Frequently asked questions
Is Azimo still operating?
The consumer Azimo product was wound down after the Papaya Global acquisition in 2022. Existing customers were given migration paths. For new transfers, consider Wise, WorldRemit, or Remitly.
Did Azimo use SWIFT?
For some bank-deposit corridors and large transfers, yes. Most consumer transfers used local rails or mobile wallets.
Can I still track an old Azimo transfer?
Contact Papaya Global support with your Azimo reference. If SWIFT-routed and you can get the UETR, Ohmyfin can show the status (though for a years-old transfer, the SWIFT cache will likely have expired).
Who bought Azimo?
Papaya Global — a B2B global payroll and contractor-payments platform. They wanted Azimo's payment-out infrastructure for their payroll product, not the consumer business.
What's the best Azimo alternative?
Wise (best overall), WorldRemit / Remitly (for diaspora corridors), Western Union / MoneyGram (for cash pickup).
Was Azimo cheaper than banks?
Yes — typically 60-80% cheaper than a bank SWIFT wire for the corridors Azimo covered.
Did Azimo offer cash pickup?
Yes in many corridors via partner agents (Bancomer, Cebuana, etc.).
How long did Azimo transfers take?
Minutes for mobile wallets; same-day for many bank deposits; 1-3 business days for SWIFT-routed.
Can I get a refund on an unfulfilled Azimo transfer?
Contact Papaya Global support — refunds for transfers that didn't complete should still be processed by the successor entity.
