Transaction failed to be delivered

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Cancel the failed transaction and refund to my bank account.
  • - Payment was sent to Hanniler Del Rio's BDO account.

I need for you, Sendwave, to cancel the failed transaction and refund my money. I sent it to Hanniler Del Rio to her BDO account last April 28, 2026.

I answered your requirement. I have called Hanniler; she did not receive any communication from you. I have no control over that. I just want my money back.

Don't give me a hard time. This is turning out to be a very bad experience.

Cancel the transaction if you cannot deliver. Refund my money to my bank account.

Preferred solution: Full refund

I sent the money to the Philippines on 4/26 up to now still processing and I paid 2.95 for this

I sent the money on 4/26 to the Philippines for $102 and up to now, it is still processing. This is the first time that this has happened to me. Before, there was no fee to transfer; now there is a fee for transfer, and now the service sucks.

Pros:
  • Before it was good no transfer fee
Cons:
  • There is transfer fee now but service is lowsy

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

I have money at “my wallet”. I am...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - They want to know why the bank reimbursed Sendwave funds.
  • - $198 remains in the wallet.
  • - If reimbursed, they don't need to add funds to the wallet.

I have money in my wallet. I am wondering why my bank reimbursed the amount I sent to the recipient through Sendwave.

If that is the case, then I don't need to put money in my wallet from now on. I have $198 intact. Let me know what is happening.

Thank you!

AI Highlights
  • - I sent money from my bank to Queen Christopher by mistake instead of from my Sendwave wallet.
  • - I requested a refund and haven't received it.

I accidentally sent money to Queen Christopher from my bank account. It was supposed to come from my Sendwave wallet.

I requested a refund from my wallet to go to my bank.

I have not received it yet. That's why you only got one star.

Loss:
$800
Pros:
  • Easy access
Cons:
  • It takes too long for the beneficiary to receive or it takes too long to get your refund back

Preferred solution: Full refund

To make sure Nyaguthie is paid the 30,000/-.

I sent money to the same person l wanted to send to but the name l used is wrong. The lady uses Friday Nyaguthie Kibocho and that is why she could not be given the money.

I sent it to Kenya.

Please release the 30,000 Khs to her urgently. Thank you to

Wave is now a scam

Sendwave - Wave is now a scam
Updated by user Oct 22, 2025

They sent me an email that they have canceled the transaction and that money will be returned to me. I never received it. At least after 11 days no refund received.

Original review Oct 07, 2025
Wave promises better rates if you send from their wallet, but its a scam. I transferred $500 into the wallet and after a week the money still wasnt there.

The transfer is stuck as pending and I cant cancel it.
I also used my debit card to send $200 to someone, but the recipient was blocked from collecting because local partner demanded details about their last transaction which they couldnt remember since they hadnt received money in a long time. The money was never delivered, and no refund was issued.
In total, I lost $700 through Wave scam
To make things worse, their support services dont exist:
Phone support: doesnt work.
Chat support: useless; they said processing and then closed the chat with no resolution.
Email support: all emails bounce back as undeliverable.
This company takes your money, fails to deliver, and provides no way to get help. Worst experience ever.

If they are not a scam, they will reach out to resolve and I will update this review. If this is here, then they are still a scam.
Loss:
$700
Pros:
  • Convient in app transfer
Cons:
  • I lost my money and no support

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Avoid wave
