Hello JR,

Sorry for the delay in our reply.  There are a few financial institutions that will post a direct deposit 2-3 days before the settlement date although at this time we do not offer that feature.  We are always looking into ways of improving
our card features and services. Thanks for your feedback. If you would like additional assistance regarding your account or if you have a few additional questions, we'd like to help. Please send us an email at customerserviceRR@accountnowinc.com and reference your name, last four digits of your card number, and best phone number to reach you at. Thanks again.

I agree with all the people here making this absolute scamming companies dirty little/big lies. I ordered my card on February 19th counting on receiving it as advertised within 5-7 business days after sign up. By march 1st there's still nothing, when i called it took 45 minutes to speak to some representative way out in India, who doesn't apparently know that any us mail going from ca to nv does not take longer than 2 days and according to them they sent the card on February 21st. Then she went on to state it takes 5-7 business days well hello it's march 1st next thing you know it's 5pm and she hangs up the phone. I called all through the weekend and everytime was put on hold for at least forty minutes NOT 5MIN... they have absolutely no representatives that are American or in America and they're absolutely clueless way down there in India. March 5th my tax refund is supposed to be deposited on march 6th and these people keep telling me it's not then but the post office, well how come my boa card arrived yesterday just fine. I stated reading up on them and apparently there are thousands of people being ripped off by thus company, transferring tax refunds into other accounts, stealing cards and account numbers, stealing direct deposits that go up in thin air, delayed deposits, and so on and so forth. As if people who needed to open an account with them don't already have it difficult enough this billion dollar profiting company wants to rip us off and make life even harder. We have kids we need to feed, rent we have to pay etc, i think you idiots from ACCOUNTNOW should pay our late fees and be charged just like you charge us for everything. I'm so scared they're going to steal my hard earned refund like they did so many others apparently. As I've read they never respond our resolve any issues when youcall them and their customer service (what a joke) is only open til 5pm. But hello people most companies with reps just in India are scamming companies, because india is one of the highest rated identity theft countries in the world, being that they're untouchable way across, being that they work with information of people ask across the world, they steal credit card numbers all the time and sell them off to America, Europe,Africa etc. that's credit card numbers basically they sell, and this company is full of these scanners. And then there's the big fish stealing by holding onto or monies unlawfully longer than what they're supposed to, to collect more interest money. I'd be very immersed in a class action lawsuit against this horrible company!!! We need to unite and fight these crooks

I too had an account with netspend and that's when I first learned that social security releases funds a week or so before the 1st of every month.  With netspend my disability money was posted on my account as soon as social security released the funds.  The Account Now rep here is telling a story which I know for a fact is way less than the truth.  You are holding our funds probably for the interest like another has said. I think since you are doing so you should share that interest with your account holders and make adjustments to our deposits which reflect part of that interest in our favor.  Say what you want but I know better. Thanks

I just recently opened an account with accountnow also. I had a netspend account, which both of these prepaid cards use the same bank (Metabank). I used Netspend for 2 years and I switched this month to Accountnow because they offer credit builder.

Anyway I get SSI every month for my sons and when I had Netspend, my direct deposit always came between the 23rd and 28th of every month. I checked my Accountnow balance and it still said 0.00 in my account. I looked into my actual account and the deposit has been put in the account and they won't release the direct deposit until this Thursday the 31st. I have bills to pay that are due tomorrow the 29th. I have called and emailed all day and can't get through to anyone!!!

I wiil be taking my money out of this account and have my direct deposit going back into my netspend account and get a secured credit card to build my credit back up. To the employee, you are a straight out lie about not being able to release funds. I have been getting my direct deposit at least 4 days to 1 week earlier every month for the past 2 years. Accountnow sucks and I would advise people to not use them. Metabank needs to just stick with Netspend All Access.

Amanda, I'm very sorry that you experienced issues with your Direct Deposit posting in a timely manner.  Often the sender of the deposit will send us a deposit in advance of the actual posting date.  We post deposits to our customer accounts based on the posting date due to the regulations imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank.  For direct deposits, it is the sender of the funds that controls when the funds are available, which in this case appears to be your employer.

We are also sorry to hear that you have experienced a delay in speaking to someone in our Customer Service team.  Our average wait time to speak to a live agent continues to be under five minutes, and if you would contact us via the number on the back of your card and select the Customer Services option we will be more than happy to provide you with further information related to your deposit.

We appreciate you being an AccountNow customer.
