Ratings and reviews

Got this app for Instant coverage and for the first 3 months it was available but then all of a sudden, no more instant coverage and I meet all the criteria. Unfortunately, the only way to get through to them is through email and I have never received a response back yet! Plus the $14.99 a month fee just to have access to instant Is absurd. To top it off you must have Smart Money turned on. That gives them access to your primary bank account which they can move $ from at will. Low key scam.

Missed one payment because it takes FOREVER after you make a manual payment, by the time it went through, the money was gone. Now after consistently paying on time for a year, and having a positive Albert balance (I overpaid by $10) I don't qualify for an advance. Look at the customers payment history before making them unable to qualify, and get a better system where our manual payments go through immediately. Sadly, I'm going to cancel this service. Bye Albert.

Albert is a predatory service akin to payday loans, but way worse. Paying the balance isn't enough to get rid of them. Had to change my bank account number to be rid of it. Requests a tip for a simple automated account to account transfer. If you don't want to tip, you have to figure out how to change it to zero, which is touching a completely unmarked portion of the screen. Which is weird after having to hit custom amount. I just shut down the app for a long while until I just realized how. Pro
