Contact MoneyGram Support

This app was probably created by someone who’s never sent money abroad, or only sends money to one or two recipients. Shocking it is rated a Five, probably by users who only send money to one or two recipients. If you send money to multiple recipients regularly, you have no option to simply click the recipient’s name and click resend. You have to click “add recipient”, as though you never sent money to that person before. They give you just a couple of old recipients to resend to, but of course that doesn’t work for heavy users. You could go to the transaction history page and view the old recipients, but don’t have a resend button there either. Further, several parts of this app are completely illogical. For example, there’s a page to search for closest MoneyGram locations. You can either click search now, or click “Maybe Later”. Which again demonstrates lazy thinking. If you click “Maybe Later”, the app takes you to the next page which is a search screen for the closest MoneyGran location. In other words, the “Maybe Later” button doesn’t mean a thing. Go figure!! Several other options on this App are plain stupid. Whoever designed this app wasn’t thinking. Real lousy work. Demonstrates a truckload of incompetence and lazy thinking.

I registered then send a $400 to my dad in the Philippines. A message showed will take about 30 minutes for the transaction to be approved. Almost an hour no email whatsoever. I tried to login back to check the status and won't let me access my account and want me to call their customer service number. I talked to one CS rep and asked me the information I entered. I gave all the information but she can't find the email address. No information in their system. I told her not possible because I submitted my drivers license before the moneygram website let me submit the $. And she keep asking me over and over to give her the right information. I even asked her if she want the address and authorization number because I took a screenshot of it. She insisted the same thing email add, name and birthday which I did repeatedly. It's been 9 hrs and still waiting for approval and can't access my account. I asked her at least cancel the transaction since I have the authorization number but she refused to do that also. Good thing before I even logout I deleted my card information.

Do not risk using MoneyGram and if you had to use it, DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES, or they will hold your money for weeks no matter what. So, others might have different experiences with MoneyGram, I don’t know. I just take time and right down my experience to at least help someone. I usually use Wester Union and never had issues even if I happened to make typing mistakes. WU App was down and I had to use MoneyGram to send money to my family as they needed it immediately. I was in hurry and mistyped one word of the receiver. Since MoneyGram says they amend the name if there was mistakes, it’s a false statement. It took me two hours to talk and explain the situation to MoneyGram agents, but they barely speak English and finally asked me to cancel the transaction as they really don’t have the amendment option despite they claim they have. I had to cancel the transaction and it’s been 11 days that I still haven’t received my money plus they didn’t refund all charges and fees. They send money to any part of the world in minutes but they hold your own money for weeks, isn’t it weird and vague?
