Scam….Stay Away From

Applied a few days ago, and found out today that they were “unable to verify my identity”, after sending my ID. The whole point of sending in the ID was to do just that. This has become a common bait and switch with banks, and these “financial technology companies” . Apply, and then asked to upload ID under the pretense of “ one last step before approval”, you do then they’ve got your information and then they deny you. What do you have??? Nothing except knowledge that your information was potentially compromised. This is how identities are stolen. These people state “ they won’t tell you what information was used”, even though it’s your right to that information. It’s time to take a stand. These people are trash. We should work together for a class action suit.

DO NOT SIGN UP

They do not have any support and they won’t stop billing my credit card nor payout. They initially paid out, but I haven’t gotten a payout in months. Calling my credit card to stop future transactions and dispute the rest.

What a waste of time

I got my first payout and was excited to see the app actually work and then when the second round came to payout it never did so I put in 100 and can’t take out any… customer service? No… I’ve been waiting in the chat for 3 weeks for someone to respond. I wrote another review hoping for a response that way but since I only gave them one star I think it got deleted… go figure

Save for Your Home Downpayment!

If you are dreaming of buying a new home, this app can help you to set up a realistic savings plan and get you there faster than on your own. I signed up months ago and it has worked well. I save each week and it’s fun to realize how quickly my balance grows. I recommend getting on the app and on your way!

SAWA IS THE WAY TO GO

Sawa is more than just a savings app; they are currently assisting me with a down payment for my home. Unlike most companies, I was able to speak with Charles Phillips, the CEO of Sawa, who was extremely helpful in assisting me with a down payment for my home. Thank you Charles and thank you Sawa.

Community Building ❤️

This is a great idea for an app, I love the community pot of money in the middle to help each other and tap into community when we all need it most. I also love saving with Sawa, they make it so easy and fun.

Great App

This is the best new app I’ve used. I’ve used Sawa for six months now and it’s one of my favorite financial apps I have on my phone. I’ve saved over $400 without even noticing that I’m putting money away and I have gotten 5 large payouts. You get paid for points that you earn in the app and you can redeem the points for immediate cash. I can’t wait for the credit building card to come out because I need help with my credit 🙏🏽

Innovative and Community-Focused Finance App

I’ve been using SAWA and it’s a game-changer in managing personal finances. Its standout feature is the ‘Community Pot,’ promoting a supportive saving culture. The ‘Sawa Missions’ make financial tasks rewarding, and the ‘Community Chat’ is great for sharing tips and building connections. The ‘Sawa Savings Wheel’ gamifies saving, encouraging better financial habits. SAWA isn’t just an app; it’s a community-driven tool that makes finance management engaging and supportive.

Help!

I need some help I recently had problems with the app where it wouldn’t load right, to which, I contacted support and they said they would look into it. I never heard back from them after that.. so eventually I got the app to load properly and have updated it but for some reason it won’t let me go past the enroll flow section even though, before I started having problems with it, I had already filled all that out and had already made two $10.00 payments. I was able to cash out the first payment but the app crashed when I was only a few days away from getting my $100.00 payout. Needless to say, I was unable to receive my $100.00 payout and was wondering if you guys could help because I have already paid two weeks into this and only received one payout. Thanks.

Nope

Thought this was a cool app at first, but they took my money weekly totalling $110 and then closed my account because their Astra verification system kept freezing and wouldn’t allow me to submit anything. Instead of helping me fix it they just shut my account and kept my money. Do not recommend.

Been here since the start

I actually have been here since the App was in its testing stage and was only advertised. 1st the basis of this app is to SAVE , the $10 a week is saved until you reach $100 then sent to you either by cash app or debit card. So I would highly RECOMMEND using the email address and phone number associated with your cash app when signing up. 2. Yes, there have been some issues as the app is VERY 😬knew. I received all bonuses and reached out to customer support when I didn’t receive 1 bonus and it was sent to my cashapp the next day. 3. Once I reached $100, funds where deposited into the bank associated with my debit card I added to the app. 4.Awesome that it allows you to earn points for making your SAVINGS deposit on TIME.👈🏼 Once you accumulate enough points you can ELECT to cash out to yourself OR deposit to community bank which allows for loans, ect.

Now with this being said if you CAN NOT commit to saving $10 a week don’t 🛑sign up. As with all bonus programs a certain amount has to be deposited and the account has to remain open for a certain period of time in order to receive bonuses. Don’t leave a bad review due not reading or understanding the program itself. This IS NOT a SUBSCRIPTION. Nor an OPPORTUNITY to do a Sign up and close account turnover for profit opportunity.

If you NEED $20 that bad , there are other options that I am fairly sure you can explore to receive that. 😒😒

Swindled

This app seems to be nothing more than a poorly developed but well presented tactic to swindle desperate folks out of whatever possible.
Not only do payments seem to not go out, the vast majority of features are unavailable, deposited funds are not reflected in the app, and the “support” is actually just a personal cell number you can text.
They actually request you make deposits by sending money to a cashapp account when they have “technical errors”.
Waiting to hear about the inevitable lawsuit against the developer, and frankly shocked that apple has allowed this scheme on the App Store.

This is a scam

There’s no pay out. They take your money and give you the run around. Canceled my account but no refund no promised 20$. Avoid!
