Al Rayan Bank UK Authenticator User Reviews

Doesn’t work.

I’ve been sat here for an hour trying to log into my account. This authentication app doesn’t work. It’s so frustrating! We shouldn’t have to deal with this! I need to access my account but because I changed my phone I had to re register. An absolute nightmare!

Al-Rayan Bank Authenticator app

Just spent a third soul-sucking fruitless session with customer service trying to access my fixed term deposit account. I still cannot proceed and access my account. I note this app scores 1 star!
Who was the genius who insisted this was superior to what all other banks do and simply send a 6-digit authentication code for us to submit and then access our account??
I shall wait until November 2025 when my fixed term deposit matures and hope management has seen the light and dispensed with this system. Otherwise I will have to try again, withdraw all my fund and never go near Al Rayan Bank again! Your love affair with digital access is pathetic!

Dreadful

Hard, inconvenient and highly not intuitive. Device registration is the hardest part and is not well described anywhere. No help or guidance to use this rubbish.

Can’t login

Neither the app nor the desktop version allows you to log in, likely due to an authentication issue with the main server. They are pushing customers to use their digital platform, which isn't functioning properly. It's baffling how this bank operates with such decision-makers at the top.

Worst app and bank

I can’t access by bank accounts because this piece of **** app won’t even open!

New phone can’t open app

I have a new iphone and not able to open my app or use this Authenticator to help!

Al rayan customer

Absolutely useless. I can’t open either my banking app or desktop digital banking. And they don’t open on weekends to give customer assistance. Shambles. Time to move all accounts to another bank that knows what they are doing

Al Rayan Bank Authenticator

Can’t access my accounts on either desktop or mobile. App just doesn’t work. And phoning is a nightmare.

Awful

I have never got this app to work. Every time I login and am asked to scan the image absolutely nothing happens. I can easily access my 3 other banks and PayPal, but this is hopeless

Doesn’t work!

Hopeless! I now can’t access my accounts either via PC or iPhone App. This security ‘update’ seems to be a shambles as I see I’m not alone in not being able to make this work.

Biggest waste of space.

The app Authenticator doesn’t work.

Will try and phone them when they open and withdraw any money I have with this shambolic institution making Islamic banking seem like a joke.

Does not work

One of the worst app I have ‘used’. I say ‘used’ because I could not get it to work at all. Authenticator is useless and so is the actual banking app

Pathetic

Simply doesn't work. I have deleted it which is my father best thing to do with this app.

Authenticator app would not work

What’s the point of making an app which you have not made properly or made it user friendly.. worst ever bank and mobile app too..

Finding it really difficult to load app

I have tried quite a few times and it’s just not loading

Appalling

This Authenticator is appalling
Qr code appears but keeps saying not correct on app
Cleaned camera
Desktop screen but doesn’t solve anything
Please fix this app
Thanks

Frustrating

It’s always difficult to update an Al Ryan Mobile banking app. Why can’t they make it as simple as other banks. Very frustrating

Updating the app

I can’t see anything to scan the image as the screen says & can’t setup new updated app.

Useless

Not intuitive, clunky, fails most of the time Probably the worst banking app out there

Incompetent...App from hell!

This is most miserable app I have tired to use. Please ask HSBC and Natwest on how to run such a service.
