This is not a real bank! They only collect your information on an application and then sell it to a 3rd party who can then use the information to open credit and steal your identity. They are set up to seem like a real bank however after signing up with them my identity has now been stolen and my first deposite has been taken from my account but when you contact Asiration they say you dont have an account yet and then you will spend days trying to figure it out being sent from person to person, they will ask for more and more info to find your account but they wont find it and you will loose your money and indentity..BEWARE!

They Are a Real Bank

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I bank with Aspiration, and have had an account with them for over a year. I love them actually. They have great interest rates and no atm fees. And if an atm does charge you fees, once a month the bank reimburses you them.

I don't know exactly what your situation was, but they are a real bank and not a scam. I dont work for them, nor am I affilaited with them in any way. I just seen this link when I was googling the site and had to say something, because I've had nothing but good things to say about them. Ive had so many problems with other banks, and I finally am happy with Aspiration.

The only thing that could be better is if they had more ATMs to be able to deposit cash into your account. It is kind of a pain to deposit cash into your acct, but other than that they are great.

I opened Aspiration investment and retirement accounts in 2016 and they have both performed above average. I think the complainant above is a fake.

Aspiration is a legitimate banking institution. Not only for Interest-Bearing Checking Account, but also for Investments, small and large. You can make and investments for as little $100! Debit Card with tens of thousands of ATMs. All of this with fees. The author of this complaint has some kind of personal bone to pick, perhaps he was turned down for an account, who knows.

I have an account and Debit Card with Aspiration, so speaking here from the vantage point of a customer. Anybody who has dealt with Aspiration knows better, people who no nothing about this company makes complaints such as this. Not the best financial entity in the world but certainly not as stated in subject complaint.

I opened it because I need to get rid of Wells Fargo. I started by putting in $10. I left it there for 3 months. It was safe. I transferred it out. The $10 appeared in my Wells Fargo account. I have now transferred the money back th the aspiration account. I've had no problems yet. And my identity wasn't stolen. Maybe you were on a spoof site and thought you were on aspirations site.
