### 4/5 — It’s good for loan in 4 payments

*2026-08-19, version 5.3.3*

Beware of playing the games!! I can’t get help for them not tracking! Even though it shows that I should be earning from them

### 3/5 — Why so many updates

*2026-08-18, version 5.3.3*

The purpose itself is great but every week there is a new update

### 4/5 — Payment schedule

*2026-08-16, version 5.3.3*

Love this payment option wish it were monthly instead of bi-weekly but it still helps to pay over time

### 1/5 — Gotta pay now

*2026-08-16, version 5.3.3*

Love this app but being forced to pay monthly sucks. But only some pay.

### 1/5 — Update: Silence

*2026-08-14, version 5.3.3*

Have been using Sezzle with no hassles for some time now. For going on 5 days now however the app doesn’t show me my several hundred of estimated Sezzle spend, my virtual card is locked out even though all payments are up to date and there is nothing outstanding. It is not even showing the current payments on the streak counter. Did the contact through the chat that confirmed I had available spending, eventually was escalated to an actual person who can not tell me what is going on because they don’t know either and have again escalated it. Been two plus days now with no updates or replies. Starting to look at other options.

Update: After more attempts of contact to their “customer support” I finally received the response that the risk team deactivated my account, with no explanation given at all, nothing can be done, too bad. I’ve barely ever been late on payments  over the years and had a decently high available spend and they just up and decided to shut me down. Again nobody can tell my why, just a craptastic “sorry, we understand your frustration but nothing can be done.”
Thanks for nothing. I’d look elsewhere if I were you

Final update: Almost a week later they finally got back to me after I reached out to them like they said in their response on here, to review my concerns and offer better clarification…their response was it was there system that made the decision, and no member of their team, management included can change or override that decision. So basically they can’t control their own system that they created and can’t understand it’s decision making process either. You’ve been warned.

### 2/5 — Sick of the updates!!

*2026-08-14, version 5.3.2*

Every dang week you have to freaking update the app!! It’s beyond annoying at this point. I will no longer be having this app on my phone

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2026-08-14, version 5.3.2*

Despite opening and closing half many times, the app will not open and will not function on a regular basis! Very exasperating to say the least

### 1/5 — Unable to create an account

*2026-08-14, version 5.3.2*

I tried several times to create an account. Only to see message the one time code they sent me is incorrect.

### 2/5 — Customer service could be better

*2026-08-13, version 5.3.2*

Every time I contact customer service. They don’t seem to be helpful and resourceful. And as well as empathic. I work in customer service and this is not the way to communicate your customers.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-13, version 5.3.2*

They take your money and charge interest plus late fees for paying on time. I made a payment same day it was due and was charged a late fee. I called the customer service number to get the fee waived because it was on time same day. The customer service was awful. No call back from a manager and when I called in to speak with someone else for customer service I got the same unhelpful person. They are rude and disrespectful. I’m paying my balance and never going back. Buyer be warned.

### 1/5 — No

*2026-08-13, version 5.3.2*

Won’t be using sezzle after my current order is paid. Can’t use a debit or credit card to pay without a fee which makes no sense. Only bank account or if you add money to their site. Just difficult for no reason especially when Klarna and Afterpay is an option everywhere there’s just no comparison. Wish i knew this before selecting sezzle as an option but will be sure to stay away after my current order is complete.

### 3/5 — Premium Scam

*2026-08-13, version 5.3.2*

They obviously push the premium or anywhere subscription.. as soon as I signed up for Sezzle anywhere they took my limit from $500 to $200. Basically making anywhere pointless since I only have $200 in credit. So yeah thats scammy

### 1/5 — Go somewhere else

*2026-08-13, version 5.3.2*

Paying a monthly subscription service to use my purchase power is ridiculous. Especially when you can go with Afterpay or Klarna and have double the spending power with no fee to use it. I have been consistently getting charged for a premium subscription that I don’t even have. Wouldn’t even give it one star.

### 1/5 — Order

*2026-08-12, version 5.3.2*

Horrible service putting in orders and the merchant telling me that the order was never placed gave them all the information they needed and they said it was never placed still was charged on Sezzle end but the merchant confirmed no order I need my item by Monday smh won’t be using this again

### 1/5 — Worst app and customer service ever

*2026-08-12, version 5.3.2*

Had an order that turned out to be fraud and because it said it was delivered even after disputing and showing customer support that it was they are still making me pay for the order. Plus paying 20 a month is bs for getting priority customer service?? All customer service is a priority!! Even sending a message to support has not helped. Haven't responded in weeks. Do not use this app

### 1/5 — Horrible support

*2026-08-20, version 5.3.3*

Worst customer service. They owed me a return and only sent me a portion of it and did not give me my entire refund back. They just kept telling me 10 business days and nothing event happened. Good luck connecting with a real person no one ever answers.

### 1/5 — DONT DO IT

*2026-08-20, version 5.3.3*

I tried to pay $14 EARLY. It took the money, put it back in my account and charge me $35 for a late fee. Better off getting the 'Dave app'.

### 1/5 — Horrible scam

*2026-08-19, version 5.3.3*

It’s pretty much bs. It does give you a lot of buying power but you have to pay for it with ads also tricky menus that are purposely difficult so you can’t find your way around the app and get frustrated. Didn’t give up.do not use !!!

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2026-08-19, version 5.3.3*

They got more fees than the law allows! It’s a fee for everything even paying them back, when they say if you make a scheduled we’re it your bank to make you payments it’s no fees. Did all that and still being charged a fee. They have an option to load money on the app on a digital card and it’s a $4.99 to add money like!?! Get your account deleted! It’s better options out there!!

### 1/5 — Worse than a credit card

*2026-08-18, version 5.3.3*

Charge more interest than a CC and are just waiting for you to make a late payment so they can overcharge you. They offer no help and customer service will basically tell you to Buck off. If you need proof check out their BBB reviews. This company is a SCAM!

### 1/5 — Don’t use. It’s a scam

*2026-08-18, version 5.3.3*

Used to be free and was great. Then they started charging for subscriptions. You can do any purchases without the subscription. First I tried the subscription because it was only $1. Ever since I signed up for subscription I stopped receiving credit in my games. I even would start new games and they wouldn’t verify and give me credit. I’m close to my one month being up and haven’t been able to get any benefits from it. The customer service is horrible. They keep saying my issue has been escalated but they keep saying and asking for the same things and don’t fix anything.

### 1/5 — Can’t get into account

*2026-08-17, version 5.3.3*

Support will not help me get into my account. I have a new number and it will not let me change it on the app. If I could put my email in that would be easier to get into my account.

### 1/5 — Predatory

*2026-08-16, version 5.3.3*

You cannot even pay early without fees. Will NEVER USE AGAIN!

### 1/5 — Subscription to Do Anything is Stupid

*2026-08-16, version 5.3.3*

I have used Sezzle once before and had no issues. Now I have to have a subscription just to buy stuff? I find it weird that I literally used this app less than a year ago, and now I have to pay $15/month to use $200 buying power? No thanks. Will be deleting.

### 1/5 — Crazy High Late Fees!

*2026-08-16, version 5.3.3*

If you’re ever late on a payment be prepared to pay for high late fees! I was 3 days late on a 17 dollar payment and had to pay 23 dollars in late fees plus the payment that was due!

### 5/5 — Recomendado

*2026-08-18, version 5.3.3*

Ha sido de muy buena ayuda para compras y otros pagos, funciona muy facil y rapido

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-17, version 5.3.3*

I love it. It’s so convenient and it has so many stores to choose from🩶

### 5/5 — Actually make $ on Mastercard I can upload to Apple wallet

*2026-08-17, version 5.3.3*

So I play games, borrow money and pay it back, and do surveys and can easily make $10 a week for stuff I’m already doing. The last time I made $25 and immediately went and used card at gas station using the card on Apple Pay. I actually think if I can make $40-100 a month just sitting in bed at night playing games or doing surveys….why not! And just the ability to borrow $ too…it’s pretty awesome

### 5/5 — ADELSON
