AirKey Positive Reviews
Works greatAirKey has been a lifesaver for me while traveling abroad! None of my other banks can figure out a way to verify my identity since I don’t have access to a US number, but Capital One could do it with AirKey!.Qubeys dubeysVersion: 1.1.6
Pretty goodNot sure what the other people are talking about it not working while in other countries, I’m currently in communist China and if it works here I’m sure it would work anywhere..Velocity <3Version: 1.0.18

AirKey Negative Reviews
AirKey’s Capital One Visa integration is a complete failure.The AirKey app has one of the worst user experiences I’ve ever encountered. I’m currently in South Korea and have been completely stranded because the app is stuck in a nonstop demo loop with no way to use my card. There is no workaround. The only button I’m allowed to press is “FAQ,” which is useless when the issue is that I literally cannot authenticate or pay for anything.
There’s no option to request help, no alternate authentication method, no special PIN system — nothing. I had to restart my phone, delete and reinstall the app, and still got nowhere. This is unacceptable for something that people depend on for essential daily transactions.
I’m genuinely considering switching away from Capital One entirely because this integration is so unreliable. AirKey needs to fix this immediately. This should not be happening..Teal&Purple.<3Version: 1.1.11
Do NOT use Capital one cardsI got a capital one card so that I could use it while traveling in Europe and not have to inform my credit card company every time I went to a different country. Unfortunately, every time I made an online purchase they would make me verify it using this app, and while it worked at first, one day it just stopped. Therefore, EVERY SINGLE TIME I needed to buy something online, I was unable to. Vatican tickets, colosseum tickets, reservation fees, etc. I couldn’t even call capital one about it because I had gotten a UK number, and they DO NOT LET YOU even speak to someone if your number doesn’t match a card. Such an unbelievably stupid, frustrating system. Really shows how much they care about their customers..Jello the duckVersion: 1.1.0
Super glitchy, ruining my tripI’m in a foreign country so I can’t use my cell phone number linked to my cap one account to verify my purchases or login. It should be ok because I can verify by tapping my card to my phone right? Wrong. It simply doesn’t work. I’ve tried 50 times and it worked one time. The one time I got it to work was by restarting my phone, and it didn’t work after that. It just does not recognize any of my three cards. Yes, I’ve done all the troubleshooting. Beyond frustrating. This needs to be fixed or offer another way to verify. I’ve wasted literal hours and countless dollars because of this..Brooky!Version: 1.0.10
Great in theory, terrible in executionIt’s not often that I need to use AirKey to verify a transaction. Most of the time when I DO need to verify a transaction however, it’s because I’m trying to purchase a foreign product or service using an online storefront WHILE I AM IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Unfortunately (I guess because of Capital One’s anti-fraud rules) this app WILL NOT WORK while you are in a country outside of the United States! Thank goodness I have international roaming, otherwise I would be unable to confirm my transaction..NuNu10000Version: 1.0.18
Useless in the UKI physically have the card, have the app, received the link, said yes to the text that it’s me making the purchase, and STILL refused! I have to now spend more money by going into the location to make this purchase. With the current exchange rate that’s significantly more money. The response from CapOne.. um, sometimes the system works and sometimes it doesn’t. That’s just great. When I’ve done ALL the verification checks, I should be allowed to make my purchase!!!!.USNA08!Version: 1.0.14
HorribleI am literally switching to a new credit card company because the Airkey feature is so abysmal.
I moved to the UK and was told my card would be fully functional here, which it was 10 years ago. False. Now, it is not possible to make any online purchases or even pay my bills or part of my tuition, because Airkey is required yet literally does not WORK in the UK.
To make basic payments, I have to go into the app store and switch my country to America, input a family member's info, and THEN use Airkey before switching BACK to the UK and inputting all my info so I can use my phone.
Don't tell me this is an international card then disable that feature with your own awful app..IwillcomeandgoVersion: 1.1.12
Will NOT work, no customer service.Absolutely the worse app I have ever used. I missed out on timed international purchases because the app would not scan my card. I spent a good hour to position my card in every which way to no avail. No alternative to verification offered, no customer service, no support whatsoever. Will not keep this card. What a disappointment Capital One, you can do better..1Capital$?Version: 1.1.12
Does not work- fix it or stop requiring itMost frustrating thing!!! It does not work and customer service was a joke. Had no clue what this thing is. Just keeps declining my transaction! Lost my business to another company over this since they would allow my transaction to go through..Amax7532Version: 1.0.17
I don’t understand.Bored, and going "all in" on my ex-employer, I looked to see what other apps Capital One developed.
This caught my eye because my debit card has a key on the back. I logged in, the card seemed to be
"verified" and then end of process.
Don't know if I was scammed or what. Also, never heard of this app and l worked there a long time..Fouad AlkisswaniVersion: 1.0.15
Worst App ExperienceThe App which is supposed to verify a payment works well and says the tap is verified…but never communicates this with the site to actual confirm the purchase. Use a different card and successfully make your purchase—this app won’t work to let you buy what you want..IhatenicknamesjdjrheVersion: 1.0.14
Simple failBeing directed to download for first time use while trying to commit a financial transaction is a big fail, especially when the app automatically opens up to a demo, and then fails to return back to originating referral site; causing the process to fail.OmegamarVersion: 1.0.18
Doesn’t workHasn’t worked for me yet. I called Capital One to help and no one there has even heard of AirKey. Fix this trash app or get rid of it. Extremely frustrating. Makes me want to get rid of my card because of this. Major fail..Jonny FlyGuyVersion: 1.1.12
