- Support runs on email, phone and chat, so email, chat and a phone line are all listed
Cons

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to send money with SentBe?+
SentBe describes its charges as Up to 95% lower fees than traditional banking service fees. That is a comparison with traditional banking service fees rather than a set amount, so check the fee for your own transfer before you confirm.
How long does a SentBe transfer take?+
Delivery is quoted as 5 minutes to 24 hours (business day). Anything landing on the business day end of that range happens after a working day, so send early if the money is needed on a fixed date.
How can the person receiving the money get paid?+
Payouts are available as bank, cash pickup and card, so the recipient does not have to hold a bank account. Choose the route that suits them: a bank deposit, a card, a wallet or collecting cash from a pickup point.
Does the recipient need a bank account to be paid?+
A bank account is not required, because bank, cash pickup and card includes a cash pickup point alongside bank, card and wallet payouts. That suits a recipient in a place where opening an account is slow or awkward.
Who runs SentBe and where is it based?+
The service runs under (주)센트비 (SentBe Co., Ltd.), based in South Korea, and it was founded in 2016. It is a single market service, so transfers are set up for sending from South Korea rather than a long list of origins.
Can I reach someone if a transfer goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and chat, so there is a way to reach a person as well as send a message. Keep the transfer reference from your confirmation screen handy when you contact them.
What exchange rate does SentBe use?+
SentBe's published claim is about fees, Up to 95% lower fees than traditional banking service fees. An exchange rate markup is not part of that claim, so compare the rate quoted for your own transfer against the mid market rate before you confirm.
