This app is completely unusable. I kept getting error C9203 (receiver info error) no matter what I did. Guess what? If you go to the WU counter, they can retrieve exactly the same recipient info and remit the funds, no problem. The difference? It'll cost you 10% more in FX rates + $15 trx fee. Nah, I'll stick to using the banks.

The app works well but Western Union is an incredibly difficult company to work with. You will spend hours on the phone verifying yourself and have to do it all over again with the slightest discrepancy. They ask every personal question they can think of and cancel transactions at the slightest concern. The interrogation is like you have committed a crime. I've been using Remitly for a while now. The Remitly process is instant and seamless. I have never needed to call to fix a problem.

Please be aware that to protect our consumers and the company's own interests, Western Union may have to take a few steps to confirm your identity and other details before you complete your transaction. WU closely monitors transactions and has a responsibility to understand how its service is being used. We apologize for any inconveniences.

Used to work well, but each time I confirmed and received the one time password the app would close, reopen, and display the transfer as incomplete. I press resume, get another OTP and it closes and reopens again. What happened? It was so reliable before
