Well designed and intuitive. As at March 2, 2021 I am updating my review to reflect my better understanding of the app. Initially, I was frustrated at the hassle of loading my balance. That was me being ungrateful . Really, it is much less stressful than trekking and queueing at the ATM. I treat this as a mobile wallet for small transactions I want to quickly complete. It is perfect for that.

This app used to be good, and that's the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars. I used this in 2019-2021, and even back then, the customer service wasn't all that, but it was bearable. Upon receiving the mail of their closing, I've tried to withdraw the balance I had in my account several times on different occasions (days), and every time, my attempts have been futile.
