Great I'm sorry to read negative reviews but the experiences often vary from person to person and from different situations, I'm totally satisfied with the services offered by Denizen and I think that at the moment is the best solution for those traveling especially outside U.E. and often uses currency other than the euro. I am a Founding Member and Denizen in addition to a change for me correct refund the various commissions that the banks apply during withdrawals. A few months ago, as someone remembered, has reclaimed 80 euros as a gift to have used the card, honestly I've never seen such a thing ...

I have been a remote consultant for 2… I have been a remote consultant for 2 years now and I lose about $400 a year to bank fees. This bank/account is saving me lots of money and time. I feel much more proud and confident when I send invoices to clients. I wish this was around 5 years ago when I was an expat. Great service. They respond very quickly.

*Update* Bank resolved issue I really tried to give this bank a chance but they have displayed either gross incompetence or negligence and it makes me afraid to have any money with them any longer (I have tried to close my account and transfer my funds out a week ago but they still have not, despite their promise of "immediate" account closure on their website). Simply put, I noticed my account balance seemed higher than I expected back in early January. I asked Denizen why this was and to rectify it, and they just said they would "look into it and get back" to me. I followed up many times over the next few days and weeks and would not get a response. I even asked what should be a very straightforward question once of "what is my account balance?" and they would not tell me. So in February I assumed that I was being crazy and my account balance was fine. I spent down my account and added to it with seemingly no problem. Now in April I try to transfer money to fund a down payment for my house. Denizen froze my account and for weeks would not tell me why. I even call and they just say "I cannot answer, but I promise I will have my manager call you back right away with an explanation" and I would wait and receive no call or message, even after a week. I finally ask to close my account and transfer the money out, and I get a call saying OK but they just realized my account balance was wrong so they are going to deduct nearly $4,000 from my account first. Do not trust this bank if you a) value knowing how much money is in your account, b) want to trust that you have the ability to spend the money that is in your account, and/or c) want to work with an company that will respond (note: in my case, I went MONTHS without getting a response, both via email and phone) to customer service questions or requests for help. **Update: Since posting this review, the bank has provided compensation for most of the amount in question. I appreciate the bank took the issue seriously and hope they continue to improve their operations and customer service.

I'm disapointed. (Update) Beware of Denizen they will block you when you write a bad comment on Facebook. 18 days and still no card, no usa account, it does not respond to e-mails correctly. I am waiting for the refund of my money and the closing of my account Denizen.

F**king miserable Ever since I signed up with Denizen, things have been a mess. Things have never properly worked on the app, it's really a bad design and totally unreliable. I've had trouble linking banks, sending money, and I recently tried to pay my credit card with this bank and it was returned twice resulting in big fees and an accidental carried balance. The customer service is not good either, people are nice enough but they seem to have no idea what's going on. I was really hoping this would work because banking between the US and Germany sucks, but I guess I'll have to try something else. I know it's tempting because they have no fees but do yourself a favor and just AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
