    worst experience ever... I was drawn and quartered for my money and put into a impossible situation,they put me in a VIP group on the second day then after working over 10 days tasking and buying options that was impossible for me to buy the 3rd option then told I had time to pay the request for $ 1999.oo dollars! I was groomed and hung out to dry. They used me, then didn't pay me for my efforts and held out the carrot, I could get the money I earned when I finished the 3rd option which was impossible and they knew it. almost 1500. later working from 710 am to 6:40pm. It looked like I had 2095. dollars in money account and almost 3000. from subscriptions to You Tube. but I could only get paid if I finished the option. These people are ruthless parasites.

    I recently opened up an account w **********************. I was very hesitant because I am an old school dinosaur when it comes to technology and my money. However, I think they provide a great platform and make it very easy to navigate. I did have a couple of issues and they responded to my questions very quickly and helped me navigate their site. I would highly recommend their site and service.

    THEIR 2FA SECURITY SYSTEM FAILED!!! ALL of my stocks were sold from my account, even though I was NEVER sent a code! The money was then transferred out of my brokerage account WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION! I lost EVERYTHING! They are claiming no responsibility and will not compensate me for my losses. CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT AND DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Your funds are NOT secure!

    Hi **, Thank you for your review and for letting us know. The safety and security of your information is our top priority, and take these matters very seriously. A restriction was placed on your account to prevent any further trades, deposits, or withdrawals. Our internal investigation concluded there was no breach or compromise of our systems. We always recommend protecting your account with a strong, unique password that is not used on other apps or websites. In addition, we would never ask for a 2FA code and advise all members of giving away any 2FA codes. If you have any questions, please reach out to us in the app or by email at *********************************

    Hi ****, Thank you for your review and feedback. There are certain situations that require us to verify a members identity and bank ownership prior to a withdrawal. we do this by requesting an ID and PDF copy of a recent bank statement. We do this to ensure the safety and security of your account. Our team reviewed your documents and you will be able to withdraw your funds going forward. If you ever have any questions, please let us know in the app or by email at ********************************************************.

    I've been using the Public app for about a month now. The features are similar to E-Trade or Robinhood. I like the simplicity of the *** later for Public. Robinhood doesn't have an official ***, and my experience with E-Trade wasn't good. The support team is exceptionally good at Public, I worked with ******* from the Public Customer Support team, and he gave me daily updates on the progress of my issue and resolved my issue very quickly.

    After four years as a user, I can confidently say: ********************** is a liability. Avoid it at all costs!!!!Ive been a Public.com user since 2021. I never deposited more than $40. The only activity on my account was the occasional $0.02 dividend which they often clawed back with random fees. I never expected much. But I did expect basic security and a functioning support team.On August 6, 2025, I discovered $20,000 had been withdrawn from my personal ***** Fargo account and dumped into my Public.com account without my authorization. This wiped out my bank balance and left me thousands of dollars in the negative.I immediately contacted Public.com support. A *** named *** said they would escalate the issue to a colleague. That was the last I heard from anyone. No response. No follow-up. No urgency. No action. Its now been more than a day.Let me be clear: this wasnt a $20 overcharge or a technical bug. This was a massive, unauthorized financial transaction involving tens of thousands of dollars and Public.com has done absolutely nothing to explain, investigate, or fix it.Ive had to file a fraud ***ort with my bank and begin the process of recovering the funds on my own. I also requested my Public.com account be closed immediately. But the damage is done.This is not a company you can trust with your money, your bank account, or your peace of mind.

    Hi Sheera, Thank you for your review and for letting us know. We apologize for the issue with unauthorized deposits into your account. The safety and security of your information is our highest priority. We responded to your concern on August 7th, and put a freeze on your account due to the suspicious activity. We also stopped the payment and the funds should be returned to your bank. We recommend updating your password to a unique password you don't use on other apps or websites. If you believe funds have been stolen or are missing from your account, we also recommend filing a police report and filing a report regarding this incident with the ******************************* at ***********. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know via email at *********************************

    Great app and company. Their mission is to provide financial literacy to all individuals and empower them with multiple avenues of investments that were not easily available to the public. Their title is apt for the work they are doing.
