I have been with Rushcard since 2011 and I have never been treated like this, I had multiple transactions I didnt do and card was not stolen or lost it was still in my possession and I called to dispute them, they issued out new card and but never paused my current card and I ended up with 18 total transactions due to that, and now its been 3wks and I have yet to receive a card and I have nearly 3000 on my current card thats blocked and they wont let me speak with anyone about it they just send you to a chat thats kicks you out when you write something or they tell you to wait 1 to 2 business days for a rep to get back with you.
At this point I'm broke and my job dd is with them, I have changed it but it wont take affect for weeks so I'm broke until I my new dd takes place or rushcard decides to give me my money. But I most definitely will be filing a lawsuit against them for withholding funds and basically stealing. Do not I repeat do not apply for a Rushcard, and if you have one already I advise you get your funds off it throw it way, before this happens to you.

My stimulus payment loaded onto my Rushcard and I noticed that they kept nearly $200 and provided no reason - no charge was listed, nothing. This has now happened again, only for more money this time and again, no charge or explanation of fees or anything. I switched banks because of this and now my balance says $0 but under "Transactions" it shows a negative balance for the second amount they took.
I have called every day since this happened (about 2 months) and either have waited for over an hour and been hung up on, never received any answer when calling, or any type of reason (that made any sense whatsoever) or resolution given. The three times I have spoken to customer service I have been told, "Our computers took the money out mistakenly," but they gave me no date of when I would get my money back, why it was taken in the first place, or why they show the missing funds in an obscure location on my account and not on the main landing page. I am on disability and really need the rest of my stimulus payment and am worried about the second charge they created causing possible credit problems down the road.

I am a 10 year Happy customer of Rushcard in spite of the disappointing dispute I've been dealing with since 5/26/20, when I went to the Allpoint Atm to make my withdraw but my transaction denied but withdrew from my account. I notified rushcard the same day, they told me about the dispute on the recording but they didn't email me anything until a second call to them on the 28th. Faxed them the proof on the 29th And I can't get a credit to my account until 6/11/20 because of they're delay. What I really don't understand is, I'm a 10yr. customer and you have access to my Direct Deposit. But you can't look at the proof and speed up the process to get me out of a financial hardship for using your Atm. I'm disappointed But Loyal!

I have had a very bad experience with RushCard. I had three transactions that I am disputing on my card and no one is willing to return my money back to me. I've been a customer since 2010 and I think that I should be treated in a different manner with this transaction. I have had a very bad experience with the customer service representative. They they do not help you in trying to resolve the matter. I am just so done with RushCard altogether.

So I had a RushCard a year ago for my taxes, stopped using it but come to find out my stimulus check went on that card. I cannot get a hold of anyone after an email sent to me from Rush Card told me about my direct deposit. I cannot get a new card because every time I call my wait time goes up and not down. My 1200 is on my RushCard account and I CANNOT GET A NEW CARD, WHY??? I am reporting you to the IRS cause this is not right. I ain't never had so much trouble out of one card, I would give you minus 2 stars. How can I survive if I can't get my money the Government sent in this crisis?????

I've been with RushCard for over 7 years now and never had a reason to change my phone number so I never bothered. MY STATE RETURN WAS DEPOSITED INTO MY RUSHCARD ACCOUNT ON 04/15/2020, ALONG WITH MY STIMILUS CHECK ON 04/15/2020 and to this date rushcard has not credited my account. What I have a hard time wrapping my head around, is why is not some kind of safeguard set up in case one does not remember his/her phone number (and I'm not talking about the 4-5 security questions they ask) for after answering them, they still intend for you to fax a i.d, social and proof of address: (I WOULD THINK MY MONEY WILL BE LONG GONE BY THEN). Were all locked down with no access to a fax machine etc. We're fighting for our lives out here during this virus, and this is how rushcard responds to its customers. Pretty good indication that someone is dropping the ball.

I am writing this review because I have to comment on the customer service that is provided. It takes plenty prompts to even get to a live person and when you do speak with them most of them are not very helpful. I have been a member since 2018 and every time I have a less than productive experience I say I am going to cancel, however the only thing that stops me is that I am able to get my direct deposit two days earlier which has been very helpful.
I say all that to say WITH everything that is going on with Covid -19, it would be more conducive to speak to an agent for status information. I have used the chat options (which is not viable) at all because all it tells you is go to the government website to check status which I have done numerous times (which shows it was deposited with RushCard as of two days ago) yet I have yet to receive a response because I did send emails. The automated system is concise YET all it does is tell you what it CANNOT do and now agents cannot access our account information- how is that even possible. If the government website says it’s been deposited I would LIKE TO KNOW where my STIMULUS CHECK is. This isn’t rocket science and it only takes a moment to reassure people in a time where they don’t know what the next steps are. Do Better RushCard!

I have had RushCard since 2014. I have recently discovered someone has hacked my card information and was making multiple transactions that totaled to $700. These purchases were made in California, I live in Richmond, VA. First, it is beyond me that they allowed the purchases to go through in the first place, seeing they are made across the country. How come it wasn't flagged, and I wasn't notified about these transactions. Second, it has been over a week, and not only has my new card arrived, but these transactions has NOT been credited back to my account yet.
Every time I tried to call, there is a recording stating there is a high call volume, try my call again later, and the call is disconnected. This carried on for 2 days before I was able to speak to a live rep. Third, I told the rep to email me the forms, so I can expedite the investigation process. She did not email them, she MAILED them. At this point, I am truly disappointed and disgusted about this ordeal being a loyal customer for so many years. I would not recommend using this company.

I have been trying to contact Rushcard for 2 days to have my account unlocked and also order a card. I get the same message, "All our representatives are busy. Try again later". So disappointed.

Horrible service. Money was deposited to the card but the card I have expired. I hadn’t used the card in months. Tried to call to get a new card. Recording referred me to website. Website wouldn’t let me create acct. recording repeatedly says exp high call volume. Meanwhile my money is just sitting there & in the midst of Covid-19. I have bills to pay. Also sent emails- no response. They managed to charge me a $9 fee but have no one available to take calls. How do a company take money but have no means of communication available to their customers?

I've been a RushCard holder for years. My account was froze and the only way you can unfreeze your account is by calling. So I called and went through everything just to be hung up on. I've been calling for 3 days straight and still nothing. I was given a option to write a person online that sent me off with a email that said I would get a response within 24 hours. Here I am 4 days later without a response or any money. This is unfair and I feel like my money is being held hostage. I can't even get into my account because it's locked so I'm stuck...

I understand that Covid-19 is an issue with places closing. But the urgency in disputing charges, replacement cards should also be a priority. I've been calling for 3 days and can't get through. This is not the first time that I've had issues with getting to a live person. Just to try to speak to someone. I always had to "claim lost or stolen card". I've been with Rushcard since 2008 even more within the last 3 yrs for early deposit on my paycheck. The website, App have no type of solution. If I have to wait 'til Friday then so be it. Not worth the hassle of trying to talk to someone.

My experience is exactly that of Rebecca of Olathe, KS. I was debited from GOOGLE*YOUTUBE SUPER INTERNET 94043 CA and lost thousands of dollars. I paused the card and called Rushcard on numerous times. I have even recorded the call where they tell you that due to the COVID epidemic, there are fewer live representatives and then hang up soon after they tell you the call volume is very high. They don't even keep you on the line, they just hang up. I have been with RushCard since 2011 and have had many similar issues. I was only able to dispute the charges from google pay, and only some of the money has been returned. I believe this should be followed up by the Better Business Bureau.

I been with Rushcard over 5 years never had a issue until this last 4 months.1000 dollars was stolen off my card march 2020. I called 5 days straight couldn't get in contact with no one. I emailed them bout it. They sent me a message from an automatic machine generator. This was over a week and half ago. I went to the website which has limited functions. They told me to write them. Did you read it right? Write them. Are you serious. There's no credit card company in the world where you can't get in contact with somebody by phone besides rushcard. You can literally have thousands of your dollars on card and you can't talk to anybody by phone.
Where's the consideration at for loyal customers. It's certain disputes that need to be addressed as soon as possible by phone. When you see almost 1000 dollars took from your card in you can't talk to anybody. The transaction was pending in all rushcard. Had to do was have a agent stop payment but when you have no agents available for 5 days straight. It's ridiculous.

I like that since RushCard is prepaid, you put on there what you need so you can’t use what's not there. I like the convenience of loading it any time I want to. And it’s kinda instant, as opposed to if going to the bank and depending on how much. The direct deposit was a great feature because it does what it says on TV that you could get it two days before the normal payday.
The difference between that card and a bank is that if there's something unauthorized, it takes a long time when dealing with the RushCard for you to get a response for it to be resolved. Normally with a bank, it’s more like a day turnaround. With Rush, it’s like a week. Also if you use RushCard a lot, you’re only paying $5 a month. With banks, if you don’t have direct deposit or if you don't make 10 transactions a month, you get a maintenance fee anyway.
Even though it’s prepaid, you can just about use that card anywhere and not have any issues. The only time there was a problem was that some places don’t do prepaid cards, you can’t attach that card to Cash App because of the fact that it is a prepaid card. I noticed when you’re out of the country, you can’t use that card either. But overall, I had a good experience with them. I have a friend, sister and her kids get on it.

I had the Rushcard card since 2005 and everything was good. The customer service have gotten worse over the years. I like it because of the two days early paycheck but just recently they suspended my account. I have no access to my money. Can't get in touch with no one. With everything that's going on the rushcard really inconvenienced me still not knowing day by day how I'm going to feed my kids because I have no access to my money. I took my direct deposit off the rushcard because when I get paid I can't afford to not be able to access my money so I'm not satisfied with the rushcard at all. The rushcard had no reason to suspend my account.

I heard about them from a family member and I went with them because of the early pay. I used to like that I got paid on Wednesdays instead of Fridays. But it switched and I was getting paid on Thursdays, and then sometimes I got paid on Fridays. It was also hard to even get somebody on the phone. When you call the customer service line, you have to press it for something that you do not want. They do not have a customer service line for other things. It has to be like you’ve lost your card or things like dispute a charge in order to get somebody to address stuff. I have had this card for 10 years and it used to be way better, but I do not know what happened. It took a curve in the last couple of years because I switch back all the time -- I just switched from RushCard. They need to make a lot of updates. They are stuck in the past. The website, nevertheless, is perfect.

I get paid two days earlier from work with RushCard which is a plus for me. With the card, I’ve been able to keep up with bills and pay them online. But I had an issue about a year ago where I couldn't put as much money on there as I thought I could. I had to come in on two different days to do it. Also, I have a hard time getting in contact with someone when I need to speak about an issue that I have. The website is awesome but sometimes, I feel like I need to speak to a live representative. Other than those, it's been okay. RushCard is a great service to use and I would highly recommend their services. The fees are okay. I get direct deposit so I’m only charged a monthly fee versus the dollar every transaction.

I've been with RushCard since they came out. I got it because at that time, I didn't have a bank account and I needed to go online and do stuff and pay bills. However, there are hidden fees. I've gone online and looked at my transactions and tried to do my own research, but I haven't asked them where all the fees came from. Other than that, it seems to be fine. It's also a nice benefit to be getting paid early. They also have a pretty simple website that's easy to use.
