Refusal to close

I tried to close my account 2 years back and kept getting excuses until finally I was told I could find the form to close it in the app so I downloaded it and haven’t been able to find any account services forms or a search bar and I keep getting charged a maintenance fee.

The most frustrating company

Every single time I try to access my funds it’s been a headache. The app and the website are always down. Contacting customer service is also useless because they read off a script with no real solutions yet at the same time give different answers every time I’ve called. A change to information on my account “maybe” takes up to three to seven business day for me to receive an email that can only be returned back via fax or mail. And even then they “hope” to update my information correctly while they charge me a monthly fee to have my account. If possible save your time and energy and do not work with the company.

Smart Choice Sucks!!!

I have NEVER had so much trouble with the ap and trying to move money from my investment accounts to a spending account. What a nightmare!!!

Good grief

I do not like this company. Customer Service is outsourced. Zero notes on previous calls and they do not understand your issue

Do not use

They are good at taking your money but not good at letting you use it. Avoid at all cost. If your employer offers, form a union because your employer clearly hates you if they offer this product.

Where’s my tax forms?

Ohh I have to log in to a WEB page! I can’t do it from my app?

Nope.

AND it requires a completely different set of credentials!

What a joke.

Login

Every single time I have tried to log into this app it never lets me log in, I can’t reset my password at all either. Garbage app.

App is not great

Can’t view investments or change in investments readily. Terrible functionality.

Receipt tracking bad

Cannot upload two receipts to one expense. Also, no option to edit receipt after upload.

The ABSOLUTE Worst

They steal your money by not allowing you to access it. They are crooks

Worst app ever

I can’t believe how bad this app is. Every step takes forever. You think something is a button but it’s really not. Terrible UI

Horrible

I been uploading my same receipts for years now it’s documents required what a rip off you send the info they ask for it’s still a problem

The font

The text is entirely too small. What kind of design choice is this?

Taking my funds

Vimergy is a known high level vitamin and mineral company. You allow automatic withdrawals out of my account from untrusted sites but refuse to refund me for a $1000 legit claim. Give me my money!

Impossible to Log In

No matter how many times I change my password, the next time I go to log in, I am blocked. Have wasted countless trying to navigate this website and even more time trying to get phone support.

Excellent App!!

Very easy to use and just the right tool to supply me with the best quality of my work.

Don’t waste your time

This app is non intuitive and cheaply made.

Need communication tool

There is no way to communicate to those who keep making mistakes. No way of leaving feedback or request help

Buttons on buttons and glitches galore

This app could be a single page of simple information, but instead it’s a maze of independent menus that all have wildly different UIs. Some have the same information, but in different colors or fonts. Sometimes, my account balance is different on two different menus. One of the drop-downs to expand a submenu is on top of a link to a browser-based calculator, which opens on a three-second delay when I expand the (inaccessible) submenu. I don’t know what Alight is doing with the egregious $2.50 fee they rip out of my HSA every month, but they sure aren’t spending it on hiring a software team.

Very Clunky

The app is helpful in that it has the information I need, when I need it.

However, the usability and accessibility need to be looked at. The messages/notifications section is aggravating since I mark messages as “read” or I delete them, but they stay there - then it glitches and I end up deleting what I wanted to keep.

The other issue I noticed today was the code entry to verify it’s me. I got the numeric code to my email, and when I went to enter it, each spot of the 6-digit code made me change from the QWERTY keyboard to the number/symbol keyboard. Why have a numeric code if that’s how it’ll be?

Just some thoughts.
