Using the card has been okay. I'm a little dissatisfied that it doesn't work as a Amazon debit but will allow you to load an amount for gift card use. Also the fees are too high. I do like the cashback and I am excited about using it.

Wonderful. I have no problem with my bank. I enjoy this card and I have had no issues. I enjoy the app that comes with it. Being able to track and know where I spend my money. Being able to keep money away in the vault helps me keep track of my money.

Banking with Green Dot has been a simple, hassle-free way to bank. I get my checks early and card charges are very easily explained. Once you get the app it becomes even simpler to work with. The only negative thing would be withdrawal charges.

Not happy. I used to like this card but when y'all took my cash back and started me over to 100. I had almost 250 on it, now 100. This my last week with this card. Going to NetSpend. I can overdraft with them.

I don’t understand why I can’t use Venmo to transfer money into my account only out. It’s really convenient for me to use Venmo considering I get charged double at an atm. You take away money for using an atm while I already get charged for using the atm.

Normal day to day transactions work fine. Trying to use Green Dot for money transfers on apps like Venmo does not work. Trying to use Green Dot for apps for cash advance does not work. It's a great deal for normal things, not for everything a normal card can do.

I have had issues trying to use the card online to make payments quite often. The cash back rewards are great but if I could collect that cash back every 6 months instead of 12, that would be a game changer.

I earned over $250 dollars cash back in a matter of 6 or 7 months by using my card to pay for items in store and paying Bill's. I was aware I could only earn up to a certain amount. I believe it was capped at 200 or 250. I opened my app one day to check my account and saw that I now only have 100 dollars earned that I can redeem after my year is up. I would like to know why, I never went a full month with a 0 dollar balance. I always deposited cash or a direct deposit to stay in the clear of the terms for redeeming said cash back.

Hey everything has been going great with Green Dot. I love it. My only complaint and concern is, there is a company called Shoe Dazzle that charged my card 39.00 that I did not authorize. When this happened I had no way of contacting anyone to let them know or how to put in a claim concerning this matter via online banking. Please stop that company from charging my card. I never signed up for a subscription with them. I ordered show from them one time. I didn’t make an account just one purchase. Please contact me concerning this.

With new Banks like chime and other online cards like this that don't charge fees per month that's the only downfall. I haven't switched because I've always been a Green. Fan however if I keep getting charged $8 every time every month for not putting $1,000 on my card because I'm not rich I may have to switch. I think that's the only downfall is there's plenty of other cards out there that have direct deposit 2 days early that don't get charged $8 every time.

Honestly, I’m a Green Dot carrier, and I really have nothing bad to say about my experience, it’s fast and convenient.

And I will forever be a consistent member knowing I can always count and rely on my funds being in the right hands.

The card is great but the companies that offer reloading service, Family Dollar specifically, make it very difficult. If they have had multiple loads in one day, your card will decline a load. Supposedly this is fraud prevention but it makes it extremely difficult for those of us who need to load the card to be able to. Or it will only allow one load, when you need to load more than 500. It causes major inconveniences. Having to drive all over town to load the card costs way too much time and money.
Reviewed Jan. 14, 2020
Would be nice if you guys didn’t have so many fees, fee for reloading, fee for withdrawing, and monthly fee, and no atm deposit. Is kind of overwhelming to find a place to reload, also the daily or money sending limits. No good at all.

Hello Maria,

Due to the monthly servicing provided on our end and all of our wonderful perks within our debit card products we do assess a fee to maintain the account. We also provide great opportunities to have your monthly charge waived. Your opinion is valued and your voice has been heard, we hope this helped address any monthly charge concerns you had.

It's okay, it's convenient and makes it less stressful not having to worry about overdraft fees and things of that sort. It sucks that Green Dot isn't supported by apps like Zelle and Cash App though. Other than that it's nice having this option.

I have enjoyed using my Green Dot card, I use it for my direct deposit every payday as well as every day purchases, bill pay as well as online purchases. I have not had any problems when I use it. I have only had dispute a couple charges since having my card and they made it quick and easy for me to do so. I have recommended Green Dot to multiple friends and family members who have had no complaints after getting a card for them self.
So with that said I only have 1 complaint with my Green Dot experience, my 12 month cash back amount was $250 when I first activated my card and I used my card enough that within a few short months I had nearly hit the $250 mark. I was currently around $240 and I logged into my account one day and noticed my 12 month C.B. amount had been changed to a $100 limit, I contacted customer service about this and they reassured me that it would be changed back to my original amount of $250.
Well it has been months now since I was told it would be corrected and it still has not been fixed. I have not been able to get any answers on why it still has not been corrected. Only thing I have been told is that something happened that made it drop to the $100 limit but it would be fixed. No one can tell me when it will be.But like I said this would be my only complaint I have at this time with your service. Other than that I have enjoyed using my card. But if you can help me with my 1 and only issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and reading my review.

Other similar cards I've had, you were able to earn cash back rewards. It would be really nice to see you guys do this as well. Also, sometimes your system times out and I stash my money, that then makes my money unavailable to me. I WOULD like those bugs to be fixed. But satisfied overall.

To be perfectly honest I'm in love with this card, but one thing I dont like about the card is waiting a whole year to receive your cashback. I use my card so much. I'm at 100 dollars now and can't get the cashback. But that's my only downfall about the card, other than that I love it. Thanks.
Reviewed Jan. 14, 2020
My only complaint is really the cost of the account. It used to be that if you had direct deposit, the account was free. At some point, that was removed and now it's ten bucks a month. So, that's ten bucks a month, plus $5 anytime you need to load money onto your card or into your account, and that adds up. There's a cashback feature which kind of balances out the cost of the account, so that's some comfort, but the point of a cashback thing is to have more money at the end of it. Most everything else is great! There has been once or twice that I haven't been able to use this account for payment of some kind, but nine times out of 10 it's fabulous.

I have been a customer of Green Dot for a while now. I enjoy their services well and think it is an easy to use and setup style of banking. I haven't had any issues with my account, so no complaints there. I do have one concern. When I first joined, I used to be able to earn cashback rewards up to $250 annually. After a few changes by Green Dot, my account can only earn $100 annually. At the time of change, I wasn't maxed at $250 but did have at least $210 towards my cashback rewards. Now my mind wonders what happened to the other $100 or so that I had earned from my spendings.

It stayed that way for months. Then one day I go into my account and it drop down to like $100 or $150 on the bonus cashback rewards. I contacted Green Dot four times and no one could help me. I was told that the max reward was what's in my account now. Which is total BS because we all know I had a $250 reward sitting there for me for months and you took it away and for that I stopped recommending Your company and I'm considering switching to another online bank. You shouldn't make people promises and then take them away just because you feel like having a change of policy. That's how I feel about your company. I gave up and trying to get the bonus fixed because everybody seems to think it was always $100 or whatever and I know that's BS.

I am very pleased with Green Dot. I love the cashback tracker and especially the vault feature. The mobile app is very easy to use and I've had nothing but positive experiences using Green Dot in the year I have had it. There has never been a single issue for me except the $9.95 fee every month. I do feel that is too much. I will say that's the only negative thing about this card. Whoever is in charge of that should really consider decreasing that fee!! Also I would really like to know exactly when my 12 months is up so I can receive my cashback earnings. It has been stuck on 11 out of 12 months for quite some time now and I'm not sure why it is taking so long. I'm positive I have been using this card for over a year now. Thank you.

A prepaid debit card is a bank account, but if there is not much funds in there and it gets lost, nobody can do anything with it. So, I basically use my Green Dot for purchases online versus using my bank card online. Making purchases online went through well every time, and it is a little bit better than what PayPal does. I like its convenience.
Some of my bills have gotten to the point where they want to connect it to a specific account as far as paying one bill, and I can make sure there is enough in there to cover the phone bill when it is coming. I do not have to worry about having written a check against what was in there, and then all of a sudden, they shut me off because I had not paid them. My phone bill and my car insurance are what gets paid, besides taking care of my eBay account. The direct deposit options takes care of my phone bill and my car insurance comes out of my paycheck and gets put into that account. That way, I do not even see it.
One of the cash machines that I use every once in a while gets frustrated with me because it wants it to have a chip on it, and mine is old enough that it does not have it. I was kinda hoping to have a chip when I got the new card, but it did not. There has been one instance where they had to manually put it in. So, it was an inconvenience for the manager, but they got it through okay.

Green Dot banking was not helpful when I filed a dispute on transactions I did not make. I call every day to make sure I sent everything to prove I didn't make the transaction. I got no updates on the dispute. I was told I would receive an email which never happened. They just kept saying it's under review. No more no less. $778 was taken and I need answers. My dispute was denied. I tried calling because today to see why the dispute was denied. They did not answer from my phone number. So I use someone else phone to call they answer but still didn't give me an legit reason why my dispute was denied.

I've had this card for 3 months. My last two paychecks have been late and this paycheck I haven't even received. I got my paystub and should get paid the next day. Lies. It's going on 24 hours. There's no free atms and it's basically false advertising. You don't get paid early and when you contact them they can't even give you info on your dd so basically they are just a sham middleman making money off of you for nothing but the access to a ** system. And don't message me in private. Respond in public.

I reloaded money in the sum of $160 Friday. It never loaded. I have the receipt that says it was loaded. I call like 6 times a day and they say everyday call back the next day. They keep requesting documents then when I send them they act like I didn't. I finally got a few people that confirmed they got the documents though when I called back they tried to pretend I had not sent them again. That was my Christmas money. My issue is not resolved still and they stole my money. I have seen multiple others who have this same issue with them. Exercise caution in dealing with this company. Do not load anything you can't afford to lose.

Updated on 12/28/2019: So I was asked by a Green Dot rep to send the info regarding the can't verify your identity which when I called them to talk about this issue he had all my info right and didn't see anything in his system so he said that would hold me back from getting a regular card. Well my paycheck is still in limbo and hopefully I get it by next week lol. I think they should pay me being that I'm a single mom of 4 kids and scrapping change just to get to work. Now I've sent all proof he asked for and now no reply. They are AN JOKE.
Original review: So I work for Walmart. Got this card for 1$. Inside is account and routing number for DD. I set it up. After fully registering the card on their site provided won't let me log on the app. Have to view my account online keeps telling me. When I try to call that my card is not moving from temporary 'cause they can't verify my identity? Um you have walmart placing my PAYROLL checking in this ALSO CALLED BANK. I mean is walmart a fraud? Their name is on your product and sold in their store. So I email for help 'cause you can't reach a live person and I get seems to be automatic emails generic to say the least. My money should have been there already. Now who knows when I will get paid. I'm calling a lawyer. They are liars and fraudulent.

I saw Green Dot at the checkout and I like that it was free if you had the direct deposit. It works out good for me, and I like how they have that little bank thing. I can separate my finances in there. Overall, by not having as much in my pocket, I save money.

When I was working, my direct deposit would sometimes come a day or two before I got paid. Other times, my money would come in when it wants to. Since having the card, I've made online purchases once or twice and it was a good process.

My employer sends my direct deposits on time and even processed same-day ACH on Friday Dec 20th, it is now 1pm on Monday Dec 23rd and I have not received my direct deposit yet. Chat customer service is useless and sends the same robotic messages over and over. I do not trust this company and I do not recommend them especially if you need your direct deposits on time. Unless they can get their act together I will be switching to a new bank. I would appreciate it if a Green Dot representative that could actually assist me get back to me on this.

Having the card is easier than keeping the cash at home. Even my bills are linked with it, too. They get my direct deposit there. I don’t really have to do anything anymore. And I get paid early, so that’s nice. I get paid on a Wednesday normally, and I get it on a Tuesday early morning. Some direct deposits I get late, like 7 p.m. This one I get like 12 o’clock in the morning, so that’s nice. But I don’t like how they have to charge for every withdrawal when I want cash. There’s nowhere I can go that it gives me free cash withdrawal.
