Today is my regular payday and I was told by RushCard's CSR that they could not tell me whether or not my direct deposit has been processed or received. I have bills and the fact that all MR. SIMMONS can say is that he will pray for the people affected or if they Tweet him he will call them personally. This does not fix the problem and all the company can say is that our money is safe, while how do we know that if they can't even tell me whether or not a deposit is processed or received!
I did not find this information out from the CSR I spoke with, after waiting 20 minutes to speak with a CSR who provided no help at all besides collect information from me, neglect to tell me that they were having system problems. I processed to go online to check my account and when I typed in "RushCard login", an article popped up that had been posted 2 hours ago talking about thousands had been complaining about this very problem. Once I receive my payment I will be terminating my services with the immediately. DO NOT GET THE CARD!!!! BEWARE.

Like so many others, I have no access to my funds. I have 4 RushCards and all have had issues. I have 1 that $25 has disappeared into thin air and had another that was holding on to the $168 I transferred 2 weeks ago. With all the hassle going on, I went to try and withdraw the funds and received a decline from the ATM and now that $168 has disappeared. Trying to call Customer Service is a waste because the call is just disconnected. I sat on hold for 2 hours yesterday and no answer. This is a disgrace and very unfortunate. I almost lost my vehicle yesterday and now I have no clue what is going to happen with my direct deposit since it is too late to stop the load. I have been a member since 2006 and after this I will never ever use this service again. I hope I am one of the members who receive a call from Russell Simmons!

If I could give this place a zero I would. It's been 9 days with NO money and no answers. This is unacceptable, there's no way this is for a "system update". RushCard is hiding something. I have bills. I hope the employees of RC are looking for another job.

Our family has been without money for about a week now, with no answers. I have been a member since 2009 and I will never use this card after the treatment that we have received. People are hanging up in our faces, they are being very insensitive to the fact that thousands of us have no money because we simply can't access our funds, for the second week. Imagine how our families are feeling right now? Do not trust this company with your money, that's all I can say.

I, like many customers with Rushcard, have been having issues getting access to my money after they did some kind of a system upgrade. To top it all off, the balance on my account is incorrect because it is deducting money from my account without being able to do anything about it. I have not been approved for one transaction and this is ridiculous.

Two weeks ago RushCard did "maintenance" on their computers and crashed their systems. I have never had a problem receiving my state unemployment until last week when it took 3 hours for a supervisor to tell me that even though for 10 months money has gone into the same account between 1 and 1:15 pm est. When I was speaking to him at 5:30 est there was no record of my money. But I would be placed on a list of needing it immediately as I explained my son needs medication every Monday. The dose is based on the previous week and I was unable to get his medication. My car payment is also due Mondays creating a $35 overdraft fee. I was told this would be fixed this week. Needless to say I have been on hold for a supervisor for over 2 hours. And now they have a b.s. rule that you can only get card information from the cards phone number???!!! somewhere. Here there has to be a lawsuit and when someone finds it count me in!!!

I call and call. I get hung up on. I facebooked them, twitter them, emailed them still nothing. This is not a way to do business. Now my phone is off and no gas on my car and had to go to food banks to feed my kids over this. I been with RushCard since 2010. This is not acceptable.

I am the employer who process a direct deposit into my employee's account. My employee had not activated her card prior to the deposit. She called the 800-207-4109 to create pin, per instructions she went to add money to the card at MoneyGram. She added $20.00. When you look up her account it shows both her direct deposit and MoneyGram deposit has posted. Yet her activation is still pending. When try to call and get assistance, the automated service states they are transferring you to a member services agent.
According to Rushcard.com they have member services agent 24/7 7 days a week. My employee and myself have tried to reach RushCard member services for 5 days, all it does is ring and ring then eventually hangs up. In the meantime RushCard is holding my employee's money captive and she has been unable to access her funds, although she has completed ever task requested by RushCard. ***DO NOT TRUST YOUR MONEY TO THIS COMPANY!!! Buyer beware, do not open a RushCard account.

I understand they started an update last Monday 10/12/15 but since then, nothing has been correct. I called because I was concerned my insurance payment was not showing and it was showing paid on my insurance account. 3 different customer service reps continue to tell me I have a zero balance and no such payment to my insurance company has been made. I ask if my check will hit on time as normal this week, I was told they couldn't tell me; to use different means if I had the option.
Well I don't if I did, I would be using RushCard. So I have no idea if I will get paid this week, if my car insurance has been paid or if they will ever get it right. I have been patient a week. Still no idea what will happen this week. All they would tell me is they could not give me any idea when anything would be done, fixed or happen. I understand this has been a nightmare to them but what about the little fish here that live paycheck to paycheck, worrying if we are going to be on the street or without a vehicle because of this? RushCard, until now I have been a satisfied customer but this entire incident has left a really bad taste in my mouth and wallet.

I had to go away on business to Las Vegas on October 12, 2015, and upon my arrival, I reloaded my card in the amount of $500 at the register at a nearby CVS. The receipt I received from the store indicates that the money was reloaded successfully, however when I called Rushcard, (waited literally 1 hour to speak with a representative) there was no record of the reload. It is now October 19, 2015, and my money has yet to appear on my card, despite the fact that the representative told me that she was escalating the issue. I am very disappointed with Rushcard. Someone must do something about this. This is not a good way to do business. I have bills and everything is being declined left and right. I am thinking of speaking with an attorney to see what my options are, because it's unacceptable that Rushcard has not yet resolved this issue.

My check was deposited on Fri 10/16 although normally it is deposited the morning before. No big deal. The day extra is a courtesy whereas Fri is my actual payday. The problem is I lost the card that my check is deposited to but I lost it because I accidentally threw it in the garbage. I didn't really want to get a new card yet I was just going to transfer the funds to my other RushCard and get account through a bank. Unfortunately because they screwed up their system I can't transfer money anywhere. I want to send a check to myself through bill pay but I can't talk to anyone to verify the check will actually be mailed in a timely fashion because I can't get through to anyone. I don't want to set it up and create a bigger issue AND have my money unaccounted for.

I was able to use my RushCard to pay bills or make online purchases, and it’s very convenient. I can also setup pre-payments for a date, and I know that the funds will be there. One thing I definitely like about it is my pay date, since my direct deposit always goes in the day before, which is great for me. This way, if I want to make a payment, it’s always there. I used to do reload all the time, but when their bank changed, my direct deposit stopped so I was back to reloading. I called RushCard, and their team gave me information immediately, which was fine. However, it got back again, so now I use the direct deposit frequently compared to reloading. We don’t have a bank account, and RushCard is very convenient, economical, and good. It’s crazy that I have to pay the $4.95 to load, but nothing is free and other than that, I’d recommend them.

Been a customer since 2008 and no "real" issues until 10/14/2015. Left one job and started a new one expecting a direct deposit from both. Only received a deposit from company X and not company Y. Tried calling RUSH and phone hangs up after 3-4 rings. Tried calling different times of the day and same issue. Got gas at Circle K $38.10 and two deductions posted - one for $38.10 and another invalid overcharge for $100. Finally did some research online and discovered that several people affected by a "technology glitch" that took place on the 11th. I figured RUSH was working to resolve the issues and it would be fixed overnight.
Thursday, 10/15 still no second deposit from company Y and the $100 overcharge from Circle K still there. Called RUSH at 6:30 am MST only to be on hold for 45 minutes and no answer, call disconnected. Checked mobile app throughout the day and it showed several "pending" transactions which greatly differed from the online website showing several different transactions. Tried calling again with no luck just the 3-4 rings and disconnected. Decided to withdraw whatever funds were available from a Money Pass ATM (to avoid the $2.50 fee Rush and $3.00 fee from ATM) and then deposited that into my B of A account.
Friday, 10/16 still no resolution. Called RUSH customer service and still no answer after 12 rings. Decided to email agent@rushcard.com to express my concerns. Provided a detailed account of issues ranging from missing second direct deposit, overcharges $100 Circle K (BTW- spoke to merchant store & regional office accounting- no error there), missing txn from Netflix and Fry's Grocer, overcharges 8 of $1.00 each transaction fees (are to reimbursed after $10 maximum met- met max 10/9), duplicate charges for Wal-mart $87.99 (already posted 10/9) but now showing "pending" affecting balance. Received an automated email with a ticket #** with a scripted verbiage to resolve within 12 hours of receipt of email.
10/17/15 - Still no second deposit or any resolution email-- nothing. Called customer service at 7:00 am MST and was on hold for 2 hours and 9 mins-- I just hung up. Sent another email with detailed accounts of issues and issued another ticket #** - same scripted 12 hour promised response. Called again and held for 45 mins- WOW, someone answered. I began to express my concerns and the rep immediately apologized for the issues and provided a scripted response, "Ma'am please rest assured your funds are secured and we are working diligently to resolve the issues. Unfortunately, I can access your account or any account on my system so we are offering to take customers phone numbers and to text them when the issues have been resolved." I laughed and hung up. 10/18/15 - Still NOTHING and I'm sitting here typing my complaint on any board that will allow me to.

I have been a RushCard member since 2009. I never had a problem with my card until October 12, 2015 when they started the upgrade system. Today is 10-18-2015 and I still can't get access to my money. But one thing for sure is Russell Simmons and his family are eating today, his bills are paid, he is not going through any of the craziness that so many of us are. I wonder how he would feel if this happen to him and all customer services does is apologize and still can't give you a resolution to your problem.

There has been a system glitch with a scheduled upgrade for the company. Since then I have not been able to access my money. One day it has a balance, the next day it does not. I have been patient and allowed what needed to be fixed go on for the last 5 days. Over the weekend I tried to call customer service because I am in need of my money, I have been to pawn shops and borrowed money but I am running out of options. I was on hold for 3 hours and 41 minutes the first time with no contact. The next try I held for over 2 hours. I am getting very worried as my paycheck is due to be deposited in 3 days. I cannot talk to anyone and there is no change with my account. I am sitting at a zero balance. As I speak.

RushCard has been excellent so far so I'm still sticking with it. I've been with them so long and have recommended them to friends, people and family to try it out. I have multiple checks deposited, such as state check, social security check, and SSI check. They all come in different days, earlier than when they were supposed to come. They don't come all together in one shot. When I need to take out all of the money, I have to take out a certain amount of money to pay a bill, because I got to make the money order instead of paying it with the card. It's difficult because sometimes they don't give me the whole lump sum at one time. They give me a certain sum and I have to wait a couple of days to try to get the rest of the lump sum, to make that money order for my payments, but I don't worry about that. Overall, their team is friendly and they answer my questions. They're great. I've been satisfied with them and it's been a good experience.

I have used RushCard for a couple of years now. I have the direct deposit option and I use it to get my cash early, pay bills and my online payments. But my experience with RushCard has been a little bad for the past couple of days. When I tried to go onto my account on my mobile app, it said I had to change my password, so I changed my password. But then I went on to my account and it’s saying that I have $115 on there. Before they did the update, I only had $15 on there, so I didn’t want to touch that money. And then my check goes on in Friday and they took $100 away from me because they put $100.
I'd like to know what's going on with my account, but every time I called them the line hangs up on me. My money is supposed to be deposited on there tomorrow from my check and I want to make sure that they won't drain my account and I'm able to get my money. I’m going to stop using the RushCard because it’s been nothing but an issue with me. I cleaned up my bank account and I’m going to start using that again. And another reason why I'm not going to be using the RushCard anymore is that it charges you twice when you go to the ATM to take out money, first for the ATM fee and then for the RushCard fee .

So now I'm stranded far from home and my phone is shut off since my payment was not able to be processed. So now I must seek legal assistance because this is not right. Who's going to pay late fees reconnect fees? Are we waiting on Russle to finish meditating on the resolution? People's lives are being severely affected by this and all they can say is "we apologize" a lawyer has been contacted. After reading these reviews it's funny that the great ones are acknowledge but all others just say they are being worked on...

I applied for a RushCard after it was recommended by a friend. The application process was pretty simple. The card arrived, I easily established a PIN and an online acct and set up my payroll check to be automatically deposited to my new RushCard account. Payday came and my funds were nowhere to be found and my card was said to be inactive. After several hours on hold trying to contact customer service I was informed that there had been a technology glitch and my funds would be available the next day. This was a huge inconvenience but I waited patiently. The next day came and went and still no funds. I've spoken with customer service supervisors multiple times and am getting a complete runaround.
One day I was told they were processing the funds and I would be contacted personally via phone and email within a few hours when they would be available. Waited, nothing happened! When I was finally able to contact someone again I was told that they didn't know when my money was going to be available, they're working on it. It's now been 3 days and I have a $1400 paycheck I cannot access. This is MY money that I work hard for and my family depends on. It's 4:00 am and I am up with anxiety because I've now exhausted all my resources and when my 2 small children wake up I literally have nothing to feed them! Yet I am told sorry for the inconvenience, wait.
We passed inconvenience 2 days ago, this is my livelihood. This is beyond unfair and unacceptable! This should not be allowed to happen! It is my sincere hope that I am quickly granted access to my funds so that I may withdraw every last dime and that RushCard is put out of business and forced to pay me and the thousands of others affected some sort of restitution for their "inconvenience". I would not recommend RushCard to ANYONE and will personally never use another prepaid debit card again! I'm going old school with paper checks and cash as it seems to be the safest way to handle money these days!

But since the update, I was not notified as to having funds deposited on my account & the other company took all but $4.00. It is all I have for the week.

I first started using RushCard in 2012. I had some issues with card so I stopped using card. Well a few months ago I decided to give RushCard another shot and everything was going fine until Wednesday the 14th. Well check didn't deposit and after 2hours of being on hold I was told money would be on card Friday. Well Friday hits and I check online account and account is pending, not to mention my check was available Thursday. So I started calling customer service at 9 am. I was hung up on at least 7 times after being on hold after every 30 minutes. I finally got to speak with someone at 9:45 pm just for them to tell me they don't know when my money will be available.

This is by far the worst customer experience I have ever faced. I was expected to receive a payroll deposit this Tuesday 10/13/15 however I have not yet received any funds on my card. This has tremendously caused an inconvenience for my family and I. Whatever means necessary I will make sure this makes it to the national headlines. I am disgusted with the poor customer service that's provided when speaking with a rep. On numerous occasions I have spoken to several reps where it is blamed on a system update and when I request to speak with a supervisor, I am placed on hold for hours on end with no one that comes back on the line. It's a shame that this has caused a great inconvenience to other consumers and I'm quite sure there will be others gladly to have another vendor handle their financial affairs. An apology would not resolve this issue.. I want this resolved immediately.

I’ve been with RushCard for about 15 years. I chose them because I like the fact that they were giving back the dollar after $10 but that ended a few years back. They were honest and trustworthy and that’s what motivated me to come on to them. I always use my card to make online purchases and pay bills and another thing I like is we can set a vendor up and RushCard will mail the vendor a check on a monthly basis out of our account.
Also, their budget analysis tells me where I'm spending most of my money. I remember looking at mine a few years back and it was more for out to eat. So I cut my portion of eating out and it encouraged me to lose weight and save as well. So I get flexibility, comfort and convenience. I’ve used both its reload feature and early direct deposit. Any job I’ve ever worked in, I’ve got them for direct deposit. I have three bank accounts and I trust RushCard more with my money from my job. I will just take money out of the RushCard and put it into my savings and split it up as needed. The only thing is that there used to be a point in time where I can get up to $1,500 out of the ATM. Now I can only get $500 a day and it’s horrible. I have to go into the bank and show my card and ID, which is actually cheaper if I do it that way, but it’s a pain to have to go into the bank to do that.
And if my card has ever been compromised, I was always able to get my money back right away. I had two or three disputes in the 15 years I’ve been with RushCard and each and every time, they were very nice, professional, and gave me my money until the investigation was done. That made me comfortable knowing that I can put my money into the bank and if something happens, they have my back. I tell everybody and I even posted it on my Facebook. If you’re going to get a prepaid card, you might as well go with RushCard because they’re the best out there right now.

I have been a RushCard cardholder for over 5 years. I never experienced such lack of regard for its customers as I have this past week. I normally get my direct deposit on my RushCard every other Wednesday (one day early). Well, after realizing it was not there I attempted to reach customer service with no luck. You either get a message that the lines are busy and it hangs up, or it transfers you to someone and it hangs up. I cannot access my account online either. So, I ended up getting my direct deposit Thursday, or so I thought.
Here's where the real nightmare begins. I made two phone payments, ($200 total) and then my card starting declining everywhere I try to use it. I cannot access cash at all. I should have a balance of over $700, but when I call the automated system it says my balance is $0. This has got to be illegal. I am a single mom of four kids and have absolutely NO MONEY right now, even though I just got paid. COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!!!!

I am still unable to get my new card activated. I have rent due and I need to get food for my kids. No one has answers as to why and how long this will take but since this has been going on I have had to go and get food from a pantry and from my kids' school and borrow money for gas to get back and forth to work.

This issue was supposed to be a 1 day update that has turned into a number of financial issues for many. I cannot even access my online acct, can't activate my new card that was sent because RushCard system is telling me my social security number is invalid.
The customer service number is also a waste of damn time as I was on hold an hour and 20 minutes yesterday for a message to come on and say, "Due to the overwhelming amount of calls please call back another day."

I am very disappointed in this company. I have had my card for several years and have had a few issues in the past but nothing like the experience I had this past week. After a horrible divorce and an ex-husband that totally ruined me I have been trying very hard to rebuild everything but still pretty much live paycheck to paycheck. I know to someone like Russell Simmons, who has more money than 100,000 people see in a lifetime put together, my measly $50,000 a year is nothing but it is all I have and I work very hard for it.
I have been using Rushcard as a bank account and I have my paycheck direct deposited so when I get paid I expect to be able to use my card. This has been a nightmare, not only do I not have access to my current funds but I can't access my paycheck either. I hate cutting it close when paying my bills but I hate it even more when I have to be late especially when it is someone else's fault. Where I live if you are late they shut off your utilities and repossess your vehicle so what am I supposed to live in the dark and walk 45 miles to work because I trusted Rushcard?? I have notified my employer and canceled my direct deposit and I have also opened a new account with someone else so this won't happen again.
This has cost me a lot and my stress level is through the roof but I think the worst part is that they don't even care. Russell Simmons can say what he wants to but I can bet he has never called his own customer service. Not only do you get someone overseas every time you call (if you actually get a person) but they never know what's going on. This past week with all these problems if you try to call not only do you not get answers, they don't even try anymore. They just disconnect the call.

On Monday October 12, 2015 at around 9 am I saw a posting on Facebook that said the update was taking a little longer than expected and that it should be complete by 12 pm that same day. I previously had a balance of $49 on my card. Around 1 pm I tried to make an online transaction in the amount of $6.98 and it was declined. At that point I realized my funds were not accessible. I attempted to call RushCard (UniRush) several times and sent emails between 10-12-15 and 10-15-15 but received no response. There was no communication sent out to neither myself nor my husband who is also a cardholder. He typically receives his Direct Deposit paycheck bi-weekly on Wednesday morning by 1 pm.

Our 3 life insurance policy payments (including our young daughter's) which are set up to be automatically withdrawn on the 13th and 14th of every month have been terminated. Our rent is due on the 15th of every month and we do not have access to our paychecks to pay this month's rent on time.

So she tells my last direct deposit info and say they have nothing and to call back and I'm like no...
So I can sit on the phone for hours or not be able to get through at all. So I asked to speak to manager and she had me on hold another hour then it was her again that answered, said her manager couldn't get to the phone by that time. I already looked up my pay stub online and gave her the trace number and told her how much my job direct deposit on my card which would be the amount that should be on my card now and she still couldn't find it. I asked her, "Ok, so what did my money just vanish or did someone steal it, like let me know something because my employer sent my paycheck to RushCard already." and she like, "Give it an hour or two and call back because it could be the fact that their system is updating." but I said, "Whatever."
I knew I wasn't going to be able to get in contact with another customer service representative when got off the phone several hours ago. I want to know where is my money, why didn't it show up on my direct deposit, and why is RushCard giving everyone the run around. It's something shady going on because my money should've popped up when this lady looked it up. Once again I'm pregnant and starving and need to lay my head down somewhere and RushCard might have stolen my money since they can't find it and money doesn't just disappear on its own.

A coworker told me about Rushcard and you get paid two days early using its debit card so I went ahead and got one. However, they don't sometimes do the two days early as advertised, so we have to call in but lately they've been on time. Also, I have been able to manage my finances better. I got another card to put my social security check on, but I'm still afraid of doing it because I don't want the delay. Once in a while, I put a hundred on it, so I am figuring out how to do that comfortably without having any delay in my payments. Moreover, paying bills and purchasing online using RushCard is very convenient. But I'm not happy that I get charged for putting my money on the card. But other than that, their team has been great and I've recommended Rushcard to other people. Overall, I like Rushcard because if I didn't, I would pull my money out and not use it.

The latest incident is that RushCard decides to upgrade their software and loses all of the direct deposit that were sent to them from everyone's employer. Never once apologize for the inconvenience, instead they've stated there's no further information that they can provide because they're unable to access the system or locate any deposits.
I demand to speak with a supervisor and they said that the supervisor has no knowledge of how to access the system and it's unavailable to them. I also demand to speak with someone whom has the knowledge of what's going on with my funds. The customer service representative told me there's isn't anything else they can provide me with any further information because they're unable to access their system. I tried to stress to them that I'm single parent and I have family to provide for and you fail to give me the option of changing my direct deposit, knowing your system were going to malfunction.
