### 1/5 — The customer support service is extremely poor.

*2026-06-25*

I have been trying for one and a half months to contact your support team regarding a health insurance issue. The insurance type that was assigned to me is the opposite of what is required, and despite numerous attempts to reach you, the issue remains unresolved. I am very disappointed with the level of support provided.

I am very disappointed with the support team. The level of support has been extremely poor and unhelpful. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-03-24*

If you have a choice, don’t use their services!!! There’s are several issues about the app functions, it’s super frustrating. I uploaded passport and it’s keep reminding me it’s missing. Also I already updated my arrive date and the app just can’t move to next step - the logic flow is brocken- there’s nowhere to update info and moving to next step. After so many attempts I finally got reply from customer support. Now it’s a new bug, nowhere I can possibly find or provide my transfer account info.  It’s super confusing and hard to use!!!!! Each step is not clearly mapped and linked. Website and App are no differences, the worst.

### 1/5 — I can’t log in

*2024-04-26*

Everytime I open this app, there are some wrongs waiting for me

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone

*2023-08-21*

It just stops and remind you to update and actually nothing can be updated

### 1/5 — Terrible Services

*2022-10-24*

I cancelled a block account over 5 weeks ago and funds have still not been reversed into my account. Whenever I call, I am told they will check and revert, and they only send a mail acknowledging receipt of my complaint and yet, nothing is done. Sutor Bank will not even engage me as they claim to not deal directly with blocked account holders…. I cannot understand this because the bank has acknowledged that I have funds with them so this makes me a client and as such, I should be able to make enquiries about my account with them. They have redirected me to deal with Fintiba.
The WORST services ever! I’d never recommend this to any student. You will only be frustrated. 

P.S. I gave a one-star rating only because I could not post my review without it. The one star is not even deserved!

We would appreciate it if you could provide us with more information about your account and the issue you are experiencing, such as your account details and any correspondence you have had with our customer support team.

### 2/5 — Not a good app, don’t have the option to not use it

*2022-09-26*

Unfortunately the choices for blocked accounts in Germany are few at the moment. Most regular banks don’t offer them anymore, so I’m forced to use fintiba. Sending the money wasn’t a huge problem, though I can’t report on receiving money yet because I just opened it.

My biggest issue is that Fintiba *requires* you to download their app to get the essential documents from them. This is inexcusable, and flat out taking advantage of students in a somewhat desperate situation. Who knows what kind of extra data they can collect about you when you download their app! Why is it not possible to receive the documents over the web? In fact… why have a web portal at all then?

***bonus round!***
26.09.22, have to re-download the app because the logging in is looping. The app often does this, but today it’s really bad. Also, the app doesn’t support keychain on iPhones, so a few extra clicks every time it loops. Pretty annoying. Like, if you’re going to force me to download your app… can you at least make it work?

**Developer response:** Dear SpencerAustin,

Thank you for your feedback on our app. We are sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience and would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Regarding your concern about having to download our app to access essential documents, we would like to assure you that we take data privacy very seriously and comply with all relevant data protection regulations. We understand that some users may prefer to access our services via the web portal, and we are continuously working to improve our platform to offer a better experience for our users.

Regarding the issue you are experiencing with logging in and the app looping, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with more information so that we can investigate the issue and provide you with the appropriate guidance and support. Additionally, we would like to inform you that our app is designed to comply with Apple's Keychain feature, and we will investigate why you are experiencing difficulties with it.

Please kindly send us more details about the issue you are experiencing via email at feedback@fintiba.com, and we will do our best to assist you in resolving this issue.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We value your feedback and hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
The Fintiba Team
