    Tapcheck offers a service to advance your paycheck earnings 30 minutes after clockout. The last time i had an issue with updating was a month ago when i had to access for 7 days. I now again have no updated balance and no one will contact me. They are frauds!

    Dec. 14, 2024 put in for a transfer for $85 from my payroll dated 12/24/24.Tapcheck used a debit card ending in 07 that is no longer valid. I told them to use the debit card ending in 02 after seeing they used an account that is no longer open. The debit card ending in 07 was used when I had been previously employed with the same company. I had to reapply in which I told them It would not let me remove the invalid card. I am now employed with the same company again and was instructed to put in current debit account number. After calling them 3 times they said they cannot get money back from wherever it is. I never received it and it is showing on their record that it is being processed for 12/17, yet they say I received it. Gave me no information where it was sent. Meanwhile it is being deducted from my payroll check for 12/24/24. I want the money paid to me or removed from deducting it from my payroll. The last call to them I was told they removed the invalid card. They told me from the beginning it could not be removed and when I put in the new one then it would be. I had trouble opening the new account with them so my employer PitterPatter/Homeinstead (******* *****) reached out to them and got no response. She told me they will not talk with her about my account. They refuse to give me my money since they said it was deposited to me. How can that be when no account with that debit card exist. Like I said already it is not showing deposited/ completed like my last two transfers which the correct debit card number was used. My hands are tied and not getting any help from them. Thank you for your help and looking into this matter.

    Dear *****, 

    Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We deeply understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

    To clarify, Tapcheck does not select or manage which account funds are sent to. When you initiated the transfer request via the Tapcheck mobile application, the system automatically used the bank account information that was saved in your profile at the time. The account details, including the debit card or bank information, are provided and must be confirmed during setup or transfer requests.

    For the transfer in question, the Next Day transfer option was selected. This option requires that funds be sent via a bank account and routing number rather than just a debit card. The funds were sent to the bank account associated with your profile at the time of the request. Additionally, we see that this account had been successfully used for transfers in the past. Regretfully, while you mentioned this account is no longer active, the funds were successfully deposited into that account. For your security, we are unable to obtain any further access to retrieve funds from that account. 

    Our team has been in communication and provided the bank name and transaction details necessary for you to address this with the financial institution. They will be best equipped to assist you in recovering these funds. Were pleased to see that transfers to your updated account have since been processed successfully to the new account.

    If you need further support or have additional questions, please dont hesitate to reply to our previous emails or reach out directly to our team at *********************************** Were here to assist and ensure you continue to benefit from the service.

    Thank you for your understanding,

    The Tapcheck Team

    I used Tapcheck as a one use as I was transitioning to another agency. I only used $200. On 4-14-23 when I received my Tapcheck deducted the $200 which was suppose to happen. My employer didn’t send in the rest of my hours which resulted me getting another check that same day, Tapcheck took an additional $200 out of my check which was not suppose to happen, they already had received their $200. I have sent numerous emails, spoke on chat did receive a phone call and which they left a message saying they saw the error was going to verify with my employer to get this resolved, he asked me to call back or to respond to the email, I’ve tried calling you never can speak with anyone they tell you leave a message and someone will respond back I have to hear a thing and my employer says no one has contacted them. $200 may not sound like a lot but it is when you’re a single mom with 3 kids. I’ve been trying to get this resolved but now I’m getting very frustrated.

    Hi ******,
    We sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your concern. We have been working to improve these processes. After looking into this issue, it appears that the refund should have been processed by the employer and the payroll provider. We did communicate this, but unfortunately, we were not informed whether it was resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we hope the matter has since been addressed. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to enhance our products and services. Thank you for your understanding.

    There was a deduction error on my 4-19-24 paycheck and I am being given the run around on getting a resolution. Tapcheck should have taken just ****** but took ******. Three transactions were cancelled due to their website timing out and I have included proof showing the cancellation. I have called 7 different times now, most recently speaking to *****, supervisor of agent ****** who took my first call on 4-19-2024. ****** sent me an email with a link to upload my proof. I have done this. 7 phone calls later each promising a follow up, with failure to do so, I have no resolution and they have failed to refund my money.
