western union has the worst customer service. I called to complain about the too long waiting period for my money to be delivered the person that picks up the call has zero manners. When I said, I am afraid their service is unreliable and the next thing he said is, it's my choice to use western Union. This statement gets me upset.

0 I am waiting for the money to get delivered for past 8 days! Worst part is the western union website says transfer complete!!! I checked my bank account and verified that no money was sent and got in touch with customer care. This is not acceptable!!!!

3 Western Union refused to let me send money to a friend in Lagos Nigeria who was dying from Malaria. They asked how I knew him and I let them know he and I did ministry together from our church. THEY REFUSED AND SAID IT WAS AN INTERNET SCAM! I TOLD HIM INTERNET SCAMS TAKE PLACE BY INTERNET. NOT SOMEBODY I DO MINISTRY WORK WITH. HE ACTUALLY LAUGHED AT ME AND SAID CHURCH IS A SCAM AND PERMANENTLY BLOCKED ME FROM USING WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM! I had to contact a scammer in Nigeria to find another way to send money and sending 250 cost me 700 because of that idiot! I tell everyone I know what apps to use to send money now so to avoid Western Union.

2 WU announced that they send money to Ukraine free of charge until April 30, 2022. I sent my first transfer to my family. It was free first time and then they started charging fee. What a greedy company! It is war going on there! People are donating millions and company making profit! Shame!

2 Horrible service lately. Take money out of your bank account and cancel the transaction. Then promise a refund in 5 days. It's been over a month now and no refund. Spent hours over the phone and no resolution. They want an English translated id for the receiver. The money was never sent!! How can I get a copy of some Joe ID when I never sent the money. DONT USE THEM IF YOU DINT WANT PROBLEMS.

2 DON’T DO IT. Closest thing to being robbed in broad daylight. The poor customer service and nightmare process to cancel a transaction after a half day on hold verifying my identity is not worth it. Go over to Moneygram!

1 Absolute scammers. They have been holding my college fee payment for weeks without even replying once to my enquiries. I lost count of the number of times I have emailed them. THEY WILL NOT RESPOND, STAY AWAY FROM WESTERN UNION.

2 I am not a happy customer, I used to be one because of their excellent and reliable service, well not anymore. It now takes 7 days for recipient to receive the fund, I called the customer service got someone from India, which I could hardly understand, he said that it's under investigation, why? They took the money from my bank, instead of next day delivery, will take 7 day? Wondering what they do with the 7 day of my money.

4 This is the worst company ever! I was trying to get money on my debit card sent to me in Mexico, and it said it could not be done numerous times, so I sent a check home to the states with my aunt to send money through western union. The inept person at the counter sent it to the wrong place, even though I had clearly written down where I needed it sent. It said it was ready to pick up, but they had no record at the bank. Then my aunt called to change the pickup town in Mexico, and they put in Baja Norte, Sur. After 3 30 mile round trips to town to get the money their website said was ready, I finally had to cancel the transaction, but they had my $1,000 for a week plus. My aunt tried again, only to have the transaction cancelled and was accused of money laundering. This was my money trying to get to me! After several more tries, all the attempts were cancelled and when I tried to find out why, I was transferred to 4 people, the last of which hung up on me! After paying for numerous calls from Mexico, I still have gotten no answers about why my money was mishandles or cancelled. Stay as far away from western union as you can. They are scammers!

1 Western Union dumps me as a customer and doesn't tell why!!! I have been happy with Western Union for quite some years, but now suddenly they have banned me as a customer. They completely refuse to tell me the reason for this, and only refer to their General Regulations (I went through them and found nothing that I would have done wrong). Dumping a years-long customer without telling why.... Western Union sucks big time.

7 I sent money to Cancun Mexico, copied exactly the ID of the person receiving it, they did not dispense the funds because the last name should go first , so, I canceled it and send it again putting the last name first, still no good enough , having the correct ID #, correct name, picture of the transaction. If zero was a rating I would use it.

2 Its been ten days that my recipient did not get the money. I called on jul 13, 14 and jul 15 morning. I was told the money will be deposited on Jul 15 at 3.52pm EST. It did not get deposit. I called again jul 15 twice. Now I was told that the money is hold and they need additional info to release the hold. My recipient will need to wait another 7 days to get the money. I did not get any email or agent did not tell when I called multiple times. Now the agent from the last call said that I am faking about the call. There is no notes that I called. I can grab my phone list and conversation history from the phone company to prove it. I do not have time to play around making fake calls. My recipient has been waiting for ten days now and still the money is not his hand. This so so frustrating. I am very much hurts with the blame that I did not call. I have been calling and tensed last three days to make transfer happen and now you guys portrayed me as a liar. Very disappointing and irresponsible service.

22 NEVER USE WESTERN UNION!!! They keep you on hold for hours, they constantly put your money on hold "for fraud review" and you have to give too much personal information just to send your love one some money. I will never use WU again!

24 It has been very positive, fast sending and the recipient receiving the money through WU online.(NO FEES Bank to Bank transactions) They have the highest Philippine pesos to Dollar rates, I think there’s no problem or questions asked as long as You and your recipients have a secure bank account and the info is accurate and already established in the systems.

21 I have had the absolute worst most terrible time dealing with this company I sent cash to my husband in Nevada from Florida and we had to go through a personal questionnaire when he went to go pick up the money mind you I had a cab outside waiting my husband did at the place where he went to go pick it up because he's visiting his brother so this cab is running Fair while these people are asking me how did I meet my husband how long did I know my husband all these personal questions which are irrelevant to the fact that I'm sending him money we're married okay and they really gave me a hard time and it was a very difficult thing to do and in times of an emergency it was not helpful useful at all this company is terrible

5 I had a terrible experience in Western Union. I sent a money last May 1,2020 to the Philippines but my recipient messaged me that the money I sent was “on hold” so I decided to called up the customer service to check what happen. Upon speaking with 3 different agents unfortunately they failed to answer my questions. But in fact they were trying to transfer my calls to other department and I’ve waited for so long for 20 minutes didn’t even address my concern and worst happen hang up. It’s really terrible Ive been patronizing this money transfer for many years but sadly I experienced lately terrible thing, very UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE customer agents. They would have informed me right away if western union doesn’t want my money or whatever. Because they are wasting the customers time. This is unacceptable service, a bad service!?? I will NEVER EVER do business in western union anymore. VERY POOR SERVICE!

15 Never ever use this company. I have a very bad experience of sending money to a bank account outside Canada. It took more than 15 days after repeated follow ups through emails and phone calls.

10 OMG,,DO NOT USE THIS "COMPANY" EVER, EVER, EVER !!! I sent $250 plus a $25 fee for immediate access to a friend that I had sent money to in the past, using this sick, disgusting "organization" [lol]. Her name was on the kiosk as someone I had sent money to before. Three hours later my friend was told the funds were not going to be given and that I, the sender, must call the 800 325 6000. When I called, talking to an operator in the Philippines, of course, she asked me several, very, very personal questions like my name, address, the receiver's name, the state and how do I know this person, when was the last time we spoke, saw each other, and the nature of our relationship, All of which I answered and after 15-20 minutes of this nonsense I was told, "we believe there is fraud occurring and are going to refund your money. I asked on what basis, a was given the same answer, even by a supervisor. ABSOLUTELY INSANE NONSENSE BASED ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH ANY BASIS IN REALITY.

24 Thief!!!!!!! Learn my lesson, don't deserve 1 star!!! long term customer!!!! I recently sent money through your website but unfortunately the receiver forgot to update me what his full first name belong to his actual ID, so i decided to correct the mistake and try to edit his name by calling the customer service via chat ( which first time i've done) Now the chat was provided to your website but unfortunately he was unsuccessful to help me with my request so i decided to call the customer service. i spoke to this representative and told her the issue but unable to help me so i asked to speak to supervisor she connected me but few sec ringing it got disconnected so i decided to call back. Now it's a different representative. I explained to him what happened on the first phone call and requested a supervisor again but i have to repeat myself explaining the issue AGAIN! which is frustrating and a waste of time but i shall try to be patient and explain everything to him. I express my satisfaction with the service due to one simple mistake I made which should be corrected easily but both representative unsuccessful to give me an answer. I understand that I made the transaction through the website and the application but your company has NO RIGHT to steal money from me. When I decided to cancel the recent transaction I noticed on the bottom message saying the transaction fee would not be able to refund WHICH ITS BUNCH OF BS AND STEALING. your company made millions of $ all over the world and i know i made simple mistakes but for you to steal $4.99 transaction fee is very unbelievable and your representative goal is to stand by it and steal from me. The transaction i cancelled would not be refunded 7days from now but knowing i will not get FULL AMOUNT of what used to send this money and the representative offer me a discount for future transaction but i only can use it if i send through AGENT LOCATION. We are still in PANDEMIC and I get off late from work and work my butt off during this PANDEMIC SEASON but he has audacity to tell me that.!!!!!!!! First of all I am a healthcare worker and I do not have time to go to an agent location to send money if your company made it clear that APPS AND WEBSITE to send money is more convenient . PS. I demand FULL AMOUNT REFUND

13 *************Avoid WU like it's the plague************** Like others, a transaction was put on hold after several successful transactions to the same person! Of course they don't bother to warn you, you have to figure it out yourself. Asks you to call a number once you click on the relevant link, which I did. I was shocked at how personal the questions were, not just about me but about the recipient, especially my relationship to her. I objected to this line of questioning and he went off on one about how he was trying to protect me from a relationship scam! I explained to him that I know this person well, for two years, have been together many times, etc. but he wasn't prepared to listen because he'd made up his mind already. I really had a go at him, told him these questions were inappropriate, far too personal and should not be of any concern to WU and he should not try to offer me relationship counselling; the only concern they should have is to deliver the funds on time. He then switched tack to saying he was protecting the reputation of WU Are you kidding me???!!! This is exactly how to ruin a reputation The customer service there stinks. I eventually spoke to a supervisor. I told him the decision was preposterous, explained why, told him I would never use WU again and now had to find an alternative means to send the money, while waiting up to 7 days to get back the original funds Guess what he said: I advise you sir not to send the money because we detected possible fraud! At which point I told him he had no right to say this to me, to not send money to a friend who needs it and I cut short the conversation because it became clear to me that it was a waste of time I will delete my account as soon as I get my money back

17 Another very disappointed customer. Horrible customer service. They screw up transfers all the time, take forever to get you a refund and they could care less about your complaints. Thankfully, there are other better services that will eventually drive western union out of business.

16 This by far has been my worst way of wiring money. I was trying to receive money in New York. After contacting customer support, they verified that all of my information was correct but their system still tell me that it's incorrect. They told me to try a different branch but all of them have me the same feed back. Some of the branches close down before closing hours, so they pretty much have false information containing hours of operations. After my sender request for a refund, they responded there will be a 7 day wait of the refund and 7 days later there's no refund or feedback. I will never go through them again neither will I suggest their services to anyone else. After my experience, I feel like their business of operations should come to an end.

16 Western Union is the absolute worst. What they are doing is basically fraud. I have tried to send money and they canceled the transaction for no good reason. (You cannot understand the reason because they can barely speak english) , yet they charged my account. I phoned customer service and I was told that they reimburse the money in 5-7 days. They took the money for a service that was not provided and they are free to use it for 5-7 days. FRAUD that's exactly the name of it. Absolutely horrendous customer service. I seriously don't know why this company is still in business.

11 Western Union is the worst company to do business with. If you need money transferred in a hurry don't use Western Union. They cancelled my transfer after saying it was ready for pick up. They took the money out of my bank account after cancelling it and say it will take seven days to get my money back. That happened previously and it took over two weeks to get my money back. This time I put a stop payment with my bank so I should have my money back tomorrow. I must be stupid for trying to use them again. Horrible company.

14 I purchased a money order from western union and tried to get a refund for it because I no longer needed it. I sent all the proper documentation for it and they refused to send the money back. Along with giving me the run around about why they havent recieved the documentation. Keep in mind i sent it via usps(which they said did not recieve it in 30 plus days, i have worked for the post office and i know they are lying) also via email and fax. Nothing was ever recieved by them. Even when i read out the email they sent me saying they recieved my papers but it was incomplete they still stated "they hadn't recieved anything". I was put on hold for over 45 mins each time I tried to get to the bottom of it. Bad business!! Dont do it. Moneygram and walmart is the way to go. Dont give Western Union any business they dont value you as a customer!!

I was put on hold for over 45 mins each time I tried to get to the bottom of it. Bad business!! Dont do it. Moneygram and walmart is the way to go. Dont give Western Union any business they dont value you as a customer!!
10 Very slow service ( slower than ????). I did send money from bank to bank with guaranteed delivery 0-1 business day. I did send on January 2, 2021. Today January 11, 2021. Money wasn't delivered yet. WU refused cancel transaction and refused to do refund. Very disappointed. In future will use only PaySend

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SO BAD. VERY VERY BAD AND NOTHING BUT BAD REVIEWS ABOUT WESTERN UNION HERE. THEY SUCK!!!! I AM SO VERY BUMMED.

10 Do not use them period. They don't stand by their word. I purchased a money order and find that I now have a useless peice of paper that no one accepts. Not even Western Union. I feel like they have stolen my money. It didn't take me 30 days to pay for it so why do I have to wait 30 days and pay a fee to have my money refunded. And yes as you read in other reviews their customer service is lacking badly. They do hang up on you. The recording when you call says that they are doing their best to assist their customers...if that is their best I would not care to know what is less than their best.

10 Do NOT use Western Union in Mexico! A pigeon would have been faster and more reliable. Tried on 3 different days to get my money and multiple locations refused to give me the funds. Western Union makes promises and their local offices refuse to honor them. Super frustrating waste of time and never got my money. Sender had to cancel the transfer and they still kept $15US

9 I transferred £200 on the 28th September abroad, my receiver was not allowed access to the money, after several phone call from myself and several visit to the local western union store by the receiver, I was told on the 7th call I made it’s under “security review” Why couldn’t the first of second person I spoke to tell me this????? By about the 10th call I had made them, I was so sick to death with them sending myself and my receiver round in circles, i wanted a refund on MY money. Over Two weeks later they can not still refund me MY money, they insisted they need a copy of the receivers “place of birth”( which by the way I’ve sent twice already) Why on earth do you need the receivers “place of birth” proof, if I’ve told you they no longer want the money! And I the receiver want a refund. I have never been so poorly treated. I am absolutely disgusted by western union, I will never use your service again. And I recommend anyone who is thinking of using them NOT TO USE THEM!!! Western union have still not refunded my money. So western union has STOLE MY MONEY! And is now beating around the bush to investigate and review this further before they can refund MY money!!!! Western union has STOLE my Money. Western union representatives need more training on their job roles, absolute disgrace!!!

13 WU has no consistency in its compliance approach. After years of flawless sending $ to my relatives in DRC, suddenly this WU person decides the transfer is not safe and she judges it to be fraud. So sending money becomes a haphazard process with WU: sometimes they will accept and execute, other times not. Good luck with a company like this and it's your money that will be somewhere in their pockets for a week or 10 days. Very bad customer service, on top they had me wait 20 minutes, hung up and after calling back and being irritated, they denied the transfer.

10 BEWARE WU CUSTOMERS. NEVER STORE YOUR BANK INFORMATION. SECURITY IS POOR in WU. Western Union is losing credibility and I have seen my friend has got a fraudulent transaction recently. Yesterday my account had one. But I was able to cancel it immediately by luck. Money is sending to New Delhi branch for in-person pickup. I believe data is exposed and customers are in real trouble in this pandemic situation. STAY AWAY!

7 Transfer was initiated on Sep 4 2020 and verification was completed on the same day. I spoke to customer care on Sept 4 and was updated that the receiver would receive the amount on Sept 11-2020 - 11:30 AM EST Sept 11-2020 12:20 PM EST: called customer care as the receiver has not received the amount - Response from customer care-it will be credited to receiver in next 10 mins at 12:30 PM EST. Sept-11-2020 - 12:40 PM EST - called customer care as receiver yet to receive the amount - Response from customer care , Transfer is on HOLD due to pending verification . I was like !!!!! The representative mentioned would transfer the call to the concerned department for resolution->Call transferred, New representative says call is to be transferred to the Agent who is handling my transfer -> I said OK->Call put on hold for 40 mins not connected to any one :) I disconnected to dial again. Sept-11-2020 - 1:00 PM EST called customer care as receiver yet to receive the amount - Response from customer care , You haven't mentioned Receiver Account number (JOKE OF THE MILLENNIUM!!!) . I was like !!!!!, the representative mentioned would transfer the call to the concerned agent for resolution->Call transferred in progress on hold for 40 mins not connected to any one :) I will be cancelling the transfer and would also ensure i delete my account with western union . I hope this experience doesn't even deserve any star.

10 I’ve dealt with this company over the years, their service is getting worse by the day. They don’t honor any most of their clients, keeping you on hold for hours, dragging you and never pay you back even if you decide to cancel. Once they hold your money, you are totally under their mercy. Liars on top, they promise to call you back and you never hear from them. Terrible customer service, agents barely pronounce English properly giving you an interview. What a mess. I’m not sure how they are still in business,

7 I send money on the same day delivery to Eritrea ???????? my sister went to ask if it’s arrived and they asked her the Reference number and she gave it to them then they said “the money is not arrived yet as soon as the money arrive we will give you call please leave your phone number” and she gave them the phone number and waited ten days to call her back but they don’t. Today she went and asked what’s going on they told her it’s been returned. So I went to the western union in Gravesend Kent to ask what happen and they told me it’s been collected on the next day of I put my money in. It was £500 plus £13.90 delivery charge. Now I call to complain and they told me it will take up to 20 days. Now my sister asking neighbours to borrow some money. I’m confused Now did I went to BETTING SHOP.
