I’ve been with momentum PP MC for I’m embarrassed to say 6 years now . My direct deposit never comes at midnight sir like some banks 2 days before . They charge you a Monthky fee of 9.99 they take it out l2 days before payday when even $$ counts . Many times went hungry with no food thinking I had a few dollars left but then declined at the store cause momentum took9.99 over drafting the account. S few months ago called and asked them if they could change the date for the monthly fee. They refused . After 6 years I’m gone F off Read more Read less

I’ve been with momentum card for several years and although only a couple of really bad issues j regards to sending a replacement card two years ago that took a month to receive . They offer me nothing for being a member for this long . I asked they not take the monthly 9.99 fee in tbe 30th of the Month when I need every dollar available before payday they told me no . So I’m looking to part ways with them and can’t wait to make the call canceling my momentum card . There are much better options out there people this card company sucks Read more Read less

    Momentum is holding my money and is asking ridiculous demands!

    DON'T EVER USE MOMENTUM PREPAID CARD! Here is the reason why: Momentum is holding the REFUND money on my card for 4 months! On October... DON'T EVER USE MOMENTUM PREPAID CARD! Here is the reason why: Momentum is holding the REFUND money on my card for 4 months! On October 22, 2017, I got a refund back from Expedia for a canceled flight to my Momentum Visa card. Now it is February 15, 2018 and I still haven't been able get the money out of Momentum. Their reason for holding my fund is accusing me of money laundering. On September 2017, I used my sister debit card to purchase the flight ticket because I didn't have money in my card. Momentum claimed it couldn't verified the the refund with any purchase I made using my Momentum card. So they asked me to provide a Refund Receipt from Expedia and a Purchase Receipt. I did that and emailed them these two documents. Still they're asking for a Merchant Release Letter. I asked Expedia for a Merchant Release Letter and it has been five days, but still no reply back from Expedia. The point here is that Momentum makes it too difficult for their customers to get their refund back when a purchase gone wrong. Knowing how difficult it is to deal with Expedia, Momentum (Moneymart, CA) makes it even harder. DON'T USE "Momentum Prepaid Card Service"! Read more Read less

I tried making a purchase at home depot today and my card was declined although I had money on it. Luckily i had cash on hand to pay for my purchase. When I got home, I saw my card was hit 4 times for the amount I paid at home depot leaving me with a negative balance. I was told by Momentum customer service that there was a glitch on their end and they'll straighten it out but it will be around a week before I can have my money back. That was all the money I have until next payday, it was my paycheck that I had deposited on the card. They just told me "sorry, there is nothing we can do about it". I won't be using this card ever again nor will I recommend it to anyone. Read more Read less
