### 3/5 — Not anything special

*2026-08-21, version 26.13.0*

I haven’t been able to borrow any money. The incentive to invite someone to join the app is way too low. You also can’t transfer a small amount of money without paying a fee. So crazy to pay a fee to move your own money.

### 2/5 — Ok app

*2026-08-21, version 26.14.0*

I really liked this app. I used it for investing in stocks for a couple of years but after I found out you can’t put anyone for a beneficiary on your stocks I plan on deleting the app. Pretty disappointing

### 2/5 — Step

*2026-08-20, version 26.13.0*

Step has not been very helpful. I requested a new card because mine was coming apart and I put money on it and couldn’t use it anymore at alot of places. I requested it they said ok but still never received the card and don’t from them at all.

### 4/5 — This app and bank is great but…

*2026-08-18, version 26.13.0*

I love the step app, it’s cool how you can invest in stocks and crypto and how that have built in rewards. I have had it for about a year now and haven’t had any issues. The credit and Apple Pay are both easy to use with tap to pay. There is one issue that I hope is fixed, when you open the app I would like for it to ask you to login or use Face ID, it only uses Face ID when making a transfer or adding money to savings tab. It would be great and more secure if we could be asked for Face ID when we first opened the app.

### 2/5 — Change that

*2026-08-16, version 26.13.0*

It’s a good app it’s just I can’t change my email and can’t get in my acc anymore

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-08-16, version 26.13.0*

For the most part its but disputing transactions I feel like this company sides with merchants more than they do with customers

### 3/5 — Moving money isn’t the easiest

*2026-08-12, version 26.13.0*

Since it’s considered a credit card, I cannot use my step card in certain situations

### 5/5 — Mr T

*2026-08-11, version 26.13.0*

*2026-09-04, version 26.15.0*

THIS APP IS A SCAM!!!! I DOWNLOADED IT AND NEVER PUT MY CARD INFO ONLY MY INFO AND IT STEALS MONEY FROM U UNDER YOUR NOSE. BRIGIT,EARNIN AND CHIME ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER !

### 1/5 — Took money out of my account and didn’t even help.

*2026-08-31, version 26.14.0*

Tried to do the cash advance. Took my money for a bogus subscription but wouldn’t give advance even though I’ve had a good standing with my bank for years along with regular deposits. SCAM. Will be disputing with my bank.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-27, version 26.14.0*

Do not buy this it is a total scam install all my money and didn’t keep it safe. Do not buy.

### 1/5 — App Sucks

*2026-08-20, version 26.14.0*

I’ve Been Having Trouble With The App Not Allowing Me To Withdraw Any Money It’s Been Saying I’ve Reached My Limit For Transfers And I Haven’t Even Spent Any Money Yet I’ve Tried Reaching Out With Someone Directly From The Step Team And Haven’t Had Any Luck.

### 1/5 — Advance lie

*2026-08-20, version 26.14.0*

App store page explicitly says no direct deposit needed for advances, but that is a lie.

### 1/5 — App is garbage , i would give it negative

*2026-08-13, version 26.13.0*

I was banking with them for 6 years and got the Step black for $4.99 someone did unathorized charges to my account I reported it as disputes Step later on closed my account and no updates on the disputes whst a ridiculous app after banking with them for so long 
!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-11, version 26.13.0*

- Completely unreliable and awful customer service.Do not waste your time with Step EarlyPay. I completely meet all of their direct deposit and account requirements, yet the app still blocks me and won't let me cash out when I need it. To make matters worse, their customer service is incredibly slow and completely useless at resolving the issue. It is incredibly frustrating to do everything right on your end and still get locked out of your funds with zero support. Avoid this app if you actually need a reliable backup plan.

### 1/5 — They closed my account with 3,000$ in it

*2026-08-06, version 26.13.0*

They aren’t telling me why and not giving me my money back avoid this scam app

### 1/5 — Same old sub or deposit bait n'switch

*2026-08-04, version 26.13.0*

Dozens of better apps out there that don't practice this shady stuff.

### 1/5 — Opened and immediately closed.

*2026-08-02, version 26.11.0*

Unlinks your linked accounts every single day. Transfers into the account take a whole week so you couldn’t send additional funds quickly in an emergency or if they are out of town/with other parent. Using this as a teen debit card is simply not feasible.

### 5/5 — Best Every

*2026-09-04, version 26.15.0*

If you want to build your credit, with Step it’s the best choice! All positive, no negativity inquiries.
Earn credit history as you spend and Cashback ! Refer family, friends even invite under 18 to start their credit journey early ! It’s that great!!! I’m sure Step was the reason I got my first car! Credit was A1 & it was all I had😏

### 5/5 — Adrian

*2026-08-28, version 26.14.0*

I like it it’s amazing

### 5/5 — My first Account

*2026-08-27, version 26.14.0*

This was the very first account I had ever opened. It was very helpful during my high school years to receive money from my dad for lunch. 

Also holiday and birthday money. Helped me learned how to manage and move my money. So it’s incredibly reliable and useful for parents who want a safe and easy to use account with their kids.

For teens. This is amazing for building credit. I got my credit to 707 in less than 2 years. Took me about 1 year and 3 months. Mainly cause I kept up with purchases and rented things and paid them off easily with step. 

On top of that investing in stocks. It helps you with a very easy and simple UI. I honestly use it every so often and it’s incredibly good. When you get the black card you don’t have to pay with direct deposit of over $500. 

It gives you points to trade for actual money or gift cards. It’s honestly the best thing I’ve seen. Plus 3% when you put money on your savings. It’s honestly the best I’ve seen. So yes. Highly recommend it especially for younger people.

### 5/5 — Stopped using an ordinary debit card entirely

*2026-08-24, version 26.14.0*

I just love step they’ve helped me establish a super high payment history thus helping me in my credit journey.  And can’t beat the price four bucks for step black.  I hope to soon learn investing and stuff cuz they also offer an investment account thing.  Well worth the money and the time! And I just LOVE getting credit card points for literally everything known to man that I happen to already shop for.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2026-08-22, version 26.14.0*

Best online banking app!!!!

### 5/5 — Customer service

*2026-08-18, version 26.14.0*

Customer service is great with this app. I sent money to the incorrect child on this app and couldn’t figure out how to change it. I got great help from customer service.
