PayPal
What happened to the PayPal option? I downloaded the app with that intention to use PayPal. It’s not there
Verification pending for over 3 weeks
I recently came across this app and It seemed like the perfect app but ever since I have downloaded the app I haven’t been able to actually use it for anything because the verification process has been pending for over 3 weeks now, it says in the app that it can take up to 48 hours.., seems like a great app but not a great experience for me so far, can someone on the back end check the verification and get it approved as soon as possible please,I’ve been waiting for over 3 weeks now…
Poor implementation if any.
Tried tirelessly to submit KYC, kept sending unable to register. If this happens when only trying to onboard, can only imagine what thereafter. Almost appears “ lazy” in keeping app up to date and sharp functionality.
Service
The service is so easy and fast you don’t even have to wait for days for your money to reflect in your account after withdrawing from PayPal
Paypal service
I cannot use the paypal service it keeps telling me to update but my app is updated…please fix this
Abela App
It’s very much convenient to send and receive money, and easy to use. The settings are placed in a manner that is extremely easy to navigate. Top notch customer service support
Useless without PayPal
This app is useless without the PayPal withdrawal. Last year they said it would be fixed in 2 weeks and we are 4 months into 2023
