I registered for their service a few months back and my account is still not verified. I wanted to contact them but there is literally no button for the support when waiting for your application to be reviewed.I had to look for their email online and I finally sent them an email but I never got a reply. The worst user experience ever. Suggestion for the product team: put a support icon after registration so people can reach you.

The App suddenly stopped allowing me to log in to my account. When I input my passcode, it just says 'something went wrong, please try again'. I tried uninstalling the app, re-linking my device but still have the same issue. I have sent multiple emails to support without any response. The phone number on the card just gives you a robot and no actual person to assist. It has now been 2 weeks , and i have been unable to access my account. Absolutely apauling customer service!
