SCAM. Third chance... Just tried again and made a purchase for $29. A $34 "no fee" charge was reflected in the Albert account. Also, not sure why the advertise that you can borrow $250, you CAN'T. MoneyLion is much better and you'll build credit. Edit: pretty sure "Emma the support specialist" is a bot. Now, I can't even use the debit card and I'm still charged a $10 monthly fee.

Bad app, don't waste your time. I put 50 in the investing section of the app and never got any return. They offered cash advance for a long time and even though I never missed a re-payment they dropped the amount to $1 instead of $100. And now that I've tried deactivating the account it has taken weeks to get my money out and close it.

So you provide personal and banking information, giving them the ability to pretty much take your identity. But there no customer support line or live agent to assist with issues that the app has. The app has yet to verify my bank account information that I provided 2 weeks ago. I tried to close the account but it's asking for the last 4 digits of my debit card that I never received. Soon, I'll be charged a fee for an app that's not doing anything.
