### 1/5 — What’s going on with authorizations

*2025-12-22*

Something weird going on with authorization. Have done  hundreds of transactions on 6060 with this card previously. Today it just won’t let me authorize. Notification pops up from Bank Zero app that I should please authorize but then it just opens the app on normal screen and I can’t find the authorization. Infuriating trying to buy Christmas groceries. This app is so in user friendly. Feels like it was built in someone’s garage. And not in a cool way.

**Developer response:** Please contact our WhatsApp support team on 079 221 6628 so we can assist you.

### 1/5 — Digital bank, no digital wallet!

*2024-03-11*

Until Bank Zero develops support for digital wallets i.e. Google pay Apple Pay etc, it has no value to me. Develop it, then we can talk.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-12-09, version 1.1.22*

There is no way to put money in the account without having another bank account to pay for the card so it’s totally useless as you only bank account. Apps like SnapScan don’t recognise bank zero for refunds so I closed the account.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-10-20*

Can’t register because SMS never arrives.
Also, app support webpage link here leads to error 404. So much for a well devised system.

**Developer response:** Hi there, if you are still experiencing these issues please email us on info@bankzero.co.za

### 4/5 — Dull UI and subscriptions needs work

*2025-06-30, version 1.1.31*

Utilitarian interface which is not a bad thing but it lacks 2025 design chic. Beyond that, I’m finding that the subscription box is simply not up to the task and I think you really need to develop functionality to open a sub window to enable subscriptions to be managed with a bit more real estate.

### 4/5 — Nice idea

*2023-01-19, version 1.1.14*

Very nice idea. More functual and intuitive design and design upgrade such as Monzo in the UK might make more users change to your platform.

### 5/5 — Over the moon

*2025-07-17*

Superb stuff. Turbo charge your treasury here. These guys rock and roll.

### 5/5 — Where have you been all my life?….

*2024-06-07*

### 5/5 — How banking should be

*2023-11-21*

Bank Zero feels light and breezy. It's not weighed down by 100 years of legacy.

I tried to open a business account at a traditional bank. So far the number of forms required is 10 and easily still that amount to come still.

Bank Zero only needed a couple of basic documents and the whole thing took about 10 minutes of actual time

Support staff (in this case Kamogelo) are friendly, fast and knowledgable.

Same goes for their personal banking.

### 5/5 — Bank Zero

*2023-11-05*

Easy as pie! Very basic App, does the job. Easy online application and FICA process. Excellent customer service behind the App! Small Bank with great attitude. Well done!

**Developer response:** It is delightful to hear such positive words and it’s always a pleasure to serve our users.

### 5/5 — Powerful.

*2022-10-19*

Excellent local banking product and service, and it’s all for free so I’m quite chuffed with that. The card has worked seamlessly in SA and for all my online use.

**Developer response:** Hi Wian, Thank you very much for your 5-star review!!!

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2022-07-09*

You can open an account and do all the FICA steps right in the app. If you are tired of the term “go to branch with your ID and proof of address” then Bank Zero created the perfect app and process. This app is a one stop shop to do all your banking.

**Developer response:** Hi Braam, Thank you for your 5-star review!
