### 1/5 — Worst Service Ever

*2026-06-19, version 4.4.22*

Highly unprofessional app! They deducted my salary advance repayment on June 3rd, but my approved AED 875 limit has been blocked for over 15 days due to their internal system glitch ("Repayment is pending" error with Abhi Fintech). Their customer support completely ignores emails and repeatedly lies by asking for "another 24 hours" every single day. Absolute waste of time and terrible experience. Avoid this app if you want peace of mind!

### 1/5 — Worst for online transactions

*2026-06-19, version 4.4.22*

Please never use this application for online payments.

Both my friend and I recharged our NOL cards through this app after being informed that the balance would be activated within 45 minutes. However, even after two days, the amount was still not reflected when using RTA buses. As a result, both of us received fines of AED 200.

If the balance cannot be activated within the stated timeframe, why mislead loyal customers with inaccurate information? Experiences like this seriously damage the credibility and trustworthiness of the service.

After this incident, I am very hesitant to use this application for any future transactions.

### 1/5 — EID MISMATCHED!!!!!

*2026-06-03, version 4.4.22*

### 5/5 — Helpful and professional staff

*2026-05-11, version 4.4.22*

Excellent service experience. The Ms. Hafzah Muroor Branch cashier was very professional, polite, and efficient .Thank you for providing such great customer service!”

### 1/5 — Very bad experience this apps

*2026-04-01, version 4.4.21*

I sent money last 25 March 2026 but till now is not credited to my bank account and it was already deducted to my bank account.  I called 26 March 2026 and they made a complaint they said it will sorted maximum within 3 days and it’ll be on 30 March and now 01 April 2026 still I’m waiting my money back or sent to my bank account. I trusted this apps but now they took money from the labour like me. One from the customer service my money showing pending and why not your returning back my money to my bank account???

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2026-02-12, version 4.4.18*

It’s convenient and doesn’t charge much while transferring the amount.

### 1/5 — Transfer that got stuck

*2026-01-23, version 4.4.17*

I’ve never had a problem with this app until I did a transaction that is still stuck without getting any help from the customer care. I’ve been trying to reach out through sending emails without getting any response even tried to call them and they’ve told me I’ll receive any email but nothing yet happened. It is very disappointing that we trust them but they can’t help us when we have a problem . I am so sad and broken as as customer that I can’t get the help from their side 😭 it’s been weeks please do something🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

### 1/5 — Very Bad Service

*2025-12-17, version 4.4.15*

I attempted to transfer money through Alfapay, but the transaction has been stuck on “processing” for nearly 10 hours and eventually failed. It has been three days, and I have not received my funds back, nor have I received any notification regarding the refund. This was an emergency transfer for a hospital case, and the delay is extremely concerning. I request immediate action and better communication regarding failed transactions and refunds.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2025-12-12, version 4.4.15*

They don’t have time to reply to your concern. They have scam free service charge. Once the beneficiary received the money they will deduct the money you send by bank. So disappointment. Poor service
