Terrible experience with apps customer support that left me wanting to switch banks asap . I found out I was locked outta my account and told to contact customer support so I goggled the number and when I called then it gave 3 options none of which related to my issue then it told me to contact them thru in app chat which I did , took 6 hrs to hear back from them & was told i needed to send in a pic of my id & pic of me holding my id which I immediately did and still no response over 18 hrs late

LOVE, but why did they move the joint account to the bottom of the side menu???
Been using since 2018 and i love it! i especially love the joint account feature, because it helps my girlfriend and i share joint expenses and budget (without all the fear of scary bank language & legal stuff). recently we started using the savings goal feature and i really enjoy the organization of it, however editing the goal after creating it seems to be a no-go. the edits never save and sometimes even reappear after i swear i've deleted?? or i pause them and then they unpause on their own and take money out -causing me to panic when i see my balance 😂. i would also love the option to upload your own photo for the savings goal! Something i'm really frustrated by is a recent update which moved the location of the spot to switch between personal account and joint accounts… i hate it.so.much. the first day i opened the app after the update i was worried the joint feature had actually been discontinued because it wasn't where it normally was and i had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page past all the settings to find it? seem like weirdest most unnatural location, i would really like it to go back to where it was. all that said, i do honestly LOVE this app, otherwise i wouldn't use it! my paycheck goes to it and i actually get paid a day earlier than everyone else at my job 🎉. the credit building has been super helpful, and i love all the perks! it has definitely improved over the years as well which has encouraged me to use it as my main “bank” - just some weird kinks for the developers to figure out i think! 🫶

Just horrible experience no customer service. The answers we receive are no different from what a robot could give. Do not try their products it is a scam, they make samples without consent and you can not make a claim.

Impossible to chat with someone the function is no longer there. We can just chat with a computer that answers us in English. Unable to talk on the phone either I have not received my pay and unable to know what is happening. I'm starting to lose confidence in Koho big lack of customer service

Can you update so that the "switch to Mastercard" pop-up every time I open the app goes away already? And is not always pointed on the top of the screen anymore? It's annoying, I want to open the app to my bank, not a whole set of "premium plan ads" and "Mastercard switch reminders" to x before I can even see the homepage. Please.

Staring to become shady
I use to love this app because it would block payments if you didn't have enough money stored on the app which is useful if you forgot to unsubscribe from Amazon prime, Netflix, or whatever but now it doesn't do that anymore. It'll give you backdraft now, even when you haven't accepted their 50$ cover thing and there's no way to talk to an agent about it or anybody of service because it's all automated with limited questions to get answers from. I'm sure there's interest on top of that when you gets in the negative so you're paying more to get out of it. Introduced a lot of shady practices lately.
