Azimo review

Fees run First two transfers free, then from GBP 0.59 per transfer. The same scale applies across the 80 currencies Azimo covers, so the amount you send matters more than the route. Payout to a bank account and cash pickup both sit under that fee.

Delivery is instant in some cases, and most recipients receive the money within an hour to a working day. That suits recurring transfers where someone is waiting on the funds. Support runs through email, chat and phone if a transfer takes longer than expected.

Payout runs to bank and cash pickup, so the recipient can take it into a bank account or collect it in cash. Cash pickup suits recipients who cannot open a bank account in the receiving country, while a bank account is quicker for most people.

Azimo covers 80 currencies, well above the median of 5 for money transfer services. That range helps people who send to several countries from the same account, and the fee scale stays the same across the routes offered.

Azimo runs as Azimo B.V., a company founded 2012 and based in the Netherlands. The legal entity is the name shown on your transfer terms, so it is worth matching against the sender details before you move a large sum.
