I am rejecting this response because: they completely ignored the complaint. I did exactly what they askedto call the phone number. The phone rep basically said, use the app. Then I used the app, and it said to call the phone number. I asked the phone rep if there was anyone else there I could speak with, and she said no. She couldnt tell me what info could not be verified, could not give me any other options, and basically said there was nothing else she could do.

I am rejecting this response because: the business did NOT remove the restriction from the account until after I filed complaints with the BBB and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Everyone needs to know that this company will restrict accounts if they think there is fraud (which is perfectly acceptable), however they will refuse to remove the restriction and block access to your own money until you file complaints with regulatory agencies. Don't put your money here if you want to easily have access to it.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
