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 šŸ’™šŸ’—šŸ’›

Sometimes apps are confusingly set up, but since this is made for literal children, it's all very simple and easy to use, and this 20-year-old likes that. I also like that I was able to talk to reps. in the app and get verified by alternative means (because I don't have any gov. ID), I got a virtual number that's ready to use while I wait for the physical card, and it will supposedly help build my credit. The only thing missing that would make this PERFECT is the ability to deposit checks.
