Avoid - Skyremit switched Banking partners
I would strongly advise others to be very careful before using SkyRemit. I have communicated with SkyRemit through WeChat. They previously used DBS for payments, but they switched to Nium. In my case, the transfer to my bank in South Africa was rejected because the wrong intermediary banking code was used. I have the SWIFT GPI tracker, UETR number, proof of payment, and the transaction timeline showing exactly what happened. The payment was rejected in August, yet more than USD 3,000 is still stuck and has not been returned to me. What makes this worse is that it has been extremely difficult to speak to a real person who can take responsibility, explain where the funds are, and give me a confirmed refund date. This has caused me a huge amount of stress. Until SkyRemit can resolve cases like this quickly and provide proper real-time support when large amounts of money are involved, I personally would not use them again and would not recommend them to others.
