Ratings and reviews

Frustrating, I have used this app for years to transfer funds and to access my credit account to make my payment. All of a sudden, the interface no longer shows my credit account balance and payment due. It took me several minutes to dig through the different menus before I found my credit account to schedule my payment. Very bad customer service, PayPal. Almost like you want us to miss payments. Please fix this.

They put a hold on what was supposed to be an instant transfer for 4 days, forcing me to pay the individual in cash. The pending payment was impossible to cancel through PayPal, So I had to call my bank and put a stop payment on it, which cost $20. 4 days later they said that the transfer didn't go through and removed my bank account from my wallet. And then they complain about a pay in for payment not going through. It's infuriating, And they have no actual people for support, only a useless ai

Keeps screwing me over. I've used the pay in 4 option so much, I rely on it for some bills, and I've only missed a payment twice, and only by a few hours at most. Both times, it locks me out of the option, killing my ability to do anything. Worst part about the recent time, I had money in my account, I don't know why it denied my payment, but now I can't use the feature and it's making it impossible to do anything. This payment app sucks
