Ratings and reviews

Every single time, it asks to enable biometrics for future logins even though I do that multiple times. When I try to do pawn settlements, the transaction always fails. Also, why would you ask to set a pin for every session if the user can set the fingerprint or a biometric as well? It's either one or the other. Also, the Vishwa web app responsive view is so bad. You can't see some buttons to confirm transactions.😪 Not going to lie, the app has come a long way, but QA is not done properly.

Their security measures are a pointless hassle. Why do we need to enter the password and create a pin on the app every time and enable biometrics when it's enabled already? If I have enabled biometrics already, I should be able to log in using that (the whole point of using the app, for convenience), not to enter the password every time and enable biometrics, so useless. And it doesn't show the credit cards unless you keep reloading it, so annoying, worst banking app I have tried honestly.

The Sampath app is becoming more irritating day by day. Especially when I try to use it outside Sri Lanka, it’s not user-friendly and is always either loading or showing error messages whenever I try to transfer money. Also, we have to enter the PIN multiple times to log in and complete a transaction. I understand that this is for privacy reasons, but the number of times the app logs you out is insane. Please fix these problems, Sampath Bank. You used to be very tech-savvy and fast.
