    There is really no good reason to use the card as far as rewards. The one reward you do get you have to wait 12 months to get it and it's not even that much compared to the fees and the amount of money that I deposit and withdraw from you all. And I am really considering changing to another provider and I do not expect a response from this cause you probably won't even read it.

    The $10 monthly fee is ridiculous especially when you have direct deposit setup. I feel like the fee should be waived especially if you have a certain number of transactions and deposits. I use the card often and $10 is a very high fee rate compared to some of the other prepaid card services.

    I guess I would say my experience is pretty positive. I haven't had any major issues that weren't my fault. I find the quick direct deposit to be fantastic. I'm paid two days prior to all of my colleagues. I wish there were more places to put cash deposits into my account but the no fee ATM at wawa makes up for it. I did miss out on the $1000 giveaway at tax time because the government kept the part I was trying to put on my card. Oh well, my fault. But yeah, good stuff. Oh I also wish they wouldn't hold deposited checks for so long. Especially if I've deposited their checks before. That's my only complaint.

    When I got my card, there was no monthly fee if you had direct deposit and now there is. ATM fees have been added also. So it costs me $6-$8 to get my money out of an ATM. That's ridiculous. Most businesses only allow $40 cash back so that's really inconvenient when you need more cash than that, and you have to spend $ to get cash back so it's not free. I'm looking into other options because of the fees.

    Delay in releasing pending transactions. I find Green Dot holds pending transactions, hotel holds, 6 or more days longer than my PayPal debit card. I have actually used my PayPal card one week after Green Dot at the same hotel and got my funds released from PayPal before GreenDot. I stay at the same hotel regularly so I know the release pattern and can compare apples to apples.

    As a rule, I am satisfied with my Green Dot card and the services it offers. However, I am dissatisfied with the alerts. Sporadically I will stop getting daily balance emails and occasionally, I will not get direct deposit info. As of today, I have not received my daily balance mail since Monday. I will also occasionally experience delays in receiving transaction mails, though recently, I did find some in my spam folder. No idea why. If I was to suggest one thing, it is to please communicate with your customers. If there is a system glitch, or a change in originating email addresses, send out a mass mail letting us know. Don't make us wait on a canned answer from tech support. That being said, I do appreciate the ease of use, and the ability to take advantage of direct deposit. Thanks.

    Overall on a scale from 1-10 I would rate this card/bank a 6.5. It’s difficult not having an ATM that is home to your bank, because not only do you get a fee for using that ATM, GreenDot charges a fee to use a foreign ATM. Yes there is a cash back option however that is not convenient for most. Secondly, when I stash/unstash money from my account, it’ll take 2-3 refreshes to show the accurate balance on the app. In addition to that, the app doesn’t always work properly, which has actually started recently dysfunctioning. When I open it, whether I use my fingerprint or password to log in, it will spin and load for as long as it takes (1 min-endless) and will not let you log in, until 5-10 attempts which I personally find aggravating. However, using this bank account has definitely been beneficial for the fact that I get paid 1-2 days early, I’m able to easily use a savings account and transfer funds, and I haven’t had any overdraft fees.

    There needs to be something done with the $10 monthly fee. Some cards waive the fee when you direct deposit or deposit a certain amount into the account each month. That would be great to see. Also, the reload fee needs to be FREE! To pay $3.75 to reload $20 to the card is RIDICULOUS! That should also be free. I am really on the brink of not using this card any longer due to these fees. Its top priority on my list. I have another Green Dot card that both these fees are FREE or waived after I deposit so much in a month. You guys should think about it too!

    I've been a customer with Green Dot prepaid card service many times in the last several years. I opted for this card with cash back option at the end of the year... but that basically just covers the $10 monthly fee over the year, so what's the point of a cash back option when I'm really gaining nothing? My paycheck is direct deposited every month and my monthly deposits are well over $1000... I'm actually looking for another option.

    My boyfriend received his direct deposit into my account as soon as he received his money we were going to open his own prepaid card with Green Dot. When I called to check the balance I was transferred to a customer service agent who told me I needed to send in a copy of my ID front and back, a copy of my boyfriends ID front and back and a copy of his pay stub. I sent in all he documents yesterday and called in today to make sure there wasn’t any issues and they said it could take 5 business days to be reviewed! My rent is due and I don’t have five business days to wait.

    I told the agent I needed to speak to a supervisor and he said they didn’t have one and they could call me back in 24 hours again. I don’t have that time to wait so I asked for them to reject the deposit and to close my account because we could get a paper check faster than waiting for these idiots to review the documents. I am being told they cannot reject the deposit and my direct deposit from my work will be rejected. This is absolutely the worst bank I’ve ever did business with and I hope this will make people who are thinking of banking here stay far far away and don’t waste your time. You speak to people in India and when you ask if you could speak to someone in America they say that is not possible however the bank is an American bank and not an Indian bank. Please please close the account and I never want to do business with you people again!

    I was asked for my opinion regarding my experience with this company. I don't care for their practices and their limited ability to fulfill their customers needs. The only way to resolve a change of address is by sending verification as if people relocate immediately for varied reasons such as abuse, loss of income, etc

    Nor, can you stop a payment to an unknown source for any reason. And the only solution is to spend all the funds in your acct, change direct deposit (not an immediate transaction). Greendot preys on the poor or less fortunate by charging fees to speak with an agent and additional fees for monthly deposits. It's an unfair system which can be observed in by the non American employees who has no experience with American financials nor the hardships we experience when treated unfairly. There's no empathy or compassion shown in urgent matters.

    I am very happy using Green DOT. I was sick of big banks holding your money and outrageous fees to purchase checks, etc. Using the card is so convenient. I have Direct Deposit and it was seamless to transition. After being with my bank for over 30 years, I was extremely unhappy with their customer service, the waiting in line to deposit and how long it takes for a deposit to be available. The Green DOT website is convenient and very user-friendly. I am a lifetime member!

    Since I have got this card I have always been charged a monthly fee when it said if you load $500 a month on it waives the fee. I have put over $2k on the card and have always been charged the fee. Also why should I have to wait 12 months for $100 bucks being I use this card all the time. I got it to $100 in 2 months. It would be better if you did it sooner than having to wait 12 months.

    The card replacement system's automation feature lacks some basic reassurances. For example, while I was asked to confirm my ZIP code, at no point did the system reaffirm with another piece of personal information such as my name - a "handshake." I did not receive a confirmation email saying when I should receive my card. The website did not have any confirmation banner when trying to replace the card. After clicking "lost or stolen," I would be taken back to the main account page. There is substantial room for improvement.

    I think the card is good to pay bills and receive direct deposit. However, because it’s a prepaid card your balance should never go into the negative. For this reason, I started using the card less. I feel that you have to load money onto the card in order to use the card and can’t understand why the account is going into the negative. Also, the maintenance fee should only be $4.95. And have more clarity about the fees. Value members shouldn’t have to pay to put money on the card.

I also am not happy with all the fees, I feel there should be a discount, whether it be on monthly fees or ATM fees for people who continue to use your card. In addition, when reviewing my account online this morning, I saw a check pending from November 2018. Shouldn't I have received a notice as to WHY? This check should have been deposited long ago. Why is it still pending after 5 months??? Please respond to these concerns, as I am considering changing to Capital One, which has been much better service in the past.

When my Intuit Green Dot card was mailed; I kept checking their automatic phone line which tells you the status of the card, 1st card was supposedly return. The automatic line transfer me to a specialist who took my information and verify the address. Told me wait 7 business days.

    On day 2 I called the automatic line. Said, "Your card is been made, on day 4 card is at the post office ready to be delivered. Be on the look out," says the automatic recording, on day 7 your card was mail back to us. Transfer me to another representative. The representative takes my information, updates the address on file and I informed them I'm calling the IRS and filing a complaint with the Attorney General. She says a card will be mailed in 7 business days. I go to the post office to hold my mail. Same scenario. When I call on 7 day, "Your card was mailed back to us."

    I get transfer to another representative who then tells me they been mailing my card to the wrong address. There was an e in front of Haverhill and they mailed the card to East Haverhill that now I need to prove my address and sent documents for them to verify; I go online, download my first page of my filed taxes with TurboTax which clearly shows no e in front of Haverhill to prove it was their system's error, I attach a copy of my license which has my old address. They said that was okay, I attached a letter from the building I live at which is a shelter by the YWCA stating I reside there with my children. Letter includes my name, date of birth.

    The representative reviews the documents. Says it will take 2 business days to verify and update my address in their system. I advise them that they're committing a federal offense holding my federal taxes which I have access to. On the second business day I called. The representative says they can't accept the letter. I'm still trying to solve issue with no luck. Next I'm calling the IRS and Solve It 7 to put it on the news and file a complaint.
