Consumer complaint received 2023-05-20
Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: FL
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Foreign currency exchange
Issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I transferred money from my XXXX  to my Wise account. XXXX  claims the money was transferred and received. Wise claims the transfer was canceled. But my money was not returned to XXXX if canceled, and Wise has not credited the transfer to the account. XXXX  claims no mistakes were made on their part. That leaves Wise receiving my funds and not crediting them to my account. 

Wise required proof of payment from XXXX. I submitted my XXXX XXXX statement. This was not acceptable proof. This information from XXXX should serve as proof. My complaint to CFPB against XXXX. They have cleared their end of this transaction. This still leaves me missing my funds which Wise claims was cancelled and never deposited. See CFPB Complaint : COMPLAINT ID XXXX SUBMITTED ON XXXX PRODUCT Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service ISSUE Other transaction problem Response from XXXX  Bank Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Based on what you've told us, it seems that you were expecting a withdrawal from your XXXX account to be deposited into a personal external account, but you haven't received the funds yet. Our investigation shows that you opened an account with us on XXXX. On XXXX you contacted our customer support via mobile chat about a withdrawal of {$1800.00}, and our support agent informed you that it was debited from your account on XX/XX/. On XX/XX/, you reached out to our support team again via mobile chat and reported that you transferred money to your Wise account, but the funds never arrived. Our agent filed an ACH dispute on your behalf that same day, and the dispute information was forwarded to our ACH dispute agents for investigation. On XXXX you forwarded an email from Wise to our customer support, stating that your transfer of {$1800.00} USD to EUR had been canceled and the funds were not received. Our support agent provided you with your XXXX account statement, and our dispute team concluded their investigation, finding no error and informing you of this outcome on the same day. We provided you with the following information in our decision : XXXX XXXX ; Billing name and address match. Prior history with recipient. No ACH returns ; the XXXX number shows that funds were successfully deposited into the receiving account. Unfortunately, we are unable to issue a credit to you as a result of our investigation. Upon receiving your complaint, we reviewed your deposit settlement issue and confirmed with our partner bank that the funds were successfully deposited into the account you selected when you initiated the withdrawal. On XXXX our compliance agent provided proof of payment for the disputed transaction via email. We also received documents from you showing that a {$1800.00} USD to EUR transaction was canceled, but there is a discrepancy in the amount compared to the disputed transaction. We do not have evidence of an additional transaction in this amount debited from your account. Therefore, our decision of no error found remains the same. If you have new evidence to support your claim as it relates to a transaction for {$1800.00}, please submit it to our customer support for further review. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at XXXX customer support. 


Wise has not accepted any documentation as proof of payment. XXXX clearly states they paid the transfer. Wise clearly states they never received it and it was cancelled. I have not received this transfer. Wise has the proof it needs from XXXX, their investigation needs to find my transfer. These two banks have created the best scheme to take your money and hide, then claim no responsibility for the missing funds.
