Remitly
Remitly is an international money transfer service focused on affordability and speed, letting immigrants send funds home to over 170 countries.
What is Remitly?
Remitly was founded in 2011 in Seattle with a clear mission: make international money transfers faster, cheaper, and more transparent than traditional services. The company went public in 2021 and serves customers sending money to over 170 countries, with a particular focus on the immigrant communities in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Europe who regularly send remittances to family in South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Remitly's digital-first model allows transfers to be initiated in minutes through its app or website.
One of Remitly's competitive advantages is its promise-based transfer system: customers can choose between an "Express" speed (typically within hours) and an "Economy" option for lower fees and next-day delivery. The platform guarantees fees are locked at initiation, provides real-time exchange rate transparency, and sends notifications at each stage of the transfer lifecycle. This level of communication-around-the-transfer is a core part of the trust Remitly has built with its customer base.
Remitly outages are financially consequential: transfer submissions fail on the app, exchange rate quotes become unavailable or stale, in-progress transfers stop generating status notifications, bank account linking and verification steps refuse to complete, and scheduled recurring transfers do not initiate. For customers relying on Remitly for time-sensitive remittances to family members, even a brief outage can create real anxiety about whether a transfer went through.
Outage.gg tracks Remitly service disruptions through community reports. If your transfer is failing, the app is down, or you cannot receive status updates on a sent payment, check the live status page to confirm the issue and get notified when Remitly is fully operational.
