I think Modak is a very good financial app for children. It has daily scratch-offs for MBX along with challenges. MBX is an in-game currency. You can exchange 100 MBX for $1, which is AWESOME if you... See more

Lovely support team, good app for teens.

I had an issue completing a “challenge” in the app (the app creates a reward system for doing said “challenge” called “MBX” which can eventually be transferred to real spendable money) and was trouble shooting with a support member called “sprout” in the app but introduced themselves to me as “Sofia”. Although we weren't able to find a solution in the moment they were a great ally and sent me to a source with more knowledge on the situation. It’s still in the works of being resolved but i’m hopeful. The other things that have impacted my experience are; difficulty connecting my card to my phone, an issue with setting up my pin, and the app randomly logging me out. Other than that iv’e had a very good experience with Modak and recommend it to other teens and parents as a great source!

Lost cards won’t be sent again until 15 business days

It’s been 12 business days since I ordered cards for my kids and I know they’re lost in the mail since I get emails from USPS of everything I’m supposed to receive in the mail that day. I have told Modak that the cards are lost as usps told me they were supposed to be delivered last week and they never were and Modak insists I wait the full 15 business days before they’ll resend the cards. It’s very frustrating and doesn’t make sense when the cards are obviously lost in the mail.

Hi Sarah,

We’re truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issue with the delivery of your kids' cards. We completely understand how frustrating it must be to wait for something that clearly hasn't arrived, especially when you’ve already been tracking the shipment.

While we do typically wait for the full 15 business days to ensure delivery, we completely understand your situation. To make sure this is resolved as quickly as possible, someone from our team will be reaching out to you shortly with a follow-up and to discuss next steps for issuing a replacement.

We appreciate your patience as we work through this, and we’re committed to making this right for you.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and please know we’re here to support you.

Best regards,

-The Modak Team

Overall satisfied

We switched from Greenlignt after my soon could not access his funds on his Greenlight card. His card would always get declined and we could not pull money from an ATM. We have not had that issue with Modak, so with that we are satisfied. The only downfall is the fees I have every time I load my balance, since I have to use ApplePay because for some reason it won’t accept my bank account or card. Also, since I have multiple kids and am often depositing money to their accounts on the same day, my account gets flagged as “suspicious” every time. I can’t really be mad at them for having high security though, especially these days. I typically just chat with an agent or email them and they resolve it quickly, which is appreciated!

I had to reach out to customer service for a minor issue. We received my daughter’s card and it wasn’t the pattern she had requested. They were very fast to respond on the customer service chat, I had to leave the chat and order the new card after they cancelled it, I wish they could have done something on their end to expedite and verify this mistake won’t happen again. We’re still waiting for the new card, but excited to get started with it.

This is a great company to get a debit card with. They are always so helpful and fast to fix any issues. I would really recommend this to people who are looking to get a debit card, especially parents with teens.

Hi Marc,

We’re so sorry to hear your card still hasn’t arrived — we completely understand how frustrating this delay can be.

Modak cards typically arrive within 7–10 business days, so if it's been 4 weeks, we definitely want to look deeper into this. There may have been a shipping issue or delay, and we want to make sure we get this resolved for you as soon as possible.

Please reach out to us directly at hi@modakmakers.com so we can check the status of the card and see if a replacement needs to be issued. Our team is ready to assist and make things right.

Thanks again for your patience, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Best regards,
