Standing ovation for the new updates 👏 👏 👏
This app has been getting updates that make it usable, convenient and fast recently. Kudos to the team. Please keep up the amazing work!
Sync failure and crush on iPhone
This app always have an issue splatter the recent patches. It used to be working with minor sync problems. Once the app is updated which forced me to do so, the application is not working at all and failing due to sync problems. Not able to make any transactions and already cost me a lot. That need to do better!! smh
Appreciation 👍
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current update is Ethiopia's first impressive banking app to date. Just keep it up and always be at forefront
Annoying sync error every time
It’s too difficult for iPhone users to use CBE banking as we face synchronization issue every time and there is no way it will be restored unless visited to the branches so annoying
Login Issue
I can’t log in after my app was automatically updated to version 6.0.6. I’m seeing a fingerprint screen that says, “Log in with your PIN and you can set up biometrics later,” but there’s no field to enter my PIN. I also can’t log in using my fingerprint. Before the update to version 6.0.6, the app worked great. It was very responsive, and the UI looked good.
Today update is not working
Not working July 03/2026
App review
Yesterday July 3, 2026 I updated the CBE iOS app. After the update, I was unable to log in using biometrics. The app displays the message: “Sign in with your PIN first. Biometrics will be set up automatically.” However, when I try to enter my PIN, the app gets stuck on the biometric screen with the fingerprint icon or not redirecting to PIN insertion Form, and there is no option to enter the PIN. Please investigate and help resolve this issue. August 4 2026 System Improvement Request The current screenshot function does not capture the complete page and includes unnecessary sections. Please improve the functionality by adding a Download button that enables users to download the full page directly. The download feature should work similarly to the services provided by other banks, such as BOA and Awash Bank.
Mr.
Hello The latest update has issue with switching preferences between pin code and biometrics. Also it is not fetching the last ten transactions to be visible in some accounts. This specific issue begins from July 1st 2026.
Hmmm
Doesn’t work
Changes on AppStore
Change the pictures on the App Store other than drop update 🤙
Finally doing great
After update everything looks fine
eA
Sync Failed
Needs improvement for Apple users
The app is very nice and convenient but for iPhone users we have to go to the bank to reset every other month so please improve that and maybe add max amount for other bank transfers.
App stopped working for weeks
I used this app frequently for the past two years but stopped working recently. Not able to transfer, add beneficiaries or do any banking except looking at balances. Please FIX!
bank account history
please fix saving account number for history of previously transferred accounts
benevolent
It's 10 times better than the Westerns?
It actually the most frustrating app ever to have
The bank office is the worest they have a lot of customers and no customer service no professionalism and when it comes to the app it won’t work more than 1 month straight and I will have to go the bank to fix it and like I told u where u trying to go there is no work ethics so how will u want go there I hate it
Mr
Hey
Poorly designed
It keep on crashing every 2 month. The clear cache feature stopped working. Now I have to to the bank and fill a form and wait in line to get it resolved. It’s just a waste of time. Hire a good iOS developer! The current developer has failed to make a smooth app. This is important digital banking app. There should be no room for crashes!! And the bank should allow users to reset it on the app it self and generate new code without the new to visit beaches and waste time by filling forms etc…the bank is still backward on the digital age!!!
4 digit password
There should be 4digit password must be option
CBE
Excited ! on PIN Change feature, well done !
About Transactions
It shows little like 10 transactions fix it
Please update
The application needs timely update. Please add mini statements at least for a month.
Please solve
Generally speaking, the app worked well that provided me the comfort of receiving bank service wherever I am and at anytime. However, in the past two months, the app failed to work and I was obliged to use the alternative method (USSD). I went to my branch and they said other iPhone users are also facing such problem. They fixed it; worked for about one or two weeks and failed again. Please fix this problem the soonest possible (hoping that you will read this review).
Mini statment
May we have a mini transactions statement at list 30days? Appreciated!
Andom
Berhe
It is not working
The updated app is not working properly required PIN but their is no keyboard to enter PIN
Verification
The app could be programmed for customer to verify their identity in the circumstances where they forgot their old password and and needed to upload with a new password.
No way to display or download a statement
Only the last few transaction listing is available to view on the app. This is silly, we should be able to download statement without going to a bank branch (with poor services)
Transaction History
I really admire, appreciate and grateful for the effort you have been putting to enhance the user experience. Apart from that one thing I really appreciate if you also put a significant effort to work on transaction statement, this app can only has few transaction history. Having transaction history without going to a branch in person and waiting for long queues, would be very beneficial and time saving for the customers. The last one is the application crashes in three or four weeks for some of the IPhone users, for example mine is IPhone XR, which hasn’t been considered vintage by the company but the application stops functioning in two to three weeks. This has happened recently( two months) after your last update. I do have plenty of transitions on a daily basis. This would make life seamless for me. Please, Thank you for the consideration!
It’s didn’t work
I don’t know why it’s didn’t work
Incompetent and lack of tech management
You should test the application before releasing the updates, with more than 30M customers such errors are not acceptable. Only focusing on collecting charges cannot make you stay in the business, try introducing some technologies that even simple fintech companies are using years back. In the age of AI and smart banking, CBE cannot even help the customers use simple banking transactions in a critical time. Shame in you.
When I delete the app and reinstall it doesn’t delete the app data
I changed aim cards so my current pin doesn’t work and now I need to re-enter the verification key but I can’t because it doesn’t delete the data on the app but when it works it’s a good app !!!
Payment to beneficiary is not working
After the last update the payment to beneficiary does nit work. It gets you through to the last step to not work. As I use the beneficiary feature a lot, this is a very bad user experience issue. It has been a long time since this bug appeared and I have not been using the app to transfer money to other people after that.
Bugs
On the iphone version, there are some bugs needed to be fixed Like verification is harder on IOS, syncing is slow and some other bugs, other than than its all great
Excellent
Excellent
The able to access pin entry box
The field is hidden and I’m unable to enter my pin
Limited functionality
The app is good but it is not great. There are many functionalities missing. There are only limited options compared to what other mobile banking applications allow users.
It crashed badly
It has been working fine till it suddenly crashed one day. I did everything in my capacity to get the app back. I did a hard reset, I uninstalled and then reinstalled it to no avail. I even fully reset my phone to get rid of the problem. It seems that there is no solution unless, of course, I change my phone!
Mr
Mulugeta
Issue to login
I had setup the app for biometrics on previous version and after updating I couldn’t sign in because the app locked with biometrics
App
The app needs improvement as it’s to deal with money. Transactions should be faster and accurate at any time of the day.
Update needed
App is solid WHEN it works. Iphone users often run into trouble especially with the latest IOS updates. Please fix this! Otherwise good app. Does everything required for everyday use.
Straightforward to use
Happy customer
System crash
Your latest update (Version 6.0.6) is not working properly on iOS. Specifically, I am running iOS version 26.5, and the application is requesting that I enter a PIN to proceed, but it does not provide the option or keyboard to actually input it.
App stop working after recent changes
Recently, I was asked to upgrade and the message appear on home page. When I click the button to upgrade, nothing happen. The app now doesn’t work. It is just showing the upgrade message. I have uninstalled and installed again but still the same. You need to have look at it
Should update some futures
At list one week statement have to be shown and after using a pin code it automatically logs out if you use other functions please try to upload thank you
