Fraud bank. Stolen money. Horrible leadership.

This week after 3 months of waiting, I finally received a check for funds leftover in my biz account. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to cash the check. Whomever cut the check on Nearside’s end did NOT move it to the “pay funds file”. Now I’m stuck with a check that I can’t do anything with. This place is hell. Hopefully Investors consider twice before giving ill equipped CEO, Thomson Nguyen 58M.

I withdrew the funds and instead of depositing the money they withdrew it from my bank so now I am short $64 x 2 = $128

BEWARE OF NEARSIDE SPROUT

This company & supposed services are a big rip-off! They filed my LLC paperwork & totally took over the ownership of My business name.
Beware with trying to get any real help from this company. They are a big SCAM!

Terrible

Terrible. Tried them out due to features, but when trying to access my money, card got locked. Couldn’t unlock in app due to errors showing up. Customer service only available 9-5 PST and when you call during those hours, you never get a person. Kept on hold then asked to try calling back in a couple mins as automated machine hangs up on you. Email garners no response either. My money is still stuck in the account and cannot be accessed.

No doubt, they are the best in the planet!

If there were ten stars to give out of five, I would provide them with zero hesitation.

Super awesome support. They are always there to help - kind and understanding.

And ssshhhhh.., whispers... ( I am not talking loudly here), they will give you the best price on the internet. :)

Thank you very much, Nearside ( and Tim), for everything!

It was a great experience working with nearside. Very smooth very seamless, so smooth I question whether or not I was actually going to have my Company formed and receive my EIN number. But everything worked just as how they said. Would definitely work with Nearside again.
