FAQ 1: Is Payday app legit?

Pay Day is a reliable digital payment system aimed at providing a smooth flow of cash from one location to another. Currently the app can be accessed on both Android and Apple, with over 100 thousand downloads and over 3 thousand reviews on Google PlayStore.

With an uttermost sincerity, the app (platform) has great services it renders but may have given little attentions to their 100 percent customer satisfaction because this app has less than 3 star rating on Play Store with loads of reviews,

Here is a list of reviews from the current Android users;

1. Seamless up until recently. But i guess the bugs have been fixed. I have a problem with the virtual cards though. First, after high volume of transactions, the balance doesn’t reflect the correct amount in my account. Secondly i would like the addition of a “delete card” feature please. Or overall being able to create new cards. I understand these things take time as a new product. Happy to revisit my review when it is done. Thanks by Mujahid Shuaib

2. It started out well. Until it was not anymore. After I funded my account well for the payment I wanted to make. I put in my card details, transaction declined twice. The app notified transactions declined due to insufficient balance. But, I had more than enough😭. 2. I ignored your very high exchange rates and decided to try because I saw the virtual mastercard card. It was a big mistake. 3. I started a chat nothing. I emailed no response. At last I used another App, a Visa card delivered well by Harriet Onyedibe

3. Had an unpleasant experience when I tried to use the app the first time. I waited till the next day and it became a pleasant and a seamless one. Payday came in clutch for me so I’d rate them highly. I guess the initial problem was system overload. If they scale up, they’d have a good thing going by Nick Ajumuka
