What the CFPB Record Shows for Money transfers

4,811 consumer complaints have been filed with the CFPB under the "Money transfers" product category, naming 132 distinct companies as the respondent. Product-level complaint counts are one of the most direct signals of where consumer friction is concentrated in the U.S. financial system — the CFPB routes each filing to the specific regulatory framework that governs its product class, so the volume here reflects real intake into federal and state consumer-protection channels, not casual survey sentiment.

Within Money transfers, the single most common underlying consumer complaint is "Fraud or scam". Issue concentration inside a product category is often more diagnostic than headline volume: when one issue dominates filings, it usually points to a recurring servicing, billing, reporting, or collection pattern that touches many providers at once. The table above ranks individual companies by filing volume within this product line and includes their timely-response rate and the share of cases closed with relief — two operational metrics that help separate firms handling complaint intake smoothly from those where resolutions stall or get disputed.

Complaint volume scales with market share — the largest issuers and servicers in a category will naturally generate more filings than smaller peers even at identical complaint rates per customer. A complaint on record is a consumer allegation, not a proven violation, and a company's presence here does not imply it broke any law. Use this page to understand the contour of consumer concerns around Money transfers, then drill into specific companies and cross-check against the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database.
