Fast, simple, works for all purchases

Using wevat to get a refund for all my purchases made on a recent trip to England was remarkably simple. I just saved receipts from all my major purchases that has a VAT (no need to get any form from stores or anything). Then entered them all into the app towards the end of my trip. Then thy generate a form for you that you turn in at the airport and WeVat will TransferWise you your refund. Not that I need more excuses to shop, but with the Vat tax at 20 percent it’s sort of like shopping everything on sale!

Thank you for your review! Very glad that you found our service simple and easy. There’s still a lot we want to improve, so next time you visit it’ll be even easier :)

Excellent customer service throughout tax refund process

1) Seamless in-app customer support throughout the tax refund process. Extremely responsive whenever you highlight an issue / roadblock
2) Fees seemed steep at first glance but was actually slightly under competitors (e.g. Travelex) and I probably picked it up since it was pretty transparently disclosed in the customs refund form

Thank you for the feedback! We are working on making our fee even more transparent, as well as adding a comparison to competitors. Hope you use our app again next time you visit! 😊

Recommend

Am very skeptical in apps like this but decided to give it a try for my recent trip to UK all I did was keep the receipts of all my purchase and upload it on the app and they put me through on the next thing to do and the rest is history. Is stress free guys give it a try.

Thank you for the review and trying out our service! Hope you had a pleasant stay in the UK and will use us again in the future 😄
