About Xoom

Xoom is an international digital money transfer service that enables individuals to send funds to family and friends abroad, pay utility and other bills in foreign countries, and reload mobile phones in supported markets. Accessible via web and mobile apps, Xoom offers bank deposits, cash pickup, and, in some locations, home delivery of funds. Xoom is operated as a PayPal service and focuses on fast cross-border remittances with transparent fees and exchange rates.

A charge from “Xoom.com” on your card or bank statement typically means you initiated (or someone with access to your account initiated) a money transfer, bill payment, or mobile reload through Xoom. Charges may include the transfer principal amount plus Xoom’s service fee, and in some cases there may be small variations due to exchange rate finalization. You might also see multiple charges if you sent more than one transfer or if an initial attempt failed and was retried.

If you don’t recognize a Xoom charge, first log into your Xoom or PayPal account (if linked) and review your transaction history and email confirmations for the same date and amount. Check with family members who might have used your payment method to send money. For unresolved questions, contact Xoom customer support via their help center or phone support listed on their website, providing the exact date, amount, and last four digits of the card used. You can also contact your card issuer or bank to dispute unauthorized transactions after attempting to resolve it with Xoom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Xoom.com on my card statement?

A Xoom.com charge usually indicates you sent money, paid a bill abroad, or did a mobile reload using Xoom. The charge typically includes the transfer amount plus any applicable Xoom service fees.

What amounts are Xoom charges typically for?

Xoom charges vary depending on the amount you sent and the fee for your chosen funding method and destination. For example, you might see a charge like $105.99 (a $100 transfer plus a $5.99 fee). Fee structures and limits are displayed at checkout before you confirm a transfer.

How can I view details of the Xoom transaction that appears on my statement?

Log into your Xoom account at xoom.com or via the Xoom app, go to your Activity or Transactions section, and match the date and amount to your statement. You’ll see the recipient, payout method, fees, and exchange rate for each transfer.

How do I cancel a Xoom transfer and get a refund?

You can cancel a transfer online from your Xoom account as long as it has not yet been paid out or deposited. Go to your transaction details and select the cancel option, or contact Xoom customer support immediately. If eligible, the principal and fees are typically refunded to your original payment method.

Why was my card charged by Xoom even though the transfer shows as failed or canceled?

In some cases Xoom may place an authorization hold on your card or bank account when you initiate a transfer. If the transfer fails or is canceled, the hold is usually released within a few business days. If a completed charge remains after that time, contact Xoom support and your bank with the transaction reference number.

How can I contact Xoom about an unrecognized or incorrect charge?

Visit xoom.com and go to the Help or Contact section to find phone numbers and support options for your country. Have your full name, the last four digits of your card, charge amount, and date ready so support can quickly locate your transaction.

Can someone else use my card on their Xoom account?

Yes, if someone has your card details, they could attempt to fund a Xoom transaction. If you see a charge you don’t recognize and it doesn’t appear in your own Xoom account, contact Xoom support and your card issuer immediately to report suspected fraud and request a card replacement if needed.

Does Xoom charge any recurring or subscription fees?

No, Xoom does not charge a recurring subscription fee. You are only charged when you initiate a transaction, and each transfer clearly shows the fee and exchange rate before you confirm.
