When using Remitly for international remittances, for various reasons, we may need to cancel or change a submitted remittance order. Understanding how to cancel, refund, and change an order is crucial for every user. Remitly offers some flexible options to help users manage their remittance affairs in different situations.
This article will detail the process of canceling remittances on Remitly, remittance fees, processing times, and other related service guarantees.

When remitting money on Remitly, users have the right to cancel or change an order before it is processed. If you find errors in the information you filled in or encounter other issues, you can easily cancel the remittance and apply for a refund online. The specific steps are as follows:
Log in to your Remitly account.
Locate the remittance order you need to cancel.
Follow the instructions on the website and select to cancel the order or apply for a refund.
Once the operation is completed, you will receive relevant confirmation information. If you cancel the order, your remittance will no longer be processed; if it is a refund request, it will usually be processed within a maximum of 10 working days, and the specific time also depends on the payment method you used.
For an already - sent remittance, if you choose to cancel or apply for a refund, the refund time usually does not exceed 10 working days.
The specific refund time depends on the payment method you use. For example, the refund processing time for credit card payments may be relatively short, while that for bank transfers may take longer. Users can query the refund progress and status at any time through the customer service channels provided by Remitly.
Remitly offers several different remittance options to provide flexible solutions for users with different needs. Based on your remittance amount, urgency, and destination, you can choose from the following main transfer types:
The remittance service provided by Remitly has a flexible and diverse processing speed. Depending on different transfer types and destinations, the processing time will vary. Usually, the vast majority of remittances can be completed within one hour at the fastest. This means that the funds will reach the recipient’s account quickly, especially guaranteeing the speed for users with urgent needs.
However, not all remittances can be completed within just a few hours. In some cases, especially for remittances to remote areas or those involving large amounts of funds, it may take up to five working days to complete. This is because the financial systems of some destinations have a slower processing speed, so the completion time of the remittance may be extended.
Remitly attaches great importance to the security of users’ funds. Therefore, during the remittance process, it adopts a number of security measures to ensure the safety of transactions. First, users need to go through identity verification when making a remittance to ensure that every transaction is real and valid. At the same time, Remitly provides real - time notifications to help users track the status and progress of remittances, reducing risks in transactions.
If you have concerns about the security of the transaction, Remitly also provides an online customer support service. Users can contact Remitly’s customer service team through live chat, phone, or email to get timely help. In addition, Remitly also offers anti - fraud protection and multi - factor authentication measures to fully safeguard every remittance.
If the recipient fails to receive the money on time, you can submit a refund request through Remitly. First, you need to provide Remitly with relevant evidence to prove that the remittance did not successfully reach the recipient’s account. Then, you need to follow the refund guidelines provided by Remitly to complete the application process. When processing the refund, Remitly will verify the remittance information and the evidence provided to ensure that the refund request meets the requirements.
The refund process usually takes some time to process, so users are advised to be patient when applying. If you need to solve the problem quickly, you can contact Remitly’s customer service at any time for more help.
In addition to the traditional web - based remittance, Remitly also offers a mobile application, allowing users to complete remittances via mobile phones. Through Remitly’s mobile app, users can not only remit money conveniently but also enjoy low fees and competitive exchange rates. Moreover, the mobile app provides additional security measures such as fingerprint recognition and facial recognition to ensure that every remittance can be completed safely and smoothly.
The remittance service provided by Remitly is very flexible. It not only supports cancellation and refund but also offers a variety of remittance rates suitable for different needs and flexible processing times.
