Monito provided free counseling which helped me to understand the whole process. (Neither the transfer companies nor my bank could explain it.). Before I spoke to M. Briod, I had been checking their site for rates for months - very useful tool. They also get special deals for you if you use their site.

Monito has opened my eyes, in transferring money!

Comparison table, showing all the fees including hidden fees and what you get in the destination account, was what I could not find anywhere but in Monito. Thanks to the management

Fantastic way to easily decide which money transfer service is best for me at a particular point in time (I'm doing multiple transfers to different countries). The website is well laid out, the Monito reviews about each service provider seem accurate and unbiased, and it's free and easy to use. Furthermore, their customer support is great.

I recommend Monito to any business or individual

I was looking for a payment solution for our business in order to pay in other currencies and I was hesitating between a few of them. Thanks to Monito, I was able to make a choice, eyes closed. The team was 100% available and took the time to answer to all my questions precisely. I know that I can rely on their expertise which makes us save monthly high transfer and banking fees.

Stay away

For a money transfer to the US Monito suggested Azimo to me. Azimo turned out to be a big mistake and I regret very much to ever have come across that company. Forget the "great exchange rate" suggestion you get here and go to a serious transfer provider.

@Francois from Monito - to your response:
I have been using a very reliable transfer service for 10 years. I was never asked for a contract with the recipient or any information like that. It is a simple wire transfer from one bank account to another. Also, why do the checks come one after the other and not in one list? Little by little with 24 response time every time.
And why are they asking me to transfer my money to Azimo first and then they get the idea that they have to go through checks. They can do that before I give them 8000 €.

And to your ratings of excellence. We all know the truth behind that, don't we?

We're sorry to hear that you are having a bad experience with a service we recommended you. Please send us an email to support@monito.com and we'll help you resolve it if we can.

Azimo is currently offering the best deal for money transfers from Germany to the United States: https://www.monito.com/send-money/germany/united-states/eur/usd

Azimo has a 8.1/10 Monito Score which makes it a *Great* service according to our Money Transfer Review methodology https://www.monito.com/en/send-money-with/azimo This is based in part on their 40'000+ "Excellent" and "Great" customer reviews on TrustPilot.

Based on the information you shared on Azimo's review, it looks like you're describing a payment that went through regulatory checks. As a regulated financial institution, Azimo is sometimes required at times to carry extra checks on a transfer and ask for additional information. This is the case for any money transfer service or banks, but we understand that this might be a frustrating experience.

All the best,
François at Monito

I always use Monito for checking the rates

I always use Monito for checking the best money transfer service at the moment (the rates & fees change rapidly so best to keep an eye on them)

They have a very friendly and clear design and most of the providers - that's all what I need :)

Was looking at Pay Pal until I chanced upon Monito's comparison site, which is a work of genius saving a lot of hassle. Also, these alternative providers as dissected by Monito allow you to make a direct transfer from your bank or by debit card without the need for the recipient to set up PayPal. They are much cheaper than high street banks and have clear as crystal formats if you are a newbie at transferring money abroad. Thanks to Monito, I chose Transferwise Ltd whose website is easy to navigate and whose communication and updates are first class. Well done Monito for saving me a large amount of time by doing all the leg work.

Monito - money transfer without worries!

I have recently moved from the US to a European country, and was looking for a quick, reliable and cheap way to transfer my remaining USD to my new country. Monito quickly gave me a list of options, with detailed estimates of duration/fees related to my transfer for each potential service provider. Then, within a matter of minutes, my transfer was underway! I strongly recommend the ease of use, the clarity and the speed provided by Monito to help me navigate through the world of money transfers. Thanks again!
