I am surprised at these revelations.
It appears that most of the problems relate to remittances to third world countries.
I never had problem with remittances not arriving. However I had problem with providing sufficient identification information as it seems to vary from country to country. Researching and obtaining these details were a pain and utter waste of time.
Whatever it may be, blockchain technology would make it a thing of the past.
