Comments on Discovery Bank for Android

★★★★★ Quinton Joubert · Oct 6, 2026
Excellent app. The interface is smooth and the banking experience is outstanding. Rewards are fantastic if you engage in the discovery ecosystem, by making healthy and financially smart choices you get straight up cash back not to mention discounts on gym memberships etc. that save you hundreds each month. The whole "future of banking" slogan has merit to it once you try it out for a month or two and realize they are actually on to something.
★★★★★ Mathapelo Mogola · Oct 6, 2026
I love this account I can't wait to get my card right now I'm just using app 🙏 is easy, safe, reasonable ooooh I'm in love with it
★★★★★ Linda Radebe · Sep 23, 2026
I wish I knew this bank, while I was young. I would have saved easy and got back a lot
★☆☆☆☆ Linelle Bowen · Sep 20, 2026
I write this an 1 only due to the fact that I can't even get past the verification process after it asked for your phone number which I had no issue with then the only other 2 options are you verify your passport or for your South African ID which is a big problem for me due to the fact that I live in the United States, and we have a regular government ID so neither of those 2 options do me any good. So either I guess I'll just uninstall the app unless they can fix that issue
★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Merckel · Sep 21, 2026
I joined the bank to "test drive" it, and it seems like its integration with my other products (Health and Vitality) is inefficient and failed. Following a phone call to resolve the non-integration of data/info (in this digital age) left me more than frustrated and asking what is the point of joining a bank that is still in its teething phase? I'll give it 48 h and then make my exit, because that is how long it takes to get the presumed digital integration functioning.
★☆☆☆☆ Shahied Luddy · Oct 8, 2026
With this latest version of the app it does not always allow me to approve my payments! It's really wasting my time then the transaction times out on the shopping payment system. When I check in the notification history, Discovery definitely received the notification. On multiple occasions I now had to resort with just paying with a different bank's account instead!
