    So not only did I have to pay $3 to load my card, but there was a $4 fee taken right away... When I called customer service, I was routed to a call center in the Philippines. When I asked to be transferred to a department in the USA, I was transferred to a supervisor in the Philippines. Said supervisor advised me that she was unable to "escalate" my call until I verified my card number with her. OK first of all, the reason I requested to be transferred to an American rep is because I do not feel comfortable sharing my financial information with someone outside the US... Unacceptable. Needless to say I will be removing my money from the card and getting rid of it.

    I have been using this card with no issues for 4 years. I have been unable to use my own money since 12/7/18. This company told me that the IRS had frozen my account to verify my identity & needed my driver's license emailed. I called the IRS yesterday. They stated, "Call your bank. They lied to you & are holding your funds illegally. This is true but they know they have your money so you can do NOTHING!" I waited on hold yesterday for over an hour to talk to this "supervisor" Grace. She tells me to call the IRS & I said, "No! The hell I am." They said they NEVER flagged me for anything. This bank will hold your money hostage! Oh and I'm supposed to wait 7-10 business days for my account to be released to boot. My rent has not been paid & I am getting daily fees added. Don't give this bank your money - they are liars & thieves!

    I have been happy with my card up until recently. I must say I have been so disappointed beyond belief about how unhelpful they have been in a time I most needed it. I used my card to purchase gas at an Arco gas station, unfortunately due to an error with the station pump system, they were unable to sell me gas but for some reason. The system authorized all my available funds and I was left with a $0 balance. The gas station attendant advised that the funds should be voided and released within 24 hrs.

    I immediately called the bank and told them and literally begged them to allow me a little money to be able to buy gas at another gas station. They credited me $25 and advised the rest will be available within 24 hrs. This did not sit well with me as I was out of money and no gas due to no fault of mine. I tried to reason with their customer service department and explained that I am a rideshare driver and they took all my money and cannot work without fuel. I lost 2 days of work and unable to pay my water bill which was due. So as I write this today, it's day 3 and still no money and I was just told to wait till the 11th which is ridiculous.

    I am not asking for a freebie here, just for my money to be released. If it was them, they don't hesitate taking their money but I have to plead and beg for what is mine. No one was willing to help me or go above the call. I am unable to pay my bills, unable to work and forced to wait and they call themselves a food company. I am taking this up with my local consumer affairs, news station, Congress. I thought that someone would have some compassion during this holiday season and help but no, they just don't care. I don't know how to get through to anyone. Let's see if anyone bothers to do the right thing.

    I'm now heading into my third year of using Walmart MoneyCard. Leaving behind my old bank was the best choice I ever made. I live paycheck-to-paycheck and there were many times when I couldn't keep the minimum $15 balance that was required by my bank. (You know... The one where they would charge you ANOTHER $15 for not having $15 to begin with.) Walmart MoneyCard has no minimum balance, no overdraft fees, a free vault that acts like its own savings account, and cash-back savings at the end of every year. This past year, I not only earned $20 in cash-back, but I also won $30 from the Prize Savings lottery! I never win ANYTHING, so you can imagine my shock when I signed in and found an extra $30 in my account from "Prize Savings". I was really happy. :) I love this card and have no plans to ever use another one.

    I have had nothing but horrible service from their call center in the Philippines. Why must companies sacrifice quality for profit. No one will help me because if a phone number on my account that should not be there cannot be verified. I have had an account for over 2 years and the phone number is older than that I guess. Well I have changed numbers several times and do not recall the one on the account. I am trying to access my online account to change it and I do not recall my password. So I have requested a code sent to my email. For a week nothing has been sent. I have used every browser and all my devices still nothing.

    These people will not think outside the box or have a workaround for my situation. The only solution was for me to cancel my card take the money off my card put it on a new card and open a new account which is the longest and stupidest way to do something.

    I am sick and tired of these people not understanding what the situation is and I'm tired of them, "I apologize, I can't do this. I apologize, I can't do that. I apologize, I can't transfer your supervisor because you can't verify your account" but yet I can't verify my account with everything except a silly phone number which really in the scheme of things is nothing so I'm maybe green. Will get a hold of me and actually do something about the situation I'm at and maybe get off their butts and get off get out of the Philippines and get back to United States where the money should be spent. Shame on you green. For outsourcing your service to a terrible terrible terrible horrible place to do business. Oh and to make matters worse I used to run call centers and working clothes centers and I know how to train people. I know what takes so I know really what we supposed to wait until about and they're not doing their job.

    On 11/30 Walmart Money Card/Green Dot closed my account with over $3000 in it. They said they first blocked then closed it because they could not verify my identity even though I sent them a copy of my valid passport. Now they are making it impossible for me to reach anyone to find out how to get my $3000. There are countless complaints like mine of them stealing customers money and Walmart is turning a blind eye. I have emailed top executives at Walmart with no response. Look it up. This happened a couple of years ago and now they are doing it again. Green Dot is preying on hardworking lower income people who don’t have the means to fight back. This is a travesty and Walmart is equally at fault because they put their name on the card and promote it. Shame on Walmart and Green Dot.

    I got the card because I wanted something to route my deposits from time to time. Suddenly after a year of having the card I am hit with restrictions and customer care who have hung up on me multiple time, and given me no help. Now I cannot withdraw MY OWN MONEY because of a sudden change of policy. I asked when was this change made and why wasn't I inform- their response was "it was a policy update" leaving me unable to pay my rent in full- like what the eff?!?!

    11/29/2018 I was charged twice for using the ATM once and was told they would NOT reimburse me. I was given a refund back from a error in a Amazon order, I saw the pending addition to my account. I called to ask if possible to know when the amount would return to my card and suddenly it's gone and the man who I spoke to today basically told me, "You authorized the transaction so it's gone." I have been losing money and opportunities with this card as of recent. I would not recommend this card to a soul and I am truly upset.

    I had a frog kit fraud case on my Walmart money card. I won the fraud case. They said they would be issue me a full refund. Be a check VIA mail 2 weeks. I waited the two weeks. Send me a piece of paper saying that they put the refund on my locked card that they locked from the fraud and I wasn't able to use it so then I called them. They said they would. They couldn't transfer the money onto my new Walmart money card so they'd send me another check two weeks. While I waited 2 weeks that did not show up. Got another letter stating that they deposited on my locked card again so then I called back and they said it would be another two weeks. While I waited 2 weeks and still nothing. Still nothing. Still nothing in.

    Mind you this was filed in August 13th of this year. It is now December. I am laid off of work. I really need this money. They pretty much stolen it for me.

    I have had this card for a few years and no problems that a phone call and a clear explanation of the situation and why it happened and I am sorry for your inconvenience didn't suffice. The problems began the first of November 2018. I had 4 transactions fraudulent charged to my card all in Anaheim California. The first 3 times the money was put back on within a hour - the 3 one I called in and the transaction was pending and the lady says it will be put back on your card. I am thinking because she knew it was fraudulent the money showed up a hour or so later. I asked the person should I have my card replace and she I can do so. I felt and I experience this that I should get a waiver on the FedEx charge to have my charge in 3 days since they have detected fraudulent charges - no new card.

    Yesterday while I was out shopping in Granite City, Illinois at Walmart and St. Louis, Mo another fraudulent transaction took the remaining balance of my card in Anaheim California. I called this morning and spoke to someone who kept telling me, "We can not dispute this authorized transaction until it post." That I do not understand. Isn't it best to report and investigate early and it was not an authorized transaction; but tell me who will they investigate. The information provided for the merchant is the same sort of nonsense random letters as the first 3 (the latest stated: Hkcymdir eghvj, no address, no telephone number and Anaheim California 92801.) I ask to speak to a manager. She said they will call me. I had to call back 4 hours later extremely un-composed and mad.

    I finally talked to someone who finally goes back to see at least 2 transactions and the money put back. So my argument was if it was pending and my money was put back on my card why can't it happen this time. No real explanation but she says I have to wait until December 11 to dispute the transaction because I can't dispute it now. And when I do dispute it, it will take up to 10 business days to investigate it. But what are you investigating. There is nothing to trace back to - I spent an hour totally upset with the person and more so because there was no empathy in her voice. Her tone never changed until I started frustrating her with my talk and it was horrible. And I admitted it to her and I apologize to her but told her it wasn't personal but the customer service was horrible.

    I would like to think a business that I frequently used would have more concern about fraud on a customer and showing some empathy to the situation. And then talk clearly so I could understand the process of the situation and that is what I needed most to explain to me how the system works. And it looks as if it wasn't to my advantage. This is clearly fraud so now I have to go and take the rest of my money I have in stash (which I just read about and loved this. I don't have to travel to my credit union to go into my savings). But then I have to call back once again to cancel the card and pay to have it FedEx to me which I feel since it's fraud it should be given a reverse charge.

    But I clearly am upset that the balance of my money is gone and I have to wait 2-3 weeks to even see the outcome which it clearly looks like fraud. Is this not a secure card on a secure site. It is the holiday sense, I understand perfect for scams and fraud but I believed my MoneyCard to be secure and that the person I spoke with had some empathy for their customers.

Well my stay did not go as planned so I was approved a refund on the 22nd on Thanksgiving so the hotel manager told me because of the holiday I would receive my money three to five business days. Well I never receive my money. I been calling Walmart. We are in December and they still have not put my money back. Every time I call customer service they give me the runaround and they still have not put my money back.

    I loaded that card with my own cash, the hotel manager said that they been released my money but Walmart MoneyCard refused to fund me my money back, I been waiting for two weeks and this is my money. After I finally get my money back I will never use or purchase a Walmart prepaid MoneyCard ever again. They hold your money for no apparent reason.

    My experience with Walmart MoneyCard has overall been a good experience, my favorite part of the card is the ability to stash money, and the prize savings! The greatest thing happen to me once I won the Prize saving. It was $25 but to me it was the coolest thing a free $25. I also love being paid 2 days early!

    I've had the worst experience with the Wal-Mart Money Card! I thought I lost my card, I had to cancel Walmart MoneyCard customer service and told me that they can send me a replacement card in 3 days for $15.00. I called customer 2 days later and asked if, I can purchase a new money card so I can transfer my funds to the new money card. I was told "No, that I had to wait 7 business days for my new card to arrive". I said "7 business days?" "I was told by the customer service rep, 2 days ago that I would have my card in 3 business days". The rep told me that "with the money card I have they cannot have my card expedited in 3 business days?"

    I have no money because all of the money I had is on my card! I will not be able to pay rent on time, buy food, pay all of my other bills that are due, before I get my new Walmart money card. This isn't a card for me, not anymore! I've been a customer with the Wal-Mart Money Card for over 6 years. How dare you keep everything I have until I get a replacement card?! Why doesn't the Wal-Mart Money Card have an easier way to get me my money card to me quicker? Wouldn't it be wonderful if I or anyone else, be able to pick up a new card at any Wal-Mart store.

    They have deactivated my entire account because my card that is not even 4 months old is bad already. Which I don't understand because it is always kept in my wallet. They are sending me a free replacement but that will take 5 to 7 business days, before I receive it. Today is Wednesday! EVERY dime I have is in this "So called" account. My entire paycheck goes in it every week. So until I get my replacement card and activate it all my automatic payments will be declined, which will cost me $37.50 and $50, I have no gas to get to work, I have a premature baby who has a very important Dr. appointment in the morning for his life threatening seizures and I can't get there, I can't buy food and I have NO WAY to access my money that I work very hard for!

    How could your customer service rep (CSR) be so careless not to mention this? Instead she tells me the only way I will have access to MY money is to order a new card, which is a LIE because later it was brought to my attention I could have sent my money to another person with a simple text or email or even sent a MoneyGram. Not one time did the CSR mention this and also not one time did the CSR mention my entire account would be deactivated. All the CSR can say is how sorry she is and there's nothing they can do. But do you think they are going to pay my late fees, my declined payment fees, or the fee I'm going to have for the doctor for not showing up tomorrow? Of course they're not paying any of that! I'm paying all of that on top of not having any access to all of the money that I have to my name. And all you can say is you're sorry? I'm sorry too, I'm sorry I ever chose to close my bank account and get a stupid Walmart MoneyCard!

    I can promise you that the exact moment I have access to my money, every single dime will be pulled out and I will never deal with Walmart or Walmart MoneyCard again! I will not even shop at the store! Because your apology doesn't pay my fees, it doesn't get the baby to the doctor, it doesn't take me to work, and it sure in the hell doesn't make up for what you have done! So on the website where it says have access to your money blah, blah, blah- it's all a lie, and your company is a big joke! And the only reason I gave a one-star review is because it required it otherwise you would have gotten a big fat zero from me!

    I decided to try the MoneyCard again after having an issue prior in 2016 for unauthorized payment and I was told I did auth when I had not. So they let the co get paid by the insurance co and then again by me. So now I get a new card to give MoneyCard a second chance and I use the card 1 time, upload my DL to prove my identity after the new card is blocked then have a woman say my DL wasn't approved and my card/account is closed and I can't use my card. How is My DL not sufficient to prove my identity and I was told there is no recourse for this as the account is already closed. I would think my DL is sufficient and if not that I would be contacted for further info. First time shame on them, second time trusting them shame on me. Never again... been burned twice.

    I made a return to Costco for a purchase of $1,200 and Walmart said without the original sales receipt that was no longer available. The funds will remain locked and will not be available. I told them that the original sales receipt is no longer available and that Costco had the record on their computer and had no problem issuing refund and there should be no reason why the funds would not be available nor why Walmart would require original sales receipt from another merchant anyhow.

    Now in an emergency situation. $1,200 of my money is not available. Use extreme caution when dealing with Walmart MoneyCard!!! I waited on hold for a supervisor for over an hour and none was ever available. I was told one would call me back. Two days later I still have not received a phone call from the supervisor. The last three times I called customer service they hung up on me. What they're doing cannot possibly be legal. Holding funds from another merchant for return purchase and not allowing me to have my money.

It popped up a message to call the number on the back of the card. So I did. The first rude ** I talked to said there was nothing he could do, although I verified everything that is on file. He hung up on me. So I called back and spoke to someone who was nicer, but told me the same thing. She told me to go online because they couldn’t update my phone number for “my security.” I was like, "Why in the hell does it tell me to call the number on the back of the card then." She had no answer for me.

    So I verified my account, but they can’t update my phone number so that I can access the app? Makes no damn sense at all. At the end of the call, she had the nerve to ask me to take their survey. I was like, "Ma’am, I don’t think you want me doing that???" So long story short, they do absolutely nothing and I am now locked out of my app because I had the “nerve” to change my phone number and they apparently can’t update it. I am switching immediately.

I was hung up on, called back and put on hold for another 20 minutes Just to find out there is no manager available but 1 will call me back in four hours. I’m so upset it’s been 14 days!

    I never had a problem with this card in the year + that I have had it, the few times I did call customer service it was a absolute waste but I was able to figure it out on my own until this week when I made the mistake of depositing my paycheck using their own deposit service. On the website it says that it could take 1-5 business days, it also states that payroll checks are deposited “quickly”. Well imagine my surprise when on the 17 the day the check was deposited that it would be available on the 27th! I waited till Monday (11/19/2018) to call and sure enough I got the most unhelpful, rude, man who could barely speak English.

    After not being satisfied with his answer I demanded to speak to a supervisor, at which point he told me it would be 24 hours, I relented, that turned to 4 hours and I refused to hang up so he finally did transfer me to a supervisor and lo and behold, they can barely speak English and well, also unhelpful and rude. This card is great unless you need to speak to customer service at which point it’s totally useless. I will be switching to an actual bank with actual English speaking customer service reps, I shouldn’t have to call INDIA for help!

    My dads cable bill was wrong and I knew I had paid it. So I checked my card balance online and saw where the payment had been taken from account. So if I dont have my money and Comcast doesnt have the money, where did my money go. Green Dot needs at least 20 days to investigate how they lost my money. In the meantime I have paid this cable bill 2 times.

    Updated review: Dec. 6, 2018

    Someone did reach out to me and correct the issue and I still use my Walmart money card for my direct deposit and everyday purchases

    Original Review: Nov. 16, 2018

    I lost my card so I ordered a new one. I asked for expedited shipping so the man said he had to transfer me to a specialist for that. Wait her 30 minute hold for the specialist and she comes on the line and tells me it’s going to be 3 dollars. I said. "No, I want to do the expedited shipping." She says ok and still ships my card, starts where I will have to go 7-10 business days without any money. Why would they lie.

    First and foremost if I could give this rating a lower than 1 star I would. Secondly... Why is there no one from USA able to help me. Customer service apparently can’t me or vice versa. I purchased a Walmart money card on October 15, 2018 and it couldn’t be registers because I was trying to put it in my son’s name. I wasn’t aware you had to be 18 so customer wouldn’t allow me to do anything with the card and was offered to file a refund. I was told by the rep that it would be in my mailbox within 10 business days. It never arrived. So I called customer service back and apparently no one could find anything about a refund. So I was highly upset and demanded to talk to someone above the rep and she refused to put someone better on the phone. Was told I needed a receipt and to email a receipt and it would be investigated.

    I was told I would get a call within 72 hours and the status of my refund. Lo and behold I NEVER got the callback. So I tried calling back to talk to someone else. Got the runaround again. This time I kept demanding to speak to someone else. Once I was forwarded to another rep they told me I would have to be issued another refund since the first one didn’t arrive. What does it take to get my money back from this God awful company? I am pissed off to the next level with one simple refund.

    I have to say customer service is the worst I have ever experience. Representatives are rude and do not listen to your questions. Also, explain to me why I have to get a new card number when old card is damaged. It's not lost or stolen. It's damaged. My 2nd card was damaged as well. I should be able to pay for a replacement with same card number when I have a damaged card.

    I received an email at 6:00 am this morning stating my Walmart Moneycard was turned off due to unusual activity. The email directed me to Document Upload site but when I entered my card number into the site, I was given the error message "We were not able to find the card with the information provided. Please try again.". The automated support line was not helpful at all and directed me back to the document upload site. Walmart customer service was also unable to help me. I have no way of accessing the funds on my card and it seems nearly impossible to get in touch with an actual human that can help resolve my issue.

    My husband lost his card, called to have another sent. He was told it would take 7 days. When he goes to look at the account it is blocked. The account has over $8000 dollars in it. Can’t contact a live person when you go on the site it ask for the card number which he doesn’t have hence lost card. He works out of state, can’t pay for his room, buy food, or gas. If the account is blocked how can a direct deposit go to the account? This is a horrible card.

    Customer service bot isn’t a resolution when a person's livelihood is at stake. Then he gets an email to upload ID but he doesn’t have a card with a number so he can’t upload his ID. Then email said after he gets the new card it and uploads his ID, it will still take 2 days to review. Green Dot has made losing a card a huge hardship. I’ve used NetSpend for years never had an issue even lost my card called and they switched my funds to my other card. When this mess is straightened out Green Dot will be losing a customer. I would never recommend this card to anyone. It’s just totally ridiculous. Now my husband is sleeping in his truck until next payday. While Green Dot holds onto $8000 dollars.

    I have used Walmart MoneyCard for years! It has been my primary bank for as long as I can remember. I always used this card because of how fast I can get my direct deposits and when it’s tax season when my money is released from the government. It’s on there next day. The card is great if you never have issues. I had to file a dispute on a charge I didn’t make in October. My dispute was filed on October 28th. By October 31st, Walmart MoneyCard refunded the charges and then immediately turned right back around and took the money out of my account. They told me that the merchant agreed to pay the money back and that it was now just basically waiting a few days for my refund.

    Well here we are 8 days later. Still $0 back into my account. I call again to see what’s going on. They tell me that it’s going to take up to 45 days because they’re waiting for a response from the merchant and they also never received the dispute form I sent out over a week ago. This is ridiculous. As soon as they give me my money back. Well IF they’re even going to give my money back. I’m done using this card. You can’t get a straight answer from anyone. Every time you call someone has a different response. It’s just pathetic that they don’t care about the people who use these cards for years with no issues and the moment they have an issue Walmart MoneyCard doesn’t even want to help. They just want to keep bouncing you back and forth.

    Just had my Direct deposit done to this card. Was hoping to have a good relationship. But after reading these review they are just as bad as the credit union. I just left. Reviewed what this card offered. No overdraft fee. It really sounded good, but tell me how this offer is going to happen if my federal funds never make it to my account. It now seem to me withholding a direct deposit is a clear violation of interstate commerce and should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission. It sad to read about all the bad complains and nothing is being done or lack off.

    People depend on Companies to do the right thing, but a lack of effort does not replace the rules and regulations set by law. Companies violating and profiting from low to middle income customers or any person using this card should be investigated and fined if they acted contrary to Interstate commerce laws. Just by looking and reading and my own experience, This company is not acting in good faith in applying regulations protecting customer accounts and information. These are very serious allegations and should not be ignore.

    So I’ve lived in Florida my entire life, and yesterday night at 10:40 pm someone in Hicksville, NY used my debit card to make a $272 purchase at Walgreens. How that’s even possible is beyond me. So obviously with 5 minutes I called Walmart money card customer service to report the card stolen. First they said I can’t dispute the transaction until it posts. I said, "Okay - Well is there any way I can get my card expedited to me?" "No." Mind you I’m a single mother with of a 2 year old with no family or help - my rent is due on the 1st and by the time I get the card which I literally keep ALL my money on because it’s FDIC since it’s with Green Dot and I figured it’s better than carrying cash where I live, and they said no.

    So I then ask them how long is it going to take for me to receive it and my funds be replaced because clearly this wasn’t me at all - they said 10 business days to receive my card and another 10 business days to get my money back. $271 is A LOT to a young lady like me who lives responsibly on a monthly budget- so all in all 20 business days for something I clearly didn’t do? Okay. So I sucked it up even though the holidays are LITERALLY right around the corner & said well At least I can keep checking to make sure that no one is taking any more money online and I’ll just get an extension on bills since I literally have zero access to my money at all - mind you I’m so frugal I still have income tax money sitting on there and all!

    Then I turn around this morning to call them back again to make sure that nothing else is missing on top of my 20 days wait. They’re telling me that I have to send in a picture ID once I get the card and wait another 5 business days before I can use the card? Why didn’t you guys tell me this Last night? 25 days is literally almost a month for a process that’s as simple as common sense if the card was slide at 10:40 pm in New York and I’m literally calling you at 10:43 from a landline in Florida. THE SAME NUMBER ON THE ACCOUNT BY THE WAY. HOW COULD IT HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN ME?

    So basically all the hackers have to do is send in a photo id online before I get my new card and according to them they’ll unblock my old card. The same card I just reported stolen! I live a responsible life, I work for my money, I don’t even get any government assistance - and to have this happen literally right before the holidays is insane. They’re telling me I can’t even use the routing and account number to pay any of my bills because there’s a block on it. You guys need to get a better system if you’re going to be handling so many consumers' money - and some way to get in contact with someone in the United States! I’ve had this card for 4 years! Yeah I’ve had some issues with the fees but I pay them with no hesitation for the convenience. I’ve had the same direct deposits all four years! Like this is ridiculous.

Ex changed account settings and I had to change phone numbers so they won't talk to me now. They hang up on me - tell me to wait 10 days. I need to update phone number with them and my wife changed the account settings so I can't log in or file a police report because I'm blocked out of the evidence. This is crazy! I need to talk to a Walmart rep now!

    I received the Walmart MoneyCard from my tax preparer a few days ago after proving my identity to the IRS. Yes, it took me almost a year to receive my refund just to have my Walmart money card blocked and I even sent them a front and back copy of my driver's license. They sent me an email stating that they couldn't approve my documentation and I can never apply for another account with them. I haven't been able to speak with a live agent, every time I phoned the customer service line I receive the same message then it hangs up on me. I have been crying ever since then because I can't get anyone to assist me, not even the employees at my local Walmart store. This saddens me due to the fact that I have exhausted every effort to reach someone.

    If someone can please assist me or give me some feedback as to why a and how can I have access to get my money returned to me. I have a regular bank account and would love to transfer to that account but I received an email stating it can't be transferred to a regular checking account. I'm praying that Walmart will assist me with this urgent matter but I have no other way to contact them because soon as I enter my information the automated system states that message and disconnects my call. Walmart has to do better with customer service and providing answers to their customers. Holding on to customers money without even asking for at least SS card number, security questions, or some aspect of identifying consumers. My contact information is: email: **... if someone can please contact me regarding this matter it would be greatly appreciated.

    If you want a prepaid card don't get this one. These people are thieves. My card is blocked and has been for over a month. They said to email a picture of my license. My license has my married name on it now but they still can't unblock the card because of that. I sent a pic of my old license with my maiden and the new one but they say they still can't unblock it so there is no way for me to get my money. That's how they are keeping it and charging fees every month. These people are thieves. Please do get this card.

    The MoneyCard straight the direct deposit sucks. I have my direct deposit setup. My company went to deposit my check for Friday and it never showed up. I called customer service up and basically I got nowhere. I even told them that wasn't call the police and the BB and report them and the supervisor he did not care. He just kept repeating himself. So that for the direct deposit department sucks. I would not recommend anybody get their paycheck direct deposit on this card.

    I reported that my card was chewed up by my dog and paid for express shipping, which I was charged an extra $18. $15 for the shipping and $3 for the new card. I then get an email stating my card was blocked for any use and I have to upload an ID for “security” purposes. When I asked for the unusual activity, the “supervisor” couldn’t tell me. The unusual activity was from Green Dot Bank removing a fee for the express shipping.

    I was told you guys could not unblock my card, but yet you have my money. I never reported a stolen card, so there should be no block. Any other banking would be able to give me a legit reason as to why. I am 6 months pregnant with 0 access to MY money because everyone claims to be a supervisor that gives no empathy nor take any accountability for what they’ve done. As fast as you blocked my card, you can unblock it. I have to give my SSN to even get through, so this makes 0 sense. I am looking into a lawyer because I feel like you’re basically stealing my money.

    I have been using Walmart MoneyCard for a few years. The only thing I like about it is the fact I get my paycheck a few days earlier than actual payday. I have had several issues with this service! The first occurrence was my account along with many other people’s accounts being inactive in May of 2016, I just delivered my second child and got paid that same day, we went to get food and things for our newborn baby & I was not able to use my card or access any money for almost 1 week. I was told “I’m sorry” and “there is nothing we can do.”

    On many other occurrences my account has been “hacked” and money taken off of my card, the money had been refunded to me, but was told I could not retrieve any money off my card in any way until I got a new card in the mail, each time (4 times) taking 7-10 days. With 7 children and being a sole provider for them, this was a disaster!! Again this month, I was hacked and hundreds of dollars were taken from my card, I’ve called the number on the back of my card and have not been able to get into contact with anyone!! So now out several hundred dollars, I cannot take the remaining money off of my card, because I get declined at EVERY ATM I’ve tried to use!

    I have asked about canceling the card in the past and have been told that if I cancel it before my money is returned to my account there is no way to receive the stolen money! When I signed up for this card the packaging stated I would not have ANY FEES TO LOAD MONEY OR RETRIEVE MONEY IF USED AT WALMART MONEY CENTERS - I am charged $4 every time I need to access MY money or ADD money to this card! This is not a secure card AT ALL! And the customer service people are not friendly whatsoever! Never have been helpful and are very argumentative!

    I've been using my card for several years now and have never had a problem using it until 2 months ago. For about a year, I've been paying my rent with my card. However, 2 months ago the transaction was denied & again this month. I've had to get money orders and mail my rent because of this. I'm in a manual wheelchair in a town with no bus service, so paying my bills with my card is essential to me. My landlord, Community Housing of Maine, told me that a lot of tenants all over the state have experienced the same problem. Why was I able to pay my rent with my card before, but am unable to since September? When I called Customer Service, all I get is pigeon talk that's difficult to understand & am told to ask the merchant. Well, the merchant is my landlord, & they want my payment using my Walmart debit card. The problem is not my landlord, it is You!

    If this problem is not rectified, I will be forced to use another company's debit card & will probably just direct deposit both of my Social Security payments to the new card & stop using your card. (I use your card all of the time!!!) Oh, and please stop having your obviously Asian employees at Customer Service use fake English/American names. It's annoying. And they need to practice speaking more clearly. It's very hard to hear and understand them.

    I hope this problem will be resolved satisfactorily so that I won't have the headache of obtaining another debit card & transferring all of my direct deposits to it. I'll have to travel almost 40 miles to the nearest Social Security office to do this, which means $7.00 and a long ride on a bus shuttle there and back. I imagine that's what everyone using your card for their rent will be forced to do. Would be fantastic if you revert to how things were when I was able to pay my rent with my card!!! I'm a loyal Wal-Mart shopper (& have been for several decades) & spend over $200 there every month as I buy all my groceries there as well as household staples, clothes, electronics, pet supplies, gifts, etc.

Still nothing and now I'm told my card is going to remain blocked until the review is done. I can't access my online acct. I can't activate my card or nothing. I filed non-authorizations on my acct and the rep did not tell me that my card and everything else would be blocked. The rep from this morning tells me if my direct deposit hits while my card is blocked it will be sent back to the issuer.

    My rent is about to be due. If the rent is paid because my card is blocked Walmart ain't gonna step up and my rent. There's nobody I can speak to but the supervisor himself gave me the online information along with my case # and told me to submit it. I submitted my info twice. Walmart ain't gonna pay for my water bill, light bill or nothing and my landlord most definitely ain't gonna wanna hear my card was blocked. I'm going to get evicted with 5 kids and our car is currently in the shop so because of Walmart MoneyCard me and my 5 kids will be outside in the cold. For a big company Walmart has a very poor way of handling business especially when blocking your acct without knowledge.

    A few weeks ago I went to HEB to buy food for my family and was completely surprised when my card was denied. I was in shock and tried again because I knew I had money available; it declined again. Embarrassed, I get out of the line to check my account and there was a charge to an auto part store for over $100.00 that I did not charge. Immediately, I called Walmart MoneyCard and they closed the card and stated that they would send another. About a week later, I received a card in the mail.

    Upon activating, it instructed me to send in an ID for verification (in which I did) the next day so was told that my account has been blocked, I can not use my card and I will no longer be able to get direct deposits sent. I have been a LOYAL CUSTOMER for over 6 YEARS. When I called to resolve the issue no one was helpful. Asked to speak to a supervisor, nothing was done. Was told that someone would give me a call and no one has. I will be contacting the corporate office to WALMART soon as well as the Better Business Bureau because this is ridiculous.

When I call to complain I was told that I had to wait until the transactions were no longer pending and then I can file a fraud claim. Once I filed my fraud claim, I was then told I had to send an information and that from the time they receive said information it would take 7 to 10 business days in order for them to finish their search. Then depending on what they determined then it will take another 10 to 15 business days in order for me to get my money back.

    I had my card blocked on 9/23/18 over a return and after being on hold for 45 minutes I was able to talk to a representative who fixed the issue and removed the block then and there. Now two weeks later my card is blocked again over another return. After 1.5 hours on hold between representatives and supervisors I was informed that they could not remove the block without copies of the original purchase. I send the copies of the return receipt, original receipt, and a letter from the business verifying the purchases.

    So after waiting the 2 days they said it would take they say they only received the letter. so now I had to send them the receipts in separate emails. Now they push me back two more days to review the documents. After waiting the 2 days I call and they say the status is pending and my money is safe and I will get a notification when the block is removed. Sorry if my trust is very little with this company as if they will actually release my funds and actually notify me when they will after reading all the horror stories on here. The customer service is hard to understand, and the waits are terrible. They rarely give you anything that is helpful toward resolving the issue. All they say is that they are sorry for the inconvenience and sorry for the wait and that they are unable to do anything at this moment.

    If you don't need to use your card for awhile they claim your account is dormant and they take your money??? I called a couple weeks ago and they said I had money still on my card but I have to fill out forms and send it in to get my money back. I just called them back and now they say my account has $0 in it??? This card is a SCAM!!!

    This card is great until you encounter issues. Unlike a bank there is no physical location and no way to get to a manager quickly. If You encounter any kind of issue with your money and ask to talk with someone in management, the customer service agent will tell you that they have to put in a request and allow two days to hear back. This is unacceptable when it comes to your money, at a bank you can get your issues resolved immediately. Some issues I have incurred with this card took 5 days to resolve, can you imagine waiting five days for your funds to be released and not being able to speak to someone who knows half of what they are talking about. I have waited on hold to speak with a customer service agent for up to an hour and a half. This card is a no go!!

    My account was hacked about a month ago. I did dispute it and they shut down my card. Whoever hacked my account even changed the email address I originally provided, so I had no way to access it online at all. Received a notice that they finish the review and funded my account the money. Why would you refund the money to a closed down account?? I called customer service, but I cannot get through because my social security number and date of birth aren't registering. Well apparently there is no way to speak to anyone w/out it matching up. What kind of unhelpful ** is that?? Still can't access the money that was stolen and refunded and there is no way to speak to anyone. The letter I received doesn't even have a number to call.

    This has been a complete nightmare. I had a transaction deducted from my account on 9/20/18. I filed a disputed as instructed and the representative told me it would take 10 business day to resolve the dispute. I called on the 11th business day and received another date of 45 days to resolve the issue. At that point I closed the account. Today I found out the company sent the money back I went to log into the prepaid account and there it was just sitting there since the 8th October. I call the customer service line and they stated the only way to receive my money is for them to send it by mail in a check form which will take another 10 days. At that point will be well over a month from the time I filed the dispute.

    Please, please do yourself a favor and run AWAY from this company. They are not here to help or protect the customer as a regular bank typically has dispute resolved in half the time frame than what Walmart MoneyCard lies to you about. There are many banks you can go through if you need a debit cards with no credit, first time banking or bad credit. Wells Fargo Opportunity Checking is one of them. At this point I’m going the legal route in order for me to receive my money because I don’t believe a word they say. And all of their representatives are from overseas and it is hard to understand them and they really don’t care about your issues. COMPLETE TOTAL NIGHTMARE!!!

    Updated on 10/16/2018: I gave Walmart Money Card/Green Dot the opportunity to respond to my request and as you can see from my two previous post not one response was made from them. I also filed multiple complaints on other sites including theirs. As well as a written complaint the FDIC which sent a response letting me know my complaint has been forwarded onto Federal Reserve of Governors. Do yourself a favor if you have done your part with attempts on getting this resolve by phone. Please don't wait for long periods of time before going the legal route. 90% of the attorneys will assist you with your Consumer Fraud Claim and charge the company for legal fees and damages.

    Original Review: Oct. 13, 2018

    I've used Walmart MoneyCard since 2013-ish. I have my social security direct deposited to the account. From there I use the free bill pay service that come with the card/account to pay bills. It has only been swiped at a check out terminal perhaps once in the past 3 years. A few days ago I logged into my account to use bill pay to pay a credit card bill and noticed 6 charges totaling almost $700. I immediately called up the customer service number listed on the card. I got a person whose accent was so thick I had to keep asking them to repeat themselves, and the noise in that call center was unreal. I reported these disputed charges to the lady on the line. She seemed clueless as to how to handle the situation.

    At one point I actually had to ask, "shouldn't you like cancel the card or account or something to keep any more funds from being removed?" To which she actually responded, "I don't know." She could not really tell me anything. They will open an investigation and I will hear something in 10 business days. As to when or if I would get my money credited back, she had no idea. Why did not someone notice the change in activity on the card? For years only bill pay service had been used, then all of a sudden it is being used in stores in New Jersey when I live in Tennessee. (Btw the card is still in my possession - so it was cloned at some point, but when? It hasn't been swiped.) I am not a happy customer at this point. I would like to know when to expect my money to be returned. I am willing to cooperate in any way I can to get this resolved quickly.

This morning I got no deposit and upon placing a call to the automated line I discover my direct deposit is under review and I can’t get any additional details from an agent.

    I have been with this card over 10 years and never had a problem with the direct deposit being deposited a day early than my original payday. Well today I was curious as to why it didn’t post after all this time. I was instructed by the automated system to check with my employer first. Everything was great and done the same as always and sent as usual no differences. I call the customer service for Walmart MoneyCard and was told that they are having a direct deposit delay and the engineers are working to resolve this and sorry for the inconvenience.

    So... What about the return fees from my creditors or bills that I have auto drafted from my account? Is there any compensation for this? Still response is “at this time we have no more information”. So I’m just not suppose to get my pay because you have no back up plan when your direct deposit is down? And I’m told to just keep checking the site and app! This is the worst and it sucks! I don’t have the luxury of waiting on my funds cause I have plenty more saved up!

    I have three accounts with the Walmart MoneyCards, personal, pets and bills. The sign in requires email verification... this requires an email code being sent, often this feature does not work, SMS messages have NEVER been received (T-MOBILE). Customer service is nonexistent. The cards are very low quality (thin) difficult to read and break quickly. I have a Bluebird account that is used to provide money for a family member, for several years that has work without issue. I am canceling ALL my Walmart Cards and changing over to Bluebird.

    I have had this card almost 2 years. The pros of the card is you get direct deposit faster, if you don't have the money in your account then the charge won't go thru which helps me budget, and also the fact that I kind have a savings account where I can stash and un-stash money without having a charge. The cons of the card is that it is not accepted every where for payments or car rentals, that sometimes I have had errors sending and receiving money to someone else who has a walmart money card and also that there is sometimes a limit on how many times you can stash and unstash money.

    Updated on 04/15/2019: Months back I had $500 of fraudulent charges on my card at Trader Joe's and Sam's Club in San Diego California. Problem is, I live in Colorado and do not travel to that sorry excuse for a state. Well Walmart did reimburse me the money that was charged to my card. Well fast forward to 4/1/2019. I am sitting at my desk at work and I receive a text message about my card being used in Duluth GA at a store call ADK Town LLC. I have never been to Georgia and have no plans on going. I have not received any update on my dispute and was told it is still under investigation. If Walmart and Green Dot Bank have issues with ensuring customers do not have to worry that this will not happen maybe the partnership should be dissolved. I have contacted the FBI about this situation and was promised that it will be looked into.

    Original review: I have had a Walmart MoneyCard for a few years. This has not been a very pleasant experience for me. First a little over 2 years ago my card was cancelled due to it being erroneously expired by the company. I still had one year to go before the card expired. I had to wait for a new card and had to pay late fees on other bills I used the card for. Second most recently (9-21-18) I had charges totaling over $400.00 in California and Alabama. Keep in mind I live in Colorado. I have never been to Alabama and have not set foot in California since 1991. In my transaction history it shows I was in Colorado at the time of these fraudulent transactions. I purchased a coffee from McDonald's on the days these FT's occurred.

    When you call in your dispute you can hardly understand the Support Personnel because their English is horrible. I have yet to find out if I will receive any of my money back. Advice to you. Go to your nearest bank and open an account. At least there you can deal directly with one person in trying to figure it out. I do not believe that I will be getting any of my hard earned money back.

Not as easy to load, but still a great deal. 3rd; direct deposit. Money right there, on time, every time. 4th; the Vault feature. I LOVE being able to LOCK up my money.

    So having the card is great, until I tried to pay a utility. My water went through right away but I tried to pay my FPL bill and at first went through on my FPL account but not my card account. I kept checking and checking the balance every day and it still didn't take out after 3 days. I had plenty in my account to pay this bill. This morning I check my FPL account and the payment has been returned with a 30$ fee added on for return payment. It said once I have the funds make a payment again. I have over $700 on my card so I know the money is there. I hope it doesn't happen again because then I will be charged $60 on my FPL bill plus my actual balance. The cards been great beside this experience and I don't have the money to keep having these charges because Green Dot bank wants to reject the payment.

I've called several times to try to resolve it but I hear the same explanation which doesn't make sense. I sent a photo of my ID to the email they gave me. They said it would take 5 days.

I called and asked why I didn't receive text alerts telling me my card was being used. The rep said, "Someone dropped the ball." Yeah, you think? They are making me wait weeks to get my money back. They tell me I can't speak to the investigation team working on my dispute. I have sent them all the documentation from the four retailers where the unauthorized transactions were made. I've done all their work for them, and they still won't give me back my money. My house payment is going to bounce, as is my car tags all because someone used my card and spent my money.
