    Customer service is often very bad, hold times are ridiculous, and employee knowledge needs improving. I don't like how long it takes to receive my money after an issue. Troubleshooting/problem solving abilities need to greatly improve.

    I have had the best experience with Green Dot. Especially with the direct deposit and the no fee ATMs. The no fee ATMs have saved me lots of money when going to the ATM. And I am on Disability, so the direct deposit is the best. And I get my money 2 days before payday.

    I found some unauthorized transactions on my card. When I called customer service to rectify situation, I was told I had to fill out a form and either email or mail it in. Fine. Next day, my card wouldn't even work. I was told there was a hold on my account, and we could not have access to our own money until a new card came in, which could take up to seven days. So, in the meantime, we can't put gas in our cars, or feed our children. They had absolutely no answer to that. Customer service is horrible. How and why are we being punished because someone else hacked our account? Absolutely DONE with this company. The worst company I have EVER dealt with. I will tell EVERYONE to run - far away from this company!

It's accurate with your direct deposit, as long as whomever you are receiving your pay from submit it @ the right time.

Then I use it at Citibank ATM and it only works in some, not all. Makes no sense. Then I can't use Green Dot at gas stations. I'm tired of paying bank fees and your fee. Using too much money.

    I don't like calling customer service because 9 out of 10 times the reps don't understand me and cannot help me or give me the wrong answers. Sometimes you cannot even understand what they are saying. I like the convenience of the Green Dot card and that is why I have not changed my card to another carrier. I once had a problem, it took almost a year to resolve the problem which to me is too long to take to resolve an issue.

    Where we live there are several options for "prepaid" debit cards. When I chose Green Dot for my money solutions several years ago I didn't shop around and didn't realize how many different solutions there really are. And with each card, I have found each one has very different fee. I have found several that have no fees as long as my money is direct deposited, which it is. I found one that has no fees at all, no ATM fees, no monthly fees, and my plan is to switch to this card but I have been a bit too lazy to do it.

    I am just loving the Green Dot card for about 3 years now. But the only thing that bothers me is that I can't use my card at the post office in my town. I used to be able to use it, but now I can't, and it's annoying that I have to go to an ATM to get my money out to get a money order. So is there any way that you can try and fix that for me.

    I like the services I have with Green Dot and the Checking Account fee is fine as long as it never increases. There should be rewards to be redeemed for waived account fees. I know I am going to try the source card once my funds agree. My only issue is I use Green Dot as if it was a traditional bank so often times when I am handling financial business Green Dot Bank is not recognized as a reputable Bank. For example, financing and leasing, things that are used to get ahead get puts on hold for me as I rely on Green Dot Bank to be my financial institution to carrier my funds.

    I had an issue a few months back with my card and Green Dot reps really didn't seem to want to handle the situation. Money had been taken from my account without my authorization and basically I got the runaround about it. I was even told the funds removed from my account were accurate which they were not. I soon learned it was a glitch error with a computer with a business I usually made online payments with. But other than that I've never had an issue with GREEN DOT of the sort.

    It can become costly to reload the card when vendors limit you to the increment reload amounts causing multiple reloads to get the desired amount needed on the card. On top of that then the monthly fee is deducted. There are other cards with less costly fees.

    I'll start out by saying I'm very happy with the direct deposit feature. My money is available as soon as payroll sends it to Green Dot. Unlike other banks that make you wait a day or so to release the funds. My problem is with the VIP service I pay extra for. My atm fees that Green Dot charges for withdrawals are suppose to be waived. However due to a glitch I have to call Green Dot every few months to get them refunded manually. They submitted a ticket to have this fixed but that was almost a year ago and still no resolution.

    When I call I no longer explain the situation to a regular representative as they have repeatable swear there is no issue. And insist the fees are legitimate. I have to demand a supervisor who then understands the situation and can resolve it. To be clear I'm not referring to the atm owners fee. I'm referring to Green Dot's cash advance fee of 2.50. I just deal with it as the overall function of the card is convenient and I really enjoy the fact that my funds are available immediately with direct deposit.

    I love my Green Dot card. I have had it for several years now and I use it every day. I even have my check going direct deposit to it and I get my check 3 days before everyone else. I absolutely love, love that. Then on top of that I got a paper check in my name and I was able to login to my account and take a picture of the check and it was deposited into my account the next day. I love that feature. If I need more money to pay a bill I go to the store and load money onto it and it's very simple and easy. I consider this as my bank account.

    This card is a replacement after I disputed an unauthorized charge by "Digtracks.com". They continued to bill my card even though I've never given them authorization or the card's info/ccv. Green Dot lacks in cardholder's protection against fraudulent charges. This is a debit card account, yet Green Dot continues to allow digtracks.com charges to accumulate like a charge account.

    Chose this card because it boasts the ease of use and minimal fees. Couldn't be further from the truth. Unacceptable amount of fees $8/month and stores listed as having non-fee ATM's is a load of bull!! I am charged about $5 each transaction at any store. I am looking for another card or bank as soon as possible.

    Updated on February 16, 2017: I am completely appalled at the lack of customer service. I completed an honest but negative review and received a phone call with an attempted apology in the form of a one-time refund of a monthly fee and was asked to change my review!! Two days later, my card was declined and has not been working since, showing as not recognized or declined. My direct deposit was posted to the account only days prior. I've called the customer service tel# 866-795-7597, MULTIPLE times and CANNOT get a customer service representative. The system doesn't even give you the option to speak with a representative!!

    Furthermore, I entered the card # several times for account verification, it did not recognize it, stating it doesn't exist so I had to enter my SS#. This is beyond unprofessional. At this point I only want my card to be reactivated or fixed, so that I have access to my money. I will be removing my account as soon as I have another one set up. How can one not consider this retaliation for honesty?

    It's been a lot better than I expected. If a bank/business takes a long-term approach, customers always get treated right. BUT, if you take the every 3 months quarterly Wall Street view, then we'll (customer) get the shaft. I'm in a Startup business now, so I'll be watching my dollars & cents.

    Called because I wasn't familiar with a charge. So when I spoke the representative she reminded me of the time and location so that I could recall the transaction. She was polite and very helpful. She assured me that the transaction was pending and the funds available was correct.

    I think the monthly fee should go back down because I am on a fixed income and was using my card for internet shopping and paying bills online when your company hiked the prices for things I was already doing. How is it fair? I realize that this will fall on deaf ears but you wanted my opinion.

    First of all, I'd like to say I love using the Green Dot card. No overdraft fees, I can use this card at every location that take debit/credit cards, and to reload at many locations. Now, the reasons I have a few problems. Before I updated my app, I never had a monthly fee because my check was direct deposited from the government. Now since the update, I have had a maintenance fee for the past few months. I have been using a Green Dot card for over 2 years.

    When it came time for my card to expire, I was not issued a new card. Two months before expiration month I had contacted customer service, via email, about the expiration of my card. They assured me that a new card would be sent to me by the middle of the month. If not received then I should call for new one. I didn't receive new one so I called. I was informed that I didn't qualify for a new card. I had to purchase a new one. Overall, my experience had been great. Just had a few bumps along the way. Not bad enough to stop using the card. I have already referred lots of friends and family to use Green Dot cards.

There are times I'm unable to retrieve my account information when I call the automatic service system, and I am not able to access my account online for some eccentric reason; even after setting up my account online.

    I called on January 9th to ask about a transaction I did not recognize. Come to find out it was fraud and they deactivated both of my accounts. I have two cards, use them very very often and he said he would mail me a new card within 7 business days. I explained to them I have all my money tied up with Green Dot and I need to pay bills and put food in the house for my family. They froze my account until I recover the new card in the mail.

    Even after my explanation of everything tied up they didn't care. I would have thought they would have overnighted a new card or two day shipped it but a week with no money means no gas for cars, no food as I travel 6 out of the 8 days for work. I have late fees on bills now that I have never been late on and honestly it's all because Green Dot don't have a better way of handling these situations. Once this card comes in the mail I have withdrawing all my money and will be issuing a different service. This is ridiculous. I have missed 3 days of work because I have no way of accessing my cash.
