Not acceptedHalocard is not accepted

Halocard is not accepted at Remitly. Remitly is charged under the money transfers category, which Visa classifies as high-risk, so Halocard declines payments to it on every card. This is a Halocard rule, not a Remitly rule. Remitly accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover debit and credit cards, prepaid cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank account payments by ACH. Some card issuers treat a credit card payment to Remitly as a cash advance, with extra fees and interest, so a bank account or debit card usually costs less.

Why Halocard cannot be used at Remitly

Remitly is charged under the money transfers category, which Visa classifies as high-risk, so Halocard declines payments to it on every card. This is a Halocard rule, not a Remitly rule.

What you can do instead

AcceptedHave the full transfer amount plus the Remitly service fee available, because payment is due when you submit the transfer.
