Ratings and reviews

This app is really bad. I've added a bank account and the app won't let me use it to add money to a student account. I've read and deleted my messages four times, and they still show up. doesn't seem to be well tested from the user interface perspective. Customer support is non-existent. Have tried multiple times to call, on hold for half hour before I hung up. No email contact that I could find. Small correction, they do have an email to contact on the app store, but not in the app.

App is pretty bad. There is some overlay ad that pops up anytime you navigate to a new page. It grays out the screen, shows a spinning wheel, then after about 3 seconds is removed. Additionally, the notification center never updates, despite reading or deleting the messages. I've had the same 3 notifications there since I downloaded the app. Overall, needs a lot of work.

App will not allow me to log-in, just cycles back to the login page over and over. I used to be able to get in via the 'desktop' view from my phone but now that isn't working. Really frustrating to not be able to check balances or add funds when I need to. Also agree with other reviewers that the per transaction processing fee is very high, especially for ACH transfers from a bank acct that don't have high fees like credit card transactions.
