Doesn’t work

Have used GL for my kids for 3 years. Suddenly, we can no longer move money. Every time we try, it says we have “surpassed the number of transfer requests”. One is too many? What’s funny is that the wallet isn’t replenishing either, even though we have long had it set to auto-fund. Nothing has changed on our end , and money isn’t an issue. Spoke to customer service more than once, who did not help to rectify the fundamental failure. My kids have been stranded without money and the app has even robbed their savings to replenish the wallet and it has not been rectified. Awful. Will be switching to something that actually works soon. Beware of this happening to you.

Amazing

Compared to traditional banking, I can have 1 master account, and 4 accounts per kid to organize their allowances and educate them on how to spend, save, give and invest. The investment platform is actually more user friendly and educational than any others I’ve found. Incredible dashboard and app tech. It’s quick, very reliable, and useful for our family.
