A very dishonest company

A very dishonest company. Their support is terribly bad and takes forever before they get back to you. They do not solve problems to send money instead they try to keep the money as long as possible. They do not answer your questions directly to intentionally delay and extend the process. I strongly advise against using them. The other branch of the same company namely TalRemit is actually better, but has a lower rate.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you’ve faced. However, it appears that your review may have been meant for Dahabshiil.com, not Dahabshiil.co.uk.

We want to clarify that Dahabshiil.co.uk operates as a separate service with its own customer support and processes. If your experience was with Dahabshiil.com, we kindly ask that you consider removing or updating your review to reflect the correct platform — this helps ensure feedback is directed to the right team and maintains fairness across services.

That said, if you ever use Dahabshiil.co.uk, we’d be more than happy to assist you and ensure a smooth experience.

Thank you again, and we wish you all the best.

⚠️ DO NOT USE DAHABSHIIL

⚠️ DO NOT USE DAHABSHIIL – ABSOLUTELY USELESS SERVICE ⚠️

I sent money for cash pick-up and the recipient didn’t even get the exchange rate I paid for on the first two transactions. Then I sent a larger amount (£5,000) and the bank refused to release it – even though the recipient had full ID and met all requirements.

The pick-up location listed on their website was completely wrong – it was actually a 4-hour drive away. He had to spend the night there, only to be told the next day there’s a £3,000 daily payout limit, meaning he had to stay another night to collect the rest.

Their customer service is a joke – no phone support, slow replies via online chat hours later, and zero care for customers.

🚫 Save yourself the stress – stick to Remitly. They’re faster, safer, have great customer service, and honour the rates they advertise.

Terrible customer service. AVOID.

Terrible customer service.
Exchange rate might be better, however they have terrible customer service.
They dont answer phone and request to leave a message which probably goes to trash as they never return your call.
If you try to reach them via chat, they will take hours to reply and then disappear without answering.
Even after sending the required documents proving source of funds, they will request same documents again.
When you request them a call to clarify, they will not answer.
I regret my decision to try them after reading 70% positive reviews, thinking that I might have a better experience.

Hi,

We’re very sorry to hear about your frustrating experience, and we understand how concerning it must be when a transaction is delayed without clear communication. However, we’d like to clarify that this Trustpilot page is for Dahabshiil.co.uk, not Dahabshiil.com.

From your review, it sounds like the issues you're facing—particularly related to a transaction made on 7th August 2024, lack of response via chat, and delays in remittance—are linked to Dahabshiil.com, which operates independently.

For the first time i used this service…

For the first time i used this service but I’m very very disappointed! Since Saturday 15.06.2024 at 01:30Am i sent the money to the Gambia yet the recipient didn’t receive any money! And is still showing me on my app that is in processing i don’t understand anything about it!. Normally with the other apps it takes 5 to 10min the recipient could get the money.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're truly sorry to hear about the delay with your transaction — we completely understand how upsetting that must be, especially when you're trying to support someone urgently.

However, we believe your review may have been posted on the wrong Trustpilot page. This profile is for Dahabshiil.co.uk, which is a separate platform from Dahabshiil.com.

From the details you've shared (including use of the mobile app and a transaction to The Gambia), it sounds like your experience was with Dahabshiil.com.

To ensure your concerns reach the right support team who can assist you, please leave your review here:

We would also appreciate it if you could kindly remove your review from Dahabshiil.co.uk, as it doesn't reflect our services and may confuse other users.

I think this company Dahabshill offers a great deal in remittances. The platform I use in Canada is great but lately there is some bureaucracy showing it's teeth. It needs to be seamless and straightforward. the way World Remit works. World Remit also has a stellar reputation and has been at this a little bit longer. So it would be better for Dahabshill to copy WR in the online spectrum.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Their customer support is really unhelpful and only asks me to wait and be patient, and one guy had a really bad attitude. You get a new one every hour or so though so I guess that's a plus. I even wonder if this is some sort of scam since they only seem to want to delay the process in every step. I've sent the money 3 days ago and not yet received any answer as to where my money went or when it will be received. This is terrible since the money is needed urgently. I cannot advise you enough to use another service.

I have contacted Saeed Egeh from Dahabshiil after accidentally sending $600 to a wrong number in Somalia. I requested to get that money back. Saeed was helpful and considerate associate. He has addressed and escalated my request in timely fashion. Now I got my money back and want to say thank you Saeed Egeh and others from Dahabshiil Company. I’m glad that Dahabshiil has employees like Saeed Egeh.
Thank you very much.

Easy-to-use

Dahabshiil was easy and reliable to use. The money was transferred to the beneficiary’s account straight away and I received an email when the money was collected.
