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…..

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 From January open the account had to wait 5 Business Days to deposit while my linked bank account was withdrawn since day 1.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!!!

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.

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

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.

Stellar!

My recent experience was stellar. The customer support was fast and helpful, the website is very clear and most important, when I needed the funds they were back in my checking account within days. Highly recommend.
