Résumé

The overall sentiment for the Carbon app is overwhelmingly negative, primarily driven by accusations that the app charges a non-refundable N500 application fee while consistently denying loan requests. While a minority of long-term users still praise the app's interface and savings features, recent feedback is dominated by reports of "scam-like" behavior, frozen funds, and non-existent customer support.

Pour :

  • Regarded by some long-term users as a good platform for savings and auto-savings plans.
  • The interface is considered user-friendly and convenient for everyday transactions by those who can access it.
  • A few users report consistent reliability ("always deliver") regarding general banking functions.

Cons :

  • Widespread complaints about a non-refundable N500 fee charged for loan applications that are immediately rejected.
  • extremely poor customer service, characterized by an unhelpful bot ("Aisha"), no phone support, and email response times taking up to 3 weeks.
  • Critical technical issues including login loops, invalid OTP errors, and "try again later" messages blocking access.
  • Users report funds being frozen or accounts restricted without explanation or a way to resolve it quickly.
  • Difficulty with KYC processes, specifically address verification failures and inability to update details or delete personal data (BVN/NIN).
  • Restrictive transaction limits (e.g., 1000 naira transfer limit) and unexpected account tier downgrades.

Vous avez des questions ? Nous avons les réponses.

Divulgation des affiliations Au lieu de bannières publicitaires et de murs payants, Neobanque gagne de l'argent grâce à des liens d'affiliation vers les différents fournisseurs de services de paiement présentés sur notre site Web. Bien que nous nous efforcions de rechercher les meilleures offres sur le marché, nous ne sommes pas en mesure de prendre en compte tous les produits disponibles. Notre large éventail de partenaires affiliés de confiance nous permet de formuler des recommandations détaillées, impartiales et axées sur les solutions pour tous les types de questions et de problèmes des consommateurs. Cela nous permet de mettre en relation nos utilisateurs avec les fournisseurs qui répondent à leurs besoins et, ce faisant, de mettre en relation nos fournisseurs avec de nouveaux clients, créant ainsi une situation gagnant-gagnant pour toutes les parties impliquées. Cependant, bien que certains liens sur Neobanque.ch puissent nous rapporter une commission, ce fait n'a jamais d'incidence sur l'indépendance et l'intégrité de nos opinions, recommandations et évaluations.
