Easy and rewarding. Honestly, more secure than others.
1) I get better rewards than my credit card w/o worrying about all that debt… Seriously, it’s like 10% back at so many places.
2) they use the same methods/security as all the major apps (Venmo, cashapp etc)
3) It’s safer than a debit card because my phone requires my face or passcode to access and I’m less likely to lose my phone than my card (I shudder thinking about all the times I’ve left my card or wallet behind at some bar).
4) it actually seems SAFER than Venmo/cashapp because let’s say somebody DOES get into my phone, they can use Venmo/cashapp to send themselves money and cash it out to their bank… Kuto is one way only from you to a business. So the worst they could do is buy something from a small business.
5) Took me about a minute to sign up and I just plug in what I owe, flash the confirmation screen to the employee and I’m off.
One small annoyance it takes a second to update my location and show the business I’m trying to pay at but honestly I just got used to loading the app before I order/pay kinda like digging around your wallet for your card before you get to the counter or whatever. And when I think about it that delay probably has nothing to do with Kuto and everything to do with signal strength or if the Wi-Fi I’m on has weird protocols in place.
TLDR;I dig it. The businesses I like to support dig it. Strengths outweigh the one quasi negative So I’m in. Solid app 👍

I love Kuto!
What a treat! It’s easy to use and is a great way to discover new local businesses. The Kuto store always has solid discounts and I like using the coupons as an excuse to try out new restaurants.
Love this app!
Such a great app that is actually good to local business owners! In a world of predatory apps (ahem, door****) it’s so nice that one is actually helping small business.
Save $$$
This app gives you daily deals to get like half off tons of places you were already going anyway! A little treat to myself each day
10/10
Amazing user experience and customer service!
Easy and great
This is such an easy payment method and it’s good for our community. It’s a win win!
I use this all the time
Really glad there’s a way to pay by mobile while avoiding all the sheisty stuff payment processors get up to.
KUTO is worth your time and wallet!
Kuto has showed me the way to countless local businesses and I’m always impressed with the selection of restaurants, bars, and shops full of goodies. I recommend this app to all my friends! Thank you Kuto!
Download this app!!!
This app is definitely doing great things for our local businesses!
Flaky Merchants
While the app works fine many of the listed merchants aren’t able to accept payment, for a variety of reasons. So before you order food make sure you have another way to pay for it.
Love that I can pay locally while supporting our local businesses.
10/5 rating! Would rate again. Will pass on to friends and friends that have businesses in town. Thanks for being here Kuto.❤️
What’s not to like?
Contactless easy payment. Rewards. 0% financing. Reducing merchant fees helps the small business and the consumer. Keep money loca!
They need you online bank user name and password
Why would anyone give someone else their bank acct online user name and password?
Stopped installing mid way thru
I saw this app advertised locally and I like the idea of saving local businesses money but this app lost me the moment it asked me to provide them with my bank account password! What? So unsafe! Won’t be using it.
I love this app!!!!
This makes paying so easy! Love that I don’t have to touch anything and I don’t need to whip out my credit card to pay with this app. I absolutely love it!!!
Wow so easy and quick
I tried it yesterday at carts on Madison and it was very quick and easy to use.
No swiping, no putting the phone next to the terminal, it was effortless as it showed all nearby locations for me to pick from to pay.
It is my mission to get as many vendors to start using this app. We were so satisfied that each weekend, my family will frequent vendors that accept Kuto Pay.

I’ll change my review if my problem gets fixed
As much as I love plaid it doesn’t seem to recognized smaller credit unions because I keep getting the unable to verify from Kuto servers after my bank has verified the device. Then it has the audacity to ask me to use another bank?
I tried connecting my bank from at different times and days and I keep running into the problem. If the app would let me add my account and routing number manually I would using the app right now

It now works with my bank and it is flawless! Super convenient.

Easy and contactless
Easiest way to pay ever! After downloading the app, I just hit ready to pay and tell the cashier my name and that’s it! I didn’t have to hand over my credit card or cash, didn’t have to sign anything or touch anything!
It’s fine
It’s fine
Easy, fee-free payment
The app experience is simple and easy to use and completely contactless (no awkward card swiping or exchanging at the register).
Best of all, there’s no credit card fees so I can use it to support my local businesses without having to carry cash.
