Yes, for most of the customers who complain about their remittance service provider, it’s been a nightmare on why the delay happened just for them. Yes, it does happen and ultimately it’s not completely just on the remittance service provider but on the whole end to end process. The reason may be because of the following:

• Delay with Agents,
• Delay with receiving banks,
• Delay on acknowledgement from the receiving banks,
• Delay with processing by the remittance service provider.

Time vs Remittance Service Provider:

It is important to note that the transfer time varies a lot based on the remittance provider. This also depends upon the country to which the service is for. Some providers like Remitly, Xoom and RIA Money Transfer does support instant deposits to their major recipient countries that includes India, Mexico, Pakistan and Nigeria.

Online money transfer services are really safe, fast and efficient. Physical checks are sometimes prone to be misused unlike the online money transfer system where your secure information is no longer persisted after your transfer. This also ensures the financial system that was used to transfer money is a verified authority from any banker in the country.

How to ensure your money transfer is safe in a public network?

Are you using your public network to transfer money? Just be aware that almost all of the remittance service providers are running with https with a Secure Socket Layer(SSL) that ensures the information transmitted over the network is safe and secure. But it is also important to note that you verify the trust certificate of the Remittance Service Provider before you start sending money with them.
