Using the Pangea Money Transfer mobile app is always fast and easy, but we work hard to make sure it’s safe and secure, too! That’s why we offer a secure login and verify your phone number immediately after creating an account for added protection. We also monitor your money transfer transactions 24/7.

You can also help Pangea protect you by being aware of safe money sending practices and sharing that information with your friends and family. To ensure you’re not the target of online scams, keep in mind these quick tips.

Remember:

• Before sending money in an emergency, confirm that the situation is real.
• Never send money to someone you haven’t met in person!

Do NOT send money to an individual if you are sending it:

• For an internet purchase
• For a rental property
• For an employment opportunity
• For a credit card or loan fee
• To someone you met online
• To claim lottery or prize winnings
• To pay someone who claims to be a computer technician

We’re always here to help. If you have any questions, or if anything seems suspicious, check out our Support Center or call us at +1 866-858-9928.
