    I assisted a friend living presently in transit from Nursing Home to a Assisted Living to purchase a Walmart Pre Paid Visa Debit with her name on it. When card was sent to old address it was returned. Since then it has been blocked and she is advised to send copy of gov’t Driver’s License or Passport to "possible unblock, after 4 day review". This Senior Lady has been in wheelchair since birth, her only form of Gov’t ID would be Medicaid card that she is unable and scared to send through the mail or have me (her caregiver and someone she gave verbal permission to Customer Service to allow for arrangements and contacts) so she was very disappointed when the card was blocked and she was told that they weren't even sure if her State Medicaid ID would suffice even if she did agree to send it.

    So they refuse to refund her balance (over $500) and keep repeating we need Driver’s License or Passport. Today I waited 45 minutes for customer service and after talking to a csr asking to remove the block so she can use it or refund her money they basically told me they were not able to do anything without receiving one of those 2 forms of ID. So she is feeling scammed and humiliated. When I asked what happens to the money they didn't answer. I am absolutely appalled - this is not a credit card but a debit card that is being charged a monthly fee without her control. I would advise anyone not to ever purchase a Walmart Money Card as if you ever have a customer service problem you will spend hours trying to get any help.

    Customer service is a nightmare because they can barely understand the English language or a complete sentence. You cannot link this account to PayPal or any other bank account because they don’t show micro deposits that come from the company you’re trying to link it to. They charge 95 cents per check and force you to wait over 7 days to receive your money or you can instantly get your money paying a 6 dollar fee. They use Certegy and deny check deposits from family members (who had their checkbook stolen a long time ago because it’s too risky for them...yet most banks just put the money on hold until it’s available. THEY FLAT OUT DENY YOUR ABILITY TO CASH IT). I also find it odd that online banking is still charging for check deposits when they sent out an email during the last week of December stating it will be free once it’s back (went down for maintenance on the 9th and was not available again until TODAY 10 days later).

    They flat out lied to their customer here... Isn't banking about trust? If I lied to you and you caught me would you trust me to manage your money? I think not. Please don’t waste your time here because you’re making the MAN richer daily while they take advantage of CHEAP OUTSOURCED LABOR in the Philippines and they could honestly care less about your wellbeing (most work for several dollars a day...for less than $15 and food). Also don’t be fooled by the reviews listed below. While they may be real customers the reviews are flat out lies. Paid reviews by customers who will likely never use the card again. Like I said guys STAY AWAY. Use a real bank or cash and kick this company to the curb... Trump will eventually cut the loopholes and when they do this company will be one of the first to go.

    At first I loved my card but now I am pissed. I went to pump gas at a pump and they didn't have the gas. I hung the pump back up and 75.00 was taken out my account. After calling customer service begging and pleading them to release the hold they wouldn't do it. They are telling me I have to wait until the 25th for a pending transaction to clear when I clearly didn't pump any gas. I'm getting rid of this card tomorrow. I can't afford to lose 75.00 for nothing. I'm sticking with American Express because this happened with them and they released the hold the same day. This card is **. It doesn't even deserve one star.

    VERY UNHAPPY. I have been dealing with the Walmart MoneyCard for about two weeks now. I filed a claim cause my card was stolen. Filled out the dispute form and spoke to a representative. The Rep stated it will take 7 Business to determine my claim. I said ok. I called on the 7th business day to see what is going on. A new rep then said it will take 10 business days. I told them that I was told 7, the recording when you call says 7. They stated that is a old recording. I asked if it is a old recording why would the rep I file the claim with say the same thing. I asked for a manager to call me back.

    I waited all day on the 8th day. No call back from a manager so I called myself. Got the same runaround. I was irritated and hung up. Called again on the 9th day asking why I still have not gotten a call and I would like to know the status of my claim. The rep couldnt give me an answer so I asked to speak to a rep in the states at corp office. I spoke to the rep, he told me that my claim has been granted and I should see the fund in 1 to 2 business days. I was pleased.

    I called on the 10th business day (1st business day to have fund return) cause I just wanted confirmation due to all the previous dialogue I have been through. The female rep said yes it should be resolved. She see the notes. I was like ok I will wait till tomorrow then. Now it is Friday the 11th business day and 2nd business day for refund. I called and was getting the run again so I asked to speak to someone at the corporate office. I was transferred to man that said I should see funds at the end of the day but the latest Monday so just keep checking. I was satisfied.

    I called Sunday night just to feel better about the situation come to find out now MY CLAIM IS DENIED!!! I was mad after being told 3 times they differ. The rep was being rude so I hung up and called in the morning. Got the runaround over and over and was told a manager will give me a call... Well what do you know. NO CALL yet again so I call myself again and I was told I needed more information such a receipt to dispute the claim... HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO GET YOU A RECEIPT ON A CLAIM WHERE SOMEONE WITHDRAWN MY MONEY!?! I ask to speak to US Rep. Spoke to a woman. Very nice explain to hear all that had happen

    She then told me to file the claim again, I did that very day. I called to check if the doc were received and the girl proceeded to tell me I would need to wait till the 30th. I told her about the recording and she said that is error 10 business is the procedure not 7. So now I am mad cause I originally filed this claim Dec 29th and it is still not back to me. Well I have attached two emails from Walmart MoneyCard stating again 7 DAYS!!! I just want my money back and then will prob leave the company!! Not happy with customer service teams at all. There is a lot more to this story but there isnt room and I have added a lot already.

    Just as several other people have expressed, my account with Walmart MoneyCard/Green Dot Bank was hacked and my account cleaned out. I noticed the pending unauthorized charges on 1/3/2018, I called the bank immediately. The customer service person basically stated there was nothing she could do after explaining to her that I did not make any purchases in the UK... Her suggestion was to see if the charges posted the next business day. Well they did and cleaned my account out. Called the bank again and was told to file a dispute on the unauthorized multiple charges, I did on 1/4/2018. I also contacted the merchants concerning the unauthorized use of my account. They informed me that their fraud departments had suspected and stopped the attempt to use my account info per their protocol. No money was even passed to the merchants from my account but yet on my end the charges are still posted as cleared and funds gone.

    15 days later my funds still have not been put back in my account by Walmart/Green Dot. Not only that but I have emailed the Transaction/dispute department numerous times with no response, I have called numerous times to only hear the same old blah blah. This is my money, I need it to pay bills, I have explained this to Walmart many times, they simply do not care. My suggestion is... Do not use their bank services.

    I have enjoyed my card for 2 years. My paycheck is deposited on my card and this helps me to stay out of trouble with my bank. Only issue is for almost a year I've been getting paid 2 days early and recently it has been going back and forth between 1 day early and 2 days early which messes up the automatic payments I have set up. Otherwise it's a great alternative.

    Hi Faith,

    Thank you for sharing your concerns on Consumer Affairs. Great feedback!

    We understand you have concerns about early direct deposit. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

    Please be advised, we post deposits on the day we receive the notification from your benefits or employer. Benefit providers and employers send deposit notifications at various times of the day and on different days each pay period. If you login to your account and set up the direct deposit account alert, we'll automatically notify you any time a direct deposit is received.

    Furthermore, not all direct deposits qualify to be applied to your account early due to provisions that are based on the information your employer provided.

    We hope this information was helpful!

They say due to suspicious behavior, again I have to do this ID verification, I have submitted it 3 times and it says accepted then it says accepted or valid and then it says not valid. I tried to call and the customer service number 877-937-4098 doesn't let you speak to a representative!!! I'm supposed to be getting paid tomorrow and I won't be able to access money!

    I have been a card member with Walmart MoneyCard for 6 years. Never had any issues with my direct deposit until now. I usually get my direct deposit 2 days early by 3 p.m. mountain time. Today I have not received my direct deposit and I have three bills that are past due. I'm giving you this review which I'm not the type of person to give bad reviews but your customer service was not helpful at all and tried to tell me how I need to manage my account. I have managed my account and I check it every day and no direct deposit. I'm infuriated and very upset.

    I've used the Walmart MoneyCard for years and was happy up until I had a reason to call customer support. I had $1600 stolen from the MoneyCard by someone in a different state and a city that I had never visited. I understand that fraudulent activity must be verified but the "service" from an apparent overseas call center was beyond ridiculous. First have people who are fluent in the language they are supposed to be speaking. Their poor grammar plus the thick accent made them hard to understand and conveying anything back was a real task. On top of the language barrier the representative never offered any true help. They simply kept repeating the same unhelpful lines over and over. They made it painfully aware of how little they cared and that it wasn't their money.

    On top of the horrible call center there appeared to be no way to get an actual human on the phone until after a maze of automated voice options. When you have had most of your money stolen this system made everything worse. I know that my little bit of business means very little in the scheme of things and this "system" really accentuated that point.

    I opened my Wal-Mart acct in Oct. 2017. I use it to receive my direct deposit. I never received my personalized card. In Dec 2017 I asked to be sent a personalized card. They shut down my temporary card which I don't understand since it wasn't lost or stolen. My new card was mailed Dec 26. By Jan 5 I had not received the card. I called customer service and was assured it was at the local post office. I asked if they had a tracking number. Answer was no. Well how do you know it's at the post office without a tracking number. I was told to go get a new Wal-Mart card as my direct deposit had hit and I needed money for bills. They made a one time courtesy transfer for part of my money to the new card. I was told my card would be to me by Jan 8. Now I have 2 acct. Jan 10 I still had no card.

    I talked with a supervisor. Well they said they were a supervisor and was asked to send a new card to a different address as we have already sent 2 to the current address. I asked why they couldn't overnight me a card. I would pay for it or send one with tracking numbers. Answer: "No we can't do that." I was told I could pay bills using my routing number and acct number. So I proceeded to pay bills using this method. I had a merchant who needed to verify my acct, so they sent 2 small deposits less than a dollar to the acct. I called everyday for 3 days cause they never were posted and always received the same answer. It will get posted. Today Jan 14, I called cause I noticed bills I paid weren't coming out of my acct. That's when I was told my acct was blocked for address change. I never changed my address. Just changed where the card was being mailed to cause that's what the supervisor told me to do. I am pissed off at this point.

    I was given an email address to send a copy of my ID so they can verify my Identity. Was told it could take up to 48 hours. I told them they have 24 or I am getting my lawyer involved. This acct was blocked Jan 11. I have called them everyday and was never told about the block. Everyone just kept saying everything was fine with paying bills out the acct. No one knows what they are doing. I have been lied to over and over again. I now have bills that will bounce cause I followed their instruction and my acct was blocked. Are they going to pay my lights, water, and cable when it gets shut off? Are they going to feed my kids? It's against the law to deny access to my own money. I put my money and trust into these people.

    Had been with Walmart for many years and then on Dec 3, 2016, I had a fraudulent charge which having googled the day and location found it from Germany on World Hackers Day. Never understood how they got my card number nor how someone from Germany could use my card. Lesson I learned is if you ever have a need to cancel your card, remove all your funds first. If you ever use the card, load only the transaction amount. There needs to be more federal regulations on prepaid cards.

    Finally after 17 days I have received all of my money back plus the charge of my new cards & a refund of all my monthly fees! I am very satisfied.

    Original Review: Jan. 14, 2018

    I've had my Walmart MoneyCard for 3 years and never experienced a problem. Til January 7th when I received a text stating a purchase was made for 5.50 &145.83 in Charlotte North Carolina. Mind you I'm in Owensboro KY. As soon as that happened my husband rushes to nearest ATM and withdraws the rest of our money. We call the places of where the purchases were made and inform the manager my card was used & it's fraud. Of course he couldn't help but did confirm an in store purchase was made with a card number matching mines. Without much help from them my husband called the police in Charlotte. We made a report over the phone and was told we would be contacted.

    My husband contacts the customer service from Walmart MoneyCard and starts the dispute case and has our cards canceled. After that phone call I email the dispute form, our id's, both of our cards which are in our possession, police report & all the screenshots of the texts and information from our Walmart MoneyCard app. We're reassured as long we turn everything in promptly we would have our money back in 7 days.

    Well it's a week today and we have called every day only to get told lies after lies. Now we have to wait till the 22nd to get an email about their decision if we will or will not get our money back. One person even told us the merchant is responsible so get your Money from them. Or we will get our money back if Walmart MoneyCard gets their money first. Wtf. It's our money that was stolen! We're a family of 6 with our 4 month old having open heart surgery in November. My husband is our sole provider and works for us and we trusted Walmart/Green Dot to at least stand behind their product.

    We have stayed in contact with police in Charlotte and he don't understand why Walmart/Green Dot still investigating when it's clearly blatant fraud and should refund our money. They are doing their best in locating the person or persons doing the frauds. Can someone please contact us with a resolution. I'm tired of getting someone who only reads from a screen who can't help us. I'm seriously not going to recommend this card to anyone. Anyone can steal your money and nobody cares!!!

    I was scammed by an online purchase of some Ugg boots that I was purchasing for my daughter for Christmas. The company took a little over $90 out of my account on November 24, 2017... it is now January 11, 2018 and I NEVER received the boots. I found out that the company was not legit by trying to go back onto the website that I initially purchased the boots from but a message came up stating that the site was shut down due to fraudulent activity. I filed a dispute with Walmart Moneycard and they denied my dispute.

    How on God's green earth do you guys feel it is ok for these scammers to take and keep my money?!! If this was a REAL bank... my claim would not have been denied. Not only did this fraudulent company take my money... they took more than what the cost stated on their site AND my daughter did not get the boots she wanted so much for Christmas. I think it is CRAZY that Walmart denied my claim. That company should not be able to keep my money as I received nothing and their intent was never to send me anything. I even provided documentation validating that the company is fraudulent. VERY disappointed in your practices!!!

    I had previously disputed a charge on my Walmart card. Green Dot Bank's customer service has decided to un-authorize my card and issue a new one. This would not have been an issue if they had contacted me before they completed this transaction. However, since you can't talk to a HUMAN and only a computer what do you expect. There have been to many times this so called Bank has made decisions without proper authorizations from the cardholders.

    So here I sit, money from my payroll check on my card, no card to use to access my account due to their decisions, power, cable, car insurance, gas, groceries and husband's medications, that he has to have by the way I can't take care of, Customer service sent me an email stating, "You can pay what you owe using the account number and routing number." Don't know what state they are from but from North Carolina without a check or card you ain't paying anything. I have been a customer of Walmart Money Card/Green Dot Bank for years! Not anymore, as soon as I get my card I am through with this company and I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General's office. There have been too many times this bank has screwed with people and their money.

    Great card, switched to this after some banking issues. Recently I've noticed that I've been getting money in my account on Thursday instead of Wednesday with the 2 day early pay feature your card offers. My job pays their employees on Friday. This has been going on for at least 7 pay periods now. Just seemed strange to only get paid a day early. Otherwise this is a nice easy to use card!

I then had you send me a new card well you blocked the new card I was given. And want me to submit a Copy of my ID or drivers licence that I also don't have because it was also stolen. So while you're withholding my social security and won't let me talk to anyone. I will be filing a lawsuit against you for stealing money and not having an option to speak with a real person...

    I want to start by saying this is the first time that I have taken the time to give a bad review. I don't like giving bad reviews because things happen but this is way too much. Over a month ago I called and cancelled my Wal-Mart MoneyCard because I misplaced it. They cancelled it quickly and sent me a new one. I thought everything was great until I tried activate the card, I was told that it was a block on my card and I had to upload my ID to Wal-Mart Money document upload. I uploaded my driver's license FIVE TIMES!!!

    Each time I waited two days or more and called, my card was still blocked. Once I spoke to customer service rep they kept telling me the same thing that my documents were not legible. I have been going through this for a month!!! They will not take the block off nor will they send my money that's still on the card. I asked them to just send my money in the form of a check to the address they have on file. They will not. They keep telling me my documents are not legible which is BULL!!! Out of FIVE submissions EVERYONE is not legible? I don't think so, I followed their directions and nothing.

    Wal-Mart is a ripoff!!! PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS WAL-MART MONEY CARD... Just take your time and find the right institution to use when it comes to your money. This company is no different from their founding father. He put other places out business many years ago by sneaking into their stores and lowering his prices lower just to take their customers. Same stuff different year... They bait you in and once you're in and something happens Wal-mart does not care that you are without your money. Their corporation is making money. I am really fed up. Wal-mart does not and they are not trying to resolve this.

    Somehow a scammer got a hold of my card number on New Year's Eve, and after being denied for 6 transactions at various places they finally were successful in emptying my ENTIRE account in a place called Vacaville, California. I live on the opposite side of the county and have never been to California, nor have I ever bought ANYTHING from a source in another state, AND I've been a customer with them for 10 years now. I got the worst customer service I've ever received in my life when they could not answer a single question, they could only repeat their verbiage all customer service reps are given when they start a job such as this.

    I had to wait 3 days for the charge to go from pending to posted, just for them to tell me it would be another 7 days for an inquiry. Here is the thing, a local bank, or even a larger scale bank, such as Capital One, can go in that very minute and stop a transaction, so should they be able to. I'm very doubtful at this point I will get my hard earned money back from them, and I can assure you this experience burned me enough for a lifetime, I will NEVER use this product again, I can't wait to get this issue settled and close the account.

    I use to brag to everyone what a good thing I had with this Walmart MoneyCard, and now I regret all the good publicity I gave them. It's not hard, especially when they have 10 years worth of transactions they can view to see my spending history. I've yet to see a penny return to me, only for them to charge me a lost/stolen fee of $3.00 and put the card in negative as well, so IF, IF I ever get my money back, it will automatically be less $3. Their cards do not come with chips, which makes the cards themselves more secure.

    I just cannot believe I got electronically robbed and the company I stood by won't stand by me like they should. These types of financial idiots should be illegal, and shut down immediately so no one else has to deal with what I, and appears, by other reviews, have had to deal with. There is not a single person, I've spoken within the week of dealing with this that can explain anything in depth to me, as to why on earth I have to wait so long for a refund of my money, that was stolen from me! I don't hate much of anything, but I HATE this company for sure now.

    Please let me be one of your prime reason why you should still always physically carry a debit card from an actual bank thats actually reliable. When you're stuck in a restaurant traveling with your friends and you have absolutely no other options to pay other than the Walmart prepaid debit card and theres not enough money on it for you to pay... the first thing that immediately comes to mind is “I should reload this” only to have your debit card information on file denied repeatedly for no reason knowing full well you have more than enough money to process your request. As expected my bank has the nicest people able to assist with any solutions to the problems at hand and they told me nothing was wrong on their end and to contact Walmart which had been the problem the entire time.

    So I called Walmart's customer service and I was eagerly assisted with beautiful elevator music that made my ears bleed profusely followed by complete silence afterwards. I’m very satisfied with the fact that I now know my prepaid card will not never be a reliable option when it comes to emergencies and that I will continue to wait here in a diner in the middle of the country until I figure out a way to actually pay for the delicious meal my friends and I ate. Thank you Walmart. I really appreciate how reliable you are when it comes to ** customers over while still charging them a monthly fee of $5.00 a month on the most useless piece of ** albeit nicely designed prepaid debit card you have to offer!

    On yesterday, I had the most horrible experience with this card!!! I have used this card for over 5 months now, for direct deposit, withdraws, paying bills, store purchases. Then I decided to add the Wal-Mart app., to my phone so that I could check balances. I tried to make a purchase and my card was declined! Then I was sent an email stating that my card is blocked for suspicious activity, I could not call anybody, there was no one to talk to??? I went to a nearby Wal-Mart store and none of the managers could help me???

    They ran my card and stated that the money is on the card, then another manager tried to transfer my money to another Wal-Mart card, she could not because they closed the account so that I could not get my money!!! Wal-Mart blocked my card and they have my $750.00, and I don't have any answers as of yet. It's the weekend, the phone number on the back of the card does not allow you to talk to anybody. No one will talk to me, but yet they send emails with no direct phone number. I advise everyone to avoid online banking with Green Dot. This is not the way to do business! You lost a good customer.

    I've had this card for many years now. I am currently on a mission to find another. The customer service is horrible! The English is very poor indicating that services must be outsourced. To reach a live person it takes forever through the automated line with many choices through a phone tree. You'll hear your balance repeated several times as if you didn't hear the first 2 times. I had a charge that was showing as pending and the rep kept insisting that it wasn't. I explained that it was showing up as such and he kept arguing with me. After about 10 min of going back and forth somehow it magically appeared as pending. It's been 6 business days and the charge hasn't fallen off.

    This is the worst card for hotel check ins, rental cars, etc. Basically for any company authorizing a hold. It takes a long time for them to credit your account back. I also have a American Express Serve and not only do I get paid sooner with that card, pending charges aren't held as long. Disputes are also a long lost cause. Again comparing the AMX was the victim of fraud and had my money reimbursed in 3 days. There is not a problem understanding their reps. Walmart MoneyCard charges you an ATM fee for using their machines. That is ridiculous as well as charging you to reload your card. Amx serve us no charge to load your card and never a fee for atm use at approved locations. My only problem with that card is the limit. I would definitely say search for a better card than the moneycard and save yourself a headache. They are out there.

    Well, up until this point I've had a pretty good relationship with the Walmart MoneyCard. No real hiccups, I get my work checks direct deposited. It's been fine. NOW… here's where things get really messed up and disappointing. I was trying to do some Christmas shopping for all of my family members online at this website. Firstly, you have a create a profile to shop which it’s like that at most places so with that, you get your own dashboard that shows orders you've made, tracking, etc. I've done online shopping for years without a problem. Okay… so I add the items to my cart... I go to check out… And just like any other online order that people make, where you enter your card info is generally like the 2nd to last screen before the transaction is complete.

    So... yea, I'm as far into the transaction that I'm on the screen to enter my "payment information”. Complete that... get a screen saying I'll be sent something and I'm hoping that it shows up under "my orders" on my profile on the site. I finish… go check my account and notice that the $$ is gone which I expect 'cause I'm purchasing "goods" ...oh yea, $357.37 worth of goods which is a hefty amount around Christmas time. It’s not "pending"… cool... I THEN go check my email for the confirmation and there's nothing there… in my regular folder or my spam folder. So I'm like "ill give it some time." 1 hour later... nothing... 2... nothing… and the order still isn’t showing up under my orders on the website.

    Now I start to worry... this is Dec 10th... I contact the merchant to ask them what’s going on with my transaction and according to them and from what I've gathered... my order NEVER went through but the $$$ was still taken from my account for said items that I DID however go through and check out. Weird right? They have no record of my order… can’t see it... ask for a screenshot which I provide and THEN they go on to deny the charge even though it has their website name beside the transaction. I'm like "wow really..." and they're more or less like there's nothing we can do because we can’t put up a order and I'm like "I know, that's why I'm talking to you" but they aren’t trying to refund my $$$.

    Next, I call walmart moneycard right after talking to them and explain the situation and they tell me to file a dispute and that it'll take up to 10 business days and that as long as everything goes through I should have my money by Dec 23. I didn’t like it 'cause it was so close to Christmas and that was the money I was using on gifts that was hung up in limbo because of this. A day or two later, I'm checking my email and NOW they saying I need to fill out some dispute form that's worded and formed really odd that. I then do that and get it back to walmart. I call back a few days later after checking my email again to find out that my dispute had been denied for some reason.

    And the reason that I'm being given is because whatever happened with the online merchant's website that day not registering my order or giving me an order/transaction # or anything there's nothing that could be done and that it was put to me almost like it was my fault for authorizing the charge. Like, no one ever online shops. It’s not my fault something happened on their end. I got deep into the checkout process enough to put in my card information so that should say something… how else could they have gotten it to take money from my account and they just won’t refund it NOR can I get help from one of the walmart $$ card representatives.

    This is a lot of money that I can’t just give to this company… and it’s JAN 3rd 2018… I made that order on DEC 10th and I have YET to receive any of the items I checked out that day. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND I DON’T LIKE IT! I'd like my money back and to be treated like a valued card member. Is that too much to ask for?? I wouldn’t even care if they sent me the stuff. There wouldn’t be an issue but… nah, I can’t let this go unaccounted for.

How is it that it says right below my last transaction I have 22.54 left but say I'm in the negative 65 something and yet still no refund.

    I called again today which is the 30th. Got another person telling me it won't post until Monday yet just yesterday I was told it should have already posted back to my account. Now the representative said he started a case and gave me a case number saying if the money post back to my account the case number won't be needed but if it doesn't call back with the case number. I am getting so fed up with them messing with my money when I have things I need it for. I am so close to canceling my card. If anyone has any information on how to fix this problem, please let me know.

    I recently activated a Walmart Money Card and blocked it temporarily just to have them say I needed proof which I provided more than a few times. I uploaded my images on the site that was provided numerous times and all they keep repeating is the images are not readable. I can't reach Customer service to speak with anyone about what's going on and I don't have a way to cancel the card because of these issues. There is no way to get my money even check my balance because of the block that is placed on. I need to speak with someone from a corporate office to resolve or get someone who can look into settlements.

    I filed a dispute for a hotel, airfare, and ATM charge back on November 14th 2017. I was initially told the dispute would take up to ten business days. After 10 business days the dispute needed to be extended up to 45 calendar days which would have been December 29th. Contacted customer service and was told end of business day today. It was even escalated that I would receive a email or letter in the mail. Spoke to another rep and told me, "Chill out man. Give us time." I'll get my money soon. Not only was she rude but randomly put me on hold and transferred me to another department. Was told by another supervisor, "We guarantee we will have it resolved in 24 hours." This is the second escalation and I've lost all confidence. Because this dispute is over 1000 I think they are delaying in giving me back my money. If something else goes wrong I will be taking legal matters. Will keep y'all posted.

    I am very disappointed with Walmart/Green Dot Corporation's deceitful practices in assisting me... actually your lack of assistance with my dispute. Claim number: **. Your company repeatedly informed me that my issues would be settled on December 29, 2017. I'm sure that you have several recordings of this, just as I do. On December 29, 2017 the timeline incredibly was now 45 days. I was previously NEVER told 45 days.

    I don't have an exuberant amount of money, therefore I must be diligent in maintenance and use of what I do have. It is because of your practices that I deem despicable and your under-handedness that I must file a complaint against your company, Green Dot Corporation, with the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau and Consumer Complaints. How unfortunate and disheartening, that your company treats its customers this way. Screwed by Walmart/Green Dot Corporation and the company that made the unauthorized transactions... It was not pleasurable!!!

    Yesterday morning I received my direct deposit right on time as usual. I went to pay my rent which I do every payday and the person that ran my card thought the internet was down so she ran my card twice trying to get the payment to go through. Long story short... I was double charged and called this so called customer service number. Although the person that ran the card has backed it out of the credit card machine, because I called, it is now a dispute and I am being told I can't get my money until January 10th... 2 ** WEEKS AWAY!!! I have called numerous times, asked for a supervisor, threatened to have my employer (who is an attorney) get involved, you name it, I've done it with these people. They could care less what happened to me.

    They drained my account to 44 cents and the ONLY answer they can give me is that I can't get reimbursed until the dispute is over and that will be on January 10th. I have no food, no toothpaste, no clean clothes, no toilet paper and no one gives a rat's ** that I am deeply affected by this. SHAME on WALMART for putting their name on something so HORRENDOUS!!! It makes me sick and also I am truly suffering here... must less my poor friends and family who are trying to help me out but can't due to this ** they are putting me through. Bottom line is I should have never called them... Once it goes into that DISPUTE status you are screwed until they decide to release the funds. Question? Can I report this to FDIC? They have to be affiliated right? Anyone who may have experience with this, please answer on here. I am DESPERATE right now and I haven't eaten since yesterday morning at this time.

    On my 3rd claim with Walmart MoneyCard for fraudulently activity on my card someone stole my card and took all my money off, but Walmart MoneyCard keep denying my claims. By submitting a police report as suggested by one their supervisors, hoping this will help them believe I️ didn’t spend my own money. Instead they add 4 new transactions to my dispute without my authorization and blame it on me. I️ only submit 8 transactions for my dispute and submitted my police report reflecting the same thing.

    The last supervisor said I️ had to submit another claim for the third time and ask did I️ have the stolen credit card cause he needed the numbers. I️ couldn’t believe he would imply that I️ still had the card I️ reported stolen. He basically call me a liar to my face. Want to exposed them for what they really are. Been with them for more than 5 years and never experienced anybody stealing money from me. The moment it happens, this is how my cardholder treat me. If anybody have the corporate number please send it to me. Requested the number from the supervisor and he said he didn’t have it, “it’s on the website”. It’s not on the website.

    Had charges from someone else using card. Contacted Walmart Money Card and cancelled card. Got a new card and charged $3.00 then told by 12/28/2017 I get a credit for charges not mine. Keep in mind this is 26 days later now. Credit still not there. Called in and was told to try again tomorrow. But their website clearly states:

    "We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, we may take up to 45 days to investigate. If we need more time, we credit your card within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation." So the whole 10 days thing is complete BS. I now opened a account with Wells Fargo so I NEVER have to deal with someone using my card and stealing money and waiting forever to get my funds back!

    Sunday 12/17/17, I called to get a replacement card as mine was breaking in half. I was informed that my card would be cancelled. I was prepared for that. I had purchased another card to transfer my money to. Sunday night, I received an e-mail stating that because of suspicious activity, my card had been blocked. When calling to get more information, all I was able to do was access a recording. I did what the recording and the email requested and attempted to upload my information. The card number did not work. My account was completely blocked. When I finally got through to a CSR to remedy this situation, I was redirected to the same automated message, not once, but twice.I went back to the website and attempted to contact someone through email. I was given the same information all over again.

    Still no explanation as to why my account had been blocked, or what suspicious activity had taken place. Only that I would have to wait seven business days for a new card, THEN upload my information. I don't know about most people, but nine days (at least) is much too long to be waiting to access an account that my paycheck is deposited into. After three more emails, I was finally told that I would be called by someone in the next four hours. It has now been four and a half. Still no resolution to this problem, still no contact by someone who can answer my questions. My paycheck deposit was rejected and I've now been waiting for a week to get paid. If I could give this business a zero rating, I would.

They will lie to you every step of the way so that they don't have to give you your money back. They have opened and closed my case three times because they know they are not handling things correctly. In August I lost over $300 with them in fraud charges. And they are not helping me at all. I have read this has happened to several other people. So please beware. If anyone knows someone in corporate Walmart pls let me know because they need to know whats going on. I will be discontinuing my use of this card and will tell anyone who will listen to never trust this card service with your hard earned money.

    I am disabled and live on a very tight fixed income. I have been a WMC customer for 5 years and never had a problem and never had to call their customer service for assistance. I don't have credit cards of any kind and rely solely on WMC for my online medical supplies and prosthetic shoes. This nightmare began on 12/9/17, the first time I called customer support to see about a credit adjustment from Hitchcock shoes. On 12/10/17, I called again informing WMC customer support the credit adjustment had been received but it had not shown up in the available balance column, they assured me that once another purchase was made the balance would correct itself.

    Okay fine and dandy my balance was $408.01. Now a week goes by and the balance has not corrected itself, so I call on 12/15/17 and once again they reassured me it would after a purchase was made so I figured when the next service fee was deducted and that would be 01/05/2018 that the balance would correct itself. So guess what happens now? Remember this is my first time to call customer support on the last three occasions, I get hit with (8) Eight fraudulent charges centering around New Jersey, I live in Middle Tennessee.

    These charges occurred 12/16 and 12/17, on 12/18 I call customer support, my card is cancelled and a new one ordered which cost me $3.00 making the balance now $405.01, but I was hit with $204.75, making my balance now $200.26. I also wrote a letter of transactions dispute and mailed off 12/19/17 to Pasadena, CA, address to list those charges, and was given a case number **.

    Well being on a fixed income my last $200.00 was on the card that is now blocked. I had a notification sent to my account to upload my license, I did that and it was denied cause it was not clear enough. I can't help it that I don't have a good camera. It's 10+ years old like my laptop, I don't have a scanner or copier and I need groceries pretty soon. When you're on a fixed income and rely on services for transportation you'd understand a little better. It seems they don't care, if they did they would have a number you could at least call and speak to a supervisor or something. My phone is just a TracFone and I've used most of my minutes up. I need help...

    Recently I relocated to Atlanta, GA for a short period of time and when arriving my wallet was stolen, instead of ordering a new card that I absolutely had no time to wait on each time I needed it I would use Walmart's send and receive option and send the money over to my PayPal account. I receive my child support payments for my TWO daughters (7&4) of $43.61 every week (or lack thereof if the payment is not on time) and around 4 days before Christmas they placed a block on my account saying I needed a new card number to access and unlock.

    I sent in ID via my IPHONE with a perfect picture and am still being told my account is locked and Info was not legible. I was told by waiting on the line 35 min a superior would unblock my card only to be told by another superior that this information was not true. My kids and I had to sit in a lonely home without gifts on Christmas and without family and a decent Christmas meal all because my CS payments dropped around the same time as my acct. being locked. I really just need my money. I'm a full time college student and my kids and I really don't deserve to be held from what literally is needed.

    I made a purchase on Walmart.com for my daughter a hoverboard for Christmas on 12/15. That same day I received an email from Walmart saying that they were sorry, however the item was out of stock. They also stated my funds ($262.00) will be returned to my card on 12/22. Now, it's sad to say that it takes a couple of seconds for them to take my money but five days to return it. Today is 12/23 and my funds have not been refunded back to my card and still in a pending status.

    I called customer service. The representative told me the issue is on their end and the earliest they can resolve the problem will be in one business day. This means on Christmas day they will look into the technical problem on my account. All in all this also means my daughter will not wake up to Christmas gifts under our tree. $260 was all I had to buy my daughter gifts with this year. I am very heartbroken and upset with this card, customer service and Walmart for not providing better support and customer service to their committed customers.

    Updated on 12/25/2017: I called again today on Christmas to inquire about my refund and was given the runaround by a customer service representative. First, the person told me that he could not do anything regarding my refund which was very frustrating. He then proceeded to tell me that my funds will be returned on 12/27 (oh no, another date change). When I asked to speak with a supervisor he said one was not available. I then said I would wait until a supervisor became available. After putting me on hold for a couple of seconds the call was hanged up. What can I do? No one is concerned or available to help solve this issue for me. On top of everything I just received a message that my card will be charged a $5 monthly charge tomorrow which will put me in the negative.

    I've had the Walmart MoneyCard for 1-1/2 years and was satisfied. I have my Social Security Pension check direct deposit going to the Moneycard. Last week, a fraudulent emptying of my debit balance in a transaction 2000 miles away caused me to get replacement card. I was told that my card would be canceled and replaced with a new card but that my direct deposit information would stay the same. New card arrived today. Walmart requires confidential driver license or passport photos to re-activate my bank funds! The Vault balance has gone from about $850 to ZERO!!! The online request for identification will not accept any upload of my documents! I tried over and over to get the online system to accept my driver license photos!

    I can't use my card number to verify with because it's been canceled. I can't talk to ANYONE? My rent is due next week. I borrowed enough money to buy food. Walmart has locked up all my fixed income retirement pension, threatening me with homelessness, just because there is no human to help me. I have documented everything. My only recourse left is to get Social Security to do an emergency stop on my direct deposit tomorrow; get a regular savings account at a local credit union; then to pursue media and government help! Walmart knows I cannot afford a lawyer. My life is about to change for the worst this holiday. I am desperate and out of options!

    I have same problem with being locked out of my account as Joe, and I have talked to the customer service people 3 time now. My direct deposit is SS, and I'm disabled. They are sending it back to SS, Wichita will take around 10 days to receive paper check. I will lose home and car by then. I looking forward to someone who can fix this mess.

    Hello, I've signed up for the Walmart debit card on Dec 5 2017. It's now Dec 21 and haven't received my card. I call customer service. They can't give me any info so I could be able to use my card number with the app until I receive it. I thought I suppose to get a temporary number or something like that? Ive been calling and calling but no help. Still waiting on a new card and wondering what am I suppose to do because I have direct deposit coming soon. This sucks.

    I lost my card and when I contacted a rep he told me to cancel it and for $15 I could get the new card expedited in 3 days. I reported the card lost and when I went to call back it would not let me speak to a rep because the account is cancelled. Christmas is 5 days away and I have no access to my money at all.

    I had Walmart Money card for a couple years now, things were fine. Until last Thursday, 12/14/17, where I received my Direct Deposit from work, attempted to use my card for a purchase, and was declined. I called my card that day, the Automated "support" System told me my card was blocked and that I must upload my picture I.D. to their website, which I did. To no avail, the following day I was notified that my account was no longer active and I'm not to open any more accounts through their company. I was dumbfounded, mostly because I have still yet to find out Why my card was blocked in the first place.

    I checked my statement online and nothing was out of the ordinary, and it shows I have money in the account. I emailed the address that was on their website, and they sent me a number to call... the same number on the back of the Debit card. Ridiculous! After calling the number and inputting my card number, the machine tells me my account is No More and hangs up! It would be nice to talk to a Real Person so as to help me retrieve MY money.

    Was recently charged 26 times for 15$ per hit from Ami USA Musicbox and then when they couldn't get the 15$ charge to go through they got me for 5$ more. To get your money back is jumping through hoops. Customer service is foreign. I used note I say used, to get my direct deposit put on my card every 2 weeks. There is no customer protection if fraud is happening on your card. They just let the charges go through like it's no issue. 26 times in a row from 8 states away and that doesn't put any red flags up. The charges occurred 12/15/2017 and I won't know anything from what I was told today 12/29/2017.

    Plus they make you fill out a form to try and get your money back. Then on top of it to add insult to injury they charge you 3$ as a lost card fee. I didn't lose anything as my card is in my wallet. Right before Christmas and also my daughter's birthday. So my holiday is screwed to say the least. Soooo very disappointed in Walmart MoneyCard. DO NOT USE THIS AS MEANS OF GETTING DIRECT DEPOSIT.

    For years I’ve had a Green Dot card and never experienced anything of this sort. For years I’ve trusted this company with my direct deposits and other money operations and not once have I ever been marked as fraud of the kind for suspicious activity! A hold was placed on my 3 days after my hard earn paycheck was deposited onto my card. After numerous emails and attempts to reach someone, I finally got a call back. Not once did the representative give me a explanation of what happened to my card. Not once did the representative care or try to resolve the matter before saying “you’re not getting your money back”. And not once did a the “customer care” representative care to see things from my POV!

    So after doing my own research and the bits and pieces I did get from the rep was this! Even though history and transaction history show a normal working class citizen, the fact that I was bamboozled by a lowlife to let them send me money through Walmart’s features only to have the same lowlife callback to say it was fraud just so Walmart could refund their money again that was supposedly “stolen” and cut my card in the process! Maybe if Walmart took the time to actually listen to people, all this could of been looked at and researched. Not to mention, this same person has been getting charges overturned through Walmart’s paperwork process for years and still at it! Next move, lawyer consent!

    I am very upset with this company, I have been on the phones with them for the past few weeks. Earlier today I received an email from Walmart Dispute for me to send them proof of my identity to continue this dispute because of a fraudulent transaction that happened over 2 WEEKS AGO. When I got to the link they ask me to type in my 16-digit card number, can't do anything because they can't find the information because clearly they decided to block my card before I can even continue on with my dispute. I have refunds coming back to that card this week and I also have my direct deposit from my job going to that card as well. The only thing that's keeping me from going another route is the earlier payments I receive and I really do enjoy that feature on this card. Something needs to be done about this and it needs to happen today or I will report this to the FDIC.

I asked her to resend the card to my new address **. in which she replied "no problem". I asked her to block the PREVIOUS card so it would not be used and please do not block the one going to my new address. I also asked to add my mother to the card because I will be out of state travelling. She said "no worries." The card will be received on or before the 19th. Well, I received the card and lo and behold IT IS BLOCKED. I cannot get a human on the phone for any assistance and the automated service disconnects after stating this.

    I have had my card for almost 3 years and had never had a problem. A few days ago I attempted to order a replacement card because the strip is worn down. When I ordered the new card it told me my request had been processed but my current card would be unable to make cash withdraws but I could use it for purchases. I immediately called customer service and told them I could not have my card blocked because I had bills to pay and needed to withdraw cash. Customer service told me that my card would be fine and they was showing no blocks.

    The next day I was able to withdraw money and use my card normally however, later that evening when I got online to check my balance it told me it was locked and I needed to send my identification to verify my identity. I have attempted this several times. I have been unable to reach a person online or on the phone. It does not give you an option to talk to a person through their customer service. I did get one response from them via email advising me to go online and choose live chat or to call the number on the card. There is not a live chat option that I can find on their page and when you call the number it gives you a round and round blurb about your card being locked and then tells you that the customer service has no further information and will not let you talk to a person!

    I am stuck with no money, it is Christmas time, I am a single mother, I have bills past due. I'm a paycheck to paycheck person like many us and I am very frustrated with this right now. I have not had problems before but this is a big big problem and I am not going to stay with this company once this is resolved. This is absolutely unacceptable. If you are going to suddenly block someone's money you really need a system in place to help people. This minimum 2 day verification is absurd and not being able to contact the company is ridiculous.

    I've had a WMC for I think close to 5 years, never ever once had any issues with it or the issuing bank Red Dot. However, recently I called to change my address and ask for a new card since my old card was worn out. I had to work out of town after my request for the new card, when I got back in town and opened my mail it had arrived during my time out of town, I called the number to activate the new card and was told my card had been blocked. I finally reached a human and again was told my card was not only blocked but that my account was being closed. The first customer service rep could not tell me why so I asked for a superior, this person basically said the same thing with the addition of I had violated the parameters. I asked what parameters had I violated and or what exactly are the parameters for the account and he said he could not disclose that information.

    I tried every way I could think of to ask about these "parameters" and was told over and over that it could not be disclosed. The entire conversation made me feel as I had done something wrong, that the card and or my use of it was criminal? Additionally, I was told that I would not be allowed to open another account?? My card was used only for convenience like paying a bill or the grocery store. To be told that the account was being closed because I had violated parameters that I have no clue of, and that I could not open another account in my name was I feel wrong on Red Dot WMMC part and I really would like an explanation of why this has happened. In 5 years’ time to not have any issues and then boom the account is closed when Red Dot gets to use my money during that time period once again is wrong and deserves an explanation and or correction.

    A few days ago somebody hacked our card and stole over $800. They went to the United States Post Office and purchase two money orders for $400 each. The place that these purchases took place is over 2 hours away from where I am and my husband is who both have card and there were transactions done in 3 different locations all within minutes of each other. So obviously if there's only two cards on the account how is it possible that three transactions were being done within minutes of each other all within very far distance of each other?

    When I called to file the dispute the lady on the phone told me that she couldn't give me any false hope and that most likely I won't be getting my money back from them and that I should contact the merchant. Now this is supposed to be an FDIC secured banking system which means if our money is fraudulently taken that they are supposed to put it back. I sent all the documentation including a police report that was filed. That was my Christmas money. How am I supposed to tell my son the Christmas is off this year because this dispute process takes so long and even at the end of it I was told that I'm not going to get my money back. I need this taken care of ASAP and I need the money put back on the card before Christmas. We are not a rich family. We live paycheck to paycheck.

    I was defrauded and had to make a fraud claim. I sent in my paperwork and got the run around for two weeks saying they never received it after me sending it five times. People in foreign call centers arguing with me. I posted here and promptly got a call from corporate in california. Within one to two business I was credited back and also reimbursed 4 monthly service fees for my inconvenience.

    Original Review: Dec. 13, 2017

    Fraud on my account. 10 business days ago I sent in a dispute resolution form and got an email saying I didn’t send it in. "Please send it." Sent again 5 days ago. No resolution to my issue. Reps not help.

    I accidentally entered the wrong account # on my direct deposit for my payroll at work. I've called Walmart MoneyCard several times and got an unclear answer on whether or not they will reject the direct deposit or if my paycheck has gone onto some else's account. It's over $700 and I'm still waiting for my payroll to be notified to whether or not Walmart MoneyCard will kick back the money. I need answers! Please help!

    I am giving this review one star because I can't do half a star, this is by far the worst service I have had. I can't activate my card and gave my information to the card service number I called with no luck and the automated system said my information was bogus; this is beyond frustrating and I would never suggest this service to anyone and by the way, you can't even get a refund for your money. This is by far the worst service card and I absolutely do not want to talk to the company about this, as far as I'm concerned they can keep the damn money which is approximately $100.

    I have been trying to get in contact with customer service since Friday. Our card was turned off (even though there is money and we can see it) with no explanation or reason why. When calling customer service, it asks for all this information and when input, it still doesn't allow you to talk to anyone. Terrible. What's the purpose of having customer service if you can't talk to anyone. I wonder how fast I'll get a response once I file this Better Business Bureau complaint and it becomes public record? STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!! Only reason I had this card was for easy access to get to my son money while he's away but now I think I'll just add him to my REAL account because this is a joke, waste of time, and piece of crap!!!

    I've been using my Wal-Mart Money Card for maybe 3 years now and recently I lost it so I reported it lost. Well the wrong address was put down and I'm trying to speak with a actual person instead of the automated one but since the card is frozen as well as the account I can't talk to anyone to change the address to the correct one. I keep getting emails saying the card will arrive in a day or two but it will not arrive at my address. I've been trying to figure this out for going on 2 weeks. It's frustrating because I have money in my account also a check that's about to deposit and I can't use it so that means I can't pay bills. It's becoming stressful. Could someone please help me to a customer service rep. Also I put the last 4 numbers of my card in and that's not working because the card is canceled.

    I started a Walmart prepaid visa account which all of a sudden I am locked out of within a day of having. Now instead of being able to contact a live person they refuse to allow access to my funds without uploading a picture of my driver's license. I am discouraged from ever sending valuable information that could potentially be used to access other personal info/banks cards etc. over the internet. Let talk identity theft and how we can make it this much easier. They can't even accept a PDF file. No. It has to be a JPEG?! THERE is NO other banks I've ever gone through that require such action to be taking over a card that was blocked automatically. NOT Reported stolen.

    ALL information that was given at the time of activation and verified therefore WHY on god's green earth NOW do they want to see such documentation and in the form of a JPEG? Why can't I just confirm my transactions and get on with life? If I was to guess I would say that if I was a low level bank and I say blocked and refused access to tens of thousands of people in hopes that they just blow it off and leave the company that much richer OR you can choose to send us valuable information that can later be stolen and used maliciously to disgrace your name and/or bury your credit. Meanwhile we will hold on to this money and collect interest between you and the 10 thousand other victims of this scam

    Why can you not walk into any Walmart and flash your ID and have the teller lift the hold on these accounts??? Why can you not contact a live agent for these instances??? IT'S OBVIOUS they do not want to resolve these matters quickly and there is a profit to be had in the delaying. I think we should open up the books and see exactly how much money Green Dot has actually made in comparison to how much money they have gained in the abandonment of funds due to leveraging funds for sensitive information that could easily be avoided via a Phone Call or In Store.

    I have used the Walmart money card for years without any issues. I noticed unauthorized foreign charges to my card (3 for a total of over $15.00). I reported my card as stolen/lost on 12/4 thinking all unauthorized charges would stop. My card was charged the $3.00 card replacement fee on 12/4, indicating that the other card was closed and would not be able to be charged. However, I got 3 new unauthorized charges to my account on 12/5. I am set to get direct deposit in 4 days and am very concerned that these companies can keep charging me even though I reported the card as stolen.

    I tried to complete the fraud report on the Walmart money card site 3 times. Getting an error message each time saying that it wasn't working at this time. In order to file a dispute you must print out a form and return it by mail, by that time my account will be cleared out. I see no fraud protection with this card at all. I am looking for a new prepaid card at this time.

It can't be used for online purchases and you can't get your money back off card. It won't even work in store when you swipe it. Now I'm no dummy but Walmart should honor their products not send money back in 10 days.

    Christmas will be over and her child won't get what they wanted for Christmas due to policy changes that she was not made aware of at time of purchase. Now you've told me what you are going to do and now I'm telling you what I'm going to do. I'm filing a suit against whomever Walmart, Walmart card, even the owners. This is unethical. You have violated all my rights. Someone need to call me today. All I want is her money today or tomorrow so she will have time to save her child's Christmas, the money sum was over 200.00 dollars.

I tried to register the card online and it for some reason the automated system stated it was unsuccessful. So I called the 800 number to speak with someone and entered my card # and it asked me for the ss # which I inputted but it doesn't recognize me.

    I have been calling that number for 24 hrs trying to speak with a "LIVE" person about this issue. This is so absurd! My intent with purchasing this card was to use it for the holidays in stores and online and to continue to place money on it... It's useless... I need this resolved ASAP as that's my Christmas money, I have tried everything from using it online, etc. NO LUCK!!! Help... I need my money!!! I can't believe that there isn't any option to talk to someone live or go into the store and have them refund me my money back. This needs to be resolved ASAP!!!! All I want is to use "MY" money and to place money accordingly.

I checked my account and saw 3 pending charges from Nordstrom. I contacted Nordstroms and they stated that they only sent Green Dot authorization for the charges, and that I should contact the bank and tell them to release those charges. And, that they notify the banking institutions at the end of the day as well. I contacted Green Dot and they are refusing to release that money until 12-14th. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS PLACE.

    Just purchased this card basically for my son to use on his game system so he wasn't having to use my bank card. When I asked the cashier about it, I was told I could use it IMMEDIATELY after registering the card. So I set it up when I got home, waited the 15-20 minutes that the website tells you to wait, my son tries to use the card, it's an invalid card number. Ok, maybe we give it a little longer. Another hour goes by still invalid. So I call customer service, basically I am told I can't use it for 8 hours!!! Nothing mentioned about that before ANYWHERE!!!

    We enrolled in the MoneyCard program so that I could purchase gifts for my husband and preserve the surprise. Because we knew that it might be 10-12 months between purchases, and we’d be reloading the card infrequently, we were looking for a no-fee card. The WalMart associate who set us up with the card assured us that there would be no fee. We were very clear what we wanted and why, so unless the associate did not understand their own product, there should have been no reason for us to have been set up with a card that had fees.

    12 months later I checked the balance, expecting to see $56.00. Instead I saw -8.00. When I called customer service, the rep told me that she was only authorized to refund $5.00. After further discussion, she told me that she spoke with her manager, and was now authorized to refund $50.00, but could not refund more because there was a $50 cap. She also said that the money would be on the account within 24 hours. 24 hours later when I logged in to check my balance it said $3.00. 3 days after the conversation, the balance said -$3.00.

    When I once more called customer service, the representative told me that the notes attached to my account indicated that the previous rep made no mention of consulting a manager, nor being authorized to refund more than $5.00. I asked her to please let me speak with another manager. She told me that her manager was busy, but that I could be placed in a “priority queue.” And that the manager would call me back. I agreed. She told me to keep my phone handy so that I didn’t miss the call.

    That was 7 hours ago. As of this writing it is 10:00 central standard time. My cell phone indicates that no one has tried to call me in the last 7 hours. Needless to say, their priority queue seems to be more of a low priority queue. At this point I am tired of this company’s repeated failure to meet the expectations they set. Going forward, I only want two things: 1. A refund of the fees that I was told the card did not carry. 2. Canceling the account after I receive my refund. After that, I want nothing more to do with this company. I would not recommend this card for the casual user. And their abysmal customer service now means that I would not recommend the card for the frequent user, either. Unless the user could literally get no other card on the planet, would I even suggest considering this card.

    I wouldn't recommend anyone to use this card, terrible customer service and they are very sarcastic. I used my card to pay a bill online which was for 434.00. They sent the payment in twice then advised me that the merchant requested the payment twice, so I contacted the merchant and I was told they only received one payment. So the money was pending for several days not to mention this money was for another bill so now my bill is late and my funds still haven't been reversed. First I was told the funds will be reversed on the 6th. Now they're telling me the 7th. Also the money is no longer showing in none of my transaction. I am very frustrated and pissed and soon as I receive my money I will be canceling this card.

    Two days later the payment was deducted after I had already used another card to make the online payment. I called customer service for a second time and the rep stated that nothing was showing on their end and that I needed to submit a screenshot of my transaction history because I told them that the payment was deducted and the rep said it wasn't. I received an email on today that stated that nothing was wrong with my card so no further action would be taken. I am angry! I am calling them again to see if I can get this resolved because I don't have money for them to hold hostage. If I don't get this resolved I am closing both of my cards!

Now, my next paycheck has gone in on that card, and also the 600 that was stolen is still missing, and Walmart just froze my account. I got an email asking me to send in a picture of my ID. I tried to do that with the link from my email, but it wont accept it because that card # is now frozen. So I tried to call Walmart but I cant get through because my card number is now invalid and it wont accept my Social Security # either.

    So my wife has a different account with Walmart as well, she then called in and was able to get in touch with a supervisor, and they then got me a person to explain that a new card and # has been mailed, and I must wait for that card before the online ID picture will be able to be accepted. When I get my new card, please help expedite this case. I work out of town and I have no other access to funds, my children are out of town with me as well. Walmart has been attentive and I am supposed to be getting a new card in 5 more days. I have no access to any funds until I get that card, my family and our bills depend on it. Please respond. Thank you for any help on this matter.

    I've had the Walmart MoneyCard for years and have all my direct deposit going to it. Yesterday I had a charge for some online subscription that I don't have and called to dispute it. I was told that my card would be cancelled and replaced with a new card but that my direct deposit information would stay the same. No problem, just wait 7-10 business days for the new card to come right? This morning I get an email asking for DL verification to unblock my account. Only I can't use my card number to verify with because it's been cancelled. Reading other reviews, it seems a new card won't be sent before verifying but I can't talk to ANYONE? The automated system says "account blocked and agents can't help you" and hangs up. I get paid weekly, so I am losing my paychecks to a void until this is straightened out and I have bills to pay. Please tell me how I can speak to someone directly.

    I’ve been banking with Walmart card for about a year. I lost my card and I can no longer speak to a rep on the phone without the card number, my other info I put in isn’t correct in the system. So I have no way of unblocking my card and getting my money. I’ve emailed them multiple times and each time they just reply with the Walmart Money Card assistance number. Which I have notified them doesn’t work for me.

    I have been using the MoneyCard for years, but this last year I have went through 6 cards and on ALL of them, folks have been able to hack in and empty my acct. I have used them for Direct deposit at my job and keep losing money. When I find I've been hacked, I call the Customer service and they cancel that card and issue me another, only to have that one hacked. The process of reporting unauthorized transactions is brutally difficult. I have to print out a multiple page form that allow only 5 transactions (when I have 20-30), fill them out and mail them in and then they will take their time (up to 6 mo) to decide. Last June I was wiped out of $550. I went through the process and after 2 mo. they closed my case, without an explanation or anything. WHAT?

    So let me get this straight, YOU allow folks to get into my acct and YOU allow them to make transactions and buy things, wiping out my acct and then close my acct? SO you cancelled that card and issued me another one and this time they wiped out over $2000. Why is that? How is it possible that I have to input a password and answer security questions to get into my acct, yet total strangers can get in and make buys with my money without ANY of that? How does red flags not pop up when my acct is registered in one place (say KC, MO) and folks are making purchases on my acct in NYC and L.A., Ca, while I'm steadily using it in KC? I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!

    I used this card for a while without issue, but a few mornings ago, I found out that they closed my account with zero explanation or warning. Now, I can't get my hotel incidentals refunds because hotels are only allowed to refund back to the card that was originally used. There is NO live customer service to speak to, and only canned responses are given via email. This has been an incredible inconvenience, and I'm out over $200. I used to recommend this card to friends and family but definitely won't. I'm having my 4 kids close their accounts, as well as having my grandparent's close theirs (we used it to help them pay their bills). It's bad business to just close an account with any warning on top of having no way to speak to a live person regarding the matter. DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!!

    I've had this card for 3 years because it's convenient for me when my bank is closed & I need to pay a bill. Until tonight when I went to my local Walmart & 2 employees told me I couldn't load my card at a register & that I'd have to wait for the MoneyCenter to open tomorrow. They also told me this was a new policy. I have always been able to do this at a register there any time any day. I like going to this location because it is closest to me.

    I started using this card a few years ago. After about two years using it, I opened a bank account and switched all of my stuff over to it. I cancelled my Walmart MoneyCard. However, I found out a couple of weeks ago that the Veteran's Affairs was still depositing my travel pay on this card. I contacted Walmart MoneyCard by phone and was able to reach an agent. He checked on the card for me and said it was still active and still had $301 on it. The travel pay office told me they had deposited a total of $512 on it. I asked the agent about it and he said yes it was deposited on the card, but because I had not used the card, they were taking a set amount every month for being inactive. The agent told me that he would send me a new card and I would need to activate it. Once activated I would have access to my money. They even charged me $3 to send the new card.

    I received the new card and followed the directions to activate the card. I received a prompt that told me my account had been blocked and I would have to verify my identity by uploading a picture of my driver's license. I uploaded the front and back images of the card exactly how the instructions said to do. I checked on it the next day and found a message saying that the images were illegible and I had to submit documentation again. I have uploaded my driver's license three times so far with the same results. The pictures are clear and easy to read but I still cannot get my funds that are on the card.

    I have called Walmart MoneyCard several times and only get a recording saying that my card has been blocked and is needing identity verification. I cannot get through to a representative at all. This company has already taken $200 of my money. I am a disabled veteran with a family that I have to support and I cannot even get through to talk to a real person. I have never felt so scammed. Everyone please stay away from this company. They will take your money and you will not have any way to get in touch with anyone

    I went to my local Wal-Mart on 11/27/2017 and had my check cashed and loaded to my card. The rep at the Wal-Mart money center messed up the transaction, which resulted in a manager being called in to fix the mix up. The money center had to do a refund back to my card. After the refund was posted to my account, Green Dot locked my card, and it's been locked since Monday. After contacting Green Dot, I was told I had to send in a copy of my receipt for the original transaction where the money center rep messed up. I provide the receipt, then I was told I had to wait 2 business days before the lock would be taken off. It has been 3 days and I still don't have access to my money. I've called customer service for the card, and they are still giving me the runaround.

    I have bills that I need to pay, but Green Dot has yet to release my money. This is the worse card ever. The reps that I have spoken with claim there is no one higher than them there when I requested to speak to a supervisor. This is really ridiculous on all levels. After this situation is done and I have my funds, I will never use this card again. I would not recommend this card at all.

    About 2 weeks ago someone that lives in a completely different state hacked my card & stole money. I have no clue how this was done but I reported it immediately as fraud and had my card closed down. I was sent a new card and a block was placed on my account until I could verify my identity which I did and let me tell you that was only the beginning of my problems.

    I had almost $200 STOLEN from me. I AM THE VICTIM HERE and every time I call I'm treated like the damn criminal. I never get any help and now my money is all tied up in disputes and I have bills to pay and children to take care of. I can honestly say I don't make a lot of money so the little that I do has to go a long way. Every time I call I get a different answer & am told that I have to wait to get MY money back until the dispute has been completed. THIS IS MY MONEY!!! I work for it and you have no right to keep it on hold for that long and then when I call in I get some stupid representative that actually had the nerve to ask if I gave my card information to anyone. REALLY!? How stupid can you be? Why in the hell would I give my card information to anyone. I want my money back and I want it back now. These were fraudulent charges and I can easily prove that. If I don't get some help quickly I will be forced to take legal action.

    We were issued new cards when we reported one damaged. For an unknown reason they have blocked the new cards. The phone system will not let me talk to a person to discuss this. Our money is locked into this card and we cannot use it. We successfully used the MoneyCard for several years before this. I have two cards. One I load in Texas and one my disabled daughter in Colorado used for purchases and cash. Her card quit working and she assumed it had been damaged. We asked for a replacement and were told that all new cards had to be sent. Upon receipt I was told that the card was blocked.

    I am bewildered as I have excellent credit & we have never had any issues that would lead to this. Is it because when Equifax had their breach I blocked my credit reports? My daughter may have forgotten her Pin as she has been ill. I'm afraid to try to change the PIN as that might make things even worse. I cannot reach a person no matter what I've tried. I need help.

    On November 16th I got paid from Walmart $412 which goes onto a Money Network Mastercard. I went into Apple Valley Walmart to unload the card and there was an issue. I pulled out card in the middle of transaction and was cancelled on Walmart side however Money Network does not show the cancellation and won't refund my money. I have filed a dispute and Money Network says it will be up to 45 days for me to get my money.

    In the meantime I have several payment arrangements that I had made prior to get my accounts current that I can't pay and my car will go into repossession and my storage unit will be auctioned off, my water heater and stove run on propane and that ran out on November 18th. My internet/landline has been interrupted due to nonpayment. I wasn't able to speak to a supervisor and after faxing over proof that Walmart cancel transaction I am still without my $400 which was my paycheck. It's been a nightmare and I don't know how this isn't illegal. My money has been stolen right in front of face.

    I need 2015 statements and they can't be accessed because "The system only has 12 months worth of history". I am charged every month to have the card if the direct deposit threshold isn't met plus I am charged $3 to load the card among other fees - you would think with the amount of people that use this card you would have a better system of pulling archived records for your customers. I am beyond angry at this point and will no longer use this card for anything.

    I have had a card for over 6 years and never had an issue until September. I went to use my card and was informed that there were insufficient funds. I know that my direct deposit had been sent 2 days prior and I had not used my card since before that. When I got home I checked and found that someone had withdrawn $800.00 in three separate ATM withdrawals in less than 30 min. I reported the unauthorized withdrawals and as of this date I am still fighting to get my money back. From the terms of agreement, they violated at least 2 of them. (No more $400.00 per day from ATM withdrawals and holding me responsible when I reported the theft well within the time required.) I am lucky in that I didn't have all of my money in that account so that I can still afford to pay my bills, but most people do not. This would be extremely difficult for someone who has all their money stolen from them in this manner.

    I purchased a Walmart MoneyCard. Signed up for direct deposit through Social Security Administration I received. My first deposit went on a card that I had previously discontinued through Walmart MoneyCard's automated service operator (live person). That was resolved. However it took quite a while after sending MoneyCard my ID number over and over through their document transfer app. They continued to say it was not legible.

    After send it twelve times I called the automated service. Finally they informed that my complete balance was available and that I can only retrieve. The balance. I can never reload the card and they were no longer have any interest in doing business with me and that they will no longer accept my direct deposit. Social Security accidentally sent it because I did not tell them in a timely manner. Well my money is stuck in Green Dot bank. I have been trying to contact them since the 28, of Oct. to no avail.

    I purchased a Walmart MoneyCard this past Saturday so I can make online utility payments. After I registered the card I went to make my first payment, the payment kept declining, I tried again, it declined again. I waited a few minutes thinking that since I just registered the card the funds weren't available. 1 hour went by and the card still declined. So I used the routing and account information that was provided to me as that was an option for one of my utility bills. I went to pay my other bill and the card declined again, so I call Walmart MoneyCard customer service and was told that the card was a temporary card because some information that I may have entered was not correct!!! They told me that I was only allowed to use the card in person at store as a credit transaction ONLY!!! I can't get my cash back, I can't make an online payment, I can't withdraw money from a ATM. MY MONEY is being held hostage.

    The customer services reps are rude, they hung the phone up on me because I requested to speak with a supervisor to try and correct this as there was a pending ACH payment that would get denied. I feel If their system thought that I put incorrect information in or it wasn't matching a previous account, then it shouldn't allowed me to register the card and directed me to call customer service, but it did not. I found out that they had a previous account under my maiden name and since that I have married and used my new last name it issued me a temp card that I can't use unless I make in store transactions, which I did not purchase the card to do!!! This is the worst experience EVER!!! And the customer service is AWFUL and very RUDE!!!

    I have had Walmart MoneyCard for many years. I have never really had any major issues with the use of the card, however the calls into customer service have been less than satisfactory. The most recent call was with regard to bogus/FRAUDULENT charges. My card # and my pin were apparently stolen. I say this because I had just gotten paid and I never take large denominations of money from my account and I would not have 2 withdrawals from the same ATM on the same day within a minute of each other totaling over my daily limit! There is a HUGE language barrier as I was calling offshore. I was cut off midsentence many times.

    I was given a credit of my funds and then it was taken back and the dispute closed. I attempted to make contact and kept being put on hold. I thought Green Dot was reputable until My card was compromised and someone was allowed to withdraw more than your limit and it was not authorized, oh and by the way I was home sick with both of my cards!!! NOW MY ACCOUNT SHOWS A NEGATIVE BALANCE. How is any of this acceptable??? Stay clear of the GREEN DOT WALMART MONEY CARD!!! How did they deny and justify 2 withdrawals done minute apart? Now I worked for a week for free? I think not, I have an appointment to speak with an attorney tomorrow. I’ve also filed a complaint with consumer affairs and the Attorney General's Office.

    Ever since I've had this card I've had really bad customer service experience. The customer service agents barely understand English. They tell you they're going to have someone call you back and nobody ever does. I don't understand how they can take money off of a card and not be able to reverse the transaction especially after talking to the merchant who verified that they are not going to claim any of the funds that were authorized. I also don't understand how a transaction could just vanish from the Pending Q and there not be any money go back into the account or anything.

I had a card that had to be closed, but it still had a account balance associated with it. I was told a check will be mailed to me with that ending account balance by a specific date. As that date approached, was told by another that it hadn't been mailed yet and they would have it mailed out. So on, and on... Well here we are in the middle of November and still I have not received that ending account balance check!?? The cs reps act very cavalier and don't care. I want my check!!!

Finally I had them send me a new card in which once I received it, it was blocked. Now I have to Upload my ID to withdraw money from the card which takes 2 business days and it's Saturday! I'm highly pissed that my money is tied up. I feel like using this card is a waste of time. In the meantime I guess I'll go without food and wait until they feel like releasing my card!

    My experience was very poor with Walmart MoneyCard Greed Dot. I acquired the card in January 2017 to provide a card to my son that would have limited funds for him to purchase online games. I understand a service is being provided and fees is the only way for Walmart or Green Dot bank to make money. The account had a low balance and the monthly fees ate it away, again which is fine. The fees started to incur negatively until it reached 10 usd. When I called customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor, the agent argued with me and refused to transfer the call and eventually hung up on me.

    I called back and spoke to a 3rd party company who verifies transaction on behalf of Green Dot and she (Robyn - really professional) canceled for me the 3 attempts of depositing 100 usd that I made because the website was erroneous. I had her transfer me to 1877-937-4098 and had to repeatedly ask for a supervisor. I was transferred to Chris, who apologized and promised to have the call reviewed and if necessary have management discuss the issue with the agent that hung up on me.

    I explained the issues and she could not understand why I find it unethical to charge fees for an account that reached zero and the customer has not attempted to use in months. I explained to her that it is almost impossible to find them on the phone and the fact that not one sentence after the explanation of charges, it said the account can go negative and the customer is responsible to deactivate the account when they run out of money. The website does not have a deactivation option. It should be considered fraud if I cannot cancel a transaction that was created online. If I can create it on the website, I should have a quick option to temporarily or permanently deactivate. PS. To my fellow customers, do not use the services until the policy is changed and the website updated. •Bank of America: $410 million to settle claims of more than 13 million customers that the company used unethical overdraft practices.
