What reviewers actually said

1. [R2] Sezzle 5/5 · US Sezzle where have you been all my life!!!: Sezzle has made it convenient and easy for me to make purchases for my family without breaking the bank. As a single Mom with 3 daughters!! kudos to Sezzle you are the best!! Thank you sooo much!!!
2. [R8] Sezzle 5/5 · US The best: I literally use this app for everything from building up my gold & silver savings, fixing and building my race car, emergency expenses. Its the greatest thing ever! You can split in 4 or 5 and they even go as far as giving you FREE reschedules if you happen to have a different expense in your due date. I highly recommend this app to anyone. They start you off at 300$ after about a year o
3. [R44] Sezzle 5/5 · US Comes in Handy: I was apprehensive when it came to using this service. However, it’s actually helped cover expenses and the payments have been manageable. What I enjoy the most is its ability to be used throughout various places and isn’t tied down to specific stores.
4. [R63] PayPal 3/5 · US App runs so slow: App runs so slow. It takes forever to bring up the home page and then trying to get to the screen to unlock it is horrible as well. My app is updated to the latest update. I’ve had PayPal over 10 years please fix this
5. [R9] Sezzle 3/5 · US App works when it wants.: Love sezzle itself but the app never wants to open for me when I need to use it !
6. [R15] Sezzle 3/5 · US Take so long: Although I do like this app, it takes so long to process your payment! Takes even longer to update your spending amount. Very annoying.
7. [R75] PayPal 3/5 · US app: since last week i loved my pay pal now everytime i go to open my app it will not open i’ve done everything. I close the account like the account of my Facebook off my phone reinstall it shut my phone off to Noeville PayPal. I cannot get into anymore so I don’t like them.
8. [R1] Sezzle 1/5 · US Inconsistent available balance: They’ll tell you that your available balance will go up if you pay early or on time, but that’s a lie, I made an early payment of $115 and they took $400 dollars away from my available balance. Once again as soon as my available balance reached $2000 Sezzle found a way to restrict my account, now I can’t use it at all, and customer service is utterly pathetic.
9. [R27] Sezzle 2/5 · US Customer service is terrible and takes forever to process payments: I used sezzle as a payment method at least 3 times. I made some returns on my very first order and I’m still waiting on my refund. I contacted customer support for clarification and the agent literally cut our conversation short without resolving the problem. Not only that, but they make you pay for their subscription to be able t
10. [R61] PayPal 1/5 · US Terrified customer service: Absolutely terrible customer service they have nobody real you can talk to and everything is AI decision based. Do Not Trust them with your money
11. [R70] PayPal 1/5 · US WORST CARD I HAVE EVER HAD NEVER GET IT: horrible app, horrible card, horrible company, horrible customer service, the absolute worst I have ever dealt with. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY THESE THIEVES WILL TAKE IT ALL.
12. [R3] Sezzle 3/5 · US It’s okay: The app is okay for borrowing money and payment plans but I’ve definitely had better before (Klarna, Shop, Afterpay, Affirm). Sezzle requires you to pay a $20 monthly fee just to even be able to use the money and make a payment plan and they tried to make it sound cool but coining it as (Anywhere pay) when the pay should’ve been available to be used anywhere from the beginning. They als
13. [R19] Sezzle 1/5 · US What happened?: Every online store I frequently use now comes with a monthly fee. No thanks. Keep your membership. This was a dumb move
14. [R67] PayPal 1/5 · US Subpar: DO NOT USE PAYPAL. This is the third time I have used pay in 4. They approve it and charge your bank the down payment 3 times and hold the money for 3 days. They blame the vendor and say there is nothing they can do. Fraud. Stay away use any other payment system
15. [R76] PayPal 1/5 · US No good: Every time i try to use this app they take so much money and now my money is stuck inside the app for 30 days this app sucks
16. [R12] Sezzle 3/5 · US Legitimate app but poor service: This app is legit, I have honestly made about +$160 in gift cards in just a month and a half, mostly thru arcade games and the money IQ. They also are good for credit reporting and giving you a decent amount for buy now pay later. The customer service is extremely lacking though. First time i had issues with not getting reward points for a game i had played an
