Don’t Bother

I’ve used this app for a few years, but am letting it go. It was fine until the last few months when glitches became constant and customer support non-existent. Despite recently reverifying my account details and having it confirmed it was successful, it asks me to do it again. Chat is a bot, not a human. Emailed support only to get referred to chat. Email support again and I get different answers. Insane and not worth it at all at this point.

Scammiest

Here’s my story. I went and tried to verify identity and it said I couldn’t have an account. I could not find anyway to verify. AI chat told me to text support to chat. It sent me back to the AI which sent me to chat. Today I received a charge on my bank account ( wrong one by the way) for 19.99. So it charged me a subscription for a service I wasn’t allowed to have or at the time cancel. I finally after an hour found the small print and I do mean small print and at least was able to deactivate. They make it extremely difficult to cancel or deactivate. They also make it difficult to verify identity. The AI is useless and there seems to be no agent support There are many other apps that are much with more transparency. Avoid this one like the plague

Be wary

Customer service is terrible, money comes out randomly and will take you negative hundreds. No I’m not lying, no I’m not a bot, just a real person truly over Albert doing this.

Albert Budgeting and Banking

This App had helped me So much! I don’t have to do anything just look for all the positive moves it helps me with Financially.

Mr.Durham

Albert: Budgeting and Banking just seems to be there with the cash I need and at the time I need it mm and the interest they charge isn’t bad. I do wish they would go by your paycheck as to when you have to pay the advance.

Frustrating badd!!!!

Cant pay off a loan balance because the app is too slow to update and my link bank account balance….. i have money to pay off the loan why its keeping saying balance too low ?!?! I will be deleting this app as soon as possible.

Negative Stars

If I could leave negative stars I would. What a hassle it is to cancel your account subscription. Theres no option on the app you have to ask the AI help option and then it tries OVER AND OVER AND OVER to keep you attached to the subscription. It also puts the continue buttons in different spots so you constantly click the wrong thing to move forward. Scam artists.

Horrible and predatory

Poorly optimized, predatory, no easy way to cancel subscription or close youre account. Scam institution.

Predatory App

It was advertised to me as a free budgeting app. Started noticing $40 charges on my bank account. Definitely would have not downloaded the app had I known I would be charged $40. I guess I should have read the fine print. When I tried to cancel my subscription it was very complicated. Someone who is less tech savvy could have real problems trying to cancel. The whole experience felt very predatory. Do not recommend.

Dangerous Scam

They are still texting me with me about my account balances. DO NOT let this AI Thief into your accounts and life. I canceled and closed the account and got a refund but they are still texting me about my accounts. It is a DANGEROUS SCAM! Be warned!

Works for what it is

It’s an ok app for budgeting. The cost of getting advances is hefty and changes made it more expensive

Just in time

This Albert is great always there when I need it

Reliable

Helps out as I’m working to get my kid ready for college.

Make sure you deactivate

This stupid app wasn’t compatible with my bank and I never used it. Deleted the app the same day but was surprised to see they were charging me $19.99/mo for a useless subscription.
Make sure you jump through all their hoops to deactivate it because they don’t make it easy.

Awesome Albert

Absolutely the best app I've used thus far. When I need a little extra cash for short term use, it’s always been available for me.
Thanks Albert!

Deceptive scam

Look it up on Reddit- make it impossible to cancel your account

Greedy

Makes it so hard to close your account. I just wanted to look at a loan option and it made me sign up for trial account. Almost forgot about it and got scammed but I remembered and canceled

Scam

There’s a reason they had a lawsuit against them. Hidden fees, forcing you to allow them to take money from your account to “invest”. Forcing you to sign up for the paid version, so you can then downgrade to free version. I was charged $19.99 genius service despite opting to not include Genius specifically. Scam scam scam

All in One

The app takes care of everything I need. I can link all my accounts including retirement and investment accounts. Albert AI helps me set budgets and manage my money by identifying trends in my spending. Probably the best tool I have.

Needed money

Albert helped me a lot in a time of need
