Why Remitly Restricts Virtual & VoIP Phone Numbers
Remitly enforces strict sender verification to protect cross-border remittances. Remitly utilizes telecom validation services to detect whether an applicant is using a legitimate mobile phone line or a virtual VoIP number. If a VoIP line is detected, Remitly cancels the transaction and requests alternate proof of identity. USAVerify Pro provides real physical SIM lines that satisfy Remitly's carrier verification rules.
