“Damn, this people are real scammers I tried sending 200€ to my friend in Ukraine and they took the money from my account and started asking me lots of questions and at the end of the day after waiting for two days I tried Calling them many times and I finally received an email saying that they were unable to process my transfer and my account have been close. I never received my money back and that was the end of it........ so bad!”
“Not safe, avoid at all costs.
Won't answer emails or telephone calls about my money. Instead of giving back what they've taken, they closed my account. Of course I insisted, only to find they have blacklisted my data.
Don't lose your money, stay away from Azimo.”
“Please if you want to keep your hard earned money! Stay away. I sent money in dicember to Nigeria ! It never got there . They said they had a problem and the money will
Be sent back! Nothing came back. It’s almost February and nothing. They are thieves . I should have read reviews before. I use Spoko now and they have higher rates and are ore reliable. It is no surprise that Azimo has so many many bad ratings .. Nigeria government has officially banned them from making transactions.
BEWARE AND STAY AWAY! They are thieves just taking your money. They take one and deliver one! Please earn ur own money! I have earned my with sweat!! I am still waiting for my money!!!!!”
“Absoluly NO GO !
I only wanted to transfer 50 euros, after transferring the money to Azimo they start asking me for lots of documents and asking me lots of questions .... but damn it's for only 50 euros, if it was 50,000 euros I would understand but for 50? after answering their questions and transferring documents then suddenly radio silence! no return from them, the money is still blocked at Azimo! cancellation requested but then nothing!”
“I made a USD transfer advertised as fee-free by Azimo and the money arrived $20 short. They blamed intermediary fees but were unable to state which intermediary was used, nor why the transfer fee was quoted as $0. Repeated complaints have yielded dismissive responses each time. Absolutely woeful and dishonest service. You're much better off with Transferwise or even your bank.”
“BAD
Does not send money in time / my transfer was rejected after waiting 2 days and my other was cancelled without me doing anything for no reason at all.
Happened before so I wouldn't dare sending anything with them again”
“I sent 800 pounds on 6 November and another 50 pounds on 16 November I have tried to get my refund back but I have not got my email I used when signed up as my phone broke now I get send a message from the account I have not got I am now waiting to hear now what I need to do to prove money mine so when will I get my refund if ever as no help”
“Azimo's processes are a joke, you will spend hours on the phone to support (useless) and wait days for any responses. They told me to make a transfer, then mysteriously had a "technical issue" once I had made the payment, saying all they could do was to refund to money (+5days) or make a new transfer for a WORSE exchange rate. Go with transferwise instead...”
“My debit card details were stolen and were (attempted to be) used online to make a transfer through this company. Luckily my bank sends me an authorisation code so they were not able to complete the transaction - however I would be concerned about the security of this site if a customer is able to enter credit/debit card details when there is clearly a different name on the card.”
“Incredibly bad. Never again! I needed 91,000 euros from Germany to Thailand to buy a property. This is only possible with five transactions of 18,200 euros each.
I started the transactions on Monday. Then there were requests for documents as to whether I could afford it (bank statement) and where I got the money from (proof of origin). But not everything was requested together, no, something new every day and the review took one day at a time.
After I had been assured that the exchange rate on Monday would be valid for five days, I waited to transfer the money to Azimo, if there were any problems, so that I could quickly switch to TransferWise, as I have to have the money in the account on Saturday.
On Wednesday all the documents were gloriously checked and I transferred 18,200 euros five times.
Four transfers were there by noon, the fifth just didn't want to show up at Azimo.
Then a transfer from Azimo was canceled because the exchange rate had changed to their disadvantage. "I can ask for a refund, which takes three to five days" - knowing full well that I need the money in two days. The fun cost me 10,000 baht, just under 300 euros.
A few hours later there was also the missing transfer. And again the same game: "sorry, the exchange rate has deteriorated, but you can apply for a refund". No time for it, as written above, and another 300 euros paid. No one wanted to remember the promise that the exchange rate would last for five days.
The whole back and forth cost me a lot of money and nerves. Azimo advertises with low fees, but the exchange rates are significantly worse than with Transferwise. And then they also make cash by subsequently imposing even worse exchange rates on the customer.”
“I sent €625 with transfer ID: H37A7F using azimo since Thursday 3rd September 2020, Azimo deducted money directly from my account and refused to credit the beneficiary even after they asked me to attach documents after documents, now azimo later said it cancel the transaction on Friday 4th. Up till now azimo has not credited my account back, nor answer my calls, infact azimo remove my account from its site but I have informed the federal police in Belgium.”
“I sent money trough Azimo however money was not dispatch and on top up I did not get my refund. I tried to informed customer service but there is no facility apart from message which took longer to get reply. Its fraudulent and scam service.”
“Excellent service and the best rate available. Just transferred 15,000 GBP to my bank in the USA. Received funds in 48 hours and very helpful customer service team when I called in to discuss the process. Nearly did not use due a few negative reviews but glad I did, no problems at all”
“SCAMMERS! FRAUD!
I have transferred £2,100 for my family last August 1,2020. The family have not received. Despite the promise in their website of only few hours transaction to be completed.
I contacted support service through email and messages and ask what had happened, they then told me to send support documents which I complied. Three days after, Nothing was received from my family. I contacted them again to cancel my transaction as the money is urgently needed.
August 3, They returned in my account only £2,000. There is clear deficit of £100. Up until now, they don’t reply to my email or messages in the app.
Please don’t be fooled with them.
Today, August 5,2020. Still they don’t reply to me nor give me feedback what happened. There is no number that I can call. They still have not returned to my account £100 the deficit.
I have kept all my evidences through screenshots and my bank statements for future reference. I will then, escalate this to FCA if I will not hear from them anytime soon.
I have tried to access my account but they seemed tried to deactivate my account? Errors had been appearing.
These people aren’t genuine. Can’t imagine they have been doing this scam in this pandemic times.”

“Azimo is a fraud! Never use them! Or you may get trapped like me!!! I tried to send a lot of money, my life savings through Azimo to my mum.
Azimo took my money then began to drag... its been 9 days now, the transaction is yet to be completed. They reply your message only once a day and do not give reasonable reason why your money is delayed.”
“Money transferred on 24th July hasn't reached recipient today 30th July. COVID-19 is the cause for delay apparently, who would have thought!Excuses, excuses excuses 😅”
