Step 1: Fix the common causes
WorldRemit's help pages say most problems come from a few things:
- Wrong recipient details.
- Documents or information WorldRemit asked for.
- A transfer still inside the time shown in the "on its way" email.
- A payment that needs approval with your provider.

Step 2: Contact WorldRemit
WorldRemit says customer care is available 24/7 online and in the app. Its contact page also lists phone numbers by country and the phone support hours, so check that page for your country. Have your transfer number or case number ready, and do not send card details.

WorldRemit's account help page says where to take a complaint:
- UK customers: the Financial Ombudsman Service.
