Comments on Direct Express® Mobile for Android

★★★★☆ Sandy P · May 27, 2026

The only complaint I have is that there's NOT one ATM on the whole Iron Range in Mn. that doesn't charge the surcharge! Would be kind of nice to be able to get your money out w/o having to pay five bucks every time. That adds up quick! Other than that it's an awesome card!

★★★★★ Roland Hoaglen · Jun 2, 2026

The Direct Express app is the best for managing your DE card, tracking spending, and pretty much all else in regards to your DE card. If you've got a Direct Express debit card, then you need the app.

★☆☆☆☆ George Torres · May 14, 2026

You can't use this app now unless you agree to have your location, phone number, device, device operating system, and other personal info collected by this company. They claim it's for potential fraud. I'm assuming they also sell some of this info. I hate to delete this app, but, I have to now. You should too.

★☆☆☆☆ Ricky · May 9, 2026

This financial institution sucks! I wasn't able to use my card for anything on the internet! I have never heard of a so-called bank restrict me from being able to only use my account in person! I'm 60 years old and don't have a vehicle! I couldn't use Walmart assists to get food or anything that I needed! I wouldn't give this app any stars because they want to control me and my money!
