Don't use this service... I sent them 02 pieces of valid gov photo identification for account verification purposes, Passport and Ontario ID; and they wouldn't accept either of them, even though that's what they ask for and is standard acceptable identification. What really doesn't make sense either, is that when you use your bank account, they send you a link to verify your banking info, which has you sign in to verify your account and yet they still won't accept your gov identification, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever... They also don't give you a reasonable explanation for the reasons behind them not accepting it.

A great online money transfer company or agency, I never had a problem with Xoom. It's easy and convenient, I compared it with other money transfer company or agency I tried before but with Xoom the money you transferred is received in minutes, you can do it online or over your phone and the fees are affordable. I recommended Xoom to everyone I know.

I have enjoyed using Xoom for over 2 years now. I had tried one of the other "big" name transfer companies and had a complete disaster with their customer service. On the occasion I have had to deal with Xoom's customer service I have found them to be very helpful and responsive. All transactions have gone through as expected and on time. Money in minutes! That is what I love!

Dear Folks at Xoom,
You Are AWESOME! I have been using Xoom for several months now. This is after using another truly horrible service that will remain nameless (Western Union) for many years. The difference is like night and day. The previous hideous unmentioned service (Western Union) was similar to having your teeth pulled without any sedative. Xoom is incredibly easy. They keep you up up-to-date with regard to your transactions, including texts to your mobile device. The transactions happen very quickly, sometimes instantly. And best of all, they do not treat you like a criminal, unlike the previous vile unspoken service (Western Union). Thank you very much, Xoom!
Sincerely,

Hi, Transfer of money from US to India takes 3 to 5 days or more. I spoke about this huge delay with the customer service and I was told it is normal.

First off it took you 5 days to tell me that the bank info want correct: three times. Then when I do the regular transfer I do each month, you had the nerve to ask all the personal info. I’d rather pay my bank an extra fee than share my personal info with you. In fact next month in, I’ll start using QuickBooks for the invoicing instead of PayPal. You earned over 5000 last year in the invoices fee and you don’t deserve that.

Xoom is getting better to accommodate customer in sending money. They used to delay the transaction because of bank account check.

I get that this company wants to protect their customers from fraud but their international verification process is absolutely the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Even after accepting any fraud possibilities they refused to send my transaction to my recipient. I was lectured on the possible long term mental and physical impacts fraud may have on me. Maybe within the U.S. this is a great company but if you are trying to send money internationally I would suggest going with literally any other company.

When I called them they said, "For your verification you need to submit the bank statement," and they didn't accept first one. I went to bank and they stamped the statement and I submit it to them. After week they said, "Please call us for confirmation," which I did, they said, "Well we cannot sent money and we have canceled the transaction and we have also closed your account!" When I asked why, they said, "We cannot tell you!" What sort of service they offer and why they do not tell me about the problem? Of course if there is any problem! DO NO USE THEIR SERVICE.

If I could I would give Xoom a minus 10 and that would be generous. On 2/22/2019 I sent over $1000 from US to Mexico. The transaction was smooth and completed in 2 hours. On 2/27/2019 I initiated another payment of over $1000 dollars to the same recipient. After the request, I received a phone call from a Xoom representative who told me I had to go through a verification process before money could be sent. OK a little irritating because not necessary on first transaction. The questions started out with basic information I had already submitted. Then the rep asked who the recipient was and what was our relationship. The the rep asked WHAT THE MONEY WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? She said that was standard procedure. I protested but was told it must be answered.
I was flustered and asked to speak to supervisor, who confirmed that was standard procedure. OK now I thought transaction will go forward. No, I was asked to send pic of my ID. OK. Then I was told transaction would take 1 to 3 days to complete. I was flabbergasted. What if it was an emergency? The response always the same; company procedure. I called numerous times to check on status. The last time I checked on their app I accidentally pressed the cancel button. I immediately called to explain my mistake and could they please reverse the cancellation request. NO can't do that. Submit a new request. EXCUSE ME!!! The proverbial last straw. Now comes the good part. The website explains the money was already deducted from my account. A REFUND CAN BE EXPECTED IN 5 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS!!! INCREDIBLE. After reading this anyone who would do business with Xoom is a masochist. Z.

Some money transfer apps give us a code to make sure that the person who receive the money is the one that we approved. But what Xoom never share is that not always is necessary that code to pick up the money, they told me is depend of the place I send money. Long story short, I bought something online so I was supposed to let the other person know the code as soon I receive the package as guarantee.
But in Dominican Republic some places don’t ask for the code and just give the money to the person. I never receive the product and as soon I sent the money someone just picked it up when I did not share the code with anyone and after I complain about the security issues they just said “sorry, sometimes depend of the place you send the people can just take it without any code or number” and no one assisted me so I lost a big amount of money.

I used to have 2 PayPal accounts -- each for a different purpose. Then, I was told I couldn't have two. So, I was told in order to send money anonymously to Canada, I'd need to use Zoom. Of course, you charge more to do that now than what I used to pay. So, I set up a Zoom account and kept my original Paypal account that I use for on-line purposes. Now, I got told I can't have a Zoom account AND a PayPal account. So, you made me cancel one of them. This is all annoying, especially now that I have to pay higher fees to make my payment to Canada each month. I seem to be stuck using you guys, but I only do for payments to Canada because I haven't found an alternative -- yet.

I have used Xoom many times to send money to friends and family overseas. In all instances, Xoom has been very quick at the front end in processing the remittance. Xoom would send notification about the transaction, providing up to the minute information. If and when there was a delay in the funds reaching the recipient party, it was due to the corresponding bank at the back end needing more documentation about the recipient. In these cases Xoom would inform about the delay and what the requirements were to complete the transaction. In most cases, the transfer of funds took less than 10 hours. Based on this experience I recommend Xoom to my friends.

I initially started off with a decent experience. The transfers I did to a friend who needed help in Brazil were fast. Until, however, another friend tried sending him money. Both of our accounts were banned for 'suspicious/fraudulent' activities and NO reasons were given to us, outside of a copy/paste automatic email telling us we were screwed. No way to contest and no explanation. All we received was, essentially, Xoom can pick and choose who to ban and not give any reason for it, all at the whims of a robot. Trying to be nice and help a friend? Banned. Try to reach out and chastise them for condescending customer service? Get talked down to like a dog for daring to ask what rule you broke in addition to another condescending, robotic response. Xoom: Don't try to help your friends or you'll be banned. A PayPal service.

I had a bad experience with Xoom. I recently opened an account with Xoom to send money to a friend in Thailand who wanted to buy some tools to groom her dog. I thought I was being a nice person to help my friend out. I connected my PayPal account with no big problem and got my friend to send over a bunch of personal information. I then did the transfer at what seemed like reasonable fees. I got a confirmation number saying that my transfer was pending. I was told to call Xoom. This is when the experience went downhill.
The customer service rep started interrogating me about my transaction in one of the most accusatory tones imaginable. No friendliness, just a mean-spirited tone. When I told my story, she did not lighten up one bit. After the call, she said that they needed to verify my phone number in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later they called and verified my phone number. But that was not enough. I was told my transaction would be transferred to her bosses. The next day I received an email saying my account had been closed and transaction cancelled. All for no apparent reason. I have plenty of money in my bank and it was a transfer straight out of my account. Xoom sucks.

PayPal wanted me to sign for Xoom. It was timely as I needed to send a small payment to pay a traffic ticket in Europe. After I processed the payment, they immediately canceled it with no explanation. When I called, I was told that it was canceled because the payment was to a government entity and not to a private non-commercial party. It was not really explained anywhere on their website well, but OK, I let it slide. Sometime later I needed to send money to a friend Russia. Zoom advertises that they do it all the time.
First time I put it through, it was immediately canceled. When I called to find out, they transferred me to a “verification” department and told me that they needed to verify my information for my own protection. OK, they asked me all kinds of questions and told me that I was successfully verified and I could now resend the money. Here we go again. I put the transaction through the second time. I immediately get a message that I need to call and to be verified again. I go through the same questions again, they again tell me that they verified everything and that the transaction is initiated and I will be contacted.
Transaction is shown as “started”. Then about 15 hours later I get a cancellation message, no explanation. Another 20 min later, I get a bomb, they closed my Xoom account altogether. Explanation? None. “We can close it at any time”. Well, PayPal customer of many years, thousands on commissions paid to them, - all means nothing.
