Reviews

Good start
seamusbjh

The "session has expired" notifications are really annoying and their usefulness is confusing. There is also no 'back swipe' iOS functionality and instead you have to press the back button on top each screen. Otherwise, there are occasional hiccups, especially on the log in screen but not bad as a start.


Drivers license scan doesn’t work
r m smy

Can’t onboard sadly. The drivers license scan doesn’t recognise the back of the card even against a black background. After a few tries the app gives an error too.


Potential...
El_greco120

Having discovery bank app in the beginning was slightly difficult...Took long to understand it.. They busy adding every month new things and they catching up with fnb and std apps.. The rewards program is good and security system is tight.. Discovery is doing great job and looking forward what the future holds with them.. It took Std app years to even become the half of what fnb app was... Looking forward to new updates!Keep up the great work guys!

Said the photo was unsatisfactory but won’t allow me to take another even though it requests this


Stuck on confirm your details
Festus786

When changing banks first impressions are important and if your app does not work properly when trying to signup , how is the whole banking experience going to be ? Why bother with a app that gets stuck and clearly is not working properly judging by the other comments here . Discovery , are you trying to get clients or loose clients ?????


Can’t set the password
DiscoveryyyyApp!!!

I reset my password 4 times and it kept saying my username and password were wrong. A bit difficult to give it a try if you can’t even log in. App deleted. I’ll stick with Investec.


Confusing and does not work
Dan888Dan

Overly complicated system and when you try activate or use it over seas you can not get in or select any options. I feel the app was launched prematurely and not enough testing has been done. Extreamly frustrating and not comforting when you dealing with money. Looking to drop them as a bank


Buggy and slow
kobusp

Features don't work consitanty. Have to restart app a lot. And then have to use login details every few times even though facial recognition is on.


Amazing app
SterlingJohn

Interface is top-class! Vitality Money is a great feature. So glad I joined.


Updates should bring improvements!
Dolan SA

This app has been excellent...up until the latest update. It is now rubbish! Using an iPhone XS, it is slow, the Home Screen buttons lead to blank pages that force an app force close, you can’t simply login anymore. Don’t the developers test the updates before they send them out? You guys are better than this.
