### 3/5 — Card balance disappeared

*2026-06-10, version 2.41.2*

The app went through significant improvements but it looks like with the latest release it is not showing the card balance anymore. Links to “report a problem” does not work

### 4/5 — Not receiving payment approval notifications

*2025-11-17, version 2.37.6*

I’m no longer receiving payment approval notifications in the app. Notifications are enabled. Is this  known  issue?

### 3/5 — À good App but a important limitation

*2025-08-25, version 2.36.4*

Å good App easy to use with cards which are added in an automated way by AECS. But a limitation which makes the use of credit card dangerous: there is no way to fix a limit to the expenses as it is the case, e.g., with Credit Mutuel or Banco Sabadell. When the bank gives you a credit limit of , e.g., 3’000, you can fix the expense limit to 1’000 thus limiting the risk of large financial impact in case of fraud. The bank should even offer a better protection with an insurance to those customers actively using such a possibility

### 2/5 — Moltissimi Bug

*2025-07-25, version 2.36.1*

L’app ha un problema un giorno si l’altro pure!
Peccato, potete fare di meglio

### 3/5 — Can’t print!

*2022-09-19, version 2.14.1*

Some of my purchases need to be expensed. It would be great to be able to print all details so I can get my money back from the company. Why not add that feature?  All details of all purchases should be available to be printed or downloaded. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Prob with app

*2022-06-08, version 2.12.1*

Sorry show pin code not working when I need it

### 1/5 — Ca ne fonctionne pas

*2022-05-09, version 2.11.0*

Does not work well .. 
needs to be modernised

### 1/5 — Review

*2022-03-25, version 2.10.0*

Terrible- so un-user friendly. Takes so long to do anything. Getting into the app is “hit and miss” , and I use apps on my phone a lot!

### 3/5 — Ok but needs improvement

*2022-01-17*

It’s good to have all the information in one app vs previously where one had to log on to the website however:
- the lack of download/export functionality drastically limits the use of all the transaction
- one has to wait until the pdf is available to have a “workable” overview of all the expenses (and I’m not mentioning the impossibility of copy/pasting that in a spreadsheet) so not really helpful 
The app has been out for a while but it looks like this key feature is constantly ignored from new releases

### 1/5 — Schöne App wenn

*2021-07-10, version 2.7.0*

sie denn mal funktioniert. Ich brauche eigentlich nur ab und an mal eine Information über meinen Kontostand. 
Meistens funktioniert die App nur, wenn überhaupt, nach teilweise mehrmaligem Neustart des Telefons. Es werden keine SMS verschickt um die Anmeldung zu verifizieren oder kommen zu spät und sind dann natürlich ungültig. Das Freischalten per TouchID hat eigentlich nur nach der Einrichtung der App funktioniert. Die www Seite war besser. Eine vernünftige Übersicht und eine funktionierende Freischaltung des Zugangs…
Wenn ich das vergleiche mit der ING Diba App die noch nie solche Probleme hatte und die einen wirklichen Nutzen hat wie Überweisungen, Daueraufträge usw. kann ich leider nur sagen: richtet bitte wieder die Website ein und schmeißt das Dingen hier aus dem Store.

### 1/5 — Complete disaster

*2021-06-14, version 2.6.1*

Password reset does not work, helpline without a clue how to fix the problem. Waisting my time to fix a buggy app developed by amateur coders. To add insult to injury the web portal of Swisscard has been deactivated so I have to call the customer service with no avail as they are clueless. Cancellation forthcoming.

### 1/5 — Désastreux

*2021-06-12, version 2.6.1*

Le site Web marchait très bien. Quel intérêt de migrer vers une application pour produire une bouse pareille... C'est L'occasion de migrer vers un autre service ! Complètement pathétique 😩

### 3/5 — Keine Geldeingange

*2021-06-09, version 2.6.1*

Leider sind eingezahlte Geldbeträge nicht sichtbar, so dass nie der tatsächliche Verfügungsrahmen stimmt.

### 1/5 — Automatically Deactivated Paperless Statements

*2026-03-10, version 2.40.0*

Terrible service! App deactivated the paperless statements after an update! A shame! Now I have to pay 1.95CHF in "paper handling fees"! You don’t say 🙄 Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Worst credit card app ever

*2025-09-20, version 2.37.2*

Full of errors and bugs. It never works, it’s so frustrating

### 1/5 — I’m out!

*2025-05-19, version 2.30.1*

This latest version is for iOS 16. It is wrong to assume we all have the latest phone & run iOS 16.  The developer should have a) checked to see how many customers have  this iOS beforehand, and b) continued to provide the previous version for people like me that don’t have iOS 16 compatible phones! I am locked out of the app & can’t authorize payments…I’m closing my relationship with you Swisscard (AMEX) unless you reinstate the previous version!

### 1/5 — DSW

*2025-02-22, version 2.31.1*

Tried to register by iphone and dsw platform would not let me exit to read the SMS code (doh!).
So entered and registered card via ipad.
Then entered my account to read details- the dsw sends me another code on my phone…. then asks “did you receive this code on this machine (ie the ipad) or a different one.”
When I press “a different one” dsw shuts me down and says call the helpline.
This is not just daft, it is stupid.
Does no developer ever check his own work?

### 1/5 — Incorrect information

*2024-08-30, version 2.28.0*

Does not provide accurate information

### 1/5 — Inaccessibile

*2024-08-12, version 2.27.1*

Inserisco tutti i dati giusti della mia carta e l’app comunica “i dati del titolare sono errati” d non si può più proseguire

### 1/5 — Platinumpreis ohne Platinumapp

*2024-04-03, version 2.25.1*

Die App bietet so wenig Funktionen trotz Platinum Karte. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie man sich trauen kann, das so anzubieten

### 1/5 — From last century

*2023-12-10, version 2.23.2*

As it is custom in Switzerland this bank also refuses to release a real banking app. Instead you need to call them when they decide again to block your card for no reason…

### 1/5 — Passwortmanager funktioniert nicht

*2023-01-18, version 2.16.1*

Ich kann meinen Passwort Manager nicht nutzen um mich zu registrieren! Das ist sehr schade und sorgst dafür das ich alles manuell eingeben muss…

### 1/5 — Riesen Müll

*2022-11-25, version 2.16.0*

Passwörter lassen sich nicht kopieren, hier schwingt sich wieder ein völlig weltfremdes Entwicklerteam auf, den Nutzer vor sich selbst mit gesteigerter Nutzunerunfreudlichkeit zu beschützen. Wie ich das hasse.

### 5/5 — Eine tolle App

*2025-12-17, version 2.38.0*

Selten eine so tolle übersichtliche und funktionale App von einer Bank gehabt. Klare Empfehlung. Auch der Kundenservice ist absolutTop ! 5 Sterne von mir.

### 5/5 — Amex

*2025-01-11, version 2.30.0*

You can use my referral code to receive more point (75’000 MR) 

FA5DBV5VR

If you apply for an amex platinum use my code .

### 5/5 — Very reliable and not expensive

*2023-10-20, version 2.21.1*

I le recommande this card to anyone

### 5/5 — Great service

*2022-09-03, version 2.14.1*

Unmatched app great people on the phone super safe and secure

### 5/5 — Papierrechnung deaktivieren

*2022-06-05, version 2.12.1*

App läuft super Sehr zufrieden Tipp für User unter Einstellungen-Service Rechnungsstellung PDF wählen Grundeinstellung ist Papierrechnung, kostet jeden Monat 1.95 CHF Wäre gut man würde beim Einrichten der App gefragt wie man die Rechnung möchte.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-05-10, version 2.11.0*

It’s a very friendly and easy to understand for a new comers .
Thank you

### 5/5 — Fais très bien le boulot

*2021-05-11, version 2.6.0*

Conforme à la description. Elle fait le job et le fait bien. Rien à redire. Parfait complément de mes cartes de crédits de Swisscard

### 5/5 — Tut was sie soll und läuft stabil auf IOS

*2021-03-26, version 2.4.1*

Bin echt überrascht über die vorherigen Kommentare. Bei mir auf meinem iPhone mit neustem IOS funktioniert die App ohne Probleme und tut genau das was sie gesagt haben. Hatte bisher keinerlei Probleme...,

### 5/5 — Gute App - intuitiv

*2020-12-17, version 2.2.1*

Bietet alles was ich brauche

### 5/5 — Worst card / banking app

*2020-07-26, version 2.0.0*

Have tried to register numerous times across 3 days. Technical errors each time,  a total of 4+ hours wasted. How do you expect to drive digitalisation when your shoddy app makes it impossible to register your card. Very poor.
