One more time #Nequi Instead of offering greater comforts to the client, they only look for their own 🤑

Nequi’s decision generated discomfort among its clients
However, Nequi’s recent decision to disable this option has generated a flurry of comments among its customers. Despite the notification about the removal of the service, the company invited its users to explore other payment methods available on the platform. “You can continue paying with a Nequi Visa card,” the entity noted in its message.
Many users expressed their concern and discontent. Some consider that payment by card with QR codes was a necessary and convenient service, and the elimination of this option could affect the experience of using the application.
Despite the controversy, Nequi has emphasized that its goal is to maintain agility and efficiency in its users’ transactions. He pointed out that the platform has other alternatives to make payments.
