Discovery Bank Customer Insights

1. Review I left here about it has somehow disappeared so can't even go back and edit it with an update that it's STILL not sorted out but I have reference nrs to prove how many times I've calledHaving the points and rewards system moved to discovery bank is alright but can we be able customise the home screen according to our own preference.

2. Very disappointed and can't do anything at all.I am disgusted in the Discovery service- since switching the rewards over to the banking app it hasn't worked, and I've been trying to sort it out for months without success or much help from Discovery.

3. Truly disappointed by this app and the poor service I received from Discovery bank.You guys need to sort out the miles spending experience.

4. This is immensely irritating if you are trying to pay someone and have to navigate to another app like Whatsapp to copy an account number only to be logged out of banking.....meaning you have to o through the entire, and painfully secure, login process again.

5. Unfortunately Discovery bank has not been helpful in getting this issue resolved.

6. Simply trying to get a smoothy is a bloody rollercoaster, jumping from the discovery app to bank app.

7. I am afraid that I will accumulate monthly bank charges without using the bank account.

8. Now my rewards are part of the gameboard and it's up to luck?? I'm not understanding what the reason for this is? How is that fair or what am I missing? I am rarely choosing the tiles with the biggest rewards from my highest value "tiles".

9. Im considering closing my bank account, because I cannot access it.

10. I absolutely love that the Bank has added the flight/accommodation/car hire booking feature.

11. Highly frustrated as I am unable to transact on my bank account.
