This app's actually great. Banking experience is nice and affordable. The only frustrating thing is whenever you quit the app, you're signed out automatically. By the time you return to the app, rather than just unlocking it, you're asked to re-sign. Please do something. Another thing is there's no 'Transfer Money from Bank Account To M-pesa', but only EcoCash. Apart from that, everything's under control.

worst App I have ever used, I wouldn't choose Standard bank as a bank, worst service, even when you call them, they put you on hold for more than 30 min and hang up on you. Last night I tried to access my account through mobile app to send my son money for transport i couldnt do that, the app all of a sudden kept requesting that I verify my email address with a code sent to the email, which everytime I went to my emails to get the code to put on the app, the app is off, it was aback and forth

The most unstable of all major banking apps. It chooses when it wants to work. For some unknown reason the credit account data is 0 on the dashboard whenever it feels like, usually late at night or early morning, been this way for years now. Half the time lotto just says please wait and then doesn't load, in the middle of day. More recently the sign in button just leads to the swirling loading circle, and never actually gets to the PIN/biometrics, and it's getting worse every version. Sickening.
