Account setup unsuccessful with US numberl. App is stuck verifying OTP in the second/ subsequent step. Note: auto read of OTP succeeds in first step. App seems buggy Update 1/ 21: impossible to create a ticket. Tried every way on the APP UI to check if I can create new ticket, but I can only view tickets, and not create one. Tried to setup on another Android phone for different user. Same issues. Strongly belive this app was never tested on Android, Samsung phones.

Hello, Niraj. We apologize for the inconvenience caused during your onboarding. Please retry account linking. Do ensure that you are using the same phone number as the SIM inserted in your device. Note: For security reasons, OTP verification must happen via OTP autoread. ∞AX

Please fix issues with registering bank for NRIs. When adding a bank, it's unable to access the OTP from SMS and times out. No issues with receiving the message. Trying this with HDFC bank. I see there are several reviews pointing this issue out as well so should be something the team is already aware of. Good Internet connection, good network coverage, DND inactive. No problems receiving the SMS but the app is not able to pick it up and doesn't allow to enter manually as well

For linking bank account, it is asking to send sms from linked mobile number. But unfortunately even after permitting, it is not moving forward and keep in verifying screen itself making us wait for eternity. If we click back after waiting for long time, again need to do the same and after 3 times, it asks to wait for 24 hrs. Waited literally 4 continuous days to set up, but still Not been able to set up. So Stupid.
