Current - Mobile Banking

I always get paid earlier than my actual payday. Sometimes the issuing bank will place a deposit hold on funds so that they cannot go to my current account until that electronic hold releases the funds. That hold time can vary just by the payroll person alone doing the direct deposits at your place of employment. I want Current to remain solvent so that is ok with me. I do have an issue with the amount of money you can deposit via checks. The limit is &2,000. Twice now I have had checks issued to me for over $2,000 with no ability to cash them. The last time I had to turn the check back in to the issuing party and have them write me 3 checks for less than $2000, which took an entire month. I deposited one check and it takes them longer than the usual 3 days to get to and be cleared by the Federal Reserve. It has been 2 business days and my single check I deposited still hasn’t cleared and I am expecting it will take another 3 days before the funds are in my account. It is an out of state -for me-bank so today I am driving an hour and half to cash the other two checks. When I get there I will have to present the checks to the bank, wait for them to call the issuing party to approve them and IF they get back to the bank in a timely manner I can get my money and drive back home. This will cost me a day and $50 in gas and food eating out for the day. This is the biggest inconvenience of this account. They need to fix this.

I have been using this app for years and it has only gotten better, with the new build card I have started to build credit and being able to have 4% apry for all 3 of my savings accounts means I am making about $1 a week on average just for having money that I would be saving up anyways. It’s also great to be able to still have access to my money with a virtual card even if I need to replace my old card(s) which I just did last month just because they’re getting old. It’s also nice to be able to send others money with the tap of a button and receive money from them just as easily. It’s safe secure and support will do everything they can to try and solve your problems and answer your questions. Your money is available anytime anywhere and you can easily turn your cards on/off anytime you might need to and block specific transactions or brands with a single tap. You can also use the Fee Free ATM Lovator to find the nearest ATMs that won’t charge you a fee to use them. You can deposit cash through some stores like Dollar General straight into your accounts. You can get fee free overdraft up to $200 when you have monthly direct deposits, you never get charged for using the overdraft if you ever need to use it. There are so many great features that you can’t get with a physical bank that make this app great and it makes saving money and building credit easier than anywhere else!

I’m only putting five stars because I can’t give 0 and people need to see this. Thought I’d try it out even though I was skeptical about it. I’ve been getting paid by my job 2 days prior ever since I switched to Dave and Albert. However, I wanted to try Current out. My job makes it very easy for its employees to switch accounts and add accounts whenever we want too, so last week I got my first check through Current while having a basic account I could see that on my normal payday of Tuesday the check was pending and it was released the next day, well this week I had a premium account which they actually do promise to deliver your check 2 days before your actual payday. Well yesterday I waited all day for my check to show up in the account, I mean there isn’t a check pending or anything. I’ve talked to 3 customer service representatives 2 had very bad attitudes because I had the most basic of questions and because once I found out that being a premium account holder sucked because you don’t get your check any earlier, I asked to go back to basic because premium cost 4.99/ mos. I’m probably just over the top and I don’t care because I don’t play about my money, so if you promise 2 days in advance you should deliver that. I’m going back to Dave because my savings accounts got paid yesterday. Just don’t do this to yourself you guys, if your use to getting paid 2 days before your actual payday just don’t do Current.
