Ratings and Reviews
Great onboarding but card is misleading
Great oboarding experience and good UI.
One key challenge to the process is that the card isn’t fully “functional “ on day 1, it’s a little misleading. You can only purchase online on day 1 and cannot use at offline stores as apple wallet isn’t supported ? So you have to wait for the physical card to arrive before you can actually pay in stores. Also, given COVID, the mail is very slow in Hong Kong (not WeLab problem ) so it’s took over 3 weeks for my card to arrive.
Developer Response ,
Glad to know you love our app ❤ Congrats for getting the "FOUNDING MEMBER" card! Don't miss out our 8% cash rebate promotion: https://www.welab.bank/en/feature/8-cash-rebate
Quick & easy
I don’t think I ever need to go to a bank branch again! Onboarded really quickly and easy to request a card and transfer money to save immediately into a GoSave! Still want to see more features though like bill pay so I can start using it as my main bank account!
Developer Response ,
Welcome to a new world of banking! Stay tuned with us for latest update on @welab.bank Instagram! Thanks for your support🥳
Definitely one of the worse virtual banks in Hong Kong.
The account closing procedure is not painless, but forces you to talk to their customer service representative, making a simple procedure into another sales pitch, and a long winded explanation that could be done with the click of a button, the way most other account closings work.
Their advertising is also extremely misleading, with lots of fine print. If you apply for anything, be prepared that it will take much longer than usual, and that you don’t get what you want in the first place. BEWARE.
