What other users are saying about Chipper Cash App

This reviews are from the play store users on the android app;

Iyke Nwofoke wrote, “This app is one of the best I have used. The interface is so user friendly such that even a novice can easily understood the operation. I Use it for most of my quick transactions online and it has been working for me. But recently noticed a change in the initial bank account issued to me without notifying me about the sudden modification of that, and that was a bad experience so far! Nevertheless, I still recommend this app to everyone looking for a good online mobile bank app.”

Richson Braimah wrote, “This App is very reliable for finances. It works effectively in payment of bills. The options on display comes really handy. The only problem is the resolution of queries. You can not contact their customer service via phone (since there’s no phone number displayed on the App). And when you send message on a problem like a failed transaction, the response to your message takes over 3 hours or more to come.”

Aaronflexy wrote, “Great app with active support team. The app is super easy to use. But please add a button to remove beneficiary after cash out. I have lot of bank details in my cash out list. I might mistakenly cash out to the wrong account details. And again, the transactions are too public; at least there should be a page for transactions called “transaction history” to see your transactions…but this one they just appear in the main page of the screen after login.”
