2. indi is a prepaid account. Your funds will be held at PNC Bank, National Association and are eligible for FDIC insurance, subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits.  
3. The indi prepaid debit card is issued by PNC Bank, National Association.
4. indi's Tax Savings Goal feature is not a substitute for individual tax planning or for legal, financial, or tax advice. This feature is intended only as a tool to provide a basic sense of your potential tax savings needs. Because indi will not know everything about your finances or your personal situation, your Tax Savings Goal may be more or less than your actual tax liability. The Tax Savings Goal does not account for local taxes. Using funds designated as Tax Savings for other spending may leave too little money to pay your taxes.
5. indi cardholders can withdraw cash at any ATM. Cash deposit locations are limited to PNC ATMS; and Visa® ReadyLink merchants (for Visa cardholders) or Mastercard® rePower merchants (for Mastercard cardholders); merchants may charge a fee for this service.

### 1/5 — Really ridiculous business practices

*2023-06-22*

They close my account because i didn't use it for 3 weeks. And upon trying to open it back up or make a new one, they denied me for no reason . Theyre horrible

### 1/5 — There are thieves

*2023-04-12*

Do not bank with them. They closed my account. They took my money and they won’t issue me a check with the balance that I have prior to closing my account. This is one of my worst experience with any bank. Please people do not bank with them. They won’t protect you.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-01-25, version 1.37.0*

Would not recommend using this
Use a real bank not pnc either

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-01-06, version 1.37.0*

Great no fee business banking for self employed gif workers ! Thank you Indi

### 4/5 — Ok

*2022-09-08, version 1.33.0*

Good

### 1/5 — App Kills Successful Banking Experience

*2022-08-26, version 1.32.0*

The app will not let you sign in after a certain point whether you have the correct username or the incorrect username whether you have the correct password of the incorrect password it still will not let you sign it in even if you change the password and they tell you that the password has been successfully changed they will not allow you to sign in with the change password that they just verified on their website Customer support has been dismal and very very poor the people who run the bank do not allow the people who deal with the customers to have enough authority to do the things that the customers need done in addition to that they have no technical support and their whole times are abominable I’ve waited more than four hours and still haven’t gotten my issue resolved in over three weeks

### 3/5 — Communication is KEY - contact support!

*2022-08-10, version 1.31.0*

Like many others, I learned of the bank through Steady and the opportunity to earn a $25 bonus. While it does state that it can take up to 90 days to receive the deposit, I decided to reach out a week or so after 30 days (after receiving the email that I met the requirement) to make sure they recognize that I am eligible and met the deposit requirement. Exactly 7 days after I contacted support through the Message Support in the app, my bonus was rewarded to me and deposited in my account!

I can’t speak as to why they’ve established a 90-Day maximum wait for the reward, but my recommendation is to reach out to support and have them address it and maybe you will get your reward MUCH sooner like I did. Yay! 🎉

### 1/5 — TRASH APP

*2022-07-21, version 1.30.1*

This bank is trash.. they are only here to stole your money.. I was trying to login with my login information, it’s saying username or password incorrect.. fix your bank

### 2/5 — Never receive the $25

*2022-07-07, version 1.30.1*

On Steady y’all have listed a income booster for signing up and making a qualifying purchase and you’ll receive $25. It’s been nearly 3 months and I still haven’t received it. Misleading and so far seems like false information and broken promises. 😒

### 5/5 — Jobble is real!

*2022-06-30, version 1.30.1*

You rocks!
