★★★★ "The app is great, does what it's supposed to do. Wagetap however is a sly, sneaky mob. Miss a payment because the system has gotten your payday wrong and beware wagetap will access your account at will for several months without letting you…" - Richard Stokes

The app is great, does what it's supposed to do. Wagetap however is a sly, sneaky mob. Miss a payment because the system has gotten your payday wrong and beware wagetap will access your account at will for several months without letting you know. Meanwhile you still get all the spam. Avoid at all costs. Wish I had.

★★★★ Amelia Rose 4/1/2026

★★★★ Rhys 3/19/2026 v10.74
My advance limit went from $1,100 to $400 without any justification and no observable changes in my circumstances. I contacted the support team and asked them why this happened, and all they could tell me was that they couldn't tell me why my limit was decreased and gave me a list of vague reasons. Then I paid back my reduced loan in full 20 minutes ago and now I'm completely ineligible with no justification.
★★★★ Bluewolf996 3/13/2026
wouldn't connect to my bank and when it did it stated I dont have regular work wages and they couldnt be detected. I have regular work and the wages are obviously there but not even support could help me out. therefore terrible had no drama with another app.
★★★★ Donna Deliu 3/12/2026
the app seems too not allow me for some reason
★★★★ Chris Johnson 2/23/2026
refuses to detect wages that are most definitely regular and most definitely there. my bank isn't lying.
★★★★ m.j.m 2/18/2026
Used the service for two years,never missed a payment and often pay out early,full time employment with the same deductions every week, nothing financially has changed at all,then they drop the not eligible line even though my expenses and debts are consistently the same,so if nothing has changed financially or employment wise how all of a sudden do I not meet the criteria.
★★★★ Steven R 2/13/2026 v10.68
wagetap was good until they use you like others to get you hooked on payday loans. now I'm eligible even after paying off 7 payments without default. this kind of lending is no good even if you are on time with payments.
★★★★ Shan Beckwith 2/11/2026 v10.68
waste of time +
★★★★ Peleseuma Metai 2/1/2026 v10.68

★★★★ Andrew Hickin 1/20/2026
these app are massive scams!stay away! they are designed to keep you endlessly using thier payday loan service, they will also increase the amount you can borrow so you are forced to rely on this app! stay well away!
★★★★★ Lang Thang 2/24/2026 v10.71
