    Hi, I have been trying to get answers for a month now but no one I talk to can explain to me what exactly is a funding reversal/payment reversal is and why it continues to happen on my card, and where the money is going that is being reversed... It started with my payment to Credit One which was reversed without me being notified, which resulted in my account being closed, now it has happened with at least one other credit card payment to a different company that I am aware of, and to top it all off I have transactions that I know I’ve made but can’t locate them within my Green Dot account, and Green Dot can’t tell me why.

    I have screenshots of a chat with Green Dot showing them saying one thing and then saying the total opposite of what they just told me like for instance first said no transactions was made on the date in question... then saying there was but could not tell me how to access them, then saying I didn’t have a funding reversal on my account, then telling me what a funding reversal from the date in question meant... I deposited $400+ just in July but no records showing it or even where the money has gone. I want answers now. This nightmare has caused me to lose credit accounts, have my credit score drop super fast/low and now after working so hard to get my score to where it needed to be in order to buy a new house with a mortgage company, I can’t get a new home for my family and no one can give me the answers I need or tell me where my money even went ‘cause they been reversed. I can’t hire a lawyer due to no funds so what do I do now.

    Green Dot's customer service line could be better. You can only call if you lost your card and if they have a variety of selections when we make the call, that would better. I started using Green Dot when I was having problems with my bank account and I've been with them for two years now. My experience has been fine. And I did get my annual cashback. Also, it's easy paying my bills and making online purchases using the card.

    I opened an account this morning for their savings account then found out they charge monthly fees for a prepaid debit card I wasn't even planning on using. I have been trying to close the account for the past few hours and have found nowhere for this to be done. I then opened up a chat with a support representative and was told they cannot close the account without the card number. Considering I have not even received the card yet they were "unable to help me". This is the biggest scam I've ever seen. No wonder their stock price is plummeting. How hard does it need to be to close an account?

    They have deactivated my card without telling me! This happened when I asked for a replacement card since my current card was getting ready to expire. I was NEVER told that they were going to turn my card off!! It's been over a week and no card in the mail. I have been calling you daily and begging them to turn on the card I have now so I can access my direct deposit, pay rent, buy food, get gas, pay for medicine, etc.

    I have been a customer for over eight years. There is over $1,700 a week that goes into this card. They refused to re-activate my card while the replacement card is being sent. It has been over a week and I have no access to my money. I have been calling you every day. I have been lied to before that a card has been sent - you will not give me a tracking number. I have called every week in July asking for a replacement card, I am told it has been sent, it never arrives. I call every day about this. I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY MONEY, YOU TURNED OFF MY CARD, I NEVER RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT ONE THAT YOU SAID YOU SENT!

    I’ve had my card for over 8 years. In May of this year I received a student loan refund check. I noticed my funds were lower than it should be, so I went to my statement online and found unauthorized transactions. In fact, I hardly use the card. Needless to say, there were 12 transactions from PlayStation that were not authorized. I don’t even own a PlayStation in my home!! Immediately I contact both organizations to report and make a claim. PlayStation informed me that there was no way to find out who made the transactions but they made a report and provided the claim number. They also informed me Green Dot will have to refund the money. I made 3 claims all denied. Every time I make a new claim, I have to waste more time listing the transactions and spend more money for mailing!

    Absolutely insane when they have a list of transactions already in front of the Representative at the computer screen. Here it is July 30 and I’m still out of $318 and no one seems concerned. I have autoimmune issues, waiting for my disability approval and my student loans are my only source of income for my son and I. In addition, I was told my card will be deactivated in May, it has NOT! I’m also still being charged monthly fees!! It amazes me how your money can be stolen in seconds but green dot is slow walking with replacing my GOVERNMENT FUNDS!! I NEED MY MONEY BACK ASAP!

    I'm so angry. My card expired this month (July) and didn't receive my card 2 weeks before it expired. Called them again, was told the new one would be sent out and the expedited fee was waived. Ok cool. I was supposed to receive the card on July 26th. I call FedEx and they have nothing for me and no label made. Had to get another one sent to me that day. Now this will be my 3rd card trying to be sent to me. This is absolutely ridiculous. I've never had this kind of issue in the 4 years I've had this card. I'm on disability and get paid once a month. Customer service lied to me telling me that I could use my bank and routing info to pay my bills, which I tried to do but won't work. I'm considering taking all of my money out of this account and go with another company. I'm so dang angry right now. Have money in my account and no way to use it????

    They sent me a new card and I cannot activate it. Their systems keeps saying, They have a Technical problem or you have tried too many time. On automation systems, I put all info in and it just tells me when I put my phone number in to try again. Collect my correct information. On customer service calls (if you ever figure it out how to get them) they don't know what to do. They have $170.00 of my money and they can't figure out what to do except tell me to go online. I've been told all my information is correct. So round and round we go with no end to solving the problem. Wouldn't let me set up an online account and won't activate the card. But my account is open and active. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE- I hope you don't read this too late.

    I purchased this card for my daughter with her Bday money. She requested a card to make online purchases. After 2 hours of attempting to register this card at home, I decided to take it back to the store I purchased it from and return it. After another hour and a half at the store and finally talking to someone on the phone, with no help from the card company, the store agreed to authorize a return. But, it wasn't until speaking with someone and getting nowhere with them.

    Green Dot cards are a sham, and just work to take people's money. My issue with not being able to register the card, address not valid. Then talking with someone, they stated I needed Firefox, or something like it. I used my phone, we used my daughters phone, and used two computers and it still wouldn't work. I had to use an old address, which allowed me to finish the registration process, and a red screen came up stating the card was not able to be activated.

    Talking with a customer service rep, and requesting to speak to a manager, was useless. Nothing but the run around for all aspects of trying to register this card, and I was only able to talk to a rep, after going to the store and the store using an in house number where they provide employee information. If you are looking for a prepaid card, stay far far away from Green Dot. And I am sure all there positive reviews are from people they paid to write a review. Sincerely disgruntled, angry parent, who doesn't like when people take advantage of other people!

In later case (JPay.com) advised me not to try anymore and instead to contact my bank. Which I did on two occasions, and both times the rep. have failed to resolve the issue.

    Green Dot is nice because it helps people who can't get bank accounts, have a card for paying bills. I also like how easy it is to send money to friends and how it has the vault feature which functions similar to having a savings account. However many services don't accept pre paid visas and many services don't have you listed as a eligible bank. Also when I get a direct deposit it takes a long time to show up on my card even though its advertisement says you get paid early from direct deposits. It shouldn't take so long to process. Another thing that is hard is that it's difficult to report a transaction that is fraudulent. Filling out a form online does not give you the same feeling of safety as talking to a live person about the problem. Thank you.

    It does not truly allow you to get paid 2 days earlier as stated. The once a month charge is unnecessary to me. It's more efficient to have a regular legit bank account. When I need to contact customer service I could never understand the foreign representative. Plan to close account with the month.

    Green Dot hands down has been my favorite card I have ever owned. There's no maintenance/hidden fees if you use your card regularly which is great, saves you $5-$10 a month. Easy to transfer money to people thru email or phone. Also, transfer money from your checkings to your savings (and vice versa) in seconds. My all time favorite feature has to be the cash back rewards! Would HIGHLY recommend getting a Green Dot card!

    The hotel we stayed at a week ago placed a hold for $50 on my card as a deposit to be refunded at checkout. They did not CHARGE my card - only placed a hold and it was released when we checked out and Green Dot confirmed it was indeed released. So please explain to me why almost 10 days after my money has been released by the hotel has Green Dot not released my money back to my card??? And don't dare try to call their customer service to get answers. Not only can you barely understand them but they repeat the same thing over and over and refuse to let you speak to a supervisor but they lack serious customer service skills.

    The tactics they use border on thievery. I had a transaction I did not recognize authorizing a wire transaction outside the country. The wire transfer company promptly investigated and deemed it theft. My Green Dot experience was a nightmare. My first run in with incompetence was when I called to report the transaction. The man said he would have a new card sent out immediately and I would have access to my account in 3 days, but I had to cancel the current card first so I approved it. 3 days no card. Called back and was told by another incompetent employee that the first had not expedited it so would be closer to 10 days. I told him I could not go 10 days without it and he suggested buying ANOTHER card, linking it to the account and using it temporarily until the new card came in.

    Bought one the next day and I ended up using the last of the money in my pocket for the require minimum uploading fee to activate it. Called back to link it and was told it is not possible to do it. NOT POSSIBLE. Talked to supervisor and got the same answer. Called today and was told it isn't even in the mail yet!!! (day 6). Was told today it is still in the manufacturing phase and the plan I have will not allow me any access to my funds during this process, and oh yeah, now they just added 4 more days so instead of next Tues it will be at least next Fri before I get my card. I have explained I am a single mother of 4 and CAN'T feed my kids AIR for a week but the very, very best they can do, according to today's manager, is contact corporate in which case I might hear back from them in 2 business days. Today is Fri so that means at least 4 more days without access IF corporate desires to do something. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

And the supervisor tells me there is no block on the card for suspected fraud. Then she told me to use other ATMs. I told her i have used 4 already. After 4 it's not going to work the.

If not going to make a police report on Greendot. Email: ** Thank you.

    Original review: I have been a long time customer with GREEN DOT. But recently I lost my card and had to get another card. The new card has been giving me so many problems, as to using the card: 1. The card will swipe. Says use chip (Card does not have a chip). Because of that problem I sent for another card. The problem now is that I can't activate the brand new card on my computer. Error message: "The information that you are entering does not match an account on file." Then I tried to activate the card through the automated system: "The information you are entering is invalid." I called customer service - they said I have to wait 2 business days. 2 business days is up. Someone called me saying I have to wait another 24 hours. My direct deposit goes to this card.

    Well, where to start, you take out monthly fees, even though I literally have no money in my account so I end up in the negative. I'm literally trying to stay afloat and keep it out of the negative because I'm pregnant, and I use my card when it's needed. And if I don't use it, y'all take the money either way. So either way I can't save up for my daughter. I'm 6 months pregnant. And I can't even see a doctor because I'm being declined on Medicaid, and then my card keeps getting deeper into the negatives. I'm honestly about to just go to a local bank and say screw Green Dot. My local bank I've been talking to, told me they don't pull money from your account without your approval. So yeah.

    I had called them a few months ago asking why I could not make a mobile deposit of a check. They stated that I had to have the account open for two months to deposit checks and then I could deposit checks. I waited the two months. Tried to deposit a check with mobile deposit. They denied the deposit stating that I should contact the issuer and have another check issued. That led me to believe that a large American and well known company was having problems. I called them; it took a few days. I found out that there was nothing wrong with the corporate check made out to me.

    I contacted Green Dot Customer Service. They gave me the run around stating that the issuer should send me a new check. I informed them that the check was verified as good and that they needed to tell me why they would not deposit the check into my account. They said that I had to have a direct deposit set up first before they would cash a check. Absolute abuse. Then I found out that their lousy customer service is in the Philippines!

I already have to pay a fee from the atm its self, so technically if I ever want cash its costs me $5 and I don't think that's fair.

    Green Dot has been great for me. Except the withdraw limit of one thousand. And the charge for calling for my balance. And charge to put money on it should be lower then a ATM charge. Also I never get text updates on deposits or transactions.

    Even though Green Dot Bank is FDIC certified and is an official bank, a lot of online direct deposit services are not accepted because they still have GreenDot as prepaid. And such reasoning even if the card has the funding available payment cannot be made due to anti-prepaid policies.

    My card no longer works at any store. It doesn't work at 50% of atms, but it *does* work at some atms and it *always* works online which means it isn't broken. It seems as if you are just purposefully shutting off my card when I use it at stores in order to prevent me from racking up cash back (which has suspiciously stopped exactly at $250). Do I have to wait 6 months in order to use this card at a store again? Like I seriously don't even want the cash back, I just want a ** card that works at any store.

It would be more convenient to not have to wait a full 12 months to get my rewards because by then I could have earned 3 times that. With as much as I use and value my Green Dot card and service, it would be nice to be able to get my cashback rewards after I hit the maximum, otherwise any cashback earnings I could be making the majority 8 to 9 months of the year just become null and void. It is a little disappointing because I work very hard and I use my card wisely on certain things specifically for cashback rewards. I feel that I should be able to earn and receive cashback rewards as long as I am still having large weekly direct deposits and actively using my card. Thank you sincerely for your time and concern!

    They are unfair. I can't go over the amount over the amount on my card but you will take out more than I have and put me in the negative. The charges seem high considering I rarely use atm's and never contact customer service.

    The 9.95 a month fee is too much to pay for a card. Chime doesn't charge anyone a monthly fee and still offers cashback. If the fee isn't reduced we should at least get 200 cashback instead of 100 cashback at the end of the year otherwise we as customers are losing more money than it's worth when another company does everything Green Dot does for completely free.

    I like the Green Dot card, I really like the vault (ability to stash all or part of your cash balance on card that cannot be deducted). The main thing I don't like is the inability to reach a living talking human being, and your answers/links cannot handle everything. Such as last year, I was going to donate $25.00 to a political campaign, about ten minutes later I checked my balance and found somehow it had registered $250.00 instead, and it said it was still pending. It said it was still pending the next morning also.It's possible I could have mistakenly clicked the zero.

    However, I tried every way I knew and could think of to reach someone to correct this while it was still pending, even the next day. No luck, finally gave up, really really wanted to cut the card up and never get another, but hated to because everything else was good. Besides, in this part of the country, Green Dot and Walmart are the only ones I know of, but if some other cards come along, you may have to hire someone to answer the phone. Otherwise, all in all, I'm pretty much pleased.

    My experience with Green Dot has been ok. The monthly charge is exceptionally higher than Net Spend. I am new to green dot and look forward to learning more about this institution. I also need to change my mailing address so I could use some information on how to go about doing that. Also how can I get a second card without having to pay for one.

    I don’t like that there are no phone options if there is an issue. It makes it hard if you do have an urgent issue, then you have to write a letter. Especially in regards to being charged fees by Green Dot.

    I've find it's easy to use. I use mine mostly of online shopping. It quick fast and easy. Haven't had any problems using it on the shopping sites that I shop on. Even the couple of refunds were back on card within a decent amount of time.

    I am so Happy with Green Dot. I have been with you for years and have never had a complaint. The only issue that I have is that you have a limit on your account. I have had many times where I need to put more than $2500.00 Direct deposited and I had to make other arrangements. But I worked around it. But Green Dot has been just perfect for my needs. Thanks.

    Need to lower the monthly deposit amount as to avoid monthly card fees. If it was not for the fee I would keep some more money on instead pulling out all cash I have on the card. But otherwise I like that the card is accepted everywhere.

    Good card... But I haven't got a new one with the same account and plus I know I'm close to my 1yr and I still haven't received my $100 yet... Do away with these extra charges to withdrawal money off the card... And also it's not on time with the two day pay because I get pay on Thursdays instead of Wednesday.

    Send notifications and warning notifications when money is going to be taken out of account. I have them on a never receive them. Also, add the microchip. It’s annoying when some stores swipe actually doesn’t work. And make reloading easier I don’t want to take the extra step of going into a store just to load money!

    I feel the card is nice. I don't feel fees should be charged to refill card if you have to pay a monthly fee though. It is easy to use and handy for bills. I would like to see it cheaper though paying a monthly fee and paying to reload gets expensive.

    I feel that while I’m receiving paychecks on there y’all should waived. The monthly fees I don’t like at all. It should be free long as you receive a paycheck. And the fact that you have to pay to refill it over.

    I never ordered checks (that mysteriously arrived and cost me $13), and removing the PayPal feature from the send money options for the recipient has diminished the value of having this overpriced account. I am reconsidering doing business with Green Dot. The competition has so many more perks and a customer service phone number that I should never need (but I sure need Green Dot customer service)... Guess I will have to write and not talk to a rep and hope for resolution in the dark for who knows how long.

    Enjoy using this card. I like how you get cash back after each year of keeping your account in good standing. It would be nice if they could increase the daily withdrawal limit for the card. Other than that I am a happy customer.
