How does Sendwave work?

Sendwave works by allowing you to send money from a debit card to select countries abroad. You sign up for the app, enter sending and payment details and then send money at your leisure.

Sendwave doesn’t charge transfer fees. Instead, it makes money by offering you slightly worse than the mid-market rate when you exchange currency.

Keep in mind that big players like Western Union and MoneyGram make money on both exchange rate spreads and fees that can be higher for specific types of transactions, like paying with your debit card. With Sendwave, you cut out the fee altogether and only have to worry about the exchange rate.

FAQs:

1. Can I cancel a Sendwave transaction?

Yes, as long as the funds haven’t been delivered yet. Because Sendwave sends fast transactions, canceling may be difficult even if you do it immediately after sending. To cancel, select the transaction in the Sendwave app and choose Cancel.

2.How do I contact Sendwave’s customer support?

Customer support information can be found in the Sendwave app. The app also allows you to call or text customer support, whichever is easier for you.

3. Why can’t I use a credit card or PayPal with Sendwave?

Sendwave has chosen not to accept credit cards or PayPal because both options cost the company processing fees. According to the company, accepting only debit cards allows it to keep costs low and pass savings on to customers.

    The app is not functional. I made a new account because my family in Africa kept recommending Sendwave for sending money. I completed the setup but now I can't add a recipient and there's no internet connection. Contacted support, waited on hold for almost 30 minutes, then got transferred to different departments with no solution. The last person said it's my phone, no memory space. My phone is new and has lots of space. I'll delete the app.

    The app makes it easy for family members to send money to their loved ones. Customer service is quick and efficient, with no long wait times. Unlike other platforms that make promises they can't keep, Sendwave delivers on what it promises. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I was convinced. Try it out yourself to see how great it is!

    It feels fishy. You can't delete your account, just uninstall the app. They ask for lots of personal details and even require a photo ID. I gave my driver's license but they demanded a passport photo. I opted for a different service. They asked a few questions and cautioned about sending money abroad. Everything went smoothly with the money transfer.

    This app is just awful. I won't use it anymore. It's so slow. Their network always has a delay. It can take more than 24 hours for a pending transaction to go through. The system isn't safe. Twice, when I used their service, my money got stolen because someone hacked into the recipients' accounts without any notification of the funds being received. It happened with two different recipients on two separate occasions.

    Just gotta get through that identity verification step, then this app is great! Some people might have issues because of this. Once you download the app, verify your identity, you can start sending money to family and friends with ease. Remember not to log out, as money can't be sent without a password. It's straightforward and convenient.

    This app is great and helpful. I have family in Nairobi, Kenya, and it's simple to set up their Mpesa account and connect it with mine. It's convenient to ensure your family gets the support they require. There are security measures like verifying your ID and address, but that's standard for money transfers. Thanks, Sendwave!

    I discovered this app recently and decided to try it out for the first time to send money from Madrid to Lebanon. The process was super easy and I believe the security measures are crucial. It's great that they don't charge any fees compared to other apps and money transfer services that have high fees. Thank you, Sendwave, for this innovative app.

    I used this app for a few years and it worked well. However, since March 2020, it hasn't been functioning on my Samsung phones. The Sendwave help desk couldn't solve the issue. The app works on Apple devices, so it's not an account problem, but it just won't work on Android devices. When I try to select a contact from the address book, the app freezes every time. I noticed others facing the same problem. Chime, please don't tell me to contact the help desk again because I've already done that.
