    I did not want to **** **** at six flags and got one of their prepaid cards to pay for my items. I have been getting charged a monthly fee. The list of fees does not include a monthly fee. I have attempted to call and keep being told the agreement is a monthly fee. I have looked over the agreement and there is no mention of a monthly fee.

    Re: BBB Complaint # ********

    Ms. ******,
    Thank you for sharing your feedback.We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Akimbo Prepaid MasterCard with ATM access.

    We see you reached out to one of our agents on April 15, 2025, in regard to your card account being closed. We did advise you at that time that since the account balance had been depleted to a zero balance and there had been no activity on the account the account was closed. We advised you that as is outlined in our cardholder agreement, you were charged a monthly fee of $6.95, which depleted your account balance to $0.00.  

    When we contacted you on April *******, we did advise you that as an exception we have refunded your monthly fees on your account, and you currently had an account balance of $50.32 and we have also reissued a new card. You did advise us at that time that you did receive your new card.

    If you require any further assistance, please contact us at ************. Our **************** representatives are available Monday-Friday from 7am to 7pm CST.

    Regards,

    Mr/Ms.*****,
    Thank you for sharing your feedback.We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Akimbo Now Incentive Mastercard with ATM access.

    We understand that you were having trouble accessing your account online via our Akimbo website. The reason you were having trouble is because your card account was closed on 08/11/2023 due to the card being at a zero balance for more than 6 months. There was a balance on the card that was consumed by inactivity fees.

    As outlined in our cardholder agreement, after 12 months of inactivity, a monthly inactivity fee is applied beginning on the 13th month. The remaining balance of $12.91 on your card was subsequently depleted by these fees. This explains why you were unable to access the card ending in 8102.

    We attempted to call you several times on March 27, 2025, but were unsuccessful in reaching you. We sent you an email to the email on file ********************* on this date as well.

    As an exception we have refunded your inactivity fees on your account in the amount of $12.91 and have also reissued a new virtual card since your old card expired on 12/31/2024. To access your new virtual card, you will just need to access the akimbo website ****************************** and log into your account. If you need assistance logging in please contact us at ************, from 7am 7pm (cst)

    If you should require any further assistance, please contact us at ********************************* representatives are available Monday-Friday 7am to 7pm CST.

    On February 23, 2025 my Akimbo Debit card was fraudulently used and compromised in the amount of $171.00. I got a notification that the card was charged and immediately called Amkimbo to cancel the card and file a dispute. They reissued me a new card and said they would investigate the charges and I had 10 business days to fill out a form. Within 7 days, before receiving my paperwork, they closed the dispute and determined that the charge was authorized. While doing my own investigation on the company that charged my card $171.00, the business was located in a foreign country but I reside in *******, *****************. Akimbo refused to return my $171.00 that was fraudulently stolen from my debit card and refused to reopen the dispute. Now I'm out $171.00 and I have no information on the merchant or person who stole my card number to pursue them in retrieving my money. As a card service provider, I don't know what investigation practices were used by Akimbo but they need a new one as well as better customer service in retrieving individuals hard earned money that has been compromised or fraudulently stolen from their account.

    I am writing to express my frustration with two debit cards, each valued at $100, which were issued to me with expiration dates of February 2025. Unfortunately, upon attempting to use the cards, they did not work. When I checked the balance, it showed zero on both cards.This is completely unacceptable, as the cards have not expired and were never used. I request that the funds be reinstated to my cards immediately.Please let me know how this issue will be resolved.

    Mr. ******,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have
    experienced with your Akimbo Now Incentive Mastercard with ATM access.

    As outlined in our cardholder agreement, after 12 months of inactivity, a monthly inactivity fee is applied

    by these fees. This explains why you were unable to use the card ending in 7595.

    We spoke to you on January16, 2025 and advised you of the inactivity fees. You did advise us at the time
    that you believe that the second card that you reference in your complain, card ending in 0588, belongs to

    on January 16, 2025 but there was no answer.

    As an exception we have refunded your inactivity fees on your account in the amount of $100.00 and since
    then we show you called us back to request a new card. This new card has been issued as of January *******

    Got a $100 physical debit card from Akimbo ( Card Number **************** )and this company really like to treat their customers like trash because they won't let you use all of the funds from your card at all.Can't log into my account,as it kept saying error.I think the card still has around $19 or something like that *******, I emailed them many times about this.Then,they said account is closed,and an Akimbo employee promised me a new card as transferred to another department.But then she said they can't give another card and lied.She said account is closed for some weird excuse,which I can't understand because of her thick ascent.They tried to come up with some stupid excuse in order to close that *******,I told her that I felt like I got scammed from ******* was clearly a setup as this shady company did not have any intention to give me a new card or even let me spend the money left on this card.I never knew anything about this at all from just looking at the printed information on my debit card.All it said on the debit card is that is still valid until the last day of December of 2024,which it is the expiration date printed on that card and nothing else.They used hidden fees and other dirty tricks to cheat their customers out of the little of money they have left in these hard times of inflation.We are dealing with thieves and scam artists over here because this is absolutely the worst card company I have ever encountered.Other card companies have at least kept your account open,even after you have used up all of your funds.What Akimbo is doing over here is very dishonest by removing all tracks of evidence of the debit card,so it would make it much harder for their customers to make a **********,they can keep whatever left on their cards,and it would make their wallets more bigger.If I had been well informed about their deceitful policies,then I would have spent all of the money from that card all at once. The Akimbo card was not accepted in many online stores

    Thank You, I opened a credit card @ ***************** on May3rd 2024 because ***************** is now cashless and I was not aware prior to my visit. I put in the $40 into the kiosk and received the card. I immediately was not able to use the card as there was an issue with the registration. I then relied on my friends with credit cards and would review this issue at a later date. May 5th upon return from the park, i went online, registered the card, seen the $40 balance on the card and inquired for a refund via chat. They informed me of the terms and that i would have to link an account to receive my refund.I made a number of attempts to link my checking account so that i could obtain a refund, but my banking company would not authorize the linking of the accounts due to the fraudulent activity of the Akimbo card company.I phoned Akimbo again and was not successful in resolving my issue.I had then inquired a number of additional times for a number of fraudulent monthly fee charges on my account in July. During the month of July i was charged four times for the monthly fee, and they indicated it was an account error. I had requested my refund immediately and was again given the runaround of linking my account. Each time I inquired I had long wait times on the phone or was disconnected. I appreciate that some things must be done on the phone, but frequent emails and chat messages are also not returned. It now appears that my number is blocked as it is no longer going through when called, but if I call from a VOIP number I get connected and continue to get the run around on obtaining my refund. This is clearly a predatory lender and set up kiosks' at cashless places to exploit user agreements. I wish to connect with them so that i may receive my refund.

    Hi!On 08/21/2024 I went to my local ***** *** to withdraw $280.00 which I have done many times in the past. This is an incentive card from my job, my monthly bonuses are loaded on this card. Once the funds are available I'll go to the *** and withdraw it. The *** was going to charge me $3.50 so $283.00 we being debited. Instead of the money being dispensed I received a receipt that there was an error and it could complete my request. The receipt given advised me to contact my bank to be credited correctly. I reach out to the Akimbo Card to file the dispute. The case was denied. The denial reason was that I used the card and there was no error made. I beg to differ because I received a receipt from the *** stating that it was an error. This was not a fraud case. I never denied going to the ***. My issue is that they never gave me the money from the machine. I was issued a receipt that told me to contact my bank to file a dispute. AND I NEVER received the money. I emailed them another copy of that receipt. I was told that once the case has been closed they cannot reopen it. I am shocked because I NEVER received the money and I am sure the *** cameras would show that, and the receipt I received at the time of the transaction confirms there was an *** error. NO ONE EVEN REACHED OUT TO ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, HAD THIS BEEN DONE THEY WOULD'VE SEEN THAT RECEIPT PROOF GIVEN. I'M BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO GO TO THE *** COMPANY. THE *** COMPANY IS TELLING ME I NEED TO CONTACT THE BANK. THE *** NEVER GAVE ME THE FUNDS SO THEY HAVE NOTHING TO ISSUE ME. I WANT MY MONEY THAT I NEVER RECEIVED.Thank you!

    We have confirmed that on August 20, 2024, an *** transaction in the amount of $280.00 plus $3.50 *** fee was completed on your card account ending in x8611. On August 21, 2024, you contacted customer service via phone and spoke with a customer service representative and advised them that when you went to the *** the funds were not dispensed. You initiated a dispute with the representative and because the transaction was authorized by you a new card was not issued.

    An investigation into your dispute claim was completed using all available network information and [CH1] information we received from you.
    The details of this investigation are as follows:
    Usio dispute team investigation of *** Funds not dispensed: Investigation of this dispute claim for card account, ****** ***** ****, ending x8611, involves reviewing all available network data and available network corrections report data referencing the disputed *** transaction.

    The transaction investigation details includes: Review of the specific disputed transaction in our ******************* details and review of analogous transactions on the account that may indicate attempted network reversals of disputed transaction or an attempted network correction of the disputed transaction. Investigation concluded that transaction was processed successfully and no observed network reversals nor any observed network correction attempts on the card account for the disputed activity.

    Dispute analysts conduct a full review of all daily network reports that could potentially reference network corrections or network adjustments while cross-referencing the disputed transaction and card account:
    Investigation process requires that dispute analysts review all relevant daily network reports to locate any corrections or network adjustments that may have been sent for manual processing by network for the disputed activity.

    Daily correction reports detail all adjustments to our organization.
    Specific Network Corrections Reports reviewed:
    IE56: Client Network Correction Report (daily)
    IE57: Adjustment Notification Report (daily)
    IE59: Client Network Correction Non-Settled Report (daily)

    The disputed *** activity failed to be located in any of the daily network and network adjustment correction reports from the date of the *** activity (Aug.20, 2024 through Sept. 9, 2024). We have also re-run reports through current day Sept. 11, ******************************************** corrections for the disputing card account. Typically network adjustments and corrections will be received within three to five business days of the original transaction.

    Thus, all available network and transactional data which was used in this investigation indicates that the disputed transaction was successful, and funds disbursed accordingly. The evidence supports that the disputed transaction was successfully completed, and funds dispensed accordingly.

    On September 4, 2024, the **** disputes team reached a final decision on your dispute and notified you of the denial of your dispute claim via email and sent a physical notification of this decision in the mail.

    Currently, our dispute team has closed the dispute investigation in accordance with Regulation E and has communicated through the official dispute process of their decision. You have a right to review the documents related to our investigation.  To request a copy of these documents please contact us at ************ or by email at ****************** Should you have new information regarding this matter which you would like us to review, you may reassert your error by contacting us at ************ or by email at ******************  This dispute claim is now considered closed.

    I recently filed a dispute with akimbo card. My primary card was already placed on restriction for no apparent reason but they said that I could access my funds in my sub account. My funds were stuck in my sub account because they wouldn't allow me to put them back into my account. Now not only have I encountered unauthorized charges because of them but I had $1016 remaining in my account that they will not allow me to access due to an impending investigation. I asked the representative what are they going to do about the card and the remaining balance before I got off the phone with the representative and she stated that her manager said that I would still have access to the account. The next day ********************** has closed the sub account and refuses me access to my money even if a were to close the account they are stating that they will not issue me a check for my remaining balance. All because I filed a dispute. I've already had money stolen from me and now they're taking the rest. I am begging that the bbb can please assist me in this matter because this is a huge financial burden that I have to endure.

    I have been having issues redeeming my virtual card from akimbo. Each rep showed no interest or concern about the issue I was having. I expressed two days straight that the online website does not work. I also expressed that I do not have a cellphone, but that I have a landline phone. I expressed to them that I have used multiple devices as well as multiple internet sources, and the website does not work. Thanks in advance Akimbo for helping me with nothing. Also P.S. Is it custom for your representatives to hang up on customers once the calls are screened? I called from a second number and you guys picked up right away???? Sound like you guys are not trained on professionalism. Please refrain from responding to this complaint unless your team i.e. the IT department has fixed the issue.
