T-Mobile is making a big push for the T-Life app , envisioning it as the super app that does everything for you. The carrier has retired several older apps into T-Life, like the erstwhile T-Mobile and the T-Mobile Tuesdays apps. Now, the carrier is sunsetting yet another app in favor of T-Life. If you are an avid user of the T-Mobile Money app, you must make your peace with the T-Life app.
Reddit users have received an email from the carrier announcing that the T-Mobile Money experience will soon move to the T-Life app.
T-Mobile’s website confirms the change, but also points out that a few things are changing with T-Mobile Money with the move to the T-Life app:
A new home in T-Life: The T-Mobile Money app is going away. You’ll access your account through the T-Life app or at t-mobilemoney.com.

T-Mobile doesn’t say this out loud, but as one Reddit user points out, the fact that people are getting new debit cards and account numbers indicates that T-Mobile is possibly switching the underlying bank. The web page still notes that Coastal Community Bank provides banking services.
