Vola Finance user reviews

Last Updated: Nov 13, 2025
We went over the latest 1100 Vola Finance app reviews in November so you don't have to, and summarized them to tell you what users really think! 🧐

Vola Finance shows a 4.5 lifetime rating across roughly 33k reviews (about 27k on the App Store and 6k on Google Play). Recent feedback is far less upbeat, with users giving the app just 1.9 in the last few weeks (as of November 2025). Below, we’ll unpack what’s fueling the sharp drop and the main takeaways from user comments.

Users say

Most reviewers like that Vola can spot a few bucks in a pinch, but the reality check is pretty consistent:

• Advances stay small (usually $15-$75) and often never grow, even after months of on-time pay-backs
• Cash isn’t “instant” for most users; transfers show up late the same day at best, but 24-48 business hours (plus a five-day “cool-off” before you can borrow again) is common
• You’ll pay a membership fee ($3.99, $8.99, $24.99, etc.) before you even know if you actually qualify, and many are billed after canceling
• Linking a bank can be a headache—Chime, Varo, SoFi, PNC and other online banks frequently get rejected despite showing in the menu
• Bugs and UX issues pop up a lot: login loops, buttons hidden under the nav bar, ID uploads that stall, missing CVV on the Vola card, and crashes after updates
• Customer support is mostly email-only; replies take days (or never arrive), calls go to dead numbers, and tickets sometimes won’t send
• A few users report early or duplicate withdrawals that triggered overdraft fees, plus charges for tiers they never used

Bottom line: handy for a small, slower advance if your bank is supported and you’re okay with the monthly fee—but most users say be ready for glitches, delays and tough-to-reach support.

Many users express serious concerns about the security and privacy of their personal information when using the Vola Finance app. A recurring theme is the app's request for sensitive data, such as government IDs and bank account details, without delivering the promised cash advances. Users report feeling deceived, as the app often fails to provide the service after collecting personal information, leading to suspicions of data misuse. Additionally, there are multiple complaints about unauthorized charges and difficulties in account deletion, with some users fearing identity theft. The sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, with users advising others to avoid the app.
App reviews talking about Security & Privacy:
"...they most definitely aren’t giving you any. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE LIARS!"
"...they want me to jump hoops and do too much to get one. So.. delete."
"...they locked me out my account"
