Access to Funds and Account

What reviewers discussedSeveral available reviews reported login, wallet transfer, or disbursement problems, including funds not reaching the expected account and delays while support investigated.

Representative User Example
It'll be deducted from the wallet, but it won't reach its destination. Their fix takes 7 calendar days or more.

Google Play review | 2024-04-22

What this may meanA Tala transfer or login problem can make it difficult to confirm whether funds left the wallet or reached the destination. Keep the offer and transaction reference outside the app until the transfer is confirmed.

Support When Something Goes Wrong

What reviewers discussedSome reviews reported repeated waiting periods or difficulty getting a clear resolution from support after disbursement or transfer problems.

Representative User Example
It's almost three weeks but they still not resolve it, they just keep on saying that I need to wait for another 7 working days to settle it.

Google Play review | 2023-12-08

What this may meanWhen a Tala transfer is missing or the account cannot be opened, a delayed support response can extend the period of uncertainty. Record Tala's support route before disbursement and include the transaction reference if you need help.
