Ratings and Reviews
Effortless Banking at Your Fingertips.
As a long-time user of various banking apps, I must say Discovery Bank’s app is a delightful surprise. From the moment I logged in, the sleek interface and intuitive navigation stood out. It’s not just about the aesthetics; the functionality is top-notch too. The app’s security features give me peace of mind, ensuring my financial data is protected at all times.
What really sets this app apart is its user-friendly approach to managing finances. The budgeting tools are straightforward and incredibly helpful for tracking expenses. The ability to categorize transactions allows for a clearer financial picture, aiding in better financial decisions.
The rewards system is another feature that deserves praise. It’s motivating to earn rewards for healthy financial habits, and this innovative approach has encouraged me to manage my finances more effectively.
Customer support through the app is commendable. The response times are quick, and the representatives are knowledgeable and friendly. It’s clear that Discovery Bank values customer experience.
In summary, the Discovery Bank app is a blend of functionality, security, and user-centric design. It’s a game-changer in the world of mobile banking, making financial management not just easier but also enjoyable.
Credit Card Authorisations
I’ve really been enjoying the app, thank you to the guys from Discovery and Glucode.
I was wondering if credit card authorisations for overseas travel is something in the pipeline in terms of in-app functionality. Rather than having to phone in to activate / authorise every time.
I used to bank through SBK, and remember enjoying that as a feature (whose app was also developed in partnership with Glucode).
Ongoing Poor Service from Discovery Bank
I am incredibly frustrated with Discovery Bank's lack of communication and unresolved issues regarding a transaction dispute with TradingView. After a phone call to report the issue, I received an email with forms to complete. I had some questions and emailed them for clarification, but I received no response after a week's worth of follow-ups. Only after logging complaints with the complaints department, I finally hear back.
The dispute process took weeks, and I was informed that the disputed amount would be refunded in the meantime, while the investigation was still pending. However, I don’t understand why the refund was processed if the investigation hadn't been concluded. To make matters worse, this past weekend, the disputed transaction was debited again, without any update or explanation from Discovery Bank.
I reached out via email to seek insight into this new development, and once again, I have been completely ignored.
This isn't the first time I've had this issue with Discovery Bank. Last year, I had similar experiences with the Vitality Clicks claim and the airport lounge claim, where the agents made inaccurate statements, and I had to fight for any form of resolution. It’s extremely disappointing to see the same pattern repeat itself.
As a long-time customer, I expect much better service than this.
