This company is a scam when it comes to disputes. My dispute was denied before I could send the information I gathered with Uber. Someone had my card connected to their account. I didn’t have a clue on who it was. The paper work I had to fill out and send them back came the day before my dispute denial later. How can you do a full investigation without me sending the information for the investigation? Company is a scam.

Not secure whatsoever. Someone transferred $7,000 out of my main account, $300 out of my savings and $400 on my secondary card my son uses and now it has been stolen online again and was denied a refund when its obviously being taken. If you get paid with this card get your money out immediately. I changed cards 3 separate times and still got hacked. Worst customer service I've ever experienced.

I got dbl charge for gas and at first I told wisely and it appeared back on my card. Then I woke up and it was gone. Told me to figure it out with the gas station. This wasn't the first time either. They literally stole my money instead of protecting it.

Discussing Terrible The Worst Customer Service Ever Disappointing Let Down The second representative was Very Unpleasant and Unprofessional one representative saying this and the other representative saying something different NOT TRUSTED FRAUD is a Big Deal and Wisely may want to understand that….

i ordered 3 orders from Yzy.com. i tried to contact the company several times about my first order. it hasn’t been shipped out or anything. no response. so i tried to dispute the charge with mywisely and they refused it. they never sent me anything, i didn’t get a call or anything. just outright refused to refund my $105.92. So i don’t get my shoes and i can’t get my money back. this company is turning into shit.

Not worth the trouble. They have switched banks 3 times in 5 years. Every time they switch YOU have to update all your direct deposit information. I applied for Social Security and by the time I was approved they had switched banks again. It was a nightmare recovering my funds. Run the other way.

I have had the Wisely card for almost ten months. I used the card to make a payment to my credit card during month 6. The payment was specified as a "check" that gets "mailed", no charge. I believe you can pay bills electronically for a surcharge. The payment took two weeks. Mental note, do not use the service again. During month 10, I needed to pay my credit card again which I did on 1/17, the money was taken out of my account 1/18. I agreed to this because the claim was my bill would be paid in 5-7 days, by 1/26. I wasn't feeling well, I was distracted by personal issues, yada, my bill was due 2/1, so this seemed to be my best option. 1/27 came, my bill was not paid so I called wisely, agent said a manager would call back within 4 hours; they did not. The next day I called back and they said they called but I did not answer. I spoke with a manager who blamed me for making a payment on a (weekend 1/17-1/18) when they weren't open and that 2 weekends (1/17-1/18, 1/24-1/25) caused the delay in payment...basically that the check is in the mail, that the payment should arrive by the coming weekend (1/31-2/1.) Ignoring 2 facts (1) the payment came out of my account on a Sunday and (2) the USPS delivers on Saturdays (some Sundays, so it seems.) I ended up making myself broke to pay my credit card by 2/1 (my c.c. gave me a tip, use the c.c. website to PULL a payment immediately rather than a bank to PUSH the payment) and the payment from 1/17 still has not gone through. So yeah, it's two weeks like before, but the issue also became that do not say the payment will be made in 5-7 days to entice you to do so, then actually it takes at least two weeks (like it's 1975) and the check is unknown where. So if you must use a wisely card, Pull from your account, do not initiate payment through Wisely account. And note that customer service is unhelpful. Would not recommend this service; I have opened a different account now that I had more time at my job to realize I have better banking options.
Edit/update: the wisely payment posted to my account. On Sunday. A weekend. Two weeks after I entered it. The unofficial but correct payment time, not 5-7 days as written when you are going to make a payment and then on the confirmation page after you enter it.

I may update this in a week, but I was VERY suprised to see that Wisely has been charging me a montly fee of 85.00 Canadian for months because I did one transfer months ago. I have lost hunders to them. As a Government executive with decades of procurement experience, I am aware of such tactics, but am a bit embarrassed to have fallen this...if it was intentional. I hope it was not. I have reached out to them to seek resolution. If this is corrected I will change my rating. If it is not. I will not change my rating on Trustpilot. At this stage I would be very cautious.

Luckily I never lost any money, just sharing this for because for the second time I’ve gotten a barrage of notifications about declined transactions on an empty account. I had and used the card for like 4 months, all in my farm hometown because I was working for a company that used it. I still have the card, it wasn’t stolen or skimmed, never used it online, they actually just have such poor security that someone can get it by hacking them. And it gets sold or hacked to someone that’s so unsophisticated they attached their phone number to the transactions and keeps trying it when there’s no money, like maybe in 4 hours this person will get paid. And all through that there’s no way to actually contact them about it. So I just tell the vendors and drivers I know used it “hey, you should probably lose that account”. Just google it and you’ll see nothing but this same story.

If you are participating in the Work and Travel USA program, this is something you really need to know!!
Many employers issue this card to students for salary payments. If you have a chance, refuse this card, or open another bank account as soon as possible and transfer your money there immediately.
Keeping this card and dealing with this bank can literally shorten your life by a few years due to stress.
At the moment, my money is completely stuck in this bank. I cannot access it, and customer support is absolutely useless. Communication with their service is nearly impossible — they do not help, do not provide clear answers, and do not offer any real solutions. What should be a simple banking process turns into a nightmare once you leave the US or face any other issue. This is especially problematic for international students who return to their home country.

Aggressive upselling, poor service, and refund issues

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Wisely / Avoro.
What started as a paid service quickly turned into constant upselling pressure, with core value seemingly locked behind additional payments. Instead of receiving what was originally promised, the focus shifted to pushing upgrades and add-ons.
The service itself did not match the expectations set during the sales process, and when I raised concerns and requested a refund, the process became slow, unclear, and frustrating. Communication around refunds lacked transparency and accountability.
Overall, this felt less like a customer-focused service and more like a sales funnel designed to extract more money after purchase. I would strongly caution others to read the fine print, be wary of upsells, and not rely on verbal promises.
This was a waste of time, money, and trust.

I've had this card for 4 years and it is ridiculous at what they put you through to reset a phone number to get a verification code. I advise anybody not to use this service it is the worst service there is no office you can contact, nor does it benefit you in any means towards anything at all but you will play hell trying to get your money out because of the things they want you to upload and then they tell you the things that upload and then they say that's not right it's a disgusting company

They have stolen my money for months. Lying to me everyday saying the funds would be available. I thought I paid my rent and my car note and my I strange and they took the money out of my account and did NOT pay the bills. Causing me to be evicted , non insured and car in repossession. Now every time I call they hang up on me and cancel my card leaving 2000.oo on my card they refuse to give me

My account has been hacked 0ver 10k dollars . supposedly representative from wisely called turned my card off .. haven't seen or heard anything about my money since..806-442-3361 if this guy calls you he can shut your card down let you use your card send codes to your phone & wisely knows nothing about it..How you gonna investigate this wow .. totally disappointed Hope I get my $$ back 😢

On November 18 someone compromised my Wisley card, I filed a dispute. Somehow my address was changed. Wisley sent my new card to an address that they will not tell me. I have sent documentation multiple times to prove my address. They continue to refuse to correct my address. The staff has hung up on me. I was unable to get Christmas presents for my great grandchildren. Still no resolution.

Isn't this scam?

My account was hacked. They locked my account for investigation and somehow someone else changed the phone number on file so they couldn't give me anything on my account even though I submitted photos of my driver's license and social security card! Go figure! It's been since Dec 15 th since I've been able to access my money! I promise you I will never have another paycheck deposited to a wisely account! This is the worst company ever. Customer service will hang up on you promise to call and never call back! DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND USE ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION ITS WORTH IT I PROMISE!

Customer service is not knowledgeable and rude.I filed a dispute in regards to fraudulent charges. They never sent me the paperwork and just denied it. They have been of no assistance during this time and basically just let someone steal my money and due to their incompetence denied it. I will be pulling all my funds from this account and closing the account. I work too hard to have no assistance with fraudulent activity

Wisely made a replacement card change & then added a digital wallet card. I went to access the digital wallet card per usual it works right away. This time it isn’t. they took about $2 & some change out of my account. I went to transfer all the money in my account & it said account invalid. how ? If I’ve been using it for almost 2 years. what I think happened was they seen how much money I have in my account & are trying to rob me blind. because why haven’t I received a solution in 3 hours ??? They keep telling me oh just wait for 1-3 hours for your digital card to work I’m like so why does my WHOLE ACCOUNT not work. them not knowing we have a ADP place here and I will be heading there if I don’t get my money out by today. It keeps saying the same thing & customer service keeps telling me wait but I’ve waited the 3 hours. still no solution. You’re definitely not keeping my money that’s for sure WISELY

Customer service sucks, and they are deceptive.
