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.
