Don't transact with Thunes. My PayPal mpesa transfer is pending for days...The customer care says the funds are still with Paypal while the authorization to Thunes was successful and even Paypal sent me an email receipt acknowledging the same. Thunes release my money.

We’ll escalate this immediately and work to get your funds released as quickly as possible.
This is the worst company I have ever sort services from. Their customer care provider, Teresia Juma, is very clueless and has absolutely no knowledge of how to serve customers. She doesn't even know company policies she constantly referred me to. Absolute worst.

No real customer support. Website pages broken, bad service. I've made a purchase having them as middle man, there's still no confirmation of payment from their part, while I had my money taken from my bank for a long time.

Ignore the positive reviews! Its 2024 they are now in the scam phase! They took my money and gave very ret4rded renpsonses without explaining why.. Very poor customer services 0.1/10

We’d really appreciate the opportunity to review what happened and provide a clear explanation. If you could share your transaction details with us via https://support.thunes.com, our team will investigate your case thoroughly and work to make things right.
Tried to withdraw from Paypal to Mpesa but the funds were refunded. When I contact Thunes customer care they say my account is under investigation. When I ask why, they do not give any reason and then say they do not know when the investigation will be complete. It has been more than a week now and I still can't withdraw anything. A very unprofessional and snoopy company. Stay away from them if possible.

Did a transaction, Mpesa to Paypal. The transaction was successfully debited from my account to Thunes. However, it seems there was a technical glitch between Thunes and PayPal and the transaction failed. On engaging the customer care, they seem to happy to close ticket rather than resolve issue. First one said I retry transaction yet they have my money that would lead to double payment. The other one just sees failed in system transaction status and does not review first if they're in receipt of my money and second which leg did it fail: Between myself and their end as the intermediary or their end and PayPal. Service has always operated smoothly up until now, but the lack of due diligence by customer care and because of witholding my money and not admitting they have it, its a star rating of 1 for me.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed account of your experience—we’re truly sorry for the breakdown in both service and communication you’ve described. It’s especially disappointing to hear this, knowing you’ve had smooth transactions with us in the past. You're absolutely right to expect a clear explanation of where the issue occurred. In the meantime, we’d like to make this right. If you could share your transaction reference again via https://support.thunes.com, please mention this review so we can fast-track your case for proper investigation and follow-up.
