Lyon Taiwo wrote. “The Quickteller App is absolutely spot on in my humble opinion. I’ve always used it for Bills Payment and it has never disappointed. Maybe some failed transactions once in a while but I believe they have made massive improvements to reduce or curb these few glitches. I don’t know about funds transfer because I have never tried it.”
Ibitoye Temitope wrote, “I repaid my loan this morning, using the Quickteller app on my mobile phone. The transaction went through as my bank account was debited. But I’m yet to receive message from Quickteller that the money has been received. Yet the loan is still active in the app. What do I do, please?”
