Summary

Recent reviews from the last 90 days: Overall sentiment towards Current is mixed. While many users praise the app's ease of use, early direct deposit, and helpful features like overdraft protection and paycheck advances, a significant number of recent reviews report serious issues with unauthorized charges, unhelpful customer service, and difficulty accessing funds. These negative experiences appear to outweigh the positive feedback in recent weeks, indicating a decline in user satisfaction.

Pros:

  • - Early direct deposit (up to 2 days)
  • - Overdraft protection
  • - Paycheck advances
  • - Credit builder card and credit score resources
  • - Savings pods with 4% APY
  • - User-friendly interface
  • - Generally helpful customer service (older reviews)
  • - Crypto features

Cons:

  • - Unauthorized charges and compromised accounts: A recurring and alarming theme in recent reviews is the prevalence of fraudulent activity and difficulty resolving these issues with customer service.
  • - Unhelpful and unresponsive customer service: Many recent reviews cite unhelpful, generic responses from customer service, particularly via chat, and difficulty getting issues resolved regarding unauthorized charges, account access, and other problems.
  • - Difficulty accessing funds: Several recent reviews mention issues with account suspensions, delays in receiving deposited funds, and problems with linking external bank accounts.
  • - Inconsistent paycheck advance eligibility: Users report difficulty qualifying for paycheck advances even after meeting the stated requirements.
  • - High fees for cash loads: $4 fee to load cash is considered high by some.
  • - Lack of website access: Inability to access accounts via website, only through app, creates problems for users needing to update the app or those with older operating systems.
  • - Lengthy holds on incidental deposits: Users report excessively long holds (30+ days) on funds related to incidental deposits, particularly when using the credit builder card.
  • - Crypto pricing concerns: Users report issues with crypto pricing, potentially impacting returns.
  • - Removal of direct deposit benefits after payroll name changes: Users report losing overdraft protection and other benefits after their employer updates payroll information.

Divulgation des affiliations Au lieu de bannières publicitaires et de murs payants, Neobanque gagne de l'argent grâce à des liens d'affiliation vers les différents fournisseurs de services de paiement présentés sur notre site Web. Bien que nous nous efforcions de rechercher les meilleures offres sur le marché, nous ne sommes pas en mesure de prendre en compte tous les produits disponibles. Notre large éventail de partenaires affiliés de confiance nous permet de formuler des recommandations détaillées, impartiales et axées sur les solutions pour tous les types de questions et de problèmes des consommateurs. Cela nous permet de mettre en relation nos utilisateurs avec les fournisseurs qui répondent à leurs besoins et, ce faisant, de mettre en relation nos fournisseurs avec de nouveaux clients, créant ainsi une situation gagnant-gagnant pour toutes les parties impliquées. Cependant, si certains liens sur Monito peuvent effectivement nous rapporter une commission, ce fait n'a jamais d'incidence sur l'indépendance et l'intégrité de nos opinions, recommandations et évaluations.
