Worse, unlike other financial apps, the platform does not allow the app to become [even temporarily] authorized as a second factor. This means that every time you use the app, you have to [find &] use your hardware security key—in which case (unless you carry your key with you everywhere) you might as well just use your desktop browser. At the very least, Daffy should support TOTP. But really the app should be come a second factor once an existing second factor is presented. Do better, Daffy. ### 5/5 — Easy to set up/use donor advised fund (DAF) to make periodic donations to your charities; low fees. *2026-08-11, version 1.44.16* At the beginning of 2026, we used Daffy to effectively prepay a year’s worth of donations to our church. That prepayment is immediately a charitable contribution for tax purposes. It doesn’t matter if you simply keep the funds with Daffy or set up monthly draws, which is what we do. No credit cards or checks needed by us to send to our church. The app shows when checks are sent and if the church deposited those checks. The fee of $3/m offsets what we’d otherwise pay in postage! Since our funds are put into the most aggressive funds, those gains far more offset this $3, and not having to deal with it monthly is a major time saver. We love Daffy! ### 1/5 — No customer service *2026-07-25, version 1.44.14* Daffy has had my money for 3 weeks, (since July 6th) and my account still shows a zero balance. I have emailed repeatedly and no one has responded. There is no customer service number to call. I realize there’s a great chance that I did something wrong during setup but it sure would be nice if they could let me know what is going on. Fidelity Charitable shows Daffy received the EFT on 7-6-26, so I currently have a zero balance at both places and no one responding at Daffy. Daffy sounds like a good company if everything goes well, if it doesn’t though, I think you’re out of luck. Thank you. Robert ### 5/5 — Excellent Donor Advised Fund *2026-03-19, version 1.42.1* Daffy is super easy to fund and to use. I’ve made both recurring donations and one time gifts to multiple organizations. From churches to community groups to volunteer organizations Daffy has made giving easy. ### 5/5 — So easy to contribute *2025-12-31, version 1.41.1* Contributing from my company’s brokerage, ETrade, are so much easier to my daffy account are a lot easier than to fidelity charitable account. This is a great app for a private donor. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-09-15, version 1.40* Daffy is amazing-a blessing!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-08-28, version 1.31.3* This is an incredible app with excellent functionality for a DAF ### 4/5 — Long time user *2025-05-21, version 1.28* Been using Daffy for a while. Overall, very happy with the experience and the price. The only wish I have is if they offered a view into overall performance of the personal portfolio to see total return. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Solution *2024-11-13, version 1.26* Daffy makes giving easy. By far the easiest DAF solution around! ### 5/5 — Excellent, Cost Effective Solution *2024-07-22, version 1.24.42* Our foundation has been using Daffy for about two years and the service has been excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in establishing a charitable solution. ## Frequently asked questions about Daffy ### What does this app do?
