Ordered a prepaid currency card

It is easier to contact that well-known dead Medium, Doris Stokes, than it is to talk to a member of Customer Services at FairFX.
3 times this morning I have tried - hanging on for 30 minutes a time. Rubbish service.

I place £1500 on a travel card and it kept on being declined when trying to use.
Customer service number not in use. Online chat not in use
A pretty shitty experience when you're abroad and the support is non exsistant.

On 11/05/2021 I paid FairFX to transfer an amount in Euro's to my Cypriot Bank account. This has never arrived into my account.Have contacted them by phone but have not been given any explanation of why my money is not in my account. I have used this company for a number of years but seriously doubt that I will use them again. At the moment I am £980.72 worse off. I am still hoping that I will either get my money back or if will end up in my Cypriot account.

Trying to close the account and put the money back into my regular bank. No option to do this on their website, no availability on phone, live chat does not reply and several emails have gone unanswered. Terrible customer service
Hello Malcolm,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry that you're unhappy with the speed of our response. I can see that we responded and were able to speak with you to assist you with the refund within 24 hours of your first message to us.
We were particularly busy yesterday, and I'm sorry if you were kept waiting for a response longer than you should have been and for any frustration this caused.
If there is anything else we can help you with, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you,
FairFX.

Loaded money into the account. As they force you to before they will even issue a card. Because I haven't received the card I have no access to this money and they are refusing to even refund the money I have on it

Ordered a prepaid US dollar card
16 May 2021
Had all sorts of issues with a linked card, couldn't log in. Had to keep chasing them to get something sorted. Very poor customer service. Money transferred after 5pm Friday won't show up until Monday. This could be after midday. I'm told it's because they have to do it manually. Come on guys you don't have people doing this over the weekend or 24 hrs. Very poor show. Looking to move.
Hi Ric,
I'm really sorry to hear your comments. You can load your card by credit or debit card over the weekend, including bank holidays. We recommend this payment method to most of our customers as it's usually the fastest way to get funds on your card. Bank transfers take longer to credit with us unfortuantely.
Thank you
