Fantastic Banking App

This app is incredibly user-friendly. You can set up your Irish bank account in just minutes, and it handles all my daily banking needs seamlessly. Plus, the customer service is consistently excellent!

They vanished with my money and cannot provide me a simple statement to indicate what really happened. My lawyer is already taking care of this. Runaway from this fraud bank

No money and no support

I have been suffering for two weeks without their support due to a salary transfer that has not been deposited into my account to this day.
They just keep telling me that they will check, the deadlines that have passed twice have already passed and so far NOTHING.
I need my money and I am tied up without the necessary support.

They changed my iban without consulting me and I'm suffering losses because of it

Last week they simply changed my iban without consulting me, and I had money to receive, the money was sent to my old iban and until now I haven't received it, I've already contacted support, the only thing they said is that the money would be refunded within 3 business days, but the deadline has passed and still nothing, I try to contact support but they never answer the call and it is always difficult to talk in the chat. And I'm suffering financial losses because of it

The worse bank I never had

The worse bank I never had, everything is complicated and difficult, inefficient, they don’t have empathy, they don’t care their costumers, never answer the telephone. Is doesn’t matter the issue everything is impossible to resolve

It's been a week since I made a transfer and the money hasn't arrived, my money is gone. They sent me a card and there's no option to unlock it. I can't move the account and my money is gone. How is this possible?

I had unauthorsied transactions of over 8000 Euro from my account. Someone took all of my details and according to Money Jar, added my own card into their own Google Wallet. But Money Jar is obligated to refund the unauthorsied purchases according to their own terms and conditions, which they are not willing to do by any means. I have reported this to the Garda and they are investigating it. I am well aware that this issue will only be settled in court. Avoid this ''bank'' at all cost. It is also strange how someone got all of my details and successfully added my own card and went shopping with my money, while Money Jar is blaming me for negligence.

Do not bank with Money Jar

Transactions do not go through, currently have a 2 week delayed transaction to pay rent and Money Jar will not cancel the transaction and let me access my money… No alternate options offered. Money Jar did not even alert me to this issue I was issued an overdue rent notice and that is how I found out my money had not gone through even though it had left my account…

STOLEN…

Hello, we encountered a problem that our monthly salary coming to our moneyjar account was sent back to the company because it exceeded the excess amount, it will be about 10 days, but still the money has not gone to the other side, human resources and I do not say to communicate constantly for the money to go, but it is constantly said that there is a systemic error. The bills and rent that we have to pay are still waiting, stay away from this damn bank. Last month, the rent I sent to my landlord was transferred to my landlord after 12-13 days and they told us that it was just a technical error, sorry. When you send a message or try to talk live, you will not get any response or after 2 days they will tell you that there is a technical error, sorry. PAY OUR MONEY,

Worst experience ever

Worst experiences ever. They are not trustworthy. They have refused a transaction from my employer and returned and the money but now it's been more than a month my employer haven't received any. Since a month they are giving everyday a new excuses. Better avoid this

Where's my salary money jar?

The worst bank ever.
the company where I work transferred my salary last week, as usual and six days have passed and the money has not appeared in my account, it has not returned to the company and the bank says it will investigate but does not give a response. I need to pay my bills, my rent, buy food and I simply can't afford it because this damn bank disappeared with my money. I want answers urgently.

Lodged a formal complaint

Wow, I thought I was the only not able to get back my salary transaction for almost a month now.

I guess this is impacting more people. I have lodged a formal complaint to financial services ombudsman and advise everyone to do the same. Hopefully they release our payments soon. Shame as I used to love the app.

Bank Fraud

The most untrustful bank I ever had before!!!!!
They steal two salaries that are missing from my account. After TWELVE DAYS, A LOT OF MESSAGES AND 25 E-MAILS, they just have given me different excuses, none proofs they are trying to help me, none deadline and none solution at this moment. This situation crossed all the limits and I am having severe financial issues because of this dishonest institution.

I already talked to Money Jar and also EML Payments and either they are incompetent and provide awful customer service.

I feel complete exhausted and scammed from Money Jar.

Probably in the Court they can't tell more lies or harm me and other customers.

You send money and it'll never arrive

Don't trust this bank to take care of your money . My wife made a transfer to me from another money jar account, a large amount that I needed urgently, more than 40 days and the money still hasn't arrived, despite the numerous complaints I've made, money jar is not a reliable bank!!! I'm making a loss because I haven't received the money.

the worst bank there is

the worst bank there is! Never open an account with it. I made a transfer 10 days ago and it still hasn't entered the recipient's account. There were several other unjustifiable delays. Always the same person who responds and gives the same excuse that the system is experiencing instability. I had a lot of problems and continue to have them. I just didn't close the account because I'm waiting for this situation to be resolved.

This is my third incident now with moneyjar within a month. There has been a ‘bug’ on their system and I haven’t been paid on time and have to wait till the next week to receive my salary. I have to pay my finances weekly and have had to sort other resources to pay this. I cannot get through on the phone and only speak to bots online. I’m escalating this to financial services as it seems moneyjar are stopping payments coming through and you are expected to wait to be paid.
