It's very good. The only issue i have is if you pay manually before the allowance is due to your child, you are hit with allowance reminders through email/texts it wasn't paid directly through them.

12 days so far to fix their error.

£40 taken from grandson's account in error. Their error. They have been 'investigating' and 'looking into it' for 12 days. A blind man on a galloping horse can see what has happened. Three times I've spoken to their helpline. Promised to get back to me within 24 hours. Never happened. Once they sort their mess out, I'm closing the account. All other transactions that benefit gohenry have been seamless, of course.

Hi Kate,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a 1 star Trustpilot review. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with GoHenry.

We are pleased that we have been able to discuss this with you. We understand how frustrating the £40 error and the lack of follow-up within the promised 24 hours must have been, especially given the inconvenience caused to both you and your grandson. While we continue investigating this with the relevant teams, we have credited £40 to your account as a gesture of goodwill.

We value your custom and are sorry that this experience has led you to consider closing your account. As soon as we have further updates, a member of our Supervisor team will be in touch.

Kind regards,

Calumn - GoHenry Supervisor

Fees for everything!

I had been a customer for two years paying £3.99 per month. The first card expired and the new one sent is not personalised which I paid for when setting up the account. I'm expected to pay £4.99 for a new personalised card each time the old one expires, on top of all that money I've already spent on the monthly fee! It's made me move to Monzo for their FREE non-personalised cards. I'll give my child the extra £3.99 per month!

Hi Dean, we understand that the 50p service charge when topping up isn't ideal. Charging for the service allows us to continue adding and improving features on the app to make our members and their family's lives easier. Of course, it’s not for everyone and we respect that.

You are experiencing a service charge as the Everyday membership tier does include one, we do have other membership tiers which don't include a service charge and have more benefits on the GoHenry account, more information about this can be found through our community page: https://uk.community.gohenry.com/s/article/gb-How-much-is-the-GoHenry-membership-fee

If you would like to query this further, please do reach out by emailing us at help@gohenry.co.uk or give us a call at 0330 100 7676, we can then take a look into your account with you to make sure your query is resolved!

Hi Rory! Thank you so much for your 5-star review and for sharing your feedback! We're delighted to hear that GoHenry is working well for you. We wanted to let you know that GoHenry cards are contactless, and the contactless feature will be activated after you complete a chip and PIN transaction. GoHenry cards are also compatible with Apple Pay for children over 13, in line with Apple’s age restrictions. Google Pay is something we're planning for the future, but we focused on Apple Pay first since Google Pay requires users to be 16 or older. Stay tuned for updates! - Naomi 😀

Miscommunication

**GoHenry have since been in touch and have honoured half the bonus for the referral which met the terms which is better than nothing and I’m appreciative of. **

Referred 2 friends as I had a promotion of £30 each referral plus a £150 bonus for 2 referrals. 2 friends signed up but one did not receive the card and didn’t notice straight away. It was therefore not activated by the deadline. We got in touch and I was ASSURED the bonus promotion was still active on my account and once the criteria had been met I would get it, even clarifying this was the case even though the deadline was missed. I thought as the card had not reached her they were still honouring it out of good will as she said I would get it. New card was sent out to friend and activated as soon as she got it. Waited the 70 days as per the terms and no bonus £150. Got in touch and told terms weren’t met and there had been a “miscommunication” in my previous conversation and they meant the £30 referral fee which I got. I specifically said bonus! Told me to clarify I needed to get both my friends to get in touch, one who got the card and activated in the time frame etc so no need to involve a busy mum who works full time and has enough on her plate as it is! I didn’t need clarification, I know what happened and explained it the first time I got in touch but was told I would still get it and now it comes to the date I should have been paid it I’m being told I won’t.

Hi Nicole,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand how frustrating this situation must feel, especially after referring friends in good faith.

We take feedback like this seriously, particularly where expectations may not have been met or where there has been any confusion around promotional offers. We’re sorry for any miscommunication that may have occurred during your previous interaction with our team.

I have attempted to contact you by phone today, but was unable to reach you. I have followed up with a detailed email so we can look into this properly for you. We’d really appreciate the opportunity to review your case in full, including the conversations you’ve referenced, and work towards a fair resolution.

Please could you respond to our email and get back in touch with us at your convenience, so we can look into this further for you.

You can also give us a call on 0330 100 7676. Our offices are open 8 AM - 8 PM, 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you

Hi Liv! We are sorry to hear that there has been disappointment regarding delayed bank transfers. With GoHenry, some of our users have bank details that can take up to 24 working hours to apply to the account, as a credit. As well as this, if a transfer exceeds our single transfer limit, we need to seek manual approval from our internal team, due to the fact that we are a pocket money service designed for children.
If you are looking to add funds to an account instantly, we do offer giftlinks, which are an instant way of adding funds into the GoHenry accounts, or the main parent account holder can complete a manual top-up via the app, which would also go through straight away! You can read more on giftlinks here: https://uk.community.gohenry.com/s/article/gb-How-do-Giftlinks-work 😊
