will call you back in 1 hour but that will never happen. Its just waste of time dealing with these bunch of idiots. Even if the rate of transfer is lesser in some other companies, its better to choose those in place of this morons. Very poor service. Stay away.

4 I used a few services, so far this has been the worst experience. I have summited a transfer more than a week ago and it is still not completed and I can't get a straight answer from them about what is the hold up. It takes forever for them to pick up the phone. They promised to call you back and never will

6 First of all Indicative rate here is not the same as actual placid website. It is slowest among all and I had to call multiple times for releasing funds and still not been processed. and call center was not helpful at all.

7 Great service and one of the best for international money transfers. Offers great exchange rates, fast processing times and efficient verification. All my transfers went smoothly and got credited even before the due dates, used multiple times. Highly recommended!

1 Worst money transfer service. Collected all my personal details SSN, DL, Paystub and bank statement and still asking for more docs. Don't trust them by looking at their rate.

11 I have a bad customer experience with placid express. First of all they hold your transaction without any cause. Cash pick up supposed to remit within 2 days and further back verification it shouldn’t be take not more then 3 days but it took almost 6 days to remit the fund. I wish I didn’t choose this service for my urgent fund. So got my experience, will never use this service anymore.

7 Worst service. They created a mess just for transferring $1K . Took all my details and even after showing all required docs, they did not do the money transfer. I think that's how they are collecting ppls info. I am happy they I got to know about them before transferring big amount.

7 As everyone said, the website is not great. And causes multiple problems. In India new state Telangana was formed 5 years back, but it is still not in the states list. Some IFSC codes are not available and we have to call the customer service to add them. And the UX is not great, I accidentally added an extra 0 in the recipient bank account and there is not way to correct and save it on the website or delete that recipient. Each time I transfer I have to remember that there is a mistake and correct it. Since I transferred after a long time, I forgot and the transaction failed. But one redeeming thing is that their support is really 24x7. Whenever I called them they picked up the phone and helped me. So make sure you don't make any mistakes while sending but it would be a lot better if the website UX improves.Thx for being responsive on phone but improve your website to make it easy for both the users and yourself.

2 Never ever try to use Placid in case of an emergency . The money will never reach the destination . Service is worst, Irrespective of providing all the documents, They keep on asking documents just to delay the service. compare remit Please remove placid rates from your list. Even if placid provide double the rate. Please don't use

5 Very slow Service. Mine took 10 days to transfer. Whats the point of taking better rate ?? Poor customer service. Not sure why it takes so long for them to remit the Money. Submiited my SSN, DL, Utility Bill, my paystub. Now an idiot calls me from Unknown numbers asking my work email for verification purposes. Crapy Service!!

9 The transfer rate is better compared to others. The only problem I found was the delivery time. I had started a transfer on 8th of June Monday and the delivery date was 12th of June. The delivery happened on 15th June.

3 Very slow service...very slow to respond to email queries. I had to finally cancel the transaction. The deadline to transfer the money was June 5 and they had not even taken the money out of my bank till June6 so they surely would have missed the timeline. The questions they ask for security clearance are more than what one needs to get into the FBI HQ. Most are non sensical and can easily be judged if someone really wanted to cheat. Lastly they tried to access my credit report without my permission. Got blocked because I keep it locked for such cases. Overall a terrible experience.

4 This is the shiitiest website that use can use to transfer money . They keep your money for more than 10 days. even if the website says that the funds are deposited , it is not. I have called the customer support a million times and it had been a disaster. They are not Reliable . Your money will be stuck somewhere for days and i am not even sure if you will get it back at this point. My money is with them for days now . They do not follow the due date .Poor management . DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE

5 This website is the WORST website for money transfer. They give a due date for the transfer but the transfer takes literally days before it reaches your destination bank. The customer service is shitty . they have a bunch of people from india who do not know how to communicate or solve the issue. the money is taken out of your account and is just with them for days before they actually release it. if you want to cancel the transaction, it takes more than 10 days to get your money back. this whole website is so flawed. DO NOT USE THIS .

4 My transaction was delayed and was not processed from the past 8 days. And I have not received any communication about my transaction being delayed, Bad experience. When called their customer support o 7th day, they said it will be processed on today(7th day) and I needed to call again on 8th day. Poor communication during the transfer of the money.

4 The worst remittance services of all the companies. I initiated a transfer on March 25th and uploaded the documents by March 30th. They sent account verification transaction and the account got verified as well by April 6th (They messed up at their end and sent the micro deposit not until April 4th). Four days later, after numerous emails and calls, they came back and asked for my pay stub, this is after they have already debited my account on April 5th. When I told them I am unemployed they kept repeating for my pay stub. Completely no knowledge of how funds transfer works and what are the "essential documentation" needed for KYC. Pay stub is definitely not one. I even sent them a copy of my bank statement that showed tens of thousands of dollars in the balance. Finally, I had to cancel the transfer. I will not see my money back in my US account for another 2 to 3 days. Not only they failed in their funds transfer but they also will be sitting on my money for a week. Classic example of fraud. I plan to report them to the NY state financial fraud department as well as to the BBB.

3 have been using placid for few years now. It’s been disgusting that they won’t do the transfer As per the promised date . They perfectly debit from source bank but never do the transfer on time even though they take 5 days for each transfer. The transactions doesn’t complete for whatever reason every time before follow up. Even after years they are not gaining trust. Please go ahead with Ria services, they are doing within an hour from the second time.

3 have been using placid for few years now. It’s really disappointing to know that they don’t respond to your queries when the transfer doesn’t complete for whatever reason. My transfer was supposed to be delivered in 60 minutes. It’s been 4 days and I have no idea what happened to my money. It’s in the disbursed stage forever. And like others have pointed out the folks answering customer service number is a joke. They don’t have a clue what they are talking about if you even understand what they are saying to begin with.

0 Hello, I cancelled my transaction on same day of request on 03 March’20 and before they deduct money, transaction was canceled and status shows cancelled. I received email stating that money will be credited on 12th Mar, I don’t understand why they are taking 9 days? More over I emailed to customer service till now they didn’t reply. This is unacceptable.

0 This is what Placid asks for AFTER taking money out of US a/c even though they already have Drivers License (which they asked during couple of transfers which I did 2018). I cancelled the transaction now these guys keep the money with them for I don't know how many days. If they need additional documents they should tell us prior before even the transaction begins. They cooly with draw funds and keep it with them and come up with lame stories. NEVER EVER SEND MONEY THROUGH PLACID

4 This is what Placid asks for AFTER taking money out of US a/c even though they already have Drivers License (which they asked during first transfer). Why do you guys even take the money out and keep it with you (and cancel transaction and refund after 15 days after many reminders) when your "so called" compliance dept is not complying with your service offering ? What is most ridiculous is 3) below (Selfie :) ) - really even after collecting DL (which already has a photo) :) :) And "pay Stub" !! You should inform customer upfront before initiating transaction (within your specified limits) - if your so called Compliance Dept. needs additional doc and should not take out/hold money until you are ready to provide the service ! -- 1) An image of your Drivers License/State ID or Passport. 2) A recent paystub that shows your employer name and YTD salary 3) A photo of your self (selfie) while holding your Identification Document

2 Cannot increase to Level 3 after too much hassle, frustration and waste of time.. 1. Followed the following process when I am on Level 2: - Stay in level 2 for at least 60 days - Completed 6 transfers between these 60 days - After wait period and completed 6 transactions, a. Asked to provide additional documentations - Done b. Received mail verification code and verification with Placid - Done At the end, still they keep me in Level 2. When I called, they are telling me that right now I don't need level 3 as I haven't used Level 2 sending limit - What the heck is this ? am I dumb or they ? Why should I transfer when I don't have to do ? At this point, they have to increase my level from 2 to 3 as I completed all the steps told previously to me, but all they are doing is again telling some ridiculous never ending rules. Even If I do the transaction as they are telling me now, I'm 1000% sure that they will come up with something else later. I seriously doubt how will the management grow / survive by keeping such dumb policies and people without proper training. Final verdict: Go for services like Remitly who are much professionals and help customer to transfer higher amounts without hassle. STAY AWAY WITH PLACID FOR HIGHER TRANSFERS. Email Conversation: 1.
