Brella – Card Manager

SHAZAM

About this app

Brella helps you protect your debit card by sending you alerts when your card is used so you can quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity on your account. Users have the option to receive text or email alerts. You can also check your account balance anytime, turn your card off and on, send money to other users and find nearby ATMs.

Alerts are provided for:
• Purchases exceeding dollar amounts you set
• Card-not-present purchases
• Suspicious or high-risk transactions

With this app, you have the ability to define when, where and how your debit card can be used. Users can set blocks for:
• Transactions exceeding a specific dollar amount
• Internet and phone transactions
• Transactions conducted outside of the U.S.

Turn your debit card off/on
This control can be used to disable a lost or stolen card, prevent fraudulent activity and control spending.

Ratings and reviews

Terrible to use. My bank is doing an offer that if we sign up for a few of their free services I'll get some extra $$$. Well.... I can not get past putting my phone number in to get my card set up in the app. This was my issue 4-5 years ago and I gave up. I try again after years AND STILL THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! So this tells me that they are NOT actually updating this app or fixing any issues. I read other comments where the only way people could do anything on this app, is if they call support.

Useless. Wouldn't let me sign in. Had to get a temporary password three times because they also wouldn't work. Finally, I managed to sign in, and it wants me to verify my card, except it won't do that either because it can't connect to the servers all three times I tried to do that. Which is awful because it sends you right back to the sign in screen all over again each time. I give up.

"Can't connect to the server". Update: after contacting app support, the very nice gentleman for brella said the app was not working on my new phone because I had switched phones. He put in a trouble ticket & in 2 days it worked again! I'm upgrading my rating from 1 star to 3 because I like the app, but I shouldn't have to call tech support for it to work on a new phone.
