### 2/5 — Not simple

*2026-08-08, version 16.20.1*

App is not user friendly

### 4/5 — Issue

*2026-06-22, version 16.18.0*

Today , i faced issue in the supermarket because i couldn’t able to use my card ,reason for “expired of the record of Emirates ID” from the bank , which was not informed totally and i had to call service and make a phone call to fix the issue for more than 25 minutes call. And we found out the reason at last . Not totally acceptable . Why there’s no informations about expired of ID record ?!!!!!! 
You just wasted my time

### 4/5 — Last Update Killed App (Update)

*2026-05-27, version 16.17.1*

There was an update which killed the app for me where the app would require FaceID on startup. This issue was resolved and I am able to use this app as before. 

Thank you to the developer for fixing this. Overall it’s a solid banking app. There are a few issues with clarity around how to manage some things.

### 2/5 — Functional but spammy

*2026-05-25, version 16.17.1*

Does the basics of what you’d want but the constant pop-ups for everything are so aggravating. You shouldn’t have to dismiss “offers” (which feel a bit like shady marketing) more than once but it’s always 5 taps of hiding ads before you actually get to the app.

### 5/5 — Happy Customer

*2026-05-07, version 16.16.0*

Excellent Service

### 5/5 — Alain

*2026-04-24, version 16.15.1*

### 4/5 — تصحيح الكاميرا

*2026-04-08, version 16.14.2*

### 1/5 — Last Update Killed App

*2026-05-08, version 16.16.0*

I am no longer able to log into the app. I am unable to use Face ID for security and personal reasons.

It doesn’t seem to be a way around the new feature that requires Face ID. So the application is now useless to me.

### 1/5 — Latest update has a bug

*2026-05-07, version 16.16.0*

Latest update has a bug doesn’t allow to log in keeps saying Face ID settings!

### 1/5 — Limited Payment Options

*2026-05-02, version 16.15.1*

I got the new Amazon Credit card and am being told that there is no way to pay it through the app unless you open a current account as well with EI. That means no auto-pay option and to pay the credit card you either have to set up manual transfers or deposit cash in an atm.

### 1/5 — Waste my time keep waiting

*2026-04-21, version 16.15.1*

They kept me waiting for almost an hour to speak one of the agent and no one answering my message they to wait for to minutes instead i wait for an hour and they tell me after waiting for an hour they tell me that there’s no agent available they should tell that early and not kept me waiting for an hour it’s a worse customer service

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional app

*2026-04-07, version 16.14.2*

The app is useless for anything other than the most basic services. It’s impossible to contact someone; WhatsApp banking is an infinite loop of self-service; and you cannot raise a service request to save your life on the app. This is very disappointing in terms of functionality.

### 1/5 — Limited Payment Options

### 1/5 — Can’t find basic functions

*2026-01-13, version 16.10.0*

Can’t find basic functions

### 1/5 — Just use SMS for approval

*2025-12-13, version 16.8.2*

What is the point of having multiple steps to go in the shoddy EI app to approve purchases? SMS works perfectly well. The new system is hopeless

### 1/5 — لا انصح به

*2025-10-20, version 16.5.0*
