The app has Alzheimer's
Every single time I open the app I have to use both my biometrics and full login details to log in. Every. Single. Time.
I have chosen all options to remember my logins. Why ask biometrics AND login details.
Stuck before I even got started...
Was thrilled to see that the US was one of the included countries when I began the process of signing up, but after providing my phone number the very next piece of requested information is "ID Number", and that's where I was stopped in my tracks. Not only is it set to only let you use numeric keypad for this part of the form, it also requires an ID number of 13 digits. Alas, we here in the US, and more specifically in California, are coming up short with our mere 8 numbers given per ID. And actually, we really only have 7 because the first digits not even a number, it’s a freaking letter! Crazy right??!!.... I don’t blame you for not accommodating us during your sign up process...
Backward compatibility
No compatible app versions for iOS versions < 13 🤷♂️

I hate you
This app is pretty mid ngl
As a bank they’re fine. I have no complaints, the app is fine too. Kind feels like the bare minimum in every respect. Not especially well designed or poorly designed. Comparing it to actually well designed apps like revolut it starts feeling less fine but whatever.
ID number??
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to join or to get this ID number! Says anyone can join but then says you need an ID number. How do I get one? Who knows! I’ve never dealt with something so complicated!
This bank looks great but I wouldn’t know because I can’t get access to it or anything. And the website provides no answers.
Charges for Fuel and Debit Order is not in keeping with your Competition
Refer to call with Orabile. Call Ref 7711516. A manager was supposed to call me yesterday and has not done so as yet.
I like Discovery for the professional call center. However I hate dealing with my current Banker Standard Bank as these 5 big banks are Oligopolies. However I didn’t know you charge interest in Debit orders and Fuel. Standard Bank does not charge interest on Fuel. Have a look at my monthly business. I always pay my accounts fully every month and save on any interest charges. I will now only use Standard Bank if the interest on the Sun Vacation club interest for the past 12 months are not reversed.
Get a Senior Manager to call me about this.
Kind Regards.
