SINGAPORE - Days after the rapid rise of Singapore-based social networking app Bondee, users have grown hesitant about keeping the app after allegations that Bondee had misused credit card information surfaced online earlier this week.

Some users also highlighted that Bondee’s visual style shared striking resemblance to Chinese app Zheli. The viral app, once owned by Chinese tech company True.ly, was removed from app stores after its data privacy practices came under scrutiny. According to Metadream, the rights to True.ly have since been bought over by Bondee last year.

“We would like to assure our users that such rumours are false and untrue, as Metadream does not currently collect users’ credit card information or any other financial information. We have also undertaken a precautionary review of our systems and wish to assure our users that our systems and our users’ personal data remain safe and secure.”
