Previous version and the just released 1.7.0 as well. The app instantly crashes and force closes itself when opened. Reinstalls do not help. iPhone 15 plus. 17.4 ### 1/5 — Disgusting App *2024-03-14* Never have I seen or used an application that just keeps logging out immediately after logging in. It does this on across platforms. IE: Apple, Android OS. The service by the bank to correct the issue leave a lot to be desired. My personal opinion: WORST BANK TO HIT THE OECS TERRITORIES. Republic really need to listen to customers. Stop disrespecting nationals from other countries! ### 1/5 — Terrible app, login issues and terrible functionality *2024-03-11, version 1.6.0* Garbage app. Get it together the Scotia Bank app was way better than this and developed much earlier ### 1/5 — It keeps logging me back to *2024-02-20, version 1.6.0* There is clearly something wrong with this app. The previous version worked fine but now I am lucky if I am able to get in at all. ### 1/5 — App keeps signing out *2024-02-11, version 1.6.0* Since this last review the app does not stay logged in at all. I hope this can’t be fixed very soon ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-05-21, version 1.4.0* Rubbish doesn't give a chance to instal. I can't see my bank account. ### 1/5 — Worst app and worst bank *2023-05-04, version 1.4.0* No choice in banking leads to the most shabby and worse than a 3rd world service, no access for 3 months with supercilious condescending staff. ### 1/5 — App needs improvement *2023-02-27, version 1.4.0* Republic bank ec app keeps crashing for iphone 14. Please update with improvements and fixes. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2022-11-04, version 1.3* This app was poorly done. There’s room for allot of improvement. Really disappointed that I had to wait so long for THIS. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2022-10-14, version 1.3* Keeps logging you out and not working on iphone 14 pro ### 1/5 — App is Crap I hope they fix it *2022-08-17, version 1.2* Does not open, never has even after the latest update a couple months ago. Its too bad as the Republic online banking site is great. I’d like to use the app for 2 factor authentication instead of SMS which will only work with a St Kitts and Nevis number (869) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2022-08-02, version 1.2* Horribly slow and I have to type password several times before I can access my account. Seems like the bank bought a software for cheap or free. This is too annoying and frustrating. Not even a single star worth. I will give quarter star. ### 1/5 — Overkill security features for mobile banking *2022-06-13, version 1.2* I’m still flabbergasted that with all the advancements we’ve made in technology to make a simple thing such as logging in to a mobile banking app secure AND simple, that Republic bank had to choose the most arduous method! Why is the consumer forced to login via their mobile phone? If my phone is stolen or my battery is dead, can’t I access my account on a friends phone? On a laptop only? Coming from how simple Scotia Bank’s login process was, this is overkill!! ### 1/5 — Unfriendly in every way *2022-05-31* My biggest gripe is that I just CANNOT LOGIN HOW I WANT. It seems only one mobile device is allowed to log into your account. I have other bank account in other places (and of course not forgetting Scotiabank) where I could login with no stress on my phone or my tablet. Why is one restricted on how and in which way they login?! I have joined Republic bank once in Trinidad & Tobago and cancelled it in pure haste because the online banking was and probably still is too arduous. Now it is just my luck that I am forced to deal with them here in Grenada. When I have to log on, it is a mental process to have the strength to deal with it Republic’s technology is terrible. This is where they rank extremely low on the ease of doing business. ### 1/5 — Slow *2022-05-10, version 1.1* Slow to load. Incorrect data in some fields and field headers show wrong currency for current and pending transactions. Was told it would be fixed in the next update but it isn’t. ### 1/5 — Why is this so horrible? *2022-05-08, version 1.1* Small banks. Credit unions. Almost anybody you can think of has a functional app. This is the worst and most frustrating banking app and it’s not even close. You really need to do better. Scotia’s app worked great. Their online banking was awesome. Since they became Republic it’s been pure garbage. ### 1/5 — Worst bank app *2022-04-28, version 1.0* This is the worst bank app I have ever used. Several tries to log in. It took two bank personnel over an hour to switch me from an iPhone to an iPad. ### 1/5 — I’d give it zero stars if I could *2022-04-25, version 1.0* Worst financial app I’ve ever used. Never let’s you log in. What a pain!!! ### 1/5 — Very frustrating app *2022-04-04, version 1.0* Will log out immediately after logging in. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — LOGIN NIGHTMARE *2026-02-24, version 1.15.0* No customer service 800 number; not available on WhatsApp. I placed over 5 phone calls to their long distance number for help in trying to logon to my account. After their strict troubleshooting and logon instructions, I am still not able to logon to my acct. And I have been told to call back another day to speak with their internet banking dept. I don’t know why they hadn’t transferred me to that dept in the first place. This is very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Sync processing doesn’t work *2025-10-22, version 1.14.0* There is something wrong with this app. I def prefer the older version ### 1/5 — Unfriendliness *2025-09-18, version 1.14.0* This app has too much of a buffering time after synchronization or OTP. ### 1/5 — Limited and too much security *2025-09-16, version 1.14.0* Should be able to sign Into two accounts with this app. I.e, savings and business account simultaneously. Adding a payee can only be done via web browser. This should be done on the app. App is very slow as well. The security is way too tight. Moving from web browser to your device for sync approval etc ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-08-26, version 1.13.0* This app is absolutely worthless, unfriendly and a waste of time. It doesn’t always open on my IOS devices. When it does work there are too many bells and whistles for just needing to check your bank balances…ned to go back to the drawing board on this one.. ### 1/5 — Worst bank ever *2025-03-26, version 1.12.0* I am yet to have a positive interaction with this bank since I opened an account in January. My patience is running thin. When not even the mobile app opens, I wonder what I’m still there…☹️☹️ ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-11-05, version 1.9.0* I updated to this new version as my previous version stopped working. So far I have failed to get this new version to do anything useful. And, as others have commented, this app is very slow. In conclusion: this app is disappointing. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2024-10-24, version 1.9.0* This was a terrible app to begin with and now it seems like it’s not working properly every other week. I “try” to use it to send money to contacts and this weeks error is that none of my contacts are showing up. It’s bad enough that this app is more like circa 2005, but it would be nice if it at least worked. ### 1/5 — Crashes as soon as opened *2024-07-04, version 1.8.0* Was not able to use it ever. Previous version and the just released 1.8.0 as well. The app instantly crashes and force closes itself when opened. Reinstalls do not help. iPhone 15 plus. 17.5.1 ### 1/5 — Disgusting App *2024-03-19, version 1.7.0* Never have I seen or used an application that just keeps logging out immediately after logging in. It does this on across platforms. IE: Apple, Android OS. The service by the bank to correct the issue leave a lot to be desired. My personal opinion: WORST BANK TO HIT THE OECS TERRITORIES. Republic really need to listen to customers. Stop disrespecting nationals from other countries! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 3/5 — Unfriendly in every way *2026-03-31, version 1.15.0* The log in time is really slow and the wait time for transactions to process is also slow. I say this because I do have other bank accounts that are foreign based. So my comparison os real. Also I recently had to produce 2026 statements. Unless I missed something, I had to individually create a query for each month. For my foreign accounts, a per month statement was produced but I only needed to run one query to get those. Republic recently won an award for something tech related. That is great but OMG, the app is NOT ‘quick’. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
