I am very satisfied with smooth and trustworthy experience with Skydo. Initially I had lot of questions but very satisfactory support from the Skydo agent Dipanshu.

It's transperant and quick.

Highly recommend.

I initially had problems with respect to verifying the payment. But the customer care team helped me throughout & processed the payment even though it was festive season.

The personal attention was very valuable to me.

Their currency exchange rate conversion is very accurate, they don't try to steal from you like other payment processors.

Love the insta link feature!

Great service for freelancers looking to keep more of what they make.

Using skydo was great. The interface is clean, and the customer support is exceptional
Would definitely recommend for cross border payments

Just received my first payment using Skydo. Everything from the interface to the customer assistance available was truly wonderful.

The platform was smooth, kept me updated on the process through emails, and helped me save a lot through no hidden charges and fees. I hope it continues to support users the same way!

I had a great experience using Skydo for international payments! 🌍
The entire process was smooth, fast, and completely transparent. Their platform makes cross-border transactions effortless — no hidden charges, clear exchange rates, and quick transfers. The interface is easy to navigate, and their support team is responsive and professional.

Truly one of the best international payment platforms I’ve used — reliable, efficient, and hassle-free. Highly recommended!

The ease of use and the support along with it. I want to specially mention Akhilesh for being proactive and helping us in hour of need.

I had multiple fabulous experiences with Skydo. Timely payments, prompt responses, Prior notice of bank holidays etc. from Pradeep, Swadha to mention. Best experience is quick turn around of query from bank I was looking to secure loan from. I got the query from bank late in the day. I tried to search the FAQ's but did not get exact response. Called up Support and got connected to Swadha and resolved my query. I requested the same over an email for my bank's reference. I raised same query by emailing Support address as guided by her. I panicked after I saw that the standard SLA to respond was a day. But Swadha ensured that I got a written email response in short span of time and able to forward it to my bank with the working hours.

My experience was smooth and seamless, thanks to my account manager, Aastha. She guided me through the setup and ensured I received my first payment without delays. I truly appreciate the professionalism and customer support, and would gladly recommend their services.

I am new to the Skydo platform. Have processed one trial transaction and one invoice in GBP. I must say the experience is good and communication was excellent. I got regular updates through WhatsApp, email and call at the time of invoice clearance. I was earlier using Wise for international payments, the pain point was the transaction fee which Skydo addressed. Transparency is great with Skydo. Only suggestion that I have to Skydo is to release the mobile app.

Serious Concerns Regarding Skydo Experience 

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the recent experience I’ve had with your customer support and so called your "compliance team"
When I initially signed up with Skydo, I was impressed by the courteous and enthusiastic communication—especially the eagerness shown around the timing of my first transaction. However, this positive impression quickly deteriorated once the documentation was completed and the first payment was initiated.
Following that, I received a call from your Compliance team filled with irrelevant and intrusive questions about my business operations like how do you get your clients? Could you share any link how your clients contact you? Do you offer phone support, remote support? How many people work in your team, do you have a business set up or you work from home? These inquiries were not only inappropriate for a payment gateway provider, but they were also conducted over the phone, which is highly unprofessional. If you had legitimate concerns, they should have been addressed formally via email.
Moreover, the conduct of your team was far from acceptable. It appeared that the individuals I spoke with lacked basic client communication skills which made the interaction even more frustrating. Based on this questionable exchange, my account was abruptly closed and the payment reversed—without any proper explanation or due process. Then I had made numerous phone calls to their customer support and 4 emails to get a response. They don’t bother.
This experience has left me extremely dissatisfied and concerned about the reliability and professionalism of your services. I urge you to review your internal processes and the behavior of your support staff. If this is representative of how you treat your clients post-onboarding, it raises serious questions about your commitment to customer service. To make matters worse, your team called me from random phone numbers and asked for sensitive and confidential information. How am I supposed to verify if the caller is genuinely from Skydo or someone pretending to be? This raises serious concerns about the reliability and security of your processes. I highly doubt the reliability of your way of conduct and request that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) keep a close watch on your operations to ensure you are following the correct guidelines

⚠️ Beware of Skydo App Scam ⚠️

Trying to save a few dollars on transfers through Skydo can cost you $1000+!

Here’s how they trap you:
1️⃣ First 1–2 payments go through smoothly.
2️⃣ Then they demand unnecessary documents — passport of the sender, IDs, etc.
3️⃣ Even if you submit, they’ll keep asking for more.
4️⃣ Your money stays on hold.
5️⃣ In the end, they tell your sender to charge back because they “can’t refund.”

🚫 Don’t risk your money or documents. Stay away from Skydo.

First and foremost, they are compliant with the RBI guidelines. I have found plenty forex companies that can help with inward remittance, but from my research no one can go beyond Skydo.
Here's a proof of how compliant they are: on the date of experience, I received an invoice payment from a different Payee than the Client name. Skydo had to withhold my funds for compliance checks. The sooner I provided the necessary documents to match the Payee and how they are related to the Client, my funds were released and processed for settlement within 24 hours.

On top of this, I have used other forex firms (mostly foreign based firms), they don't care about being compliant be it with the funds received or the purpose codes required. All they care about is settle the funds in 24 working hours that is all, leaving you at risk. And some even charge you for the FIRA/FIRC that should be offered for free of cost.

With Skydo, I found my solution to all my freelancing-related inward remittances. I have the funds converted to INR in 24 hours, fully-compliant to RBI guidelines (giving me peace of mind!), and of course a free copy of FIRC emailed to me upon settlement in my Indian bank account. And all of that at a price that is affordable and clear from the moment I send my clients an invoice.

Another feature that I found appealing about Skydo is its invoicing system. I can create an invoice and send it across to my clients without having to leave the platform. And once the funds are received, the platform notifies both myself and the client as well. Further even thanking the client on behalf of myself. I never found this kind of a feature within any other platform, no matter how big they are.

In simple words, please choose Skydo if you are a freelancer or business in need of a platform that can process international payments in accordance with RBI regulations. You won't waste your time, money, or won't even have to visit your bank to change your inward remittance purpose codes. Everything will be sorted out from the time you are being onboarded.

All 4 stars for 5 stars are fake. All the employees i think they have lots of free time creating accounts and no use of it.
First these types of merchants depends on third party payments don't know anything how its work's dont go for it you will loose your customers.

Avoid Skydo – Unreliable, Lacking Transparency, and Potentially Non-Compliant
If you’re a business dealing with international clients, I strongly recommend avoiding Skydo for cross-border payments. Despite its modern interface and promises, Skydo holds funds for days — even weeks — under the vague excuse of “RBI Guidelines” and “compliance checks.”

RBI Guidelines Are Clear: Funds Must Be Settled Within 24 Hours
Under RBI regulations governing Online Payment Gateway Service Providers (OPGSPs) — a framework applicable to services like PayPal, Payoneer, and likely Skydo:

“The amount received by the OPGSP from the overseas buyer shall be credited to the exporter’s bank account in India within 24 hours.”
— RBI Circular: A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 17 (2010), reaffirmed in DPSS.CO.PD.No.1164/02.14.006/2019-20

This is precisely why PayPal and Payoneer do not hold your funds. For example:

PayPal explicitly states:
“As per RBI guidelines, PayPal cannot hold balances for Indian users. All payments are auto-withdrawn to your bank account within 24 hours.”

Skydo, on the other hand, routinely violates this standard by withholding payments well beyond the permitted window — often without providing any specific regulatory reference or legal documentation.

A Pattern of Delays, Blocked Accounts and Lack of Clarity
Real user reports tell the full story:

Reddit and Trustpilot are full of complaints about frozen funds, sudden account closures, and refund delays stretching over weeks or even months.

A Change.org petition accuses Skydo of breaching RBI mandates, the Consumer Protection Act, and FEMA, demanding regulatory action.

This is not just poor service — it borders on regulatory non-compliance.

Safer Alternatives Exist
Instead of risking your revenue with Skydo, consider trusted, RBI-compliant solutions:

PayPal – Proven, compliant, and fast

Payoneer – RBI-licensed and transparent

Direct Bank Wire Transfers – Regulated, traceable, and controlled

Final Word
Skydo is not ready for serious cross-border commerce. Until it aligns transparently with RBI settlement norms and adopts responsible fund-handling practices, it poses a risk to your business’s cash flow and trust.

Don’t let your money get stuck in “compliance limbo.” Choose platforms that respect both regulations and their users.

Lower fees.
Good assistance with prompt response and resolution.
I would recommend.

If you're a software engineer or a designer skydo.com is the platform you should use for your international clients.

Smooth onboarding. Helpful relationship manager. And timely payments.

Just make sure you clarify everything about your business/operations to avoid issues like "account on hold".

Easiest way of getting money from abroad from multiple country and great customer service

Skydo stand on their promise. Really impressive service, earlier I was paying much more charges for my hard work, now it way too less. Mr. Pradeep P helped to get me trust on Skydo, now I am fan of Skydo. Great job Pradeep, and team Skydo. 100% recommended.
