Best banking app I’ve used

I’ve tried a few alternatives and stuck with KakaoBank. Account opening was fully digital and took minutes. No regrets switching.

Smooth from day one

I’m genuinely happy with KakaoBank. Instant transfers between users are a game changer. Account opening was fully digital and took minutes. No regrets switching. Setup took less than ten minutes.

Support is impossible to reach

Had high hopes for KakaoBank. My account was suddenly locked for a “review” for over a week. Will think twice before relying on it.

Went downhill

I’ve had ongoing issues with KakaoBank. My card was blocked abroad with no warning. A payment failed and the in-app help was useless. Hope they fix this soon. Switched from a traditional provider.

Excellent service

Opened a KakaoBank account on a whim. Free ATM withdrawals abroad saved me a fortune. Account opening was fully digital and took minutes. No regrets switching. Used across two countries so far.

Mostly fine

Using KakaoBank day to day. Cash deposits are awkward compared to a branch. It does the basics well but lacks a couple of features I want. Does the job, with caveats.

Smooth from day one

Moved from a high-street bank to KakaoBank. The app is fast, clean and never crashes for me. Instant transfers between users are a game changer. Five stars from me. Friend recommended it to me.

Decent, a few gaps

Using KakaoBank day to day. The core experience is good but phone support is missing. Most features are great, a few are region-locked. Fine for now.
