I wish the monthly fee was $5.99 and I don't have to wait a whole year for my cash back. I feel that cash back should be available anytime after 90 days especially with direct deposit. I love that I get my check early and the every day balance text. I have no other complaint.

I have been a Green Dot member for quite some time now and my experience has been exceptional over the course of the years. I have found that the company goes above and beyond to accommodate the consumers' needs and they always resolve any discrepancies in a timely manner. I would recommend Green Dot over any other competitor by far!

I have been happy with the service so far. But if you try to take a picture of a check for a deposit, forget it. They deny the check except a personal check which I don’t understand. It’s ok for a prepaid card. I just wish you could do more like other banks.

I would definitely recommend Green Dot to friends. In fact, I have. The convenience and acceptance of the card almost everywhere makes it a real workhorse. I don't have a bank account, so Green Dot is my "bank". And there's very little I cannot do with it...

I have nothing but great things to say about Green Dot. I have recommended your service to just about anyone who ask. I have basically been with Green Dot since they introduced themselves to the public. In the beginning there were problems but overtime they have gotten better including customer service. From protection from fraud to having my card stolen Green Dot fixed my problem and various other issues. Green Dot is better than any debit card on the market. I wish they had or allowed small business to receive a debit card because I would most certainly get one for my business. That way I can keep my regular bank card from being stolen.

This is the best card I have ever had! I recommend it to everyone. I've never had a problem with it. Both my Aunts use it and they are very happy with it too. It's amazing! I use at least 5 times a day. I get paid at least 2 days before everyone else at my work. I have nothing to complain about.

Green Dot is a terrific place to do business with. I haven't had any problem with them. If money is taken out of my account, I get it back, so I can't explain. I really enjoy Green Dot. I have been a member for about 7 years. I really love this debit card, it's the best. The only one I have.

I love that you waive monthly fees if you deposit so much. But the fees to use outside network ATMs are ridiculous but I understand this is a business and you need to make money. Perhaps implement a system with a certain amount of monthly out of network ATM uses with no fees. And your dispute system is lacking. I have to fill out a form that basically shuts my card off. That doesn't help with reoccurring charges that I have no agrees to. I don't want to have to get a new card just to stop them, it's an inconvenience.

My experience with Green Dot has been pretty well. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is so far. I did however have a bad experience where my information was compromised and money was used from my account. I was very upset because I had a hard time speaking with a live representative that knew about my account. Every time I would call the number on the card or off the web I would get a automated system and the call would hang up. In the end which didn't take very long at all about 10 business days my money was refunded as promised. I would like for the Green Dot app to more detail of transactions such as time of transaction and also have a search for transaction option.
I use the Green Dot everyday for many transactions and have been able to use my bank statement from Green Dot to purchase a vehicle. It was a bit hard because the statement needed to be printed out with my name on it and the phone app does not have that option but after a little talk with a representative they guided through the online site to get the proper statement print out I need worked just fine. I enjoy having a Green Dot bank card with all the benefits of leading banks besides loans. Another thing that can be a bit frustrated is when I have to get a new card due to loss or worn. I have to pay for quick delivery due to the fact that you can only get a new card by mail and you cannot touch your money until the new card arrives which could take a week maybe more depending...So my rate is 4 stars for Green Dot. Hope to see more updates to better convince and options.

I enjoy the convenience of Green Dot. Thank you for easy reload at the Dollar Tree and easy app for Green Dot to use on my phone. The easy access to my money as well as security of my money is awesome.

Green Dot Mastercard needs to lower their minimum loading fee (the amount the user puts on their card) from $20 to $5 for people who receives government benefits. Other than the balance on the card, Green Dot needs to get rid of the automated system and blow their competition out of the water for good. The reloading should be only $1 on top the loading fee for the government benefits user no matter where the user goes to load their card. The vip benefits fee needs to be lower from $4.95 a month to $2.49 a month with the exact same benefits for the government benefits vip user & the minimum purchase amount in order not to get charged. The monthly maintenance fee should be reduced from 30 to 15 for the government benefits user.
The monthly maintenance fee should be reduced from $7.95 a month to $2.49 per month without the 15 minimum monthly purchases for the government benefits. Worker paycheck fee should remain the same as they are now except the minimum loading fee for them should be reduced from $20 to $10 & the reloading fee (as stated above) should be one set price no matter where the worker paycheck user goes to load their Green Dot Mastercard & should be $5. The vip benefits with the exact same benefits they get now should be $5 per month. If Green Dot Mastercard did even one of these suggestions, they will blow their competition out of the ball park by a landslide. Thank you for allowing me to give you my honest feedback on Green Dot Mastercard.

I use my card to buy online and pay bills online. This makes me more comfortable than using my credit card because I only load the amount that I need for that moment so if someone hacks my card [God forbid] then they're not going to get much and if they do hack it, it won't be as big a deal to cancel it as it would be to cancel my credit card. I only wish the monthly fee wasn't so high. It's quite a bit, for me, seeing how many times I load my card and have to pay for that plus the monthly fee, but right now it's good for me and my situation. I love being able to load it at Dollar General. It's more convenient for me than going to Walmart. I pass a million Dollar Generals to and from work.

For the most part I am extremely happy with Green Dot however whenever I go to the MoneyPass ATM I am continually charge $2.50 and this happens twice a month. That's $5. Over the last 6 months I figured I would at least 30 to $50. I'm tired of beating my head against the wall and asking to get reimbursed. If there's something you can do I will be happy to stay but I'm really getting tired of it.

I did enjoy using my card, but 7.59 a month for a monthly service fee is too much. On top of that I no longer have any local ATMs that don't charge me to use it. Before the Walmart MoneyCard ATMs would accept my card free of charge, but that is no love true. I do not plan on using this card any longer unless it is an emergency and I need to load money on it to pay a bill. However I already got a new bank account for these specific reasons. Goodbye Green Dot.

I enjoy the easy load up and direct deposit and being able to check my balances whenever I want. It's better than having a bank account!!! I would refer this card to everyone I know because the benefits of having a Green Dot card is amazing.

I'm very happy with my card I haven't had any problems. Great customer service. Fees are great and I can get my check deposited onto my card. Wonderful. Easy to pay and go. Everyone is very helpful anytime I've had a question or problem and it always gets resolved.

I feel that Green Dot wasn't fair in the speed of dispute resolution. They didn't seem to believe me just because it was a PIN transaction. Somebody could've taken my card and guessed or even saw me enter my PIN.

I have never had any major issues with my account. The convenience of having it comes in handy at times. I like the fact that you can now go to Dollar Tree and pick-up a card and load there. Makes it more convenient. Also it helps that there are more places you can reload your card.

I'm not liking the $7.95 charge every month on top of the $4.95 load. I load my card sometimes 3 times a week. You use to waive monthly fees. I been with you for a good 10 years. I have found another card for only $2.95 load and monthly fees are free. I will try it out for 2 months if works good I will be dropping Green Dot. Getting greed is going to chase your good customers away. Thanks.

I had an unauthorized debit taken from my card and the Green Dot team was timely and swift at correcting the problem. The issue was corrected and my money returned to my card. Green Dot is always very helpful when I call.

Like the card very much. Never had a problem with it over. Thing that would make it better is that you get a text alert when you make a deposit on or use it at a store that will tell you your balance watch time. Thank you.

I love my Green Dot card and I use it faithfully and have been for some years now and I have had some issues with the card but they were always resolved. You even started giving us our funds early which I love but I have been getting emails regarding Green Dot payday loans but when I try to get a payday loan thru Green Dot it somehow never goes thru.

My experience with my Green Dot card is very satisfying. I have no major issues loading nor using my card. I use it on the daily. My direct deposit from my employee is loaded with no problems even the deposit by phone works well!

I think Green Dot has been the best bank I could sign up for! I love making transactions and paying bills with my prepaid Visa card! I use it to order the children pizza quick and easy and also for direct deposits for any job I sign onto because I know that I will get my money 2 days earlier than my coworkers!

Never received permanent card. Gave me no option to take large sum of money off temp card until new card was received. Told me temp card would be frozen if they sent the card I never received and would therefore freeze all the money I had on the card until the new one arrived.

Great experience, able to have direct deposit 2 days quicker than I get paid. No problems with using the card in stores or at Atm's. It is super easy to put money on the card and have several locations to do so. The card gets updated in a good amount of time and have never had any problems.

I have had very few instances where had any issues with Green Dot. I like how reliable it is and safe. The only thing that I do not like is taking away the reload by phone option. I also don't like the limited amount of times and dollar amount that can be reloaded. Other than that great company.
