I've had many prepaid cards before and this is by far THE WORST! I could NEVER put money on the card and the rep always claimed "some locations wouldn't work". I went to 3 different places to try and load this card and eventually customer service said they'd talk to upper management to see why the card wouldn't work. Never got a call back on that! Now for some reason my card doesn't work period! I have closed my account and they're taking a fee out of my remaining $20 for closing it! -900 STARS!

I have just very recently download this app so I could deposit my checks via mobile app. The claim of getting the check posted in minutes was true. However, there is a fee for doing that (mine was 17 dollars!). If you choose not to pay the fee (why is it so high, they're getting 5 bucks a month off you already) then you have to wait 10 days and your funds might be available. Just wanted to throw that out there for everyone. More of a headache than a convenience.

Used to be a decent app for use with the card. In the past month or so though, I have lost the ability to make bill payments online. For some reason my acct info was removed from my saved payment methods on several sites (this is a card issue, not the app... but still a problem). Edit: recent issue with app freezing immediately after login has been resolved. adjusted rating to reflect that.
