Ratings and reviews

Haina mambo mingi but has transaction costs mingi, I have deposited on the app .FYI you cannot withdraw Lock savings at all untill the period you stated, great....I was just trying to see if I may have a loan limit so I locked some cash kwa savings but my money is stuck kimchezomchezo😭 for 12 months...Now I cannot withdraw my cash because of another transaction fee...wow!

A couple of bugs to be fixed before the app is perfect. The loading times are unacceptable. Links take a second or two to respond, and for those of us who use gesture controls, closing the app is abysmal! Also noticed that zidisha withdrawals now require 24hrs in order for the request to be fulfilled!? Nevertheless, I like the addition of lipa na Mpesa and finger print authentication.

Good morning... Repaid loan after a default...it's about 7 yrs.. can I be able to access future loans with timiza...Noticed too my profile reads at 92percent... could there be some information missing for it to be 100 percent.. contacted you through the email... yet to receive a tangible feedback
