      They took our money and then closed our account. I attempted to use their service to transfer money to the Philippines. They took our money, nearly one thousand dollars, sent us confirmation that it was on its way to our recipients in the Philippines, and then closed our account without sending it, tying up our money and hurting the vulnerable recipients who needed it. Now tell us they will likely have our money a week before we get it back. Here’s what happened: On February 16, 2024, we opened an account and made two transfers one for $544.20 and the other for $398.69. We were assured were SENT and would be in recipient’s hands within a few hours. The funds – total $942.89 -- were debited from our bank account on February 16, and are as of yet STILL unavailable. The next morning wake up to message from very troubled recipient that no funds had arrived. No information over the weekend. Monday, three days later, we receive an email stating only "your amount remains closed." First we heard about the account being closed. I call Xe. They tell me it could likely three MORE days before they return our money. They made zero effort to help resolve the problem, except saying “we’re sorry for the inconvenience.” I asked to be referred to a supervisor or complaint department or anything, only to be refused, but they’re “sorry for the inconvenience.” Horrible, destructive, uncaring company.

      !!! Stay Away !!!My recent experience with a money transfer service that has been highly disappointing and misleading. I transferred money using a debit card, expecting an expedited process as advertised. However, the service charged me approximately $4.50 per $1000 for using a debit card, and the exchange rate was lower than that for an ACH transfer. Despite these higher costs, the transaction was not processed immediately. Instead, I found out that my money would only be transferred after two days, contradicting the service's claims of quick transfers. This misinformation misleads customers and wastes both time and money. Had I known this, I would have opted for an ACH transfer, which offers a better rate and no transaction fees. Upon contacting customer service, I learned that cancellations are not straightforward. They require sending an email to another department, with no option for customers to cancel transactions themselves. This lack of control and transparency is frustrating. There are many other services that offer better rates, lower fees, and more reliable customer support. I urge you not to be swayed by their $20 gift card incentive as it does not compensate for the poor service and the uncertainty surrounding transactions.
