My money is taking longer to process than I expected

You will have received an email from WorldRemit Support stating “your transaction is on its way.” Within the email, it says how long it will take. Have you been waiting less than this amount of time?

Yes

Please wait until after the time specified within the email has elapsed to allow time for your transfer to be processed.

No

If your transfer is taking longer than you expect, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. We may have asked you to provide additional information or documentation. You can check this by seeing if you have an email from us, or by checking your transfer status. 

  2. There may be an issue that we’re working to resolve. If this is true, we’ll keep you informed by email. You can wait for this to be resolved, or request cancellation through the website and / or app.
