I’ve been using this app since the end of Feb 2026 and this is my opinion: My previous banking app is closing in June so I was in search of a bank who paid me 4 to 5 days early just like them… My search lead me to the purple app. Sign up was rough, it wasn’t verifying me so I had to talk to a representative. After that I was verified and I was able to get my SSI check switched over. I actually like this app! We get a virtual card as well as a physical card and each of these cards can be linked to billing services, streaming services, and food apps in the card section of the app! It also lets you know what day your check is coming; so far that’s been consistent for me and I’ve been getting paid four days early. There’s a section to upload documents like receipts, SSA paperwork, etc. They also have a feature that if you’re working and receiving benefits it’ll help you stay under the SGA limit! Draw back: there is no savings account (yet). So all you have is a checking account. I personally don’t have an issue with that since they are getting ready to add that feature soon. So I give this app 5/5 stars as someone who is on disability. If anything changes I will come back and update my review.
