Love your app

Love your app. The customer service is the absolute best. I ask many questions and I always get a response. Keep that up. The boost trivia questions are a neat way to learn some basic info. Interest rates are unbelievable. Highly recommend anyone reading this to check it out

Hi Ron, we thank you for using the app and appreciate your review.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very user friendly app with great features

I have been using 'Tellus' for a while and it's been great experience so far. It's a very decent app with a neat user interface. Daily trivia is fun to play, learn some basic real estate things and earn a daily boost which is amazing. During these high price markets getting 3% APY interest make sense to me. I really liked the customer support/customer success team prompt help/support on any queries. They are ready to listen customers and support their needs. Overall I am happy with Tellus based on my so far experience.

5 star service and value

I primarily use Tellus as a way to earn higher interest. They have been outstanding. I often have to transfer money on short notice to fund investments, and their speed and responsiveness is better than my regular bank. Very pleased with the service and value they deliver.

Wary at 1st, but they resolve all concerns transparently and quickly

From the start (about 1.5 months ago) to now, their customer service has been TOP NOTCH. They reply with as many details as you request, and for something that can make people wary (a non FDIC insured savings account essentially), that's very important.

In regards to the functionality and interest disbursement, they're smooth and transparent. I was nervous at 1st, but they have strongly proven themselves to be a quality legitimate service. I love these guys!

Great so far!

Tellus has been great so far. Looking forward to seeing if they release other ways to boost. The aging this is weird but I just started using zelle to deposit to avoid that.

Great interest rate and customer support team

I've been a customer of the super high-yield interest product for the better part of a year, and this is just a really good deal–– not sure how else to describe it. They pay me 3.00% APY on my cash, and payout the interest daily. And when I had a question, their customer support staff was super attentive on chat. I fully recommend it for folks looking to earn more on their idle cash.

Best investment I ever made!

Initially I was skeptical about using this app but decided to go for it. I have gained more interest with Tellus than I have with same amount in my bank. If you have a question they respond immediately, I highly recommend using Tellus for your financial needs.

Great app great experience so far

I wanted to use an app where I could parked some money and earn interest higher than the traditional bank. I was a little concerned about how secured this app was and also how protected my money is. But I decided to give it a shot and my overall experience was smooth, from creating the account to making my first deposit.

Hi Jerry, thank you for your thoughtful review.

It’s foolish to have cash sit and lose value in a traditional bank

I’ve been using Tellus for about 3 months now and have discovered that it is by far the best place to keep cash where it will actually work for you. If you go on the app everyday and claim the daily boost you are every single day making over 3.0% DAILY compounded interest. Your local bank gives you .02-.03 tenths of a % interest and other online backs will only go as high as maybe .06 tenths of a %. When you consider todays inflation rate and the instability of the dollars value you’re actually losing money keeping money in traditional bank savings and even bank CD accounts! This is a great investment platform for cash abs during the week I’ve always gotten online assistance within hours of asking a question!

I was skeptical at first...

I use Tellus for a boost account. I was skeptical at first with it not being FDIC backed, but after more research I gave it a try with a small investment. I think this is a great way to diversify your portfolio with a stable high return. Over time I've increased my investment. Don't put all your eggs in one basket but definitely consider it! The app is Very easy to use and has a great user interface!
