### 1/5 — Deposit since 2021 and still can’t withdraw!

*2024-03-08*

I have tried to reach out to you people on almost every platform. And just now I updated the app and I can’t even sign in again. I need to just get my balance off into my main bank account and it keeps telling me to verify my BVN which I’ve done severally but still fails. And I got a message that y’all are closing finally? If this wasn’t a scam how come several customers can’t get their balance off with the same complain and y’all are still saying you want to close?!

### 1/5 — Where did the cards go?

*2023-11-09, version 2.5.0*

Barter, where did your cards go?

### 1/5 — Barter is a fraud

*2023-05-04, version 2.4.0*

This app stole my money I made a transaction it didn’t go through for days and I never got a refund

### 1/5 — Account

*2023-04-16, version 2.4.0*

Can’t access my account activities since over some months now , no transfer and others

### 5/5 — It’s everything to me

*2023-02-03, version 2.4.0*

From the free transactions to the speedy transfers or how easy it is to view older transactions, they are them.

### 5/5 — The app doesn’t work on my iphone 13

*2022-12-19, version 2.2.1*

It just shows me service unavailable try again later.. I can’t add money to the app anymore

### 2/5 — Doesn’t send notifications

*2022-12-10, version 2.2.1*

Fix your app please. It’s always one problem or the other. The reason Touch ID is there is so that OTP logins are not necessary. Mandating OTP login despite using biometric login is NOT user intuitive!

Why is your app not sending notifications for transactions? No in-app notification, no mail notification. What kind of mobile banking service are you running??

I just hassled someone needlessly over not sending money they were supposed to. It turns out the person did send it FOUR days ago, but your app did not deem it fit or necessary to notify me of a credit transaction — or any transaction, for that matter. No mail notification, either! I will definitely stop using Barter. Between you and Zenith, I don’t know who’s worse.

### 3/5 — Good app bad customer service

*2022-12-08, version 2.2.1*

Barter app is great but the customer service is very very bad…I don’t know why they hiding themselves

### 2/5 — Can’t login

*2022-12-08, version 2.2.1*

I’m trying to login and I’m asked to set up 2FA but when I choose the option it brings me back to the login page. Several times

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2022-12-06, version 2.2.1*

Flutter wave took my money and never refund till today like where do I start? I sent money and till now the receiver never received and I didn't get a refund
