App review

Yesterday July 3, 2026 I updated the CBE iOS app. After the update, I was unable to log in using biometrics. The app displays the message: โ€œSign in with your PIN first. Biometrics will be set up automatically.โ€ However, when I try to enter my PIN, the app gets stuck on the biometric screen with the fingerprint icon or not redirecting to PIN insertion Form, and there is no option to enter the PIN. Please investigate and help resolve this issue.

System Improvement Request

The current screenshot function does not capture the complete page and includes unnecessary sections. Please improve the functionality by adding a Download button that enables users to download the full page directly. The download feature should work similarly to the services provided by other banks, such as BOA and Awash Bank.

About Transactions

It shows little like 10 transactions fix it

Biometrics Broken

It thinks its Android trying to scan my fingerprint and fails and says login with pin first but cant access that or anything else. Recent update caused it

It is not working

The updated app is not working properly required PIN but their is no keyboard to enter PIN

Update crush the app and failed to update

Please fix updates from crushing the syncing and to activate we still have to go to the main account office not any branch even we have to go to the one branch the account was opened at and for someone that is aboard it is not possible at all. Terrible user experience !

App doesnโ€™t work

App doesnโ€™t have PIN option. It is not finished . I canโ€™t sign in and transfer money. App is not finished. Please repair as soon as possible๐Ÿ˜ญ

App has UI issues and I canโ€™t l log in

It shows a finger print biometric login even though this is an iPhone then when you touch it just shows this screen that says use pin and it is stuck, no way to put in pin or go anywhere. I loved the new update but this is a serious banking app, it is not supposed to have a silly bug like this. I am so tired of going to a branch and resetting the app

Incompetent and lack of tech management

You should test the application before releasing the updates, with more than 30M customers such errors are not acceptable.

Only focusing on collecting charges cannot make you stay in the business, try introducing some technologies that even simple fintech companies are using years back. In the age of AI and smart banking, CBE cannot even help the customers use simple banking transactions in a critical time.
Shame in you.

Appreciation ๐Ÿ‘

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current update is Ethiopia's first impressive banking app to date. Just keep it up and always be at forefront

The able to access pin entry box

The field is hidden and Iโ€™m unable to enter my pin

Login Issue

I canโ€™t log in after my app was automatically updated to version 6.0.6. Iโ€™m seeing a fingerprint screen that says, โ€œLog in with your PIN and you can set up biometrics later,โ€ but thereโ€™s no field to enter my PIN. I also canโ€™t log in using my fingerprint.

Before the update to version 6.0.6, the app worked great. It was very responsive, and the UI looked good.

Issue to login

I had setup the app for biometrics on previous version and after updating I couldnโ€™t sign in because the app locked with biometrics

Mr.

Hello
The latest update has issue with switching preferences between pin code and biometrics. Also it is not fetching the last ten transactions to be visible in some accounts. This specific issue begins from July 1st 2026.

System crash

Your latest update (Version 6.0.6) is not working properly on iOS. Specifically, I am running iOS version 26.5, and the application is requesting that I enter a PIN to proceed, but it does not provide the option or keyboard to actually input it.

Is not working

Please fix it fast
