Each time I log in it first runs real time updates, this is annoying and such an inconvenience -- Rubisto, 2024-12-14 ### *---- "Good for start" The rewards is good for the first 3 months, thereafter they increase the level you should spend before getting rewards. The future they say? It doesn’t even allow integration with a AI accounting package. The interest rate receivable is lower than a specific bank’s interest in general. If you achieve full points on their vitality rewards you are about level and sometimes still below the interest rate receivable. Furthermore I was charged interest one month on my credit card even though I paid the full statement amount before end of the month. The budget feature was good though but really not the future of banking. -- IsakAlbert, 2024-12-12 ### **--- "App freezing" App freezes when trying to upload or delete uploaded documents -- Don 504, 2024-12-12 ### ***** "Best bank" Best service,quality experience -- Thapelo damans, 2024-12-06 ### ***-- "Notifications" Please put a little close button or something on the notification permission view, I really don’t want to turn on my notifications and every time I sign into the app it pops up, takes me to my settings then I have to go back to the app and it’s just really getting annoying now -- K0.o, 2024-12-03 ### *---- "Insure" Dont see the scratch and dent option -- gys68, 2024-11-23 ### *---- "Notification pop up" Every time I logged into the app I have to either accept the notification enablement pop up or close my app to bypass it. Surely I should be able to ignore this? -- Bounces bear, 2024-11-20 ### *---- "Errors when logging in" I keep getting “network errors” when logging in. Yes I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app over 5 x now. It’s so annoying -- anny media, 2024-11-18 ### *---- "Server Error" I’ve been trying to get assistance with the server error issue for almost 2 months but no one has been able to assist. I’ve even tried with a different phone but getting the same error. I can’t complete the opening my bank account. -- Mancheezy Sk, 2024-11-08 ### ***-- "Pin navigation." I like Discovery Bank and have been a happy client since the beginning. I never had to complain about anything. I keep my app current and ensure that I run the latest OS software. Please add a debit order management option. Update: Please allow the option to pin the navigation menu. It isn't easy to click the back arrow every time to move to a new screen or main menu **7 Nov. 2024: Update** Please add all travel features to the app. We always carry our phones, so it's much easier to search, book, and pay for travel arrangements on the app rather than using an iPad or laptop, could you, therefore include accommodation and car hire booking options? The website doesn't work properly on the iPhone browser, making it inconvenient to use. Thank you! -- Lehlohonolom, 2024-11-07 ### ***** "Very Happy" Been using the app now for four years and it’s just got better and better and the service of the support centre is top notch. Only proposed functionality would be the ability to custom name the virtual cards vs just being able to pick a name from a selection -- SAJamesS, 2024-11-05 ### ***** "Privacy of the App" Ever since the app launched, it was a pleasure to use. Now not so much. My privacy do not feel private anymore. The new requirements are to put on the location permanently and also to log in with face recognition. I did not do it or set it up, which blocks me out of the app. I cannot do anything on the app it is as good to be deleted. Please can this be fixed. Other South African Bank apps do not even have those features or one have a choice of a few and then be able to log in. -- Boompoe, 2024-11-03 ### *---- "Locked out of app" This is so frustrating. I’m unable to log in. It asks for me to take a selfie and directs me to permission, the settings on my phone doesn’t have an option for this app to use camera. I tried going online but the OTPs aren’t sending to my email. This is a nightmare. I can’t even call the call centre because I have to approve on the app. This is so ridiculous. Moving banks the second I have this sorted. -- tmorseSA, 2024-10-31 ### ***** "Widget for Vitality Active rewards please" Please make an iOS widget to let us see our Vitality Active rewards. It’s a pain to log into a banking app to check your exercise goals. -- Dillxrfb, 2024-10-26 ### *---- "Open a bank account" There is an issue to add a mobile number during the steps to join to discovery bank account -- Erasmo Fábio, 2024-10-21 ### *---- "Real Time App Updates" Please find a better way around the “Real Time App Updates”. I’ll need to use the app desperately only to have to wait five minutes for the in app update to complete -- King1994King, 2024-10-12 ### ****- "Lost financial analyser history" The financial analyser is a very useful tool. However at some point I have lost a lot of history from mid 2023 backwards to 2020. Not sure why this is the case. Otherwise happy with the app. -- reviewman200, 2024-10-09 ### ***** "WoW" How far has Discovery Bank come from inception? Simply amazing to see and to be part of it is awesome. Having all my Financial products with Discovery and getting cashbacks, rewards, miles, discounts is beyond any other Banking and Financial Product out there. Well done Discovery -- Kevdeluxx, 2024-10-08 ### ***** "Best bank ever" This is my favorite bank of all time❤️❤️❤️ -- Tkkhalifa, 2024-10-08 ### ***-- "Lotto" When will we be able to purchase lotto on the app? -- I need answers😂, 2024-10-08 [View all Discovery Bank reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Discovery Bank Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | South Africa | Finance | #13 | | Top Free | South Africa | Overall | #121 | ## Discovery Bank Discovered Keywords -
