Users rate eNaira app low on Google Playstore
One of the users, Chinedum Emezie said he couldn't sign in despite providing the requested details correctly. He explained that the app keeps telling him his account number is incorrect, and rejected his BVN after many attempts
For Etubi Paul, the eNaira app told him that the platform can't validate his BVN details and it has encountered a problem. This happened to him after he input his Names, BVN, DOB, and Account Number.
Another complainant, Hassan Ahmed, experienced a different challenge, as the system informed him that his first name doesn't match. He requested that the sign-in process should be simplified, as the steps are too many for an average person.
