Ratings and reviews

When I started up my acct. With Albert it was $10 monthly then they kept adding more things to my acct. Charging me $20 monthly fee they didn't ask me before they just started charging me. Not only that I get my check deposited in my acct every month but they don't except it for some reason so they won't give me the $200 for starting up my acct getting direct deposit. I have had nothing but a hard time with Albert. There's a lot more that is hard to deal with in this app. Not worth getting this.

Albert enabled smart money to take debits out of my account. I turned smart money off to prevent them from taking money unexpectedly. The last 2 days they have rattempted to withdraw money from my account and caused $120 in overdraft fees. They are supposed to monitor the account and only take when available and do not adjust to pending transactions. I contacted them and they refunded one and paused smart money but took more out today with another fee. They have not responded when contacted.

Has been holding me hostage to the app, and I can not deactivate or close my account. I've called the customer service phone number, and it tells me to go back to the app neither one has been helpful. I've never received or wanted an Albert card, so when it asks for the last 4 digits of the card, to be able to close the account, I can't provide it. The app continues to take a subscription fee from my account at the most inconvenient times.
