Summary

Recent reviews from the last 90 days (assuming all reviews are within this timeframe as no dates were provided): Users express frustration with frequent app updates that haven't resolved core issues. Lack of Apple Pay integration remains a significant complaint, alongside difficulties accessing and managing accounts (both within the app and online banking). Bugs like login errors and missing features (sending/depositing money) are also causing negative experiences.

Pros:

  • - Some users find the app easy to use (older review).

Cons:

  • - Lack of Apple Pay integration.
  • - Frequent, disruptive app updates that don't fix core problems.
  • - Login errors and inability to access accounts.
  • - Missing features like sending/depositing money (removed in an update).
  • - Inability to manage saved payees within the app (requires online banking access, which some users report is broken).
  • - Limited bank options for Payshap requests.
  • - Difficulty reaching customer service for technical issues.
  • - Account verification issues (OTP sent to outdated number).
  • - Double deduction for airtime purchases with no airtime received.
  • - Inability to view both savings and business accounts on iOS devices.
  • - Arbitrary limit on goal save amounts.
