Reliability

All cards on the account have “maintenance” at the same time and without warning. I have been late on bills and unable to pay for necessities because of this. This “maintenance” takes days.

bad

bad

Not Flexible Enough

Like at all, can’t make simple transactions without having to withdraw to bills then transfer to another card.

Bad costumer service

Unable foto transfer to bank

Non working

It doesn’t even work

Fees for everything!

Too expensive to use or NOT USE this stupid card!

Disappointed

I received this card digitally and it has proved impossible to use at stores as they refuse to accept it because of previous fraud issue and to use it online it is rejected. May be better to have the actual card.

Does not work

I have never used a banking system like this before until I received an incentive from the state of Florida.
Every time I have tried to transfer the funds to my regular bank account, there is ALWAYS a technical issue. I have to ALWAYS call customer service and it usually takes an hour or so to get the problem resolved. They have had to create a new card for me several times.
I don’t understand why the state of Florida will not just deposit the money into my bank account!

Virtual credit card for surveys

The money I got for the surveys came just in time ( as it was my sons birthday)

Buggy

This app is pretty useless. You cant apple pay anywhere and it also doesnt let you send money to an external account.

Hard to get your money

It drives me insane that I cannot transfer my Akimbo balance to my bank account. The $1000 limit is seriously inconvenient.

Excellent prepaid card ap

Love it! - Best prepaid card money management solution. I use it to fund all my children’s game purchases and allowances. They get a card with their name on it and I control their spending.

$1 fee per transaction is absurd

Fees to use your own money just doesn’t make sense

Its a good app but keeps crashing…

This app crashes a lot when i open it and try to submit my government documents so idk what to do but this app is not it! If any dev out there can fix this, that would be amazing!

Great way to bank & payroll!

We love the diversity of this app. Great staff too.

Worst app I’ve ever used

I have never used an app with more issues as this one. It took me at 4 times trying to reset my password and log in to register my card. I finally was able to complete those steps. Then I transferred additional funds to the card, which completed successfully, then tried to log back into the app to verify the total amount. And yet again I keep getting the error message. I’ve reset my password several times, which the process works. But it still won’t let me log in. I am beyond frustrated. Please fix this.

Worse card ever

Customer service can make or break a company…..their customer service is horrific!!! App is terrible too!!

Great way to help kids build sound money-management practices.

Easy to manage; works great at a variety of stores. We load some funds onto the cards twice a year and that’s the kids’ clothing allowance.

Requires invitation code

Requires an invitation code or to have a card in your possession already otherwise you cannot use it
