You guys are nothing but shameless scams

Fool after I link my bank I wasn’t able to access it again. Stay clear from this app guys but I’ve changed my details from the bank and change my password. This app is a SCAM

This is suspicious!

If you want to apply for a loan it says you should link your bank in which you'll have to press the Passcode of your online banking, I did that and I noticed my acct was logged on a oukitel c15 phone, that seems sketchy or scam!!! Beware newbies

Complain bout loan

I took a loan on this app and I’ve paid but it’s still showing that I haven’t paid, I hope y’all aren’t expecting me to pay another money tho because I can’t and if anything happens to my other bank account trust me I will report y’all

Scam

I deposited 3,500 into my Umba account and you scam haven’t credit me yet. I’m really disappointed with your poor service

I am trying to reactivate my account and is showing me verifying already, please I need help

I am trying to reactivate my account and is still showing verifying please I need a customer support
