### 1/5 — Needs updating all the time.

*2023-08-29, version 2.2.5*

I could have given it a 0 star if it was possible. Account information not accessible sometimes, constantly being updated. Unreliable!!! Won’t be surprise if this app exposes customers to hackers.

### 1/5 — Simply poor

*2023-08-17, version 2.2.1*

Much can be done. You basically cannot even login on IOS. 

Too often the application is down. This application needs significant improvement.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2023-08-06, version 2.2.1*

This latest version broke everything. Im out of the country and i cannot access my bank account anymore. 
The OTP is not working, and there is no way to select if we want to receive it via email or whatsapp. 
Can’t understand how you choose to deliver such a bad application to your customers

### 1/5 — Instable!

*2023-06-09, version 2.1.3*

Des réelles améliorations doivent être apportées à l’outil.
Bug réguliers

Opérations en double
Connexion difficile

### 1/5 — Mon partage

*2023-05-22, version 2.1.2*

Cette nouvelle version ne me permet pas d’avoir accès à mon compte. Je reçois en boucle ce message d’erreur.
External Service Error

Avant cette mise à jour j’avais accès à mon compte 1/3, c’était déjà ça.

Prenez-vous-te temps de valider vos mises à jour avant de les mettre en ligne?…

### 1/5 — Nouvelle version non fonctionnelle

*2023-05-21, version 2.1.2*

Cette nouvelle version est franchement inutile mieux vous remettez en marche l’ancienne. Plante tous les temps, impossible de faire les opérations ou recevoir le code, se déconnecte seul (temps d’expiration comme message) bref l’ancienne version était plus stable et assez fonctionnel. Merci

### 1/5 — Trop de problems

*2023-05-17, version 2.1.1*

Bonjour 
Cette nouvelle version a encore les problems que l’ancien n’avait pas. Ca affiche Server error tout temps
 Le code otp est lent a recevoir.

### 1/5 — Miss

*2023-05-03, version 2.1.0*

Worst service ever! Thinking of switching banks! Nothing works! 2days to login and once you are logged, impossible to make bank transfers.. worst app ever! Updated version is trash

### 1/5 — 0 star

*2023-05-02, version 2.1.0*

I wish I could give 0 star. I was already happy with this app, even spoke to friend about it! But this new  new version was released. Just a piece of crap! 
No access to my accounts anymore!
So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Incroyable

*2023-04-28, version 2.1.0*

Comment expliquez vous l’argent II disparaît dans les comptes? Pour se connecter il faut faire une prière divine. Comment avec votre rang vous n’arrivez pas à concevoir une application digne de ce nom, capable de gérer la montée de charges; avec tous les talents que vous possédez.

### 1/5 — This app is so unstable!!!

*2023-04-25, version 2.0.8*

It is shocking it is the case  for banking application. I simply can’t do anything with this and being overseas this is very frustrating. I will change bank to go to Access bank just because of this app 

Pat.

### 2/5 — Better look but too much bugs

*2023-04-14, version 2.0.8*

A chaque fois un message d'erreur apparait ("invalid token", or " external service error") apres avoir validé le OTP pour confirmer les transferts . Tres frustrant !

### 1/5 — Trop de bug et code d’erreur et impossible de faire une transaction

*2026-07-28, version 3.1.7*

C’est carrément impossible chaque fois de transférer de ma banque vers Sara, trop de code d’erreur avec l’OTP . Tous ce qui concerne le Cameroun sort toujours bizarrement

### 1/5 — Mise à jour non fonctionnelle

*2025-09-24, version 3.1.0*

La version 3.1.0 est non fonctionnelle, étant connecté on reçoit constamment un message “vérifier vos paramètres et réessayer” en plus rien ne fonctionne on ne peut effectuer aucune transaction, car “ service de porte feuille non disponible” cette mise à jour ne devais jamais aller en production.

### 1/5 — Technical fault

*2024-11-16, version 3.0.11*

My mobile app is no longer opening. I need help

### 1/5 — Trop de bugs , l’ancienne version était mieux

*2024-10-17, version 3.0.10*

C’est vraiment pas possible

### 1/5 — App not been up to date

*2024-09-13, version 3.0.10*

I love afriland but for a bank y’all gotta do better hire more tech guys to fix the app . A lot of functionalities ain’t working you can’t even check exchange rates anymore . A lot of services in there are obsolete!!! . Sometimes I fear y’all system gets hacked cause the source code is lackey

### 1/5 — Cade régional canada. +1 et non 0

*2024-07-25, version 3.0.4*

Pourquoi canada a le code téléphonique +0 au lieu de +1. On ne peut créer de compte.

### 1/5 — Décevant

*2024-05-23, version 3.0.3*

Vraiment merdique, fonctionne quand elle veut, si elle veut. C’est de l’escroquerie. À tout moment veuillez entrer vos paramètres et réessayer, une vraie connerie. Il faut chaque mois aller voir un chef d’agence pour se débloquer car l’application se verrouille toute seule dans le système

Le zoom adaptatif ne fonctionne pas, l’application s’ouvre et te regarde à l’écran, pas possible de trouver les boutons pour avancer

### 1/5 — CANT CREATE AN ACCOUNT PN SAAR

*2024-05-16, version 3.0.3*

I have an active account , but keeps denying my ID document and account number on their app when I try to open an account, poor app

### 1/5 — Trop de plantages. Le service client ne répond pas

*2023-10-07, version 2.2.7*

L’application plante beaucoup trop. Malgré les multiples plaintes, le service client ne réagit pas. Depuis une semaine, impossible de me connecter à mon compte

### 1/5 — Zero star

*2023-09-09, version 2.2.5*

This online banking app I have used is the most useless I have ever come across, and the bank itself is equally useless. Firstly, I applied for a prepaid card on November 1st, 2022, and your bank assured me that I would receive the card within two weeks. However, it has now been more than 6-7 months, and I still haven't received the card that I paid for. Every time I visit the bank to inquire about the card, they keep telling me to come back later, and your customer service representatives are extremely unfriendly and rude in their responses. 🤬🤬😡

Secondly, whenever I attempt to withdraw money using the mobile banking app, it consistently fails and prompts me to try again later. I deeply regret choosing to bank with your institution. It seems that no effort is being made to rectify this situation, so I will give it a few more months. If no improvements are made, I will be compelled to discontinue my banking services with your bank.🤬🤬

### 5/5 — pas mal

*2025-10-30, version 3.1.0*

Félicitations Afriland

*2024-11-28, version 3.0.11*

Great potential . Very large feature set! Would recommend .

### 5/5 — Innovative

*2024-05-17*

I love the constant evolution . Great traction

### 5/5 — Sara

*2024-05-10*

Lapplication est plus stable.

### 5/5 — Getting better everyday

*2023-11-13, version 2.2.9*

This app has been getting better everyday. New functionalities are added regularly and most of bugs are being eliminated.
With this app I don’t have to use call box to transfer money anymore. The connectivity with Orange Money and MTN Money is very good.
Love it.

### 5/5 — APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE

*2023-03-18, version 2.0.4*

Actually i really appreciate the developers of the Afriland app, looks like they fired the grand father developer and employed a youth, the app looks competitive now and so interesting… Looking at your account balance feels safer now 🥰🥰🥰

### 5/5 — Enfin une nouvelle application

*2023-03-07, version 2.0.2*

Finalement nous avons une nouvelle application Sara qu’il semble plus jolie et plus performante que la précédente.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-09-23, version 3.1.0*

Overall great interface and functionalities available including sending Money to loved ones through MoMo. However , OTP needs fixing , Transactions don’t appear as they occur (synchronization issue ).
For a big enterprise as  Afriland , good investment should be made towards IT to make it usage better for their large user base .

### 3/5 — OPT IS ALL A MESS

*2023-04-29, version 2.1.0*

Your OTP is all a mess it never works , you pretend we can do online transactions when it is practically impossible to do anything apart from viewing balance which is not always possible. Please work on your OPT code management for better satisfaction of customers who do not always have the time to go to you banks.

### 2/5 — Unclear Account transactions

*2023-06-25*

I will like to see my full accounts transaction details. This should be the simplest thing digital technology today. The transaction details does not appear clearly. Sometimes you only see ATM transactions. At other times you do not see account credit transactions.

Second the loan balance does not appear. That is also erratic. Online banking platform should be able to give you live experience so you can manage your account.

I don’t expect these kind of shortcomings from a bank like Afriland
