PC collective complaint

A Collective Complaint helps you unite consumers dealing with the same issue, such as wrong charges, unexpected fees, damaged items, or misleading promises. It goes beyond a single review by growing stronger with every signature, making it harder to ignore. Once you reach 20 supporters, we’ll send it to the company to encourage a response.

Replaced card

AI Highlights
  • - ATM cash withdrawals are not possible.
  • - It is not usable at listed 7-Eleven or Walmart.
  • - They seek guidance to link the card to a bank account.

The main issue for not only myself, likely other people as well, is that it's not always possible to use the card to obtain cash at ATMs..

No matter if there's a charge or not, that's not the issue. You just can't go even to the listed 7-Eleven or Walmart so you're able to use it quickly and easily.

It is frustrating and time consuming.

Please advise how I can even tie this card to my bank .. Thank you

I have gotten paid and never once...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Paid earlier, now cannot login; password resets still fail.
  • - Will email until resolved; notes 24/7 support and 26-minute holds.

I have gotten paid and never once couldn't log in. All of a sudden, I can't log in; my passwords are incorrect even after I do a forgot password and make a new one.

Signing in seems very fishy that it just stops working.

I will keep emailing until this is resolved, and the 24/7 help call maybe hire more employees that like to do their job. I have sat on hold for 26 minutes.

Pros:
  • Instant pay
Cons:
  • No way to contact a person fast

Preferred solution: into my account to get my money .

User's recommendation: don’t use if you think a issue can occur and you won’t be helped

Hi Brendon, I see where you were paid today and transferred funds off your account. The only way you would have been able to transfer funds is by using the app.

If you continue to have issues, please either chat with us in the app or call (844) 466-9361 and we can assist. Sincerely Instant Support

Don't have any advice since I can't get through to anyone. I hit every option they have, left a return number, and stayed on the phone for hours and nothing.

Original review Apr 04, 2026

I have never seen a company where, one, you can’t talk to anyone, or two, the app doesn’t have a cancellation option. I do not like how they operate with my pay.

Preferred solution: My service canceled

User's recommendation: This did not work for me

Pending charge ,can't get answer to

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The app makes it hard to reach a human.
  • - Instantcard lacks chip or tap.
  • - I'm forced to use it and there is a $3.50 transfer fee.

Trying to speak to someone human, this app does not let you explain what you are looking for! Also, why does the instant card not have a chip or tap?

It's very inconvenient. We are forced by our employer to use this card. Also, why is there a $3.50 charge to transfer money?

We are forced to use this. The least y'all could do is not charge!

Preferred solution: No charge for transferring money from this card to my bank,it's ridiculous we are charged 3.50 for every transfer ! We are forcedto use this cardbonwe

User's recommendation: Dont use

Hi Darlene, Currently, our cards do not have a chip, but can be used wherever VISA is accepted. We offer a number of ways to access your funds without a fee; you can use the card at a point of sale, withdraw from an in-network ATM or transfer funds to your bank account via ACH.

If we can assist with a specific issue, please reach out to our call center at 844.466.9361 or chat with us in the Instant app. Sincerely, Instant Support
