### 1/5 — Lacks Flexibility, useless now.

*2025-04-28*

The new 100 SAR minimum top-up limit is absurd for an e-wallet! E-wallets are supposed to offer flexibility, not force me to load 100 SAR just to send 25 or 50 SAR to friends. It defeats the purpose of quick transfers, and many are already switching to better options. I also regret upgrading to STC Bank — it’s just an e-wallet pretending to be a bank account, with long verification steps and calls just to add people for transfers. I already have several real bank accounts and don’t need the hassle. I miss the simplicity of the original STC Pay and would gladly delete my account and re-sign up just to get it back. You’re losing users with these frustrating change.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2025-04-03, version 1.10.67*

I’ve been using this app for how many years. However, for the past 4 months money transferring from this app have been delayed. It takes 3-4 days for the money to get transferred. When you ask for the chat support, they will just tell you it will be transferred soon. With the reason of it takes 48 hours for the blah, blah. And now that I created ticket to address the issue, they said it will take 10 days for the issue to be seen. I asked to cancel the transfer and refund the money, they said it will take 10 days. And the money transfer was so urgent because it wil be used for hospitalization.

*2025-04-02, version 1.10.67*

I don’t know why what’s going on with the STC pay but whenever I make transaction it always says that my account status is not valid to perform transaction, I have also tried making STC bank account but it also says the same thing. What is going on? I have encountered this problem after I have deposited 2,091 Riyals on March 28, 2025. I’m trying to use the app to pay the necessary bills it’s been days and I don’t have any idea what to do.

### 1/5 — ليه تتحكمون بكميه الايداع

*2025-08-04, version 1.10.73*

اجبار المستخدم على ايداع مبلغ لايقل عن ١٠٠ واخذ رسوم كبيره اذا اردت ارجاع المبلغ هذي تجعلنا نهرب من تطبيقكم

### 1/5 — Worst way to grab money

### 1/5 — تطبيق للاسف تغير وصار فاشل

كان التطبيق جدا جميل و مساعدنا الان سيئ السبب فجاءة يفرض عليك حد من الأموال للإيداع قبل كان ٥٠ ثم صار ١٠٠ ثم الان ١٥٠!!!  انتم عارفين واحنا عارفين اننا نستخدم تطبيقكم تسهيل لأسلوب الحياة خصوصا مع عائلتنا و اصدقائنا  حاول شوي تفكرون في موضوع الاستدامة و تربطونها بتطبيقكم

### 1/5 — Application

*2025-07-04, version 1.10.72*

I had a problem sending my money i sent ticket and it will take 5 days for them to check it i tried contacting their custmer service but its useless still giving me unnecessary information and in the middle of the conversation he hang up on me worst customer service of my life

### 1/5 — Terrible User Experience

*2025-06-29, version 1.10.72*

Terrible app. Returns error messages that are not useful. Repeatedly rejects login attempts with no explanation

### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed with STC Pay – Untrustworthy Service

*2025-06-28, version 1.10.72*

I had a very negative experience with STC Pay. They held my funds without proper justification, causing significant inconvenience and frustration. Attempts to resolve the issue through their customer service were equally disappointing—representatives lacked the knowledge and professionalism expected from a financial service provider, and offered no real support.

If you’re considering using STC Pay, I strongly advise caution. Based on my experience, their practices raise serious concerns about trust and reliability. There are far better and more transparent alternatives available.

### 1/5 — Difficulties

*2025-05-25, version 1.10.70*

I have made the request to delete my account after bad experiences with STC PAY. I even took a photo of my id card and passport. Closing a bank account with actual banks would have been easier. I got a message that my request was approved and accepted, but my account is still there. Very unprofessional tactics. One can open an STC pay account without a passport, but can’t close it without one. A lot of Saudis don’t have passports which makes it clear that there are tactics of making the customer’s life as difficult as possible.

### 5/5 — Lagging issue

*2025-05-02, version 1.10.68*

It is very bad to find a lagging in the application and you need to logout and then login again. Furthermore, it is often getting late SMS messages when pay via STC pay or specifically when I pay my housemaid monthly salary, I have not received any SMS message since months with same issue. Good to enhance such notification quickly in this good STC pay application. Thanks.

### 5/5 — STC Pay Review – Extremely Disappointing Service

*2025-02-23, version 1.10.63*

I’ve had a terrible experience with STC Pay and would not recommend it to anyone. I have been unable to use my account for months, and despite calling their helpline since November 2024, there has been absolutely no improvement. The customer support is unhelpful and does nothing to resolve issues.

On top of that, the transfer fees are excessively high compared to other apps in Saudi Arabia, such as Tiqmo, which offer much better service at lower costs.

Overall, STC Pay has been a complete disappointment. I strongly advise against using it—there are far better alternatives out there.

تقييم STC Pay – تجربة سيئة للغاية

لقد كانت تجربتي مع STC Pay سيئة جدًا، ولا أنصح أي شخص باستخدامه. لم أتمكن من استخدام حسابي منذ شهور، وعلى الرغم من تواصلي مع خدمة العملاء منذ نوفمبر 2024، لم يتم حل المشكلة حتى الآن. الدعم الفني غير مفيد ولا يقدم أي حلول حقيقية.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، رسوم التحويل مرتفعة جدًا مقارنةً بالتطبيقات الأخرى في السعودية مثل Tiqmo، والتي توفر خدمة أفضل بتكاليف أقل.

بشكل عام، STC Pay كان تجربة محبطة للغاية، وأنصح الجميع بتجنب استخدامه، حيث توجد بدائل أفضل بكثير.
