Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overall OK. But recently, I have been noticing a delay in the transfer of money to the destination account. Which makes me go to other parties like XOOM, where the money gets transferred immediately.

Pretty quick and efficient

Pretty quick and efficient. But having to repeatedly click on source and use of funds every single time is silly and a timewaste.

Payment Methods Window shows no way to complete transaction

What I liked was that the transfer -- on the fourth try -- was created.
What I DIDN'T LIKE is that after I set the amount & payment method, then clicked "continue" .. I got a screen called Payment Method which offered me a chance to change my payment (which I did not want to do) ...and then showed NO WAY TO CONTINUE.
I contacted Chat Help, the agent kept telling me to send a screen shot, I kept pointing out that if I made another attempt to set up the transfer to get back to that Payment Methods page, the chat window would probably disappear.
Sure enough, that's what happened. But somehow at the same time I was desperately trying to get back to the Chat Window, I FINALLY got a screen telling me the transfer has been created.

You need to redesign that Paymenet Methods window.
