Closed Bank Accounts Still Appear In Aani

I am experiencing an issue with Aani where an old Mashreq bank account that was officially closed a long time ago still appears under the Send Money to Yourself feature as an available account. The account was closed before I even started using Aani and I never manually linked or activated this account with Aani. I have tried contacting Aani support by email but have not received a response. I also tried submitting the issue through the official website contact form but the form has technical problems and does not provide a clear confirmation after submission. Please improve the customer support process and provide a way within the Aani app to report or remove old and closed bank accounts. I would appreciate assistance in removing this closed Mashreq account from my Aani profile.

Every thing is so stupid and ugly about this app

Star is too much for this app, from the name, the logo, to the design and activation work flow, everything is stuipd, ugly and extremely un user friendly. Shame, you are even worst than the Finance house app.

Good potential, terrible implementation

This app could be something great. Unfortunately, the implementation was terrible. App crashes, lags, unresponsiveness, and lack of functionality makes it closer to useless. I hope these issues can be fixed fast.

Worst experience ever

I opened a new account on this app for their "instant transfer" that they provide, i transferred from botim through this app after i did make sure for linking it up to the ADIB account, I wanted to transfer for there but instead, out of nowhere, they transferred to mashreq card, without even telling me, and that account for that card was completely deleted long time ago!! Thats the worst step ive made, I dont even know where to complain on this app.

Needs enhancements

Keeps crashing, resetting for no reason which requires me to start the process of registering all over again which is stressful and inconvenient. I am also not able to send amounts over 800 dirhams maybe so I have to send 1k over two transactions

Bank Support's & App Bugs

Hi there! There are several bank's not getting linked like FAB, Emirates NBD, DIB, HSBC. Why???? Kindly give the access to these banks too. Also the app load time is too much, after transaction gets done, it takes 3 mins to load it in transaction tab. Kindly fix that and give access to other banks as well.

FEEDBACK

SMOOTH & EASY APP Paying to the stores that are not accepting cards will be easy. Aani should work on videos explaining the app and how it works ! Exchange houses should prepare and design their system to implement Aani payments.

Mixed review

I had a smooth experience onboarding my FAB account, but when trying with my ENBD account the app doesn’t open on its own and it keeps saying to trying to authenticate. Why can’t I add my credit cards? Feels risky linking all my accounts and exposing my all my accounts. Credit cards I would feel safer to debit and pay

Finally a UPI equivalent in the UAE

Much needed instant payment system. Enrolling was super easy. Open banking is truly the future and the ability to transfer money to someone with just their mobile number is as convenient as it gets. If you’re familiar with GPay and Paytm in India, this is a no brainer.

Definitely this is going to be a game changer in UAE’s Digital Finance World

App is neat and clean without any bugs so far. Appreciate the initiative of this app from UAE central government. This is needed from a long time for better money transfer. People will not know the advantages of this payment transfer method very soon but when it happens it’ll be a complete game changing experience. In easy words for people from India who knows UPI. This is exactly same UAE’s AANI.
