WOW THIS IS AMAZING

WOW THIS IS AMAZING
ok at first I was skeptical and thought ok so no FDIC was at risk but now with me seeing the actual returns daily on my money I am so happy. The daily boost rewards are fantastic and fun. Great return on investment will highly recommend this much better than it sitting in a bank getting nothing…..

Don’t use this app

Don’t use this app. I have so many problems with this app. Deposit Issues and withdrawal issues, unable to unlink my account to replace with another account with the same bank, ridiculous. Customer Service do not have a clue on how to fix these issues! The worst experience!

Deposit issues and withdrawal issues…

Deposit issues and withdrawal issues unable to unlink my account to replace with another financial institution. From January open the account had to wait 5 Business Days to deposit while my linked bank account was withdrawn since day 1. Trying to withdraw my funds but unable to issues with the app failed to communicate with my bank for the past three days. Still Customer Service do not have a clue on how to fix these issues. I recommend to others to go to Milli app at least you earn 5.50% and is FDIC insured.

Hi Lyndon, we've look at your account, and some of your transfers are still processing. Once they are finished processing (which can take up to 7 business days), they will appear as Available Funds. You are able to withdraw any or all of your available funds back to your linked bank account for free.

I love Tellus!

I've been using Tellus for 4-5 months now, and I think it's great. Their Boost account's guaranteed 6+% daily compounded interest and the Reserve account's 8% rate beats most or all savings and CD accounts hands down. CD'S may have penalties for early withdrawals, and most savings accounts have fees for multiple withdrawals, but Tellus has no penalties or fees, and withdrawals are quick and easy. Just link your regular bank checking or savings account to Tellus and you're all set. I live in a county that has the highest property taxes in the country, and it's crucial for me to put money away monthly for semi-annual tax payments. Rather than leaving a growing pile of money in a traditional bank at .01 (1/100th) percent interest (truth), I can pick up enough extra dough from Tellus to pay my taxes and take my wife out for a nice dinner, and then start saving for the next six months. As for the one concern that your money is not FDIC insured, keep in mind that if you have stocks or mutual funds, none of that is insured either. So based on that presumption, like stocks, don't put away more than you can afford to lose. I LOVE TELLUS!!!

Been using Tellus and have to say it’s…awesome

Been using Tellus and have to say it’s excellent. Great interest rates, love the daily quiz, customer service always provide quick and accurate response to my questions. Why let your savings sit in a bank account earning nothing. Go get Tellus and earn some real interest

Top rates, easy to use

I use this app regularly for my savings and it's not only easy to use but gives me one of the best risk adjusted high yield rates in town. The boosts are easy to apply and I sleep better knowing that my money is compounding in my sleep.

Tellem ‘bout Tellus

Tellus is the absolute best way to actually earn interest, or in my view, dividends. Investing without investing, the new better bank…

To the user it’s just a bank, an internet-FDIC-insured bank, but a bank nonetheless. I want an open window into their operations and realestate investments or an expansion into that world but it’s great for the end user to share in the profits of their investments with our money.

I love tellus. I tellem all about tellus.

Very user friendly app with great features

I have been using 'Tellus' for a while and it's been great experience so far. It's a very decent app with a neat user interface. Daily trivia is fun to play, learn some basic real estate things and earn a daily boost which is amazing. During these high price markets getting 3% APY interest make sense to me. I really liked the customer support/customer success team prompt help/support on any queries. They are ready to listen customers and support their needs. Overall I am happy with Tellus based on my so far experience.

Great way to grow your emergency fund.

I must say that Tellus stands out as one of the most impressive and user-friendly platforms I have ever encountered.

From the moment I started using Tellus, I was struck by how intuitive and easy to navigate the interface was. The platform is extremely well-designed, with clear menus and buttons.

Great for your emergency fund to grow.

Absolutely love Tellus for earning…

Absolutely love Tellus for earning interest on my money. They have very good digital customer service that has been good about responding to my needs. They do update the app a lot, but that is a sign they’re constantly improving and I love being able to earn boosts on my money just by signing in daily. I hope they have more people sign up because I believe they could expand their services even more.

It’s foolish to have cash sit and lose value in a traditional bank

I’ve been using Tellus for about 3 months now and have discovered that it is by far the best place to keep cash where it will actually work for you. If you go on the app everyday and claim the daily boost you are every single day making over 3.0% DAILY compounded interest. Your local bank gives you .02-.03 tenths of a % interest and other online backs will only go as high as maybe .06 tenths of a %. When you consider todays inflation rate and the instability of the dollars value you’re actually losing money keeping money in traditional bank savings and even bank CD accounts! This is a great investment platform for cash abs during the week I’ve always gotten online assistance within hours of asking a question!

Hi Phillip! Thank you for your 5 star review.

Wary at 1st, but they resolve all concerns transparently and quickly

From the start of using this app (about 1.5 months ago) to now, their customer service has been TOP NOTCH. They reply with as many details as you request, and for something that can make people wary (a non FDIC insured savings account essentially), that is so important.

In regards to the app workings and the interest disbursement, they function smoothly and transparently. I was a little nervous to use this at 1st, but they have strongly proven themselves to be a quality legitimate service. I love these guys!

Beneficial and fun way to earn

Overall, I have enjoyed the Tellus app and the returns I have been receiving. Tellus has good support and they have made the app fun and interesting by adding the Daily Boost and the Daily Quiz questions that allow you to boost your dividends and earn a better return.

Great app great experience so far

I wanted to use an app where I could parked some money and earn interest higher than the traditional bank. I was a little concerned about how secured this app was and also how protected my money is. But I decided to give it a shot and my overall experience was smooth, from creating the account to making my first deposit.

Love it but please add option for linked banks! =)

Fairly new user here for the last 2 months. I love the app so far for its high interest rate. I like seeing my interest post to my account daily. Customer service has always responded the next business day. I've had no issues with them and they have even gone above and beyond sometimes. The one issue I have is I really really wish they would add the option to switch linked banks. Some financial institutions are proving to be untrustworthy right now and I don't feel comfortable transferring my funds back to them. Please consider this an option, Tellus! Other than that I continue to use this app for my emergency fund savings and recommend to friends and family. Currently I'm getting 6-6.10% APY with no lockups other than the aforementioned issue. There were also multiple boosts which allowed me to get 7-7.5% APY on my money for weeks. Thank you for being a great app!
