0 They state amount is transferred are completed within an hour or day but it took good 5-6 days for the amount to be credited in INR .DO Not transfer your amount if you need it urgent. They are not customer centric at all . transfer id: 8910854d8f244cdea39cb164c19d279b (initiated on 9/18 and I finally received the amount in INR on 9/26 )

0 I am writing this review based on my real experience i faced. Its really pathetic service they had offered , they gave best rate however once everything went they cancelled the transaction with out any reason. However this decision didnt inform the consumer, so i had waited alot my txion got completed. I called the customer care they told your txion got cancelled and they didnt know anything about the cancellation reason. I am still scared they asked my personal details and i provided to them. Worstttttttttttt service i faced .....Friends don't use this....

0 Placid is my first choice when it comes to money transfer. Whenever i come to compareremit to see the money transfer rates, i always found placid to give the max amount of rate. There's always a tough competition between Ria and Placid but often i found placid to be leading the race. I have been using placid for more than 6 months now and never found issues in my transfers. No delays in deposit. Just plain and simple.

0 Be careful about the time it takes them to credit money to you bank account in India. I have used almost all major remittance services (Remitly, Ria, TransFast etc) and almost all of them ensure that you'll have your money on the committed date if not earlier. With Placid, money never arrives on time. It usually takes 2 or 3 additional days on top of the committed date for the credit to happen.

1 They say 3 days but take 7 days for the money to be deposited on a regular week with no holidays. If its a holiday week, then they take more than 10 days. Absolutely illogical and stupid. Earlier in past they used to have low rates compared to others and the transfer was faster. Now they are trying to match rates with other transfer services but take more time. What a brainless business policy. I want to know who is the master mind behind this company policy(great stalwart)
0 Thank you for the notes. We continue to expedite transfers that qualify irrespective of exchange rate policies. The 'Date Available' on your transaction receipt may indicate a date based on 3-5 banking days but qualifying transactions may clear much faster. Please provide me with your tracking number and I can investigate.

Worst service ,they just show you good transfer rate but when they actually have to give that amount they back off . Don't wast your time here. I am the first time user of Placid. Recently I made a transfer just because they offered good exchange rate for the first time user, they verified the account and everything was fine so they processed the transfer and I got the confirmation stating the transfer will be completed in 5-6 days. all of a sudden one day after I get an email saying there was a problem verifying the account so the transaction was canceled. So when I went to make the transfer through other provider that's when I realized that the Dollar price had gone down. So then it started making all sense to me first they gave me exchange rate or INR 70.15 now since the dollar price had dropped to INR 69.70 in just 1 day, they cancelled the transaction. Not trust worthy at all very disappointed. waste of time. Could have used other service and my money would have already reached India.

Very worst service, rates are competitive but service degraded lots in last 1 year. Beware of this and don't use it. Recently I made transaction and money deducted from bank on same day but they keep asking for more documentation for more than a week and cancel transaction. I have provided them copy of Passport, Visa, i797a, bank statement, DL and sending money to my own account in India. Even though sender and receiver name are same and money got deducted from my bank account a week ago, could not understand what they are doing in the name of security, finally they asked for camera taken picture which must be of same time when Passport or DL picture has been taken. No one can be more frustrated then them. Suggestion for all - use anything except Placid

Worst customer service. Used to be good. However, ever since they outsourced their call center, it's has been worse. Would not trade with them again. Never respond to emails and call courtesy doesn't exist.

Very Worst Service.They have deducted the money from my account on Jun26th and recipient hasn't received the amount yet.I have been using this since 2 years and now they are asking for additional documents to make the delayed transaction.So that they can use your money and do the business.Please don't trust this.

6 Placid used to be very competitive (almost tied with Remitly) in exchange prices. But since January 2018, they are in a slump. They have the worst exchange rates compared to the competitors. What happened to you Placid team? It used to be the best remittance team but because of the low exchange rates, no one is preferring it. Hope it makes a comeback.

4 Earlier placid was so good in terms exchange rate and speed.. the speed sucks now a days. They take more than 5 days what they have promised. I would say if you need quick transfer, don’t prepar placid. Less customer response as well. Nobody is responding to my emails. Very disappointed service.

3 Untrustworthy Service! I have transferred thrice using Placid. If you are using their Regular transfer (5 working days), they take longer than the quoted date. Their customer support is quite bad as well. Will never use it again.

3 Placid gives reliable service but I feel it takes longer time compared to its rivals. I started using Pangea money transfer which is fastest service that I know of. Pangea is also giving $30 reward on your first transfer when you use the code UV1500

2 I always preferred to use placid earlier. Here is how placid did a unsatisfying service for me. After withdrawing money from my bank, placid started asking for few of documents to prove my Visa validity in USA. I was ready to give them all, after sending documents they started saying scan copies are not allowed bla bla. Why don't they block customer from doing a transfer without all these documents in the beginning. After keeping my money with them doing all this drama is not a good way to treat a customer.

10 Placid is the best option to send the money to India. I transferred the money more than 20 times and didn't face any problems and there is no minimum limit and no charges at all. Money will be credited in your account before expected date every time. Placid is really preferred as always they give the best rates compared to others.

0 Embarrassment and worst service in all. I sent urgent money to Bangladesh. While it was showing me the money is ready to pick up but when my recipient went to withdraw money in bank they said money is not available. Even in sending money it gives lot of pain. In short, it's not easy and convenient like other money service in market. Placid sucks !!

2 I tried to send money from USA to the Philippines going from bank deposit to bank account using Express Banking Verification. I forgot that they were accessing my account and got an unusual login notice and changed my password. Placid waited several days then canceled the transaction. This was probably my fault but now they won't let me send any transactions. Alternatively I've used Remitly Express Service with great results and almost instant service on three occasions. I think any time you use a service that isn't almost instant you are asking for major problems with the transfer. This is according to the results on the Better Business Bureau website for both companies.
