Hey! Sent money to a family member last month, thinking it would be instant like usual, but instead, the transfer got stuck in review. I checked everything—recipient details, payment info—everything was correct. After a bit of waiting, I contacted
western union customer service, and they said some transactions go through extra verification, especially if it’s a new recipient or a larger amount. A few hours later, the funds finally cleared. I’ve noticed that sending smaller amounts first sometimes helps avoid delays when wiring money internationally.
