Really been having problems accessing the online account information. I need to download and print account information, BUT, I keep getting this "internal problem" message, and further access has been denied! My Federal Housing Assistance is in "jeopardy" if I cannot access, download, and print the information to the Housing Authority offices within several working days.

I accidentally missed one number on my direct deposit information with my job. I tried to call customer service only to not be serviced but not helped at all. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out how I can get my money but it really sucked to not be able to be serviced at all.

I had a different bank and I couldn’t use it. I got a Green Dot and it helped me because I could put money on there whenever I want to. I’ve only really found one reload company, but it’s in multiple locations. I just need it to be more accessible.

I called in due to charges to my account that were not made online for about 2 months for the same product. I was advised in order to send another card to my new address I had to send a utility bill and my drivers license. I sent the documents every day for an entire week as they advised they would never receive them. Finally got a rep after a week and him seeing my call ins for the same thing for an entire week, to change it via phone. He transferred me to another department to have another card ordered so I asked if I could still transfer from bank to bank or my Uber account as it’s through Green Dot as well and was told yes.
I tried to transfer the funds today as I’m going on a family vacation tomorrow and now being being advised that I can’t until I receive my new card in 7 days? Very unacceptable as I had funds in the account that were just deposited and another scheduled for tomorrow that I will have no access to for vacation. They act as if it wasn’t their issue. Then they denied my claim for the charges that had been coming out of my account for a product that I never ordered. After 11 years with them once my card comes I’m taking all the money off and canceling all direct deposits as we speak.

Yesterday I went to have dinner with some friends after a long shift at work and I checked my balance to my Green Dot card. Seen that 76.99 was taken from my card but I hadn't left work all day. Then I seen it was from a store in Illinois! I live in Colorado! When I talk to your representative they said they couldn't file a dispute till the 2nd but that still leaves me broke and hungry and no way to get to work. What upsets me more is I get paid on the 25th and no way to get that money either because I had to cancel my card. It feels hopeless and upsetting that there is no protection against these kinda actions. To feel safe. I have been using your card for some time now and love it till today.

I purchased a Walmart prepaid card for direct deposit. I cashed my paper check and loaded it on the card and used my temporary card just fine. I gave my employer the information so I could receive my next check via direct deposit. Meanwhile my personalized card handy come in the mail yet so I called customer service and was told my card had been returned to them and I had to wait 1 week to receive a new card. I asked if in the meantime could I still use my temporary card when my direct deposit came on and they told me yes. Then They advertise getting my check 2 days early so I decided to check my mobile app to see if my funds were loaded and I couldn't log in and a pop up saying my account was blocked and under review.
So I went online and logged in through there and saw that my money was on my account, I saw nothing else saying my account was blocked so I went to buy my baby’s diapers. My card was declined. I called customer service again. That’s when I was told I could not use my temporary card because my new one was on the way then was told I needed to email in a copy of both sides of my valid ID and my pay stub! I didn’t understand why so I asked if there was a security issue or did I do something wrong. They wouldn't give me an answer. Just told me that even when my new card arrives I still have to email my proofs so the block would come off.
If I hadn't logged into my online account and seen my pay check on my card and used it, being declined and at the store, getting frustrated and calling customer service I would have never known there was a block on my funds. I emailed what they asked and was told it would take 2 days to review and the block would be lifted. I’m a single mom of 2 young kids! I chose this card for its convenience but so far I can't use my hard earned money! I work for a well known company. I don’t understand why Green Dot needs to make sure it’s not a fraudulent direct deposit. I just pray it only takes 2 days. Once I access my money I’m cancelling this card.

At first I was skeptical about getting my child's survivor benefits on a pre-paid card due to security reasons and also I was nervous that it would not be eligible for loading government funds (if you receive government money, you will know how picky the state is as to what banks they will allow to access funds from them) but being that I did not want to have a checking account with paper checks I decided that it would be worth it for me to try and see if a Green Dot card would work for me and my son. If you have ever had to apply for survivors benefits for your child you know that it can most definitely be a lengthy process especially if there are other children from different relationships being as you all need to file at the same time and the first parent of a child that files starts a 90 day time clock for all other parents with children that have a common parent.
So after a lengthy six months I decided to call and find out why it is that I still had not received any payment for my son. After about an hour and a half on the phone they came to the conclusion they never sent the money be sure they had no payment processing information. I then had to re-submit the routing and account number in order for them to go ahead and release funds I was then told it could be up to another thirty days before I received the payment as they had to do verification on the account. Well lo and behold the great get ur money faster green dot delivered the very next morning. I was so thrilled that here it is two years later and I'm still using that same card and same account and have no intention on changing that any time soon.

I relocated temporarily to Costa Rica. My card, nor the App work here. I have to transfer money from my Green Dot card to another card to be able to use my money. My direct deposit goes to my greendot card. This is a huge annoyance as it costs me 3% to relocate my earnings. I requested help from Greendot and was basically told “I can’t help you any further”, by the customer service person. I liked the card in New York but it’s pretty much useless if you’re traveling or temporarily working abroad. It took me hours to locate the rules concerning overseas usage and that information was vague at best. The Greendot rules are poorly written, difficult to find and confusing.

I used them several years ago. Money was tied up for a month waiting for a card that had to be sent 4 times and only received after legal action was pending; then, they were able to FedEx the card. Needless to say I took all off my money and spread the word fast. We can do something about lack of customer service and disdain displayed by the ones we patronize. Simply don't patronize them. If we don't come, they can't operate. They will go away and take their rude, lying, third-world underpaid workers with them. Warn everyone you know. The sorry repetitive response to all complaints speaks for itself. They don't care as long as you keep loading. Don't be a fool. Bankrupt them and get the last laugh.

I used an ATM with a skimming device which resulted in my account being robbed at 2 other ATMs. By the time I realized what happened the criminals had taken $600 out of my acct. Green Dot has been less than helpful. The denied my dispute. They said due to lack of documentation. This was 10 days after my dispute. I had called them several times during this 10 day period and was told everything was on track and they claimed to have everything they needed. Turns out they never did any real investigation like requesting video from the Cap One Bank where the criminals took my money. Their response to me regarding this was I needed to go back to Cap One and do this myself.
When I called Cap One they had no idea of this incident. I called the actual branches where this occurred. Cap One told me that Green Dot was supposed to be the one doing the necessary footwork to figure this out. So now after fighting with Green Dot over the phone for several hours they have resubmitted my dispute. The representative told me if I didn't collect more documentation that it is likely that my dispute will be denied again. This whole mess should have been worked out and solved by now. I did file a police report yesterday and provided via email correspondence the case # to Green Dot. This incident happened on June 2nd of this year. I'm on day 14 with no resolution in sight. I have been served eviction papers due to not paying rent and this has snowballed into several other bills being behind. I cannot wait another 10 days for them to get back with me. I need my $$ back. Please help. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

I accidentally bought a MoneyPak card instead of reload at the register. I bank with BankMobile Vibe, so it isn't one of Green Dot's bank or prepaid cards. It is my regular checking account. I figured it was no big deal, I should be able to load the MoneyPak to my account through their website. I typed in the MoneyPak number and set up an account login. It needed to verify my identity. No big deal. I uploaded pics of my ID. It said I would receive notice within 30 minutes. I waited and didn't get any messages. So, I tried to log in to see if there was any updated info there, like maybe it went through but the email to notify me didn't send. I kept getting a message that my username or password is incorrect. So, I tried changing the password. I got confirmation by text that my password was changed, but still couldn't log in.
After about two hours I received the email that my identity was approved, and a bunch of change of password notification emails over two hours after making the changes. By this time, I didn't even know what password it would recognize. So, I changed it one more time and went to bed, so it would have plenty of time to register before I tried signing in with the new password. It has been two days that I have been trying to sign in and getting told that my info is incorrect. The $500 I was trying to deposit to my bank account was my last paycheck from my job and was supposed to pay for the moving truck for me to move out of state. I had to cancel the truck and plan to just leave all of my stuff here in storage and just take what I can fit in my vehicle.
And, now I am worried that I won't even have enough gas money to get there, if I don't find a way to get my $500 back. I even tried just having my sister put the moneypak number into her account then transfer me the money from her bank account. But, when she tried it said that moneypak was denied probably because I had already typed it into my account before it asked me to verify my identity. I am freaking out! I have been reading all of these horrible reviews on different websites saying that it took forever to even get in contact with anyone from the Green Dot company. And, when they did, it took weeks to get a check for their disputed money. I am pretty sure the login issue is just some kind of technical issue with their site and that if I could log in to my account, I would be able to complete the transaction. I just need to talk to someone who can fix my account somehow.

I have been having my account with Green Dot for years. Have been pleased up until recently when I had an issue with a pending transaction.

Called Green Dot back to get fax number and rep refused to give me a fax number and pretty much told me they wasn't going to do anything. I keep calling finally asking to speak with a supervisor. The rep left me on hold twice for 5 mins each and then came back and said manager was busy and said they would call me back and I never received a callback from anyone.

Ok so one of my close friends set up a fundraiser for me on Facebook because I recently found out I have stage 4 lung cancer. We thought it would be convenient to have the $ put on our Green Dot card. 3 separate transactions were deposited to Green Dot from Stripe in the total amount of $963.15. I then went to sign into my account and my card was blocked. I then reached out to customer service only to be told I had to prove who I was and that the $ that was deposited belonged to me and was to go into my account. I asked them how I should do this since I was not the one who set the fundraiser up and did not have access to this account. They told me to screenshot a picture of the fundraiser page and send it to them along with a copy of my driver's licenses front and back. They gave me a case #. No return email or phone call or any kind of contact.
I called them back and they told me the same thing, that I needed to prove who I was. I wasn’t understanding the items that they were requesting. They just kept rudely repeating the documents that they needed. I requested to speak with a manager and they took my name and phone number and said a manager will call within 4 hours. No phone call was received that day at all. The next day I got a message from Green Dot requesting me to call the customer service number. I had my friend come to my house so she can log into her Facebook account so we could search for any type of receipts and we were able to find them (after getting help from fb live support). We printed them out and sent them to Green Dot. All information was in the receipts, the amount, for who and deposited to Green Dot.
Now mind you I now have a different case number as well. I called to verify they received my documents and ask them to unlock my card. Customer service states that now they cannot accept my scanned copy of my driver's licenses and that I needed to take a photo from my phone of front and back of DL and send it to them. I sent them exactly what they ask for. I again, followed up with a phone call and first I was told they have never received any documents and told me I had to prove who I was again. While customer service was on the phone I read off all the dates that I have submitted documents they ask for and told them when I spoke with someone the day before they said I needed to submit a picture of my DL. She then told me, "Yes ma’am that is true and the ID you sent us don’t match the information on the card." I said, "Wait a minute you said you didn’t receive any documents."
She then said, "Ma’am I need a photo ID with (my name) not Jesse White." I said, "Ma’am Jesse White is the Secretary of State and he is listed in the top of every IL driver's licenses." She repeated that she needed my ID not Jesse White. I then asked to speak to a manager. She became rude and took down my name and number and said a manager would call. All day no call. I just called back customer service. I gave them my card #, DOB, last 4 of SS, address and phone number.
She asked how she could help me and I told her I’m following up on my card and a phone call I was suppose to get. She told me that she couldn’t help me that I had to wait for a manager to call me. For someone who is sick and has no income I don't even have the words to express how angry I can’t access my money. I am giving this until 6-14-19 and if I can’t get this resolved I will be reaching out to a attorney. What a shame. Not to mention no one can tell me why I had $915.63 deposited but am only receiving 750.00. I’ve never gotten the run around as bad as this before by a major company.

I get paid every two weeks. I get paid on Fridays. I got Green Dot card due to being paid 2 days early which has never happened so that's false advertising. I will provide my last pay as an example. My job sends an email when the funds are sent to my account. So I received the email on May 28th stating funds were sent. I didn't receive until May 31st as that is when it was posted to my account. I called their automated line which states that my last deposit was on May 29th. I called to see why they are holding on to my pay for 2 days before releasing the funds to me. No one ever has an answer. They continue to tell me to contact my job. No supervisor or agent is ever helpful. I've been told so many different things by different reps is just ridiculous. It's like they read from a script.
I have confirmed with my job that my funds are sent every other Tuesday. If I can't get my money when my job sends it, then it's no point in me having this card. I am starting to feel like they hold on to it to collect a little interest then release it. It's extremely sad that such a large company dealing with so much money conducts themselves worse than the IRS. I will not be using Green Dot after tomorrow when they decided to release my funds. I have been with them the entire time I've had this job and have never gotten what's always being advertised. I am a salaried employee so it's not like it's a different amount that needs to be investigated. This is a horrible company who could care less about the needs of their customers. I will be submitting a complaint on the BBB website as well.

Yesterday I purchased a Green Dot MoneyPak from Walgreens. I later attempted to reload my Varo card with the help of a Green Dot customer service agent. I gave him my information card number and debit card number to be loaded. He confirmed the right amount and he also confirmed the correct card number. He later then said that the transaction was successful. One hour later I didn't receive my funds. I knew this was weird because I normally get them very fast. I called back, ain't got back to the same customer service agent who rudely said that I need to wait and be patient.
One day later I still have not received my funds. I needed this for a serious emergency that is still ongoing at this moment. I am very frustrated at the lack of customer service and the ability to reach a live agent. Your customer service agent either didn't listen or care about entering the right information or he stole my money point blank. At this point I just want my money back fast. If I cannot get my money back I will escalate this to every agency imaginable as well as my 20,000 Instagram followers.

I recently got my tax return on the Intuit Green Dot prepaid card. I was able to get a little bit of money out since I usually carry cash instead of my card, and when I needed to use my card again it was missing. Someone racked up charges on my account, and I had filed for a new card and to dispute the charges. On the 8th business day of the first claim, it was denied so I had to call back and ask for a supervisor to call me back the next day to get the claim reinstated. Then waited another seven days before a manager was able to call me back from the corporate office, told me how to send in the letter via email because I don't have money for stamps or gas, and then find out that it was denied the same day, when I called in to check on it the day after.
I'm extremely upset that this is happened, and that this is your decision on the matter and that no information was given on how to produce "new information" from the corporate office. I don't know who to contact now, or who to go to about this but I did see that I might have to contact some sort of governing authority over this matter. I really would not want to take the bureaucratic route but seeing as I already did with you guys and I'm the one who's getting punished in the situation.

Long as I have had my Green Dot card, it has been a very great experience. The pros are the checking and savings acct access and the ability to transfer, send, deposit, and withdraw fund at my will. The only cons I have is the $9.95 fee for maintenance. I have a card from another issuer with the same features but it's free checking and savings no fees.
The other con is the cash back. Whole it's good to get cash back it takes to long to see your return on the cash back. Let me explain, for example, right now I have already used my card enough to get the $100 cashback which I think is the max. But i won't get that money until next year. Like last year. It seems to me that the cash should be given as it's accumulated, not at the end of the year. By that time I will have used my card for thousands of dollars. Like last year. Other than that I have no issues with it. The cards great for what I need it for.

I was surprised at how much the Green Dot card can do for me. It is just like a bank card and it does actually have a checking account (routing and account number) which comes convenient when doing finances that require a bank account. I do have to suggest getting the VIP card. When I had the basic card, I was unable to use it when getting gas for my car. The VIP card allows you to do that. Other than that, it works just like a real bank checking/debit card.

I moved back to the United States from Germany and needed a quick solution for my finances. Green Dot has been excellent throughout my experience. The app works perfectly and notifies me of any charges, updates and deposits flawlessly. I also use Green Dot for my direct deposit and often I receive payment a day before payday, which is a nice bonus! However it is difficult sometimes using the card at certain locations. Be wary that car rental companies and some business will not honor the 'pre-paid' card as an actual debit card, even though it has the Visa logo. But on average 95% of transactions work perfectly as a normal debit transaction. Thanks Green Dot!

This has been a convenient way for banking, as well as card purchases with easy to find locations to refill or withdraw your cash.

In my opinion and having low income has been quite frustrating at times, having 2 dollars to my name and a 10$ account fee deducted at the 1st of every month will stay negative with the remaining amount until another deposit.

My previous bank decided it would be a good idea to charge me me a monthly fee after I requested the account to be closed. I had already withdrawn my cash because of a security issue so I was charged 2 NSF fees because 1 I didnt have any cash to cover the monthly fee of 15 dollars and the other because there was no cash to cover the NSF fee they charged me for after knowing I had withdrawn my cash. Long story short I was switching jobs at the time and went to apply to a local bank and they informed me that I had a delinquency flagged under my name for non payment of a NSF fee.
So I started looking into other banks that I could get a card through that would allow direct deposit, I stumbled upon Green Dot at Walmart bought the card for 3 bucks deposited a little money on it and I was good to go. Setup was a breeze and customer service had me on and off the line in no more than 10 minutes tops, The app is amazing you can pay bills with direct pay order checks and transfer cash to other accounts so long as they are Green Dot. Even better they dont charge you to transfer cash to your savings and back other banks always charged me if I did it more than 7 or 8 times a month knowing you cant plan for the unexpected you can only prepare for it, Green Dot really gets it.
Not to mention if you have a direct deposit thats of a certain amount they wave the monthly charge. Green Dot is awesome because they get me my money up to 3 sometimes 4 days early after my employer releases payment. Even tax returns are easy using them. I got my taxes about 2 weeks before any of my friends did. If you're tired of all the other banks out there please give GreenDot a chance you wont regret it.

Green Dot insisted that is was the fault of the merchant and wouldn't listen to any kind of reasoning on my part. I tried to tell them that THEIR system was telling me the card was closed but they wouldn't take any responsibility for the problem. All the merchant could see was the card being declined.... What else could they do??

After canceling the card, Green Dot refuses to issue me a check with the remaining funds. I've sent every identifying document I have to verify my identity. They refuse to change my contact information to the current address and phone number (even though the address on my state issued id is clearly legible, and I've sent countless pieces of supporting documentation they've asked for, including state government documents sent to said address, a lease agreement etc). They refuse to let me speak to a supervisor. They tell me I will receive a callback from the corporate office within two business days. They keep calling the wrong number, despite clear instruction stating the phone number on file is incorrect.
