1. 5/5Flawless app with best CX

   This app has the best customer experience I have come across. The ease of use is almost incomprehensible. Everything gets done quickly and smoothly; the app is meticulously designed, deliberate, simple, and leaves a distinct emotional imprint with its UX. The experience has been so good that I cancelled the account I opened with another prestigious (one of the largest and most reputable) banks in the UAE. Hats off to the Wio team! They really nailed it.

2. 1/5Extremely Disappointing Experience – Account Frozen Without Explanation

   I had been using Wio Bank for almost a year with absolutely no issues and genuinely enjoyed how simple and convenient the app was. Unfortunately, all of that changed about a month ago when my account was suddenly frozen without any explanation. Since then, I’ve called customer support five separate times, and every single time I receive the same vague response: “Sorry, we are investigating.” No one can tell me why my account is frozen, what triggered it, or when it will be resolved. I can’t use my card, I can’t send money, and I’m left completely in the dark. The only time I received any written response from them was after filing a complaint with the Central Bank. Even then, their reply was just another generic “we are working on it.” At least the Central Bank informed me that I should expect a response within 30 business days, which is apparently the timeframe Wio has been given to fix the issue — but it’s extremely frustrating that the bank itself provided no clarity at all. For a digital bank that promotes convenience and transparency, this experience has been the complete opposite. Having your money locked with no explanation and no timeline is incredibly stressful. I can no longer recommend Wio Bank based on what I’ve gone through.

3. 1/5Waste of your time! At least don’t waste your money!

   Since a couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to verify my identity through the app as a new customer, but the app crashes with a coding error. Support has been contacted and informed since day one, but nobody has contacted me. Most important, the error has NOT been fixed, even with the new update. The response from the customer support “We’re unable to identify you…” which is a copy and paste to every critical review, is a joke! A joke is also asking you to contact them through social media for support. I wonder how these clowns got a banking license in the first place!

4. 4/5Too many updates

   While the app itself works fine, the updates are too frequent. You cannot use the app realistically, on the go, if the update is coming every 1 or 2 days. Causes a lot of issues esp if on cellular data trying to manage something but app won’t open until you update (again!). Delays work and productivity. Normally apps update after a month or more. Wio, you can do better. Ridiculous.

   Very easy to use and very cool for kids and adults you can customize your own cards and you can have people send you money and the app can help you invest
