Advantages Over Traditional Banks

One was set up in 2019 and has a real focus on the financial wellbeing of its customers. It has no fees or minimum balance, making it an accessible alternative to traditional banking. Its features like Early Paycheck, shareable Pockets, and a higher interest rate for savings than many traditional banks make it a good choice if you’re looking to make the most of your money. And its deposits aren’t invested in fossil fuels, arms, or tobacco products (among other controversial investment choices).

Cutting-Edge Banking Services

One comes into its own if you want to deposit your paycheck into its account. You’ll be able to auto-save a portion of your check and earn up to 3.00% APY in interest, as well as accessing your money before payday. You can easily set up Pockets to divide up your money within your account, including an Auto-Save Pocket to put away small change when you use your One card. These Pockets can be shared with friends or loved ones, which could be useful for shared projects or trips.

Traditional Banking Services

You can use your One card at any Allpoint ATM (of which there are 55,000). Although the One card is only a debit card, you can get credit to cover any purchases that take your Spend Pocket (the sub-account you can buy things from) below $0. This is interest-free when repaid within the month and 1.00% interest/month or 12.00% APR after this. You can also set up a Credit Line Pocket, which can be linked to the debit card so it functions much like a credit card. One Finance doesn’t yet offer additional financial products such as mortgages, loans, or credit cards.

Interest Rates and Fees 

FeesNone
APY on Auto-Save Pocket with paycheck direct deposit3.00%
APY on Save Pocket with paycheck direct deposit1.00%
APR on Credit Line12.00%

Customer Service

One has a useful customer knowledge center with plenty of information on its services. Additionally, you can contact customer service by chat or phone (9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday).

Mobile App

The One app is available for free on iOS and Android, but some older devices may not be able to support the app. The One app is known for being very user friendly and enjoyable to use, and is highly rated on both the Google Play Store and the App Store.

Security

Data in-transit and at rest is encrypted to the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The app also uses biometric identification for access, including facial and fingerprint ID. If your card is lost or stolen, you can easily disable it through the app. And for additional peace of mind, One is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which means that if something happens to the bank, you are covered for up to $250,000.

Summary

One is a modern banking option that brings big benefits if you want to deposit your paycheck into its account, especially the high interest rates it offers on its Auto-Save feature and Early Paycheck option. It’s also great for those on a budget as it has no fees or minimum deposits. Although it doesn’t come with all the product options of a traditional bank, for a streamlined paycheck account, One could be the right choice for you.

One of the Best Online Banks Out There
ONE's app is very easy to use with a simple interface. The pockets are an interesting idea even though I barely use them. What is really great is their savings account. ONE offers a 5.00% APY, the highest rate among online banks or fintechs. So far no issue with the app or their services.

I cant buy gas at my favorite gas station without getting penalized. I had my V.A. check transfered from my checking to my ONE account and it takes 7 WORKING days! Wait! What!! Now i have $175.00 in late fees I'm looking at! If it was up to me I'd give this card NO stars, they don't deserve it, but I couldn't go any further without at least 1. They also withdrew my money twice so now I have a penalty fee at my bank! This ONE account is a joke and I'll be getting rid of it ASAP

Fraudsters or Abettors of Fraud
I have received multiple (6 and counting) debit cards from ONE Finance despite never having opened an account with them. When I called to report the fraud, they refused to help me unless I gave them my date of birth and last 4-digits of my SSN. Sorry, I'm not giving you the information you need to further defraud me. The representative hung up on me when I refused to provide the information he requested. I did offer to give him the debit card number so he could locate the account: no dice. UPDATE: I contacted their support and supplied them with the list of (now) 15 debit card numbers. Their response included, "...we cannot track unless an account application is requested." I don't know how they manage to process a debit card transaction without being able to match a card number to an account. Strains credibility, doesn't it?

Terrible experience!
I purchased a one card on October 1st, for the purpose of helping a family member who was moving out of town. This card was supposed to be for his gas, food, and hotel expenses while he traveled, and allow us to reload it with more money as necessary. The first problem came when we tried to add $800 to the card via bank transfer from our bank. We did this on Sunday afternoon, October 1. The app stated that money from a bank transfer would be available in 1 to 2 business days. Our family member was leaving on Tuesday, so that would work out. As soon as we completed the transfer request, it came up listed in our account activity as pending, and said that the money would be available on October 7th... Six days later! I immediately went back in and tried to cancel the transfer, but there was no cancel button despite the help in the app saying that a transfer could be canceled. I contacted customer service, and they told me that the transfer was already in process and I couldn't cancel it. I told them there was no way that could be possible, since I had only initiated it about 10 minutes before, and it was a Sunday. They refused to help. So we had to go to plan B, go get money out of our bank via ATM and take it to Walmart to load cash onto the card, then put a stop payment on the transfer with our bank. But wait, there's more! On Wednesday evening October 4th, the card suddenly stopped working and started being declined. When we opened the app, everything was gone, we couldn't see our balance or anything else. I contacted customer service again, and was told that the account had been closed, they couldn't give me a reason, but their decision was final. At that point there was still about $230 left on the card, they said that I would receive information in 5 days about how to get that refunded. I waited until the following Wednesday, October 11th, and contacted their customer support saying I had received nothing and they still had my money. They were totally unhelpful, saying that my account was still being "investigated", and I would receive an email when that was complete. I reminded them that it had been over 5 business days which is what they had promised for me to be able to get my money back. By Saturday, October 14th, I had still heard nothing and contacted customer service again, and was told the same thing. On Tuesday October 17th, I contacted customer service again. This time at least they acknowledged that yes it had been nine business days since the account was closed and said they would escalate it to high priority. Later that day, I received an email from them, stating that due to "a negative balance in one or more of my pockets or tabs for 60+ days" they had closed my account. They also asked me to send my full account number for them to verify so that my remaining balance would be returned in 2 business days. I replied to that email, asking how it was possible for me to have a 60+ day negative balance when I had only had the card for 3 days before they closed it. Further, I never used tabs or pockets, and never had a negative balance. No response. As of today, October 18th, 14 days after they closed the account, they still have my $230. Run, don't walk, away from this disaster of a company.

Just like all the other reviews here
Just like all the other reviews here, One has locked my account stating "fraud" activity. Spark is also at fault they contracted with this institution to process our pay, never once telling us that we had the option to stay or keep Branch as our primary account. I now have over $1000 floating around. I had an Attorney send them a demand letter to explain the lockout. These people are earning interest on our money while we sit around unable to pay our bills. if you have been affected in this way by ONE please reach out to me on Facebook not permitted to share my email. We can band together and do something about this situation! This is not right, I'm very mad about how I'm been treated. I asked to speak to a supervisor they kept me on hold forever, and now the so-called supervisor just hung up on me! This has the potential to turn into a class-action lawsuit!

Things
I had one for 3 years before they were bought out by Walmart. That's where the problems starts. Then, I get a message from ONE stating my account was compromised and they locked it. I followed directions and got it unlocked.. They mailed me a new card (hasn't arrived). Then 2 days later they email me saying they're closing my account with no notice Now I can't pay my light bill or get food for myself or my disabled wife. No one will answer me. And they told me to wait 2 weeks for my money. NEVER USE ONE. ILL BE MAKING A POLICE REPORT AND POSTING THIS ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA.

If I could give them zero stars I would. I cancelled a “mail a check” and have still not received my money back into my account, $960!! None of the cs agents know what they are doing or talking about, not even their so called “supervisors”. I have literally been told 24 hours, 2 days, instantaneously, and numerous other answers on when I’ll get my money refunded. I don’t trust or believe a word the agents say. They have a different “answer” every time I contact them. I don’t believe I’ll ever get my money back at this point. I will be contacting an attorney soon if I don’t get my money returned to me.

Do not bank with them
So I opened a account last Tuesday sep 27 decided to go with one to try something different that was clearly a mistake. My account has been restricted since last Wednesday sep 28. I was told I would get a resolution in 5 business days here it is 5 business days and no resolution. I was never told my account was restricted it took me tryna make a transaction to find out. I have explained countless times I need my money to pay bills which at this point I’m on the verge of eviction but it seems to me the employees don’t care and rather provide false information to resolve customer issues instead of looking into it and coming with a resolution, I believe this bank is very unprofessional and shouldn’t have the power to be in control of people money because they have a process that’s not efficient

One Finance: Imperfect, but Ultimately Had my Back
I was a Simple customer, and I loved that online bank, and was extremely disappointed when they were acquired and then shuttered. I looked around for a suitable replacement, and it came down to One Finance and Ally; after evaluating both services, I choose One Finance for reasons that I've since forgotten. Most of my experiences with One Finance have been positive; their banking tools are not quite as good as Simple, but they are better than the generally anemic tools that you get from big banks. In particular, "envelope budgeting" (One Finance calls them "pockets") is an important feature to me. The app and website are well-designed, if a little simplistic: I would like to see more features and sophistication, especially in the account activity searching/sorting/filtering department. I was motivated to write this review after One Finance turned around my one really bad experience with them: it wasn't fun, but they deserve credit for making it right. My wallet was stolen out of my locker at the gym, and the miscreant immediately went and spent a little over $1,000 on my One Finance card at a local grocery store (buying gift cards, no doubt...it seems to be the usual choice for criminals). They literally managed to do this in the hour I was at the gym. As soon as I discovered the theft, the first thing I did was to disable my card on the One Finance app (which was easy and quick to do). I also disputed the ~$1,000 in charges. That experience wasn't great; I was first told I would have to wait for the charges to cleared before I could dispute them, which took almost a week. Once I disputed them, I received a denial within a few days. The denial was sent via email, was very terse, and contained little information about why the dispute was denied. I had to spend more time with support, and they couldn't tell me directly; they had to file a ticket with their dispute department, who eventually sent me an email with more information about why the dispute was denied. At no point could I talk to the dispute team on the phone; all of this happened through the proxy of support, and online uploading of documents, which was kind of clunky. I provided a response to their dispute reasons and, a few days later, they reversed their decision and refunded the disputed charges to my account. So One Finance deserves credit for finally doing the right thing, but the process could have been less stressful and more customer-friendly. I would have appreciated -- instead of a terse denial -- a conversation where the questions could have been resolved instead of having to fight the vague denial. On the plus side, the customer support representatives were unfailingly polite, courteous and apologetic. I wish they had been empowered to do more for me directly, or at least to facilitate a conversation with the dispute team, but they did what they could, I imagine. It's worth noting that it wasn't One Finance's fault that the money was stolen; they are as much a victim as I was, and in the end, they were the one that was out ~$1,000. I'm grateful that they had my back -- however reluctantly -- and I've chosen to keep my account open for this reason. I see many reviewers have had much worse experiences than I have, so it's clear that One Finance has some work to do, but I wanted to provide an honest account of my experience that might have resulted in an extremely negative review, but got turned around.

If you read online they are not a bank…
If you read online they are not a bank and your money is not protected. They do not protect against fraud. I filed a dispute per their website immediately and although their site say 3 to 4 months it took 7. It took me 7 months to find out I wasn’t getting my money back.. FDIC insured my ass. They aren’t even recognized by the subsidiary they claim. Really sketchy company. I am glad I only lost a small amount of money and I moved my account to Discover for better interest. I’d rather put my money in a shoe box than give it to them.

One has been a nightmare - use another bank
TL;DR they've turned someone stealing money from my account a reason to suddenly close it. Now I'll have to wait a month to get the money out. Avoid at all costs. Use a more reputable bank. This company worked fine for me for just under a year, and then I started having issues. I had a scammer steal about $700 out of may bank account. I reported it to One and they were able to review the transactions and refund me $500 of the $700 about 13 days after the claim. The other $200 was not returned because they claimed the card was present when it never left my possession. I asked for them to re-review those, mentioning that the card wasn't present and that their documentation was simply a word document saying that the card was present. About 5 days later, I received an email saying that my account was under review. Literally ONE minute later receiving another email saying: "After further review, we’ve deemed it necessary to close your account. Please note that we can share no additional information and that our decision is final." In order to get the money out of the account, they need a bank statement as proof of a new bank account... so I'll have to wait a month to get my money back. Its all been a nightmare and made a bad situation worse. Avoid at all costs. Go with a more reputable bank.

Wow I got the one debit card as a gift
Wow I got the one debit card as a gift. I had been off work because of an accident the person gave it to me yesterday. I didn’t want to use it as a bank card as I’m just gonna use what was on it and throw it away. Hell they are taking all the money before I can spend it. I activated it yesterday when I got it. $5 was taken as it hadn’t been activated within 15 days. Then I was charged $1.50 for activating it. I went to use it after work as I was told there was $43.50 on it, it kept coming back as insufficient funds. So I come home call the 855 number. It’s not on the card I had to google it. Only to find out they took another $5 so now it’s down to $38.50. The attorney general in my state will be contacted as I feel this is unlawful. All this company does is steal from the poor.

Another SCAM . DO NOT BUY THEIR DEBIT CARD
There should be an option for no stars. I bought the 25$ One Debit Card at Walmart with a fee of $3 as a graduation gift for my niece. The cashier confirmed that there was no monthly fee. The packaging on the card also falsely listed as no monthly fee. I just found out that they took out a $5 monthly charge on top of the $3 fee that I already paid. So for a $25 card, I was charged $8 in fees! Such an unethical company. I was told by Customer Service that there is nothing they can do because the card is not a normal card, whatever that means. What a lame excuse. STAY AWAY unless you want to make a donation to a dishonest company! I wish I read the reviews before I purchased the card.

This company is a scam! I bought a one card from Walmart, deposited 500 hundred dollars on it July 24th, and haven't been able to access my money or even activate the card for that matter. I've called numerous times to get the same bs story over and over, my account is under review, my funds will be available in one to two business days. That was 3 weeks ago. These people are stealing money from anyone they can . I wouldn't recommend anyone banking with them, unless they have money to just give away.

Please release my money
I am a victim of carjack at gun-point. I lost everything (my car, phone,…) On July 15, 2023, ONE restricted my account for my protection because of unauthorized international transactions. Those merchants refunded all my money. Until today, Aug 06, 2023, ONE would not release my money. Instead of transfer my remaining balance to the external account i provided at 1 time, ONE divided into 3 different times and send by paper check (7-14days) and only send 1 check per week. It has been almost 4 weeks and Im still waiting on the 2nd check. I tried to request the 3rd check last Thursday but ONE agents REFUSE to confirm whether or not my 3rd check can be sent. I’m a victim but i got treated like i’m the criminal. I have to set-up all my bills auto-pay to a different account on the date that ONE told me they would transfer money and never did. I got charged over-draft, late payments,… for trusting everything ONE agents told me. Can i please ask you to issue a check of my remaining balance tomorrow (Monday, Aug 07, 2023) so i can pay my bills so my phone, utility,… won’t be disconnected. I really appreciate it.

"ONE Bank: An Unpleasant Experience - Promising Features Marred by Unprofessional Conduct"
I am dissatisfied with the banking service provided by ONE. Although the features offered were appealing, I found their business conduct to be highly unprofessional. Surprisingly, my account was closed within a mere two weeks of opening it, all because I raised disputes for a few transactions. While I can comprehend them choosing not to honor the disputes, the permanent closure of my account without any prior notice or the chance to contest their decision feels remarkably one-sided and unjust. In summary, my experience with ONE was far from satisfactory.

They will not give me my $22k
ONE FINANCE IS REFUSING TO GIVE ME MY MONEY: The initial transfer of 22k was made on July 3rd. I have almost double the amount in my account. I canceled and reordered the money already once and it didn't work so they're saying I should just try that again. They said I have two choices: 1. Cancel again and try to reorder AGAIN 2. Escalate, which could take much longer than canceling and just trying again. I spoke with two supervisors and they could not escalate me further or provide me with any options other than the two above. It's been over two weeks. This is illegal and I'm interested in taking legal action. I'm buying a car and ONE FINANCE will not give me $22,000 of my money. This is not someone you want to bank with.

This Bank won't last long. My account will be terminated, and I'm very delighted to say goodbye to them. If you do bank with them, I hope you don't have any problems since they won't help and you can kiss your money goodbye. Because they don't care about their clients, they are likely to fail. Now that I trust the Plutonium Company to manage my money, I no longer need to keep it secure here.

Customer service can’t do anything to help
After my first direct deposit I spent some money. They locked my card for unusual activity. Customer service couldn’t tell me why and couldn’t or can’t unlock it. So this banking app is the worst. I informed them that I was out of town with no way to get home and all I could get was (I’m sorry). So now I’m waiting on Monday to hopefully be able to speak with someone in the risk department about releasing my funds. I’m definitely finding me another banking app.

Stay away
Stay away. Get a different prepaid card. I have several issues with this card. The first is cunning and deceiving Terms of Service designed to drain your balance. When you read the back of the packaging it states you will be charged $10 for a "monthly fee" 10 days after activating the card. What it doesn't say is it actually locks that money immediately upon activation so you can't even use the funds even if it is prior to the 10 days post activation... On top of that it costs $4 for the initial load. So right off the bat you're losing nearly $15 of your balance. Secondly, the authorization hold clear times are absurd. If your'e not familiar with authorization holds, let's say you go to the gas station and swipe your card at the pump. The merchant will authorize your card for a certain amount, sometimes $50, sometimes it can even be $100. Now when you pump your gas let's say you only get $20 worth, the rest of the authorized funds are released by the merchant and with any other bank I've used they immediately return to my account balance. With OneCard they will sit on your money for 5 days just to clear that authorization hold... Thirdly I was rejected a permanent card... Not that I want one at this point, but it was rather strange to me even though I contacted support offering to send my license or whatever info they needed to verify my identity. So that automatically made me ineligible to have the monthly fee waived had I met the requirements for whatever direct deposit amount. The ONE good thing I will say is customer support is readily available via online chat on their website and within the app. Always nice to have when it comes to banking. All in all it's the worst prepaid card I have ever used. Pick any other card and it's going to be better then this one. Amex Bluebird, Walmart Moneycard, etc. I would not advise anyone to get this card and I consider it borderline, a scam.

Time-Urgent Grievance
This company is truly the most horrific "bank" known to man. Zo Silver has lied and engaged in deceptive practices with his consumers for months, and Brian Hamilton the CEO refuses to answer emails. I have field grievances with CFPB, BBB, and California Attorney General for False Advertising and Deceptive Business practices on behalf of ONE. URGENTLY have senior management phone me ! I have demanded multiple calls and Zo Silver, as well as their abhorrent "Customer Care" which is a bunch of inept overseas people whom can not be understood have engaged in deception and false advertising tactics to deny consumers rights to their funds.

I bought a physical card at a walmart
I bought a physical card at a walmart. The cashier asked me how much to add and I added $150. The instructions in the back of the card start by saying to 1st deposit the money into the card, then, step 2, activate the card by making a One account. The problem is when I made the account, it never asked anything about the card I already bought and instead gave me a new card with a $0 balance. I looked at all the options in the app but there was no option to add a new card to my account or to replace the new one with the one I bought. I called customer service for assistance but the guy insisted i just retry the steps on the card. I told him that was the problem but costumer service couldn't be bothered. So now I sit in defeat writing this. Don't ever use One, Don't ever use Chase, and Don't use any Prepaid Scam card that makes things convoluted to make a simple purchase. Lesson learned.

The minimum amount to withdrawal is 1.00 and for them to send me a check with the .01 costs 3.00. I had to send them a pdf file stating I wanted it closed, then they still denied it.

Removing key features without notice.
Removing key features without notice or explanation. My wife and I have been One members since 2021, and finally made the decision at the beginning of 2023 to move all out money into One Finance. Once we did that we learned that they removed mobile check deposits for some people (my wife being one of them). The ability to share an account with someone is just gone. Customer service has also been absolutely horrid. All our interactions with customer service in 2022 was delightful and our issues were always fixed quickly, but everything we've encountered in 2023 has been met with non-answers and reps just disconnecting us in the middle of talking. When asking about communications for removed features the reps have all claimed that we "got a notification", but neither me or my wife have any emails about removed features. Also, their website says nothing about features going away. In fact, some of their help desk documentation even claims features still exist when they very clearly do not. If you're looking for a new bank, One Finance is NOT the way to go. This once amazing service is a shell of what it once was.

No clear explanation for fees charged to account
Unfortunately, the customer service that I've experienced with ONE finance has been appalling. I was charged OTC fees (consecutively in one day ), despite not having used an ATM, or withdrawing money from an ATM which is when OTC fees would be applicable (according to ONE). After countless messages and a phone call, no one was able to tell me which transactions had incurred the OTC fees. The final answer from the bank was that after an investigation they found no error had occurred, that I would not receive a refund for the OTC fees, and the case was now considered closed. Again, no further information has been given to me regarding the specific transactions on my account that have incurred the two OTC fees. This is not normal. You can charge fees however your wish, but a bank should be able to clearly link transactions to fees and should give this information to clients/ customers. This is standard practice.

Because zero’s not an option. There isn’t a worse “bank” or banking app period. Trying to fund an account outside of direct deposit is a scam built to use money in transfer as interest bearing capital for days. I won’t even attempt to contact their customer support outside my email to close the account. Whole app looks and feels like a grift. Run don’t walk from another moment of considering banking with ONE Finance. Amazing it’s not shut down.

One finance zero stars
Absolutely the worst generic internetish bank. A payment to my health insurance didn't clear so the company took out 3 payments without my authorization or knowledge leaving me almost broke the day after my bi monthly pay. I have no gas or food. I called the company they told me to call the bank, get refunded and repay if I choose to continue with their services which I have never used and will be replacing. I sent in 5 disputes and 15 emails and phone calls. No response. Now my work week starts and my account has 1.27 in it for the next week. I signed up with this work pay card because it stated that my pay would be delivered 2 days early. Which it was. I have a portion put in to my JP Morgan Chase account because I didn't think I would get it early. But every paycheck the money goes in at 8AM to Chase. The rest goes on my One card anywhere from 12 to 5 pm. So my bad, I didn't need the stupid card from One. The date of this same incident my pay went into the one finance about 6pm. I emailed and they said they were having trouble with direct deposit going in. What would that problem be? Outdated software? Short of outsourced help? Anyway I would not get this card. It's been a joke with no response to my important to me incident. It's not important to them obviously.

1 STAR IS TOO GENEROUS
One WAS a fantastic bank that I recommended to everyone. In September 2022 they have literally removed every single thing that made them fantastic. The best features of their online banking system and features that I used the most were creating 'pockets' that I could schedule automatic payments to when I received a direct deposit. Like a virtual envelope system, it made it easy to direct my money for monthly recurring bills, other features like a credit builder, assigning your physical debit card to a pocket, having a shared account with other One users, have also been removed. Plus the enter app is the worst requiring text message login only, so do not change your phone number or loss your phone. If you ever get into contact with customer service their answers and resolutions are textbook word for word the same as FAQ posted online. This bank went from amazing to complete garbage.

Fraudulent Claims Process is Garbage!
I called in to stop a fraudulent charge and got told I have to wait for it to post as it is on hold and then we can do a dispute investigation. Any other bank would have stopped it right then and there. So now I have to wait for it to fully post, then fill out a dispute form, then wait 10-20 days to see if it "qualifies" for a temp reimbursement and then another 45 -90 days to do an investigation. Mind you nothing is guaranteed to returns the money to my account even after all of that. Customer service is horrible. You wait forever for them to tell you one thing and then tell you another, and it gets to the point they are just done with you and hang up. It was a good bank for savings but now I doubt I'll be keeping money here.

Bait and Switch.
One was an amazing fintech with amazing features. A Holy Grail. Then it was bought out by another company/s which in turn, demolished nearly all of those features. I have a feeling that they wanted to ruin One because it was top competition and offered a lot more than any other bank. I was formerly a Simple customer, after they shut down a lot of us were scooped up by One and we were promised that One would never sell out and change. Obviously we were lied to. I was forced to go hunt for another bank YET AGAIN.

I bypassed the problem at first even having problems with my card being activated.It has only been two weeks and I’m already giving up on this.

Lack of full disclosure...0% interest
I moved money to OneFinance and another bank after the sale of our home. I was pleased with the service and 3% interest rate so I decided to move the whole balance to One. It was accomplished after some hassle getting the accounts linked. After the 1st month I noted minimal interest instead of the expected tripling of the monthly amount. I called in to determine if there was an error and was advised there is a limit on the deposited amount that earns 3% ($25,000). I asked what the balance over the $25k earns. The answer...0%. I moved my money out that day. I don't see that limit anywhere - nor do I see the $200 that I missed out on.

DO NOT SIGN UP. We signed up for One Finance when it was great. In one day, 9/15/22, they destroyed it. None of the features we signed up for are available anymore, the poor customer service people are up against it because they have to deal with furious customers, and One simply does not care about their own employees to give them absolutely no way to help shocked customers. TERRIBLE place. They were bought out by Fintech Hazel so just keep an eye out and do no business with that company, and if they buy out any services you're using, abandon ship.

ONE is garbage
This bank went from amazing to complete garbage. I've been with ONE for a couple years now and loved it because I could auto-save my paychecks, allocate spending with different "pockets" that they let you create, etc. So needless to say, I've built up a nice little nest egg. I needed to move some money around and initiated a transfer from an external account to my ONE account. THEY CANCELLED THE TRANSFER. This is the THIRD TIME they've done it. And then had the balls to e-mail me, "If you would like to make this deposit again, please first verify that the amount of money that you are moving is currently available in your external account." Like I don't know what is going on with my own money??? If you want a bank that is going to treat you like you're too stupid to manage your own money, and then will bat away money when you try to transfer it to ONE...this is the bank for you.

All innovative features completely gone.
When I first signed up, this bank was so feature-rich and innovative it would've made Simple bank blush. Multiple pockets to split money, a credit building account, the ability to switch which pocket would be used when paying with your debit card, the list goes on. It was a match made in heaven. Ever since they got bought out by Walmart, through incredible hubris and honestly what I can best describe as intentional self-sabotage, they got rid of ALL of these functions through what was supposed to be an "update" promising a better user experience. It's a joke and beyond infuriating. I know a bank is just a bank but frankly? I honestly feel betrayed. In what universe was this even remotely a good idea? If you sign up for One Finance now, you're signing up for a shell of it's former glory. It's basically just a standard, run-of-the-mill fintech bank that offers basic features like 2% cashback, a savings account, overdraft protection and stuff you can find anywhere. My advice? Sign up elsewhere. Don't enable this company and have them believe their decision was the right one by giving them business. I switched to Envel and I'm not looking back.

One Finance Has Gutted Best Features
As other reviewers have indicated, One Finance has removed some of the best features of their online banking system. The features that I used the most were creating 'pockets' that I could schedule automatic payments to when I received a direct deposit. Like a virtual envelope system, it made it easy to direct my money for monthly recurring bills. You can now only have 3 save pockets, and the virtual credit card feature is gone. Other features like a credit builder, assigning your physical debit card to a pocket, having a shared account with other One users, have also been removed. I was also once a Simple Bank user, and when BBVA bought and gutted this service I turned to One. Now the same thing has happened to One Finance and I'll be seeking a new solution.

Best features have been removed.
When my partner and I signed up for One a year ago after Simple closed, we were excited about many of the features. Recently, One took away many of the features that were extremely helpful to us and made their app one of the bests, such as: pocket sharing with another One customer and assigning your debit card to a pocket. We're extremely frustrated that these features were taken away and are now looking into other options.

One started out as a great bank
One started out as a great bank. A few years ago when Simple shut down, my husband and I switched to One. Sure, they didn't offer joint accounts, but they did have shared pockets, including the spend pocket, which made it function as a joint account. However, over the last few months, especially the last couple of weeks, they have been removing features with no notice. No more credit line. No more shared spend pockets. And you can no longer link your physical card to any other shared pocket. My spend account was overdrafted while I was out shopping earlier this week because we weren't told that we couldn't actually use our shared pockets anymore. Very frustrating! Now, I'm trying to place an online order using my spend pocket, which has more than enough funds in it for this transaction, and my card has been declined several times. I've had to talk to One's customer service way more in the last week than I've ever had to talk to any other online customer service, and they don't solve the issues. I will be switching banks, for the second time in a year, because I'm done with One taking away all the features I loved in the beginning.

Betrayed their customers, a shell of it's former self
One was a fantastic bank that was trying to really innovate in the space and help customers empower themselves financially. When Simple bank closed down a few years ago, they actively pursued those of burned by that bank selling out, and promised us that wouldn't happen with them. For about a year, all was well - transparent product roadmaps, lots of updates....and then everything collapsed. Walmart became an investor, the CCO disappeared off twitter, and as of 9/15/2022 that completely self destructed their own product. EVERYTHING that made this an innovative bank is gone. So many features many of us came to rely on for our finances wiped out overnight with little to no communication from the company. Literally one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a company. They used the goodwill of many of us early converts (and our money) to build themselves up for another fintech sellout to WALMART. It's one of the worst examples of startup culture / capitalism there is. Stay away from this bank. Nothing they tell you can be trusted.

I get paid weekly so though I use the loc all the time it is cleared or almost cleared weekly. Today, May 12, 2022 after a $100 deposit brought account positive they sent message they are discontinuing line of credit effective today. Thank God I don't put all my eggs in ONE's basket and had paid items from one of my other accounts. To remove an loc with no notice is just unethical. Supposedly they are no longer doing credit lines. Not sure I will stay. Line of credit option and stated mission was reason I was okay banking without a local branch.

A really nice online-banking experience.
I've had One for about 6 weeks. It took some time to transfer all of my direct deposits to One and to set up automatic payments for my credit cards, etc. (as it would with transitioning to any new bank), but One has features nobody else has. First, there is generous interest earned on money in the Save "pocket" (1%) and even better interest (3%) on money in the Auto-Save "pocket". Second, being able to set up multiple pockets, and SHARE them with other ONE users is awesome. I set my daughter up with a ONE account, and we share a pocket so I can instantly send her money when she is off at college. Similarly, I set my mother up with a One account and can send her money instantly as well. No waiting days for money to become available to them... it is really "instant". Also, getting my pay 2-days early by direct deposit is super helpful. There is also a free credit line with up to 1-month to pay interest free, low credit fees (1% per month), and no additional fees. And the One App is first rate and easy to use. The down side? One promises it will have mobile check deposit functionality soon, but it is not yet available. That, and a traditional "bill-pay" service (also in development, apparently), are the only features One is missing. With those features, it will be the hands-down winner for internet banking.

Do NOT sign up for this bank. They will not accept handwritten checks via mobile deposit from old people who make handwriting mistakes. My grandmother is 99, almost 100 years old, and she accidentally put 2023 instead of 2021. So, she does what EVERY check writing person does and changed the 3 to a 1. One Finance refused to accept it and wants me to have my old grandmother write another check. Gonna close my accounts and move somewhere else. My credit union accepted the check without any issue at all. THAT is how you do service.

Disappointed with One
I have been extremely disappointed with One and am in the process of closing my account. They don't seem to want my money. It took them almost three times as long as my new Marcus account to complete the external link with my credit union. After that was done with the small amounts in and out, I followed their instructions to do a transfer less than $500 the first time. That went through okay. The site stated that you could do subsequent larger transfers. I tried to initiate THREE subsequent transfers to fund my One account and ALL of them were cancelled by them. I've given up. Two good points though. The debit card did come quickly. And I did get good and quick responses from their email help account. Good luck if you decide to go with One.

Terrible customer service that will not…
Terrible customer service that will not listen to any customer concerns. They have a full discretion interest rate that their contract gives them the power to change it at any time with no warning. Highly recommend staying away

What a refreshing take on banking...
What a refreshing company that is adapting to a changing demographic. I really love their products. They offer 3 percent on direct deposit (no one else does this). They offer 1 percent on up to 25k--very few do this and definitley none of the major banks are even close. Chase bank and Bank of America pay around .05 of a percent--yikes. They have phone support, chat, and email support. I have access to more ATMs than I ever did with Chase or B of A. I suppose the momentary downfall is that you can't deposit cash. I rarely interact with cash so it's a non-issue for me. I hope they grow and do well. Also, Zo from Customer Service was helpful to a small issue I had and was able to resolve it quickly and with class. Well done, One!

I was a customer of Simple for many years. When they were bought, I switched to One. I've waited months for them to delivery on promises, but they haven't. I can't pay my rent with this bank. Seriously. No checks. No bill pay. No integration with payment apps. You can only withdraw $500 a day. I'll be switching accounts asap and recommend that you steer clear if you want to actually be able to use your money.

Terrible Interest rates…
I considered opening an account there then I finally found their rate sheet. They pay 0% interest over $25,000 so this bank is useless to me.

I closed my account a year ago
I closed my account a year ago. I decided to come back this year and check out the new features and they told me its impossible to re-sign back up or open an account once you close it. If you leave them you are barred for life. Customer Support had an attitude the entire time to top it off.
