Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 45 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their funds being held or delayed, with some payments stuck for extended periods without clear communication. Reviewers frequently criticized the customer service, describing it as unresponsive, unhelpful, and difficult to reach, often providing generic answers or changing representatives. The refund process was also a major point of dissatisfaction, with many struggling to receive their money back even after providing requested documentation.

A few other people also felt that the payment processing was faster than before and appreciated the dedication of specific customer care agents.

Serious Privacy & Verification…

Serious Privacy & Verification Overreach

I initially thought this was a good fintech app because of the fast payouts and decent exchange rates. On the surface, everything looks efficient, especially if you’re receiving funds from platforms like Upwork, where money gets deposited almost immediately.

However, my experience trying to open a USD / EUR / GBP account revealed a very serious problem that I believe people need to be aware of.

To request a foreign currency account, I was required to:
• Declare my monthly earnings
• Upload an employment letter
• Select a fixed occupation with no “Other” option, forcing users into narrow categories

This goes far beyond standard KYC.

KYC is meant to verify identity (ID, face verification, address).
What this platform is doing is effectively asking for employment history and proof of income, without clearly stating why this is required or how such highly sensitive documents are protected.

I find it extremely inappropriate — and frankly alarming — that I must upload an employment letter just to open a virtual receiving account. I am not applying for a loan, credit, or business financing. I am simply requesting a foreign currency account.

What makes this worse:
• Customer support kept asking for screenshots, which I provided clearly
• The screenshots were then not referenced at all
• I was repeatedly redirected without any real explanation or resolution
• No one could clearly justify why these documents were mandatory

The process feels opaque, rigid, and dismissive of user privacy concerns.

Many users may overlook this because the app works after you comply — but that doesn’t make the requirement acceptable. Not everyone is comfortable uploading employment letters or disclosing income details to a fintech platform with unclear data-handling policies.

This is not just inconvenient; it’s a trust issue.

I’ve decided not to proceed and will be closing my account. I strongly advise anyone considering this platform to think carefully about the level of personal and professional information you’re being asked to hand over — especially for something as basic as a virtual foreign account.

Good exchange rates do not justify excessive data collection.

Hi Gloria,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your honesty.

We understand how the additional verification requirements, particularly around employment and income details, can feel intrusive and raise valid privacy concerns. Your perspective is completely understandable, and we acknowledge that the context and reasoning behind these requests were not communicated as clearly as they should have been.

To provide clarity, most of the information requested during the setup of foreign currency accounts is required by our licensed banking partners as part of regulatory, anti money laundering, and fraud prevention obligations. These checks are specific to issuing and maintaining USD, EUR, and GBP accounts and go beyond basic identity verification.

We take data protection and privacy very seriously, and all information shared is securely handled in line with strict regulatory and security standards enforced by both Raenest and our banking partners.

If you’re open to reconsidering, we would be glad to personally review your case, walk you through the requirements in detail, and ensure a smoother onboarding experience. You can reach out to us directly via support@raenest.com or share your Raenest tag so we can assist you promptly and transparently.

Thank you again for sharing this feedback.

Geegpay is unreliable

Geegpay is not just unreliable — they’re shady. I received a legitimate payment, and instead of crediting it, they froze my funds and demanded documents I promptly provided. After that? Silence. No support, no updates — just my money stuck in limbo. This feels like a calculated scam targeting freelancers. Geegpay has no integrity. Avoid them like the plague.

Hi Vic Tor,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in response and for the inconvenience this has caused. After carefully reviewing your case, we can confirm that the payment in question was not received at our end, which is most likely linked to the downtime experienced by Nigeria’s Central Switch (NIBSS) on 19 September.

Please contact your bank to confirm the status of the transaction and request a reversal since the funds did not reach our position.

We have also communicated these details to you via the in-app channel you initially reached out through, so you can find the same update there.

Thank you!

Request for account number

Using Geepay I had to wait patiently for 2 days to verify my UK account request afterwards denied and had to wait two more days just to request for another. That's quite annoying. No sense of urgency

Hello There,

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and the concerns raised. Please be assured that Geegpay does not withhold or misuse customer funds.

We completely understand the urgency of situations like this, and our team is available to assist you promptly once the correct documentation is provided. Kindly resend the complete payment receipt to support@geegpay.africa, and we will ensure this is resolved as quickly as possible.

When I was recommended to use geegpay

When I was recommended to use geegpay, i thought it's a good platform and everything is going well for the first month until the second month they hold my money saying it's under review even after providing everything they asked for. That's how they keep my $1473 July and August 2025 payment, i regret trusting them.

Virtual dollar card seem impossible to create, funds held indefinitely with no communication even on live chat; they just blanked out - estimated resolution time expired, no response, no feedback even through email- 24hrs and still running. Money held hostage. Terrible experience

Update : It took almost two weeks to have all issues with card and payment resolved. Customer care can do much better but yes! Card works and service is ok.
