Ratings and reviews

The app's UI is very nice. Easy to find important information. But I am annoyed about the service's lack of stability. Sometimes the QR bill scanner does not work (sometimes it does). Sometimes it's not possible to login. Sometimes payments abroad fail for no discernable reason. Sometimes a payment does not appear in the paid or future payments, despite the app saying that it was created with success (appears only after fully closing and opening the app). Wish that sort of stuff would improve.

if you are looking for reliable bank, that's definitely not the one. I am not able to pay or withdraw money for the whole day now. This happened already 3 times this year, being stranded in a restaurant or a shop is definitely not a good experience. plus I emailed the support and they just don't seem to care about it...one of the worst, 0 stars.

User since 2022. Not using for investing, so I will not comment it. Installed on Samsung phone with Android. PERFECT for me, very stable, low to no fee. With the usage of Spaces, very powerful yet simple app to budget/save/plan. At first it could look very teenager oriented, but in fact very powerful feature for everyone. I have been looking for this for the last 15 years! Very supportive and reactive Support. Great statistics KPI update July2025. Great job NEON!!
