### 1/5 — Viewing documents is broken

*2023-04-25, version 7.1.0-45*

If youre lucky you may get the app to show you your settlement quotation. Most of the time it doesnt work. And when it does, it shows you the document from the same effective date every time even if you change the date. Embarrassingly bad.

### 1/5 — Selfie Process Broken

*2023-02-25, version 7.0.6-44*

It wants you to nod your head, but then takes a random picture half way through the movement resulting the verification failing.

### 1/5 — Very useless

*2022-11-24, version 7.0.5-44*

Extremely useless. Pointless to have this app. Same as FNB App, there’s no point in installing this useless one. Just an absolute waste of time!

### 1/5 — Communication problem

*2022-09-29, version 6.1.9-42*

To be able to use the app you need to phone a number to get it activated. I spent more than 20min to get an answer and gave up.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-09-28, version 6.1.9-42*

I enter my ID number and it says it is invalid … definitely entered it correctly

### 1/5 — Waste of data

*2022-05-04, version 6.1.6-42*

Cannot login whatsoever, the app keeps on asking me to go to an atm to activate with my fnb car even though i am not an fnb client only financed my car through them

### 1/5 — Complete rubbish

*2021-07-01, version 6.0.8-37*

Does not work. Can’t get past apply for finance page. Also can’t load vehicle details and proceed. Who QA’d this app???

### 1/5 — Profile needs activation

*2021-04-16*

Installed the app on my IPhone but can’t use it.  When I login there is a message saying your profile needs activation, phone App Support.  There is a App Support phone number but if you call it’s not App Support. Desktop access works fine though.

### 1/5 — Still not able to register

*2021-04-14, version 6.0.4-36*

Even after the recent version 6.0.4-36 update the app still does not allow me to register, consistently telling me my account number is invalid. I have had this account number for 25 months now, clearly there is bug in the onboarding process.

### 1/5 — Extremely poor on boarding process

*2021-04-08, version 6.0.3-36*

I can honestly say that I have never experienced such a poor registration and onboarding process before, anywhere. I am not an FNB customer and trying to download and register on the Wesbank app was the worst possible experience.

### 1/5 — Want my location

*2020-11-16, version 5.8.8-34*

I deleted this app because it needed my location to register this app.

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2020-10-26, version 5.8.8-34*

Got email to use the app. 
Sorry but it's unavailable.
Wtf. Why go u ask then.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-01-08, version 7.17.0-59*

I keep getting an error message just trying to set up my login with no explanation as to what is wrong. User journey is awful. Can’t believe a huge financial institution is this backwards in 2026.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-06, version 7.17.0-59*

Not sure if Wesbank fired all their developers, but the only thing that is worse than this app is their website.

### 1/5 — Car finance

*2025-08-29, version 7.15.2-57*

Continuously get errors when trying to do car finance through the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience

*2025-08-13, version 7.15.2-57*

Why does it need to be so awful to use???

### 1/5 — Try another vehicle finance app - WesBank doesn’t quality test its app.

*2024-11-18, version 7.11.0-53*

Brand new phone with all the latest updates and app doesn’t work first time. Just keeps asking me to complete the same information over and over again.

### 1/5 — Useless and appalling

*2024-06-27, version 7.10.1-52*

The whole point of this app is that it should allow the user a hassle free experience and to have the required information at hand whenever needed. Get new software engineers.

### 1/5 — Unable to register

*2024-06-15, version 7.10.0-52*

When I try to register it prompts for a username, my input is then rejected which seems that I already have an account. I then have to reset my username but is then asked for my password. 
I did not even know I had an account, how am I to guess these details on less than 3 tries.

### 1/5 — Pretty useless…

*2024-02-24, version 7.7.1-49*

Can’t get login details 🤷‍♀️

Selfie process always fails first time. If your passwords don’t match, you need to start from the very beginning…and when you finally get to the end, it just says system offline.

### 1/5 — Apply function unserviceable

*2024-01-14, version 7.7.0-49*

Each time I try use the apply for finance function it gets stuck on the page asking for consent  to communicate with credit bureaus.
Hopefully this app has not tarnished my credit record by re-attempting this function without any joy

### 1/5 — Not working AGAIN

*2023-08-27, version 7.2.0-46*

the app is like FNBs. NEVER works properly.

### 5/5 — FNB/ WESBANK APP

*2023-11-24, version 7.7.0-49*

What an efficient initiative! Keep on leading the market with your innovative techs.

### 5/5 — Well done FNB

*2020-10-26*

Excellent app!!!!!

### 3/5 — App is ok.

*2020-10-29, version 5.8.8-34*

App is snappy. Problem is the app try’s to integrate with your FNB app. Which is annoying as your FNB app might want you to verify your device again. Like mine. 
I personally would not install this app again based on the inconvenience of having to activate my device (for the 3rd time) verses the features.

### 2/5 — So disappointed

*2024-09-23, version 7.11.0-53*

What a terrible APP

### 2/5 — Useless

*2024-04-01, version 7.8.1-50*

Can log in but none of the functions are available

### 2/5 — Could not login

*2023-02-24, version 7.0.6-44*

I have two cars purchased through Wesbank. The app requires a card and a visit to an ATM before you can load your profile. I do not have a card. Confusing!
