It's alright but aimed more at younger people. The borrow feature doesn't care that you get paid monthly and automatically wants repayment in two weeks, customer service doesn't care so it's stuck at a measly $50 max and $5??? Joke! Their cards run as credit and won't link anywhere with cashapp or anything like that. Cashapp gave me over draft and $50 borrow without even having direct deposit so that's where I updated my direct deposit to. None of their earn cash "points" offers ever pay...

Hi Justin, We're sorry to see this and will be sure to share your feedback with our team. To clarify, you can link your Step bank account and Step card to Cash App, but Cash App may require you to attach a debit card. For more information, please send us a message via chat or email us at hello@step.com - We're here to help! 💙💗💛

I've been using this for about 5 years now. This is the only way I was able to build credit, and it has been very helpful. I find it to be more secure than most banking apps. I like how if there isn't enough money in your account and your monthly subscription tries to pull out, it won't let them charge your account until there is enough money in the account. I get direct deposit from work, and I get paid 2 days early depending on when payroll happens.

Great app to start, so easy to transfer money to my kids when they needed a little extra while out and about. I don't have to drive to them or go get cash. But with the fee new structure, fees for transfers under $25 will cause me to be looking for another option. I can't always afford $25 to send each kid. Let alone, my kids won't save it. If it's there, they'll use it. Sending $5 or $10 for some small job they did is reasonable. $25 is just too much every time.

Hi Kendra! Thank you so much for this feedback on our new fee structure. A suggestion - you can always transfer a bulk amount to your personal Step account, then P2P funds to your teen's. There are no fees when transferring money between two Step accounts. Let us know if you have any other feedback! You can reach us at hello@step.com 💙💗💛
