    So upset with this company! I have used my card for the last past year with no problems until tonight. I went to the store to withdraw money off of it and it kept saying transaction denied. Call the cc# and the card was closed. I never authorize my card to closed by any means. I have direct deposit and still have money on this card. I want my refund or my account open with a mistake done on their behalf... Pissed... Next step FDIC.

    We used to love our card and specifically got one that was supposed to waive the reload fee when we cashed our check, but as of a couple of months ago it has become a lot of stress and hassle, ending most of the time having to go through a check out line and paying the reload fee because very few people in customer service know how to load it. I have even been treated very rudely by the same shift leader twice because she doesn’t know how to do it and thinks we are lying about doing it this way for the past 6 years. I have always loved my card, and I guess this is more of a store problem than a card problem but it is the only Wal-Mart in town and we are looking into another card elsewhere because it has become just too much hassle to reload this one.

    I bought the card in store and registered it online but when I try to use it to pay a cell phone bill online or over the phone the system keeps declining it and say that the card cannot be used for this type of transaction. So now I am stuck with a card that I can’t use and pretty much out the money I put on it. But I guarantee that the card would work at Walmart if I tried it.

    I purchased this after asking if my son could use it immediately. First mistake because he could not. We needed it to be used that day. Instead he was blocked and I had to go online and create an account and get a card in mail DAYS later. Then when he tried to use it said pin incorrect. I went to Wal-Mart money center in store and they were absolutely no help. I had to copy my DL front and back and scan to .com address to unblock. Then it still says pin incorrect. Never again, if I could give it negative stars I would. The topper on the cake is that the 800 number to call for customer support has no humans, just a voice saying go to the website. So I guess it's Walmart scam to keep my money on the card since I am unable to use it.

    My Walmart MoneyCard is closed and I cannot get a hold of a single person to tell me how to fix it. Your card is holding 180 dollars of mine that it will not let me withdraw or make any transactions on. I need a prompt reply or phone call. I was closed out of my Walmart MoneyCard because of “suspicious” activity. I have reviewed all recent transactions and they are all accurate. I currently still have money on that card that is no longer accessible to me. Your automated phone line will not let me speak to a representative because my account is closed.

    I WANT MY MONEY PLEASE. I loaded it on there myself. If my account is closed, why haven’t you mailed me a check to my address with the balance left on the card. It is regarding my Walmart Greendot MoneyCard. My card account has been closed due to suspicious activity which is false. There was no suspicious activity. Your company closed my card. The number on the back of my card is an automated system that will not let me reach a representative because my account is closed. Green Dot will not discuss this issue with me because it’s a Walmart MoneyCard.

    I have $181.00 and some change still on that card that I cannot access. I cannot use any of the funds on that card. Your automated system will not get me to a representative. The associates at Walmart customer service in store cannot help me they said. Green Dot cannot help me because it’s a Walmart Card. The number on the back of my Walmart card will not let me speak to a representative in your customer service call center because it is a closed account. I need someone to give me a phone call from Walmart MoneyCard customer service so that I can explain this issue and get my money. You are withholding money that I personally deposited on the card. Do not send me a phone number to call, they do not help as your automated systems will not let me speak to a representative due to the fact that my account is closed due to supposed suspicious activity.

    We made an online purchase and unfortunately it ended up not being a secure site. As soon as I knew I turned the card off and had them send me a new one. Shortly after the account was blocked. I received the new card and followed the necessary avenues to get account unblocked and the new card activated. Here we are days later and my paycheck cant be deposited on the card for reasons unknown to me.

    I tried multiple times over the last 2 weeks to get a hold of an actual person to get this sorted out appropriately and in a timely manner. The customer service SUCKS! An automated system works great for some cases but not this one. I think it's ridiculous that you have no option to speak to a representative! Unless this gets rectified and soon, we will take our business elsewhere!

    That's very crazy. My MoneyCard Visa lost. I call them to send me another one, they send me a MasterCard with another account number. But I could use my phone to make transaction. I call them to let them know I need a Visa card with the same account number, because I got direct deposit on it. They said ok. First, they lock my account and could not use my money to pay any bills. The worst, they never send me a new card. I am very angry at this time. Somebody can help me to get my money very quick?

    Today (11-07-2017), I purchased a $100.00 Walmart Visa Debit card. I tried to register it four times using their online service and was unsuccessful. The first three times it wouldn't allow me to "continue" without providing a message as to why or what was wrong. The fourth time it gave an error message stating I should provide an email address. I have provided an email address each of the four times I tried to register. I had no means to contact a human to discuss this with Walmart. They don't provide a phone number or have a "Chat" site. Can you help?

    I been customer of Walmart money card since over 3 years. I lost my card and I decided to open a new account. When I receive my card I was not able to activate it. I call customer service and they told me I have to upload my identification online. I try too many times and the system was not accepting it. I call customer service and they told me is nothing they can do. They denied me the right to speak with a supervisor. Walmart customer service contact me by phone and I explain again the same situation and they told me I need to get a United States is because as they said Puerto Rico is not part of United States, I feel discriminated by this bank by my citizenship. Puerto Rico also got Walmart money cards in there for sale.

    My question is how they going be selling Walmart money card in Puerto Rico and they don't accept Puerto Rico identifications? They should then don't sell any kinds of products in Puerto Rico. Also I have $500 dollars on my account that Walmart MoneyCard don't wanna refund to me and I can't have neither access because I can activate the card. I feel that the bank do this to me that way they can steal my money, ideas about safety. I think they should ask first for my identification not after I receive the card and I got the money on my account.

    I purchased the temporary card in store and then tried to activate online, the online activation was not accepting my information but would not give me a reason so I then tried to call the activation number from the sticker on the front of the card and got the automated system and entered all of my information then the automated system transferred me to a customer service representative to verify my personal information. The person I spoke with had a very heavy accent and I could understand very little of what she said. We both had to repeat questions and answers multiple times then I was asked to hold while she verified the information. I then heard another automated message telling me that my information could not be verified and I could not make online purchases or cash withdrawals, that they would not be sending me a personal card nor could I reload the one I have. I could only make in store purchases.

    Now I can't get ahold of a real person to talk to. They don't offer email help services and a card with my money that I can't use for what I got it for in the first place. I have never had an experience like this with Walmart before and I have had a money card with them previously and everything went smoothly. I don't understand and would like this problem fixed.

    If you get this card, Walmart WILL eventually steal your money, someway. When you dispute they will deny it. And then when you call they will not talk to you. They will blame anyone else they can to not accept responsibility for their actions. I tried to pay my mortgage (like I do every month) and for some reason last month my mortgage company didn't get it. Which made me LATE ON MY PAYMENT. Walmart blamed them saying they took out too much or some crap (I've heard every excuse in the book). They will not give me back my money, don't know where it is, and act like they don't even care. I am fed up. If someone does not fix this by the end of the week I am taking legal action. This is fraud and theft. I will NEVER give Walmart my business again. $1,116.00 just gone! POOF! BEWARE!!!

    This is a great option when you need a debit card without the hassle of getting a bank account. However, the customer service number provides little to no assistance when you need to talk to someone. I recently lost my card and reported it lost. The site did not provide an ETA to receive the new card upfront. Days go by and I am still waiting. I called the 800# to find out when to expect the card. It asked me for the card number. How was I to know that. I haven't even received it yet. Went the website again.

    Went to lost/stolen page and only then did it say that it would take two weeks to receive. I get my check direct deposited to my card and just got paid. I can't use any money. I have bills due and use the card to pay them. I don't even know the new number so I can change it on the specific bill website. I have no idea what to do. I can't even use the send money option because you can only send it PayPal, to another Wal-Mart money card or Green Dot card. I probably won't even get the card until I get paid again. So disappointing. I have no idea what the new card number is but I can provide info from the original.

    This card is actually a good card because you get paid two days early. You don't have to worry about overdraft charges. But the problem comes in with this card is when you lose it how you have to wait for them to send you a card. They block your account. You cannot talk to a live person to see what's going on with your account. You're in limbo about what your balances and you have to talk to a machine that shuts everything down. So after you finally get your card you can't activate it until you send them a copy of your identification. You would think that they would have a easier way for you to identify yourself.

    Besides it taking two extra days this card would be great and a lot of people would have it. If once you lose it you can go to Walmart and get a temporary card to your card comes in the mail so you can have access to your money instead of being without access to your money for almost a week just like the bank. I know this is not the bank but once you lose your bank debit card you can go to the bank and get a temporary card to your card comes in the mail. For Walmart it should be where you can go to Walmart and get a temporary card until your real card comes in the mail so you'll always have access to your money and also need a better way to identify yourself without having to upload your picture and wait for two days. No one knows my social. Nobody knows my special password is I have set up. I'm just saying it should be a easier way.

I still do not know why. Very disturbing. I have a lot of other complaints. They do not seem to care about their customers. The reps on the phone can barely speak English (GOOD LUCK IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING). I had a phone number to change.

    I am a little put out with Walmart. I went in to get a birthday card and a gift card for my nephew. The only thing I saw in the checkout was the Walmart money card. Thinking this should work I told the gal at checkout to put 25 dollars on the card. She told me I had to go to customer service to do that. Well that was a new one as I have always been able to load cards at the register. I thought no big deal. I will just load it at customer service. The gal at customer loaded the card with the 25 dollars and then told me I would need to call or go online to activate the card. Hmmm, once I have put money on cards in the past they have automatically been activated. Again I thought no big deal. I can do that. After all the card was only a dollar.

    When I got on my computer at home I thought it was a little strange that they should be asking me all these questions such as my SSN #, Address, phone, date of birth. Wow. All this for just a 25 dollar gift card. Then I read the document that came with the card and I would be charged 5 dollars the next day. Wow Wow Wow. Now it cost me 6 dollars for a 20 dollar gift card. THEN I find out that they will charge a 5 dollar monthly fee for the card every month. Unreal, all I wanted was a gift card to send to a young boy for his birthday. It would have helped if the gal at customer service would have told me upfront that there would be monthly fees. I would have declined the purchase and gotten a different card.

It processed my payroll checks for several weeks and now it doesn't giving the reason that my check was declined and when trying to process it again saying that my signature was too small.

    I’m very dissatisfied with this company! Called FDIC to file a complaint as well. Filed a dispute with Walmart MoneyCard yesterday and today they block my account. I’m trying to withdraw my funds that are still in my account. Asked me to send my ID but the link needs a 16 digit card number which it’s not something I can provide. Can’t talk to a live rep because they need my card info. Going to call my state senator for assistance with this. I want my money back and want to use my funds. It’s urgent!

    I've had an account for 5 years and without any explanation as to why, my account was closed by an automated message and told I would not be allowed to open any other cards with them. My account has been in good standing the entire time and was blocked from even viewing my funds and calling customer service is impossible once I enter my information. I can't even speak to a representative. No access or help to any money I have on my card. This all started after I received some fraudulent charges on the original card and I received the replacement card. I tried paying my credit card bill, made a purchase on Amazon and a few other purchases. That's when the decline transactions started.

    I was required to send in a picture of my ID for verification, which I did. I then received the message about the closing of my account. This is truly an enormous inconvenience due to having my direct deposit set to go into my account in a matter of days. Now I must try contacting my employer and request that the direct deposit be cancelled and a paper check be mailed to me instead which will cause several delays.

    How can I get in contact with someone that can help me. I would like to know the status of the dispute which I have made a claim. I didn't make any of those transactions that were made in Florida. I also have documentation showing where I was clocked in at work the time of those transactions which were made in Orlando, Florida and I work and live in Atlanta, GA. which my transaction history will show you that I haven't been out of Georgia. I have not been to Florida in years so I have no knowledge of any purchasing in any parts of Florida. So any recent the transactions that showed are not me and someone has compromised my information and have used my card. Please let me know what I can do to help the process cause I would like to have the funds that were taken to be put back. It's not fair to the customer to not have any number or person to talk to regarding this matter.

    If it was you and your hard earned money was taken and you can't seem to get the right information regarding the status how would you feel. Please let me know what I can do to help me sooner. I will provide anything you need to get my funds back into my account that were taken from me out of Orlando, Florida. Thank you for your time.

    I called over 2 weeks ago to get a replacement debit card because mine was stripped and not working properly. Representative told me my card would be canceled within 24 hours and a new card would be here 5-7 days, great no problem, so I wait 8 days and still no card. I called again because at this point I've got a large direct deposit coming in by the 31st of October that will obviously need to be used for bills. Get a rep on the phone and he tells me that no card has been sent and my current card was indeed still active. Although a little annoyed, since it was so close to my DD date I figured if the card was still active I would wait until after the deposit to have them send a new card so I could at least get my money off the card before my card was canceled.

    I used the card the next day at a gas station just fine (this was Saturday 2 days ago) then this morning I receive an email from WM MoneyCard stating I needed to verify my identity online by submitting photo ID and SS #. A little odd but okay, I tried to log on yet it says my card number has been blocked along with my whole account! I call the automated number to get someone on the phone and it tells me I need to verify my identity online, yet I cannot do that if my card number has been blocked! I cannot get ANYONE on the phone, just the automated system telling me my account has been blocked.

    This is extremely frustrating considering I tried to get a replacement card 2 weeks ago! Now there is no way to get a hold of anyone at WM MoneyCard and no way to resolve my account. This is unacceptable how they are just toying with people's money and livelihoods with this and this needs to be addressed! Now I won't be getting my direct deposit tomorrow thanks to them! Extremely unprofessional.

    This card only took money from me. I uploaded a card in order to receive direct deposits and while I was waiting they deducted their $5.00 a month fee. Then I went to check the balance because the first of the month was coming up again for them to take an additional $5.00 monthly fee from the balance I deposited and the WHOLE balance was gone! I immediately stopped direct deposit before the money was sent because I did not want them to take all that money too!

So what she was suppose to do for me is transfer my direct deposit from the misplaced card to the temporary and nothing ever happened.

    I have been a customer of Walmart MoneyCard for well over 7 years! This company has put me through so much agony and stress since. Most recent issue I've had was reporting my card stolen. My wallet and phone was stolen from me. I had over $300 stolen used from my account. It took Walmart MoneyCard over 16 days to "investigate" the transactions. They never called me or nothing to give me an update.

    I called them to find out the update of my money. After 10 minutes of trying to get a live person on the line, they tell me they dismissed my investigation because the transactions was approved within the state I live in. This response had me in tears. Not only am I a single mother and make minimum wage, but now I had my money freely taken with no consequence? And because this thief spent my money in the same state I live in, I don't get my hard working money back???? I am disgusted with this fake bank! I am weak by all the stress they have caused me. I will not stop reaching out to whomever I need to, to get my money back and to make everyone is aware of this fraud institution!

    I was a Walmart MoneyCard for over 6 years... My social security has been direct deposited it that whole time. I use to recommend this card to everyone. Until a few days ago. They said I had a block on my card because of some unusual activity so I needed to upload my ID for proof. I hadnt used my card since Oct 4 so I was confused. Finally was sent a message to call the card and I was told by an automated voice that Walmart has decided to close my account and that any money loaded or direct deposits to my card would not go on.

    I just started new job and gave them my information for paycheck to be deposited onto my card. I also am expecting my social security in a couple of weeks and since it's after the middle of the month it's too late to change where my money goes. I tried calling customer service again to speak to someone and to get an explanation as to why they're closing my account after being a loyal customer for six years. I spoke to a rep and she had to transfer me to a specialist. After being placed on hold for 20 minutes and still no specialist I hung up. I will spend the rest of my days making sure people know how crooked Walmart MoneyCard is and how they just got rid of me with no warning screwing up my money and ability to pay my bills in November on time.

    I started working at Walmart about a month ago and I dont yet have a bank account. So for now I'm using the MoneyCard. Got my second one in the mail, activated it. My purchases have gone through fine but when I try to register my card on their site it says it's not in the system. I tried to call to check my balance and it wont say anything after I enter my card number. This is the first time it's happened. Cant speak to an actual person. Helpline is useless since it needs my 16 digit card number before I can do anything.

    I tried several times to call and check my balance. Still wont say anything after I enter my card number. I tried the other line and the automated voice said it's invalid. It also says my birth date is invalid? I'll check at an ATM but I'm still concerned. Cant find anything on their FAQ about it besides to call those lines or go to your account but it wont let me register my card. My only other option is to write them a letter. I need a bank account but for now I'm not sure what to do. I dont want to purchase anything until I get this resolved. I've read reviews of frozen and blocked accounts for seemingly no reason. Very concerned and the bare minimum of help is being offered. It's difficult to trust it at this point. The whole thing feels like a scam. What do I do? Is there something I just overlooked? Thanks.

    I lost my Walmart MoneyCard about a month ago. I asked for rushed shipping on my replacement card since all of my money was literally with this account. They charged me extra for this of course, but when it came 3 or 4 days later, I tried to activate it, only to be told that there was a block on it, and I'd have to submit a photo of my driver's license on both sides, then wait 2 business for them to approve the photo. Needless to say after about a week+ of me submitting photos that they didn't approve, they finally approved on the day after my newest direct deposit had been added onto it. It was such a hassle for them to finally allow me access to my own money.

    Last night I booked 2 rooms at a hotel to celebrate a family member's 50th Birthday. I get to the hotel to check in, and OMG Walmart has put yet another block on my card, and I'm being told that I have to once again submit a photo of my driver's license, wait 2 more business days (at the least), and hope like hell that they approve my photo so that I can have access to my freaking money. I'm dumbfounded now because I didn't report this new card lost or stolen. So why is there a block on it? And why can't I talk to a live person when I call to complain? I didn't learn my lesson the last time, but this time I sure have. How freaking embarrassing to be told that my card has been denied during check-in.

    Original Review: Oct. 19, 2017

    I am just done with this whole thing. I have had this card for a while. I put money on it to save for a special occasion and when I went to use the card, it was all gone. Someone had stolen the number and used it to buy stuff. I called and the lady was nice, she was very helpful and she started the process to dispute the transactions. I filled out the paperwork and a month later got a letter saying I had gotten my money back. That was the good part. The awful part is that, because of this whole thing, they sent me a new card and blocked my old one so no one could do this again. But, my new one is blocked as well and the money is on the old card.

    I have spent the last three weeks calling every day to try to get through to someone. I can't talk to anyone because my card is blocked and that's all the information needed to know, apparently. The automated system just tells me to send in a picture ID. Why? These people don't know me from Adam. I just want to talk to someone so that they can cancel both cards and just send me my money back. I was originally going to put the money on the new card but this whole debacle has made me decide to just cancel them both. I can find another way to set my money aside for a special occasion that won't have me dealing with all this again.

    Direct deposit goes to card. Had $370 on card. Go to a hotel to pay $360 balance. Card denied. Card denied again. Lower amount to $320 and it goes through. Now we have to pay the balance in cash. Call the card. $370 was taken. Fight with frontdesk who tells us they do not charge for "accidents" and did not charge anything over the $320. Call the card, wasting 2 TracFone cards. They blame hotel. Go back to the hotel desk and I am given hard copy receipt of what was charged... $320. Call the card again, get a runaround that the hotel is obviously dishonest. I ask for a receipt from the card to be sent to my email. Denied. They don't do that. That should have been a tip off. By this point I have spent 1/2 of a full day's vacation on why I don't have my money.

    Not only is my card $50 short, my cash allotment is $50 short so the hotel would keep the room booked, I'm out $40 in phone cards. I'm out $150. Call the card and I am told that rest assured "somehow" the money should return in 3 days. Asked how they knew that? If the hotel presents a receipt, WalMart denies cardholders to the receipts and then a rep tells me they know the money will return... It seems obvious who committed theft. We have explained this story to no less than 20 agents. We have asked for the fraud department and have been told they have none. We have been disconnected by them every time we called. Now the money DID magically return (when we are already home from vacation might I add). Too little too late.

    The agents now say basically... All's well that ends well. NO! What good is it to have money AFTER vacation? Why did you steal and make me lose not only all that cash I could have enjoyed spending (I worked for that many hours), everyone on the trip is now grumpy, 6-7 hours was wasted, we now look bad for having the card declined when the money was there and the WalMart card agent told me to confront the desk (when we did, they showed us the receipt) and BTW, crow does NOT taste good. Today I am told the WalMart services will NOT send me any email in regards to this. Obviously they know they committed fraud and will not put it in writing. I am also told not to complain because the money is back. They also put me through massive interrogation because I want a receipt and they want to know why. Why?? Because it's my money, my card, my account, my loss, and best yet... MY RIGHT. WalMart needs to change policy.

    I cannot "borrow" your money without permission. Illegal. I cannot take your car, wreck it, return it, apologize, and question why you want to press charges. If that is possible, long term everyone in prison would be set free after they apologized. It is only fair that WalMart reimburses us for 1/4 of our stay. Our room was over $500 per night in season. We stayed 3 nights. They ruined $400. The attractions we did not have money to see (because our card was stolen from, and then our cash had to pay the hotel) and the memories we could have made are priceless. Too late to give us the stolen funds when we are home. Parents are older now and who knows if we will ever make this trip as a family again? Let's add the $50 in cash, the $40 in phone cards, the incident at the hotel desk (not less than 6 times).

    All because WalMart needed to "borrow without asking" we are out over $1000, not including memories, our yearly enjoyment on vacation, stress, reputation, no phone minutes until the 3rd of November (let's hope we don't need the phone for an emergency because we will be seeking damages from WalMart), and countless wasted hours on the phone. At least the agents get paid to lie about why they lied to begin with. I don't. PLEASE learn from this. DO NOT PURCHASE A WALMART MONEY NETWORK CARD! We are assuming that if WalMart really needed $50 so badly they had to steal ours, they have to be in some money troubles themselves. BAIL!!! I was assured today from their agent that if I go online I will see the charge of $320 and I will see the deposit of $48.

    Glad she was at least honest enough to admit, 3 days after a ruined vacation, that the hotel only charged what they were supposed to. I'm sure I will see it, I have hard copy hotel receipts, but what they will not let me see is when the hotel charged $360 because it never happened. I will not see who deposited the $48 because I know it was not the hotel. It was from the ruthless criminals that took it and I'm sure those responsible are not interested in leaving paper trails. I know I have proper and accurate recording from the hotel. Put your deposits in a bank. Banks are not afraid of giving receipts, they pay you interest, they are not reported in 16 states about fraud, they are in the states and have branches near you, many will offer incentives for opening accounts, the list goes on and on...

    Ok, so let me tell you. I did a money transfer from my bank to the Walmart bank because they told me it would take two business days to complete a bank to bank transfer. So two days go by and no funds whatsoever. I call my bank and they tell me the funds were already deposited. I call Walmart to see where is my money!!! So tell me why they (Walmart) provided me with the wrong account/routing number and had my funds sent to a card I have NOT had in years!!! I didn't even know this card was still active. So now I have to wait 7 business days to get this card in the mail that I didn't even know I had all because they provided me with old information. Never again will I transfer ANY of my funds into this bank! They don't even have expedited shipping and customer service no help at all. It's like they don't care about what's going on in your life... I wouldn't recommend this card service to anyone!!!

    Walmart MoneyCard froze and wont give me my money. So I'm very upset. Two weeks ago I noticed a lot of money missing from my account spent halfway across the country in California over a month's time. $1890 worth of transactions from 31 transactions. I called and filed fraud charges on the phone as I'm from Minnesota. They said they would put my remaining balance on a new card and after the investigation which I'd assume would last a week would then put the money stolen from me on the card as well. They finally sent me a new card and I can't activate the new card. I tried online and on the phone. Won't let me activate it. So I log in online and it shows my account is frozen with my remaining balance of what was in my account that was not spent or stole.

    Now my huge problem which makes me irate Is I keep trying to call to figure out a solution but I can't get thru to an actual human because my card is frozen. So pretty much I have no way of contacting them with questions about MY money. This is the most frustrating thing ever. Thousands involved between the fraud and frozen money. And can't I activate my new card and have my money on it.

    I called customer service to report my card lost. The rep told me that I could not do this over the phone that I had to go online. So I went online Saturday 10/7/17 to report my card lost and I also changed my mailing address due to a recent move. The next day I opened my Walmart app to check my balance to make sure if the amount I had left. I was unable to do so because it was blocked. My first call to customer service was that following day. I was told my card was blocked due to suspicious activity...

    At this point I'm like, "What suspicious activity, I only called my card in lost and changed my address." However, they informed me that they could not tell me because it did not state the reason why. There is also a language barrier because I was speaking with a foreigner. I explained to the representative that I need my money for gas and food and I defended my money from my card. To no avail I was not given the support I needed and preceded to become angry. So mad that I cried because this is the only monies that I have. I'm a single, full time student. I then hang up the phone. I checked my email and they required identity verification and requested my driver's license. I attached my document but it required my card number. I entered my card number and many times it stated that it was an invalid card.

    So I then call customer service back and explains to her that I cannot send the required information to that email address. She then gives me another address to send. I attached my driver's license and called back as instructed. Now, this representative told me that he could not find it. I told him I sent it and called back as instructed. He told me that it takes two business days to verify. I told him that I was not happy and I knew that they could verify it because the rep before me told me so.

    I was then put on hold. When the representative returned, he told me that my verification failed and my card has been cancelled. At this point I'm very frustrated. I'm in a new city with no money. I called back I think that following Tuesday. Spoke with a representative and he told me that my card was mailed and I will have to call back to have them take the block off my card... I haven't received my card yet and anticipating more drama in the future. This is a complete disappointment to me because I have been with money card since 2013. I have had thousands of $ deposited from school, work and side jobs. And for this to happen at this critical time in my life, transitioning to a new city in Texas, school and now no money is a headache. And every number I've found online to speak to their hierarchy, I'm always rerouted to the customer service. I want this situation resolved like yesterday. As to I will soon be homeless...

    Reason for any review is customer service. I've had Walmart MoneyCard at least 5+ years; it has served me well. Recently, I needed to change my email & have my password reset. I used to call customer service and receive assistance from tech support. Now as a Walmart Money cardholder who wants to change email or cell info, I'm told I MUST order a new card. People change cell numbers and email addresses all the time. In this technology-based age, what customer orders a new card every time a change needs to be made to the profile?

    I can understand ordering new card if it's lost or stolen. Also, why can't the change be done online by completing a form? In the past, this card has served my purpose on many occasions. Ordering a new card isn't conducive to how I'm needing to conduct business for my life simply because I want to make a simple change. After I finish using my next deposit on my card, I'll be contacting customer service to cancel my account.

    I made three online transfers. The first went through with no issue. I got an error message on the second transaction stating the transaction was declined. I know this shouldn't have happened and assumed I entered the wrong security code. I did the transaction again. The same thing happened. I checked my checking account and all three transactions had been debited. When I explained this to the CSR, I was first asked it was a QVC transaction that was declined. I again explained this was regarding an online transfer. Finally she understood it was not a debit transaction I was questioning and proceeded to tell me that the transaction had gone through. She was partially correct, one had gone through. I explained the situation several more times, each time explaining I had received a message stating each transaction had been declined.

    I explained that the funds had been deducted from my checking account so it was odd that the transaction would show as declined. She kept repeating that the funds were not transferred onto card. I knew this. It was why I called. Finally she put me on hold to "check her resources". She came back and told me it takes 24 hours for a transfer to be credited. I asked why the first one went through and why every other time I have done multiple transactions, they all went through immediately. She merely kept repeating it takes 24 hours for a transfer to post. She attempted to tell me that the reason the first transaction was posted was because the account had updated overnight. Impossible as I had made the transfer than an hour prior. I told her I would wait the 24 hours but my concern was that the transactions are showing as declined, not pending.

    At some point she finally understood I had gotten a message that the transactions were declined. She then proceeded to tell me that this was a technical problem and she would have to create a ticket for technical team to handle. I mentioned that I had been saying that I got a message that the transactions were declined since the first sentence I said to her. She said she was sorry. She didn't understand. I haven't had contact customer service often but each time has been a issue where a transaction took, I was charged for the transaction but the funds didn't make it to the account. Each time the situation could have been handle better and more quickly if the person could understand and speak English.

    It seems my card is not fully active and need help with this issue. I have tried contacting customer support via their phone # numerous times and days with no luck, can never access a live person. Not having access to a live agent is very concerning. I have also tried emailing for help via the website and receive a "We cannot process your request at this time".

They say they're not able to connect a call to that particular department. Me knowing that's not true I told the representative that was not true and it continued on. I finally got to someone. They said they would have to file a dispute meaning waiting 10 business days so I waited. They denied it. On top of everything else they took 170.00 from me that I never received and that was in February.

I was compromised twice with my cards in the last six years at both times were legit fraudulent charges and they never ever sided with me. So I have shredded my card. I will not give him my business. They don't deserve my business. I want a company that stands by your customer not standing in front and don't do anything. This is ridiculous money scheme. So if you want to lose your money and someone gets in your account and spends all your money you're screwed. Plain and simple because they're not going to help you one bit. Believe me don't do business with them.

And to top it off you can't even talk to a live person. I want my money off the card. I don't want the card anymore. It shouldn't take this long. I've had cards before. This is BS seriously.

    I went into a Walmart store and bought the card... I loaded $40 to the card as I tried to activate the card it told me my information wasn't verified and since I haven't been able to use the card. Upon numerous tries, I've came up with NOTHING. I don't understand how they can't verify my account but can take $5 the very next day for service fees when I've only had the card for a day. I'm so upset that Walmart has let me down once AGAIN.

    I received this card as a gift, and instantaneously assumed it was a gift card. Whenever I attempted to register the card, the MoneyCard website would crash or simply tell me to wait 24 hours. I decided to use the customer service number and register my card. However, when a random associate asked various verification questions, he recorded the WRONG answers and not the answers that I repeatedly told him. I am now unable to use my card internationally or online; I cannot reload the card or withdraw money; if the card is stolen or lost there is no way to redeem the money on the card. The only way I will be able to use this card is in person (and apparently I only have 2 days to use the card) due to one person's error. In addition, there seems to be no way for me to contact another associate or redo the survey test with a Customer Service representative who understands me.

    While I've always sent a direct deposit of a small amount to this card, Typically I received my deposits every other Tuesday around 12pm EST no later than 1PM, last pay my deposit got on by around 5am on a Wednesday. This pay I stupidly decided to send my whole paycheck and I don't see anything. I called and they said they don't hold the funds and they make them available as soon as they receive it. I think it's hogwash because how does the times keep changing and I work for USPS and not a private organization, and they submit their payroll in on time.

    I've been looking at these horrendous reviews about accounts being compromised and frozen. Appears to be lack of communication and I just keep seeing the same generic responses from someone from the company with unanswered questions and insincere apologies that seem contrived. I have rent and bills to pay, I can't keep taking a risk with this card not being consistent. Since they joined up with Green Dot the service has been terrible. Someone from the FTC needs to investigate this because no one deserves to have their money unaccounted for without having logical explanations and customer service that goes beyond the extent to make their customers happy. But what do I know? I'm just a customer without his money.

I called back to dispute the other transactions later on within a week. Both claims were denied because they were trying to say I added onto a dispute claim that was already in the process of being disputed which wasn’t true. I provided police reports and CCTV footage of the incident and they are still being denied and the transactions totaled up over $1000. If you want your money protected don’t go to this company.

Then when I sent them a copy my driver's license they closed the card and said I would not be able to open another card. 750 dollars is a lot of money for them to just close the card and not give back to me.

    I have had a Walmart MoneyCard for several years, and I like the convenience. But something I have noticed over the years is that money keeps VANISHING from my account with no explanation. It's happened MANY TIMES over the years. I have never complained because most of the time it's just a few dollars at a time. A few times I believe it's been as much as $30.

    I have my paycheck deposited so it's never a monthly fee. This is happening from behind the scenes. Those working in the bank that supports the Walmart MoneyCard. They're robbing me! It happens about once every quarter, several times a year. Most of the time it's not enough for me to wail about, but it's happening and I have noticed it. I don't know what to do about it. This is an inside bank robbery of customers, probably done by the data entry operators. What can I do about it?

    Original Review: Sept. 28, 2017

    I wasn't going to comment about my situation until I read a handful of other reviews from people that were sadly unfortunate to have had the same problem as I have recently had. Let me start off by saying that I have been a Walmart MoneyCard holder for over 3 years without any issues whatsoever. I had gotten my veterans benefits, and financial aid refunds from school direct deposited to my MoneyCard account, for the whole time that I had the account without any issues.

    The problems started when my checks from the VA would start posting to my account very early; up to a week before it was scheduled to post on the 1st of the month. This started in December of 2016. I was initially shocked and confused by it, but chalked it up to the bank just letting loyal, long-term customers like me have access to their funds early, so I didn't say anything about it. This happened every month following that month, where my checks would be deposited 4-6 days early, and I eventually got used to it, and started expecting my money to come early every month.

    Fast-forward to July of 2017, I was suddenly locked out of my account online. It kept saying that the answers to my security questions were not correct, and that my information was invalid. I knew that was wrong, because I had been signing into my account with the same information for over 3 years with no problem. So I tried to call the customer support line to talk to someone about this problem. You have to enter in your card information before you can even speak with someone, so after I entered my card information, the automated voice told me that the card that I entered was 'active' and 'ready to use', before disconnecting the call. This made no sense to me, so I tried to call back and again, after entering in my card information in order to talk to someone, I was told by the automated system that my card was 'active' and 'ready to use', before it disconnected the call again.

    I tried to remain calm, and assume that there must be some problem with their system, so I eventually gave up trying to speak with someone. Things got worse when I was suddenly unable to check my balance via the mobile text system. I had been checking my balance this way forever, and never had any issues with it. When I tried to check my balance with the text system it told me that it didn't recognize my number. I was very confused, and at this point, getting very frustrated with these sudden inconveniences. I was still able to use my card to make purchases, and conduct ATM transactions, so I figured I should be fine; but the only way I was able to check my balance was to go to an ATM, which was very frustrating.

    I knew something had to be wrong, but I was unable to speak with any customer representative to figure out what it was, and was unable to sign into my account online. It was as if I was completely shut off from any kind of support from Green Dot whatsoever. On Aug 25, 2017 I was finally able to speak to a customer rep concerning my issues. The customer rep sounded of foreign origin, as she had a very heavy Middle Eastern accent, which made it very difficult to understand her at times. I have nothing at all against people from different countries, but when I am seeking customer service I prefer to speak with someone who speaks clear English, or at least someone who can speak clearly.

    Well, after telling her the issues that I was having with not being able to sign into my account online and not being able to check my balance through the text system, she informed me that I had ordered a replacement card on July 27 because of a missing or damaged card. I couldn't believe my ears. I had never ordered a replacement card, and I never even received any notification that I had ordered a new one, so I had been unaware of it until then when she told me. She said that the card was activated, but how is that when I never even received it??

    It was clear that my account had been compromised. So I told her to please deactivate that card, and to put a block on the account so that my direct deposit would not be able to go into the account. I was expecting my check from the VA to go into my account very soon, since it was the 25th, and I knew that since I had been getting the money more than a few days early ever since December, that it would be due to hit the account any day. I was so distraught and stressed by the possibility of someone else getting my money that I broke down and begged the customer service rep to please block the account to prevent the money from being stolen. I am a single mom of a 6 year old daughter, with absolutely no one else to depend on for money. My only source of income is my veterans benefits, and I have been living paycheck to paycheck, and really needed that money.

    So after putting me on a frustratingly long hold, the customer service rep ensured me that they had not received my direct deposit yet, and that they had deactivated both cards and the account, so that the check would bounce back to the VA, and be sent to me as a check. Believing that they blocked the account, I threw my card away and tried to be calm as I awaited for my check to be mailed to me. I even tried to take extra measures by calling the VA and informing them of what happened, and tried to see if they could possibly stop the direct deposit. They told me that it had already been processed on the 21st, and that once it is processed, there would be nothing that they could do to stop it. They told me that my bank would have to close the account to prevent the check from going into it, and that was what I had done, so all I could do was wait.

    On Monday the 28th, something was not right with my spirit, and I felt the need to call the customer service line to make sure that the account was still blocked. I knew that if the account was still open, that the direct deposit from the VA would have went into the account that day. To my absolute horror, when I called, I discovered that there was a balance of 14 dollars on my card. That was not right!! My card had a zero balance on the 25th when I had called in to deactivate the card... so I knew that had to have meant that my direct deposit from the VA had somehow went into the account. I was besides myself with rage... disbelief... AGONY. I couldn't believe it.

    When I spoke with a customer service rep she informed very nonchalantly that I had called and had the block removed. What??!! How?? She was very cold, uncaring, and her foreign accent did not make it any easier since I had to struggle to understand her. I told her that I never called to lift the block!! How could you guys have let this happen?? How can someone so easily call and have a security block that is meant to prevent this from happening, removed??!! And to make it worse, the person that called was able to drain the account, totally. There were 6 ATM transactions that were made somewhere in Miami Florida, all totaling to the entire amount of my check of $1,950. How was that even possible? I couldn't even make that many withdrawals for that amount in one day. There was a limit. Yet someone in Florida could? I just could not understand it. I don't live in Florida, by the way, I live in Illinois.

    So I filed a dispute with the customer service rep for all of the transactions, and she told me to complete a dispute form, have it signed and sent to Green Dot. She told me that it would take two weeks for them to complete the investigation, and if I was granted my money back, it would take another 2 weeks for them to mail it as a check. That is insane. I still have not received a check and it is almost October.

    So I and my 6 year old daughter have been without any money for this entire month of September because of this situation. I have not been able to pay any of my bills, my phone is off, and we have had to go to food pantries to keep some food in the house. This has been the hardest situation that I have had to go through, and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. When I tried to call the customer service line to check on the status of my claim, I was unable to speak to anyone because my card number was officially deactivated. The only information that the automated system gave me was that a check for the remainder of the balance of $5, was sent to an address in Florida, without giving the name of the street, before disconnecting.

    It is clear that I won't be getting one cent of my money back. I am in the process of looking for a lawyer so that I can file a lawsuit against Green Dot. The pain and suffering that this has caused me is unprecedented. I am in awe and utter disbelief that this has happened to others and nothing has been done about it. These people can't keep getting away with doing this to people!! At the very least, Walmart should be held accountable for sponsoring this Green Dot Bank. Please, if you are considering getting a Walmart MoneyCard, don't. You will save yourself a lot of heartache, pain and suffering from the terrible customer service, and insufficient security that they have to offer.

    UPDATED ON 10/25/2017: I really hate to have to write another negative review on here, but I am left with no other choice since I am not able to speak to anyone about my refund. On October 5th, I was promised by a Green Dot representative by the name of Daniel, that my dispute claim was granted, and that a check would be mailed to me. He said that it would take 2 weeks. It is going on 3 weeks and I STILL haven't received the check. I have tried to call him numerous times at the number he reached me from, and I have repeatedly left voicemails, none of which have been returned. I really would like to be able to mark my previous review as resolved, and move on from this, but I am getting frustrated because I was promised my money back over 2 weeks ago. What is going on??

    So I called Walmart Money Card the other day to let them know that I had to unauthorized transactions on my card. I asked the lady to send me a new card and she told me it would be here within 7 days, well the card did arrive in about 4 days. But when I try to activate it, it said that it was blocked and that I had to send a driver's license or some other form of ID in order to unblock it. I did that today and then I was trying to call them to see if they received it and then I get a totally different message that says my account is closed and I will no longer be able to add money to it or receive deposits. My military pay is going into that account and I have bills to pay and I don't know what in the heck is going on!

    I don't think that Green Dot understands that they need to have more live personnel available to speak to people. If people trust you enough to put their direct deposit into a Green Dot account then you guys should be telling people what is going on so that they have other ways to be able to pay their bills and not deal with this. You guys are very wrong for doing that and you need to provide correct information as well as live phone lines where people can get questions answered. People trust Walmart and it is a shame that is much money as you guys make there's always someone out there to cheat the little guys.

    I was informed about the Wal-Mart Moneycard by a Money Services employee. She loaded money onto the card and told me that it was ready to use and that I could register it online to receive a permanent one. Well, I registered it online and now I cannot use it at all. The paperwork that came with it says that I should be able to use it just like a regular debit card. That was 2 days ago. I have been calling every number I could find relating to Wal-Mart's Moneycard services and I finally reached someone today. She said that there was a glitch in the system and that my information could not be verified. So not only can I not use the card but I cannot withdraw my money either. On top of that, they took their $5.75 maintenance fee for a card that cannot be used. I don't care if I have to shout it from the mountaintops, I will tell everyone what you are doing to me Walmart!

    I've been a customer many years. I've never had a problem with this card. Until now! Everything was fine until I had my card information stolen and the thieves took over $500 from my card. First of all, they had the nerve to charge me to replace my card. Then, they told me that they weren't going to honor some of the charges I disputed. Mind you, I canceled my card immediately (the same day) I discovered the charges were made, and went for days without money while waiting for the new card because I only had $20 cash in my wallet when I discovered that my card information had been compromised.

    For one of my disputes, they told me to go back to the merchant myself to see if I could get the money back that way. Un-freaking-believable! Those people blatantly lied to me and took my money off my card anyway for a service that I never got, and you think they'll be honest if I go back? I even sent them the supposedly "voided" receipt the merchant gave me before blatantly running the charge anyway.

    Do yourselves a favor and go get a real bank account if you can. I have trusted these people with thousands of my dollars, and the one time I was taken advantage of, I couldn't count on them to protect me or my money. I have an account with Wells Fargo, and had this money been there it would have been protected, guaranteed, and given back with zero liability as long as they could prove I didn't do it. It sucks that these bootleg banks can issue cards and take your money for maintenance fees, but they don't guarantee you any protection if anything goes wrong. My money is going to Wells Fargo, that is where some of my money is now, and that is where it will stay until I can finish getting it all off this card. After that, I'm either canceling this card completely, or I'll keep it for basic online transactions only. I use it to buy my school textbooks.

    These cards also leave you open to attack when they have your balance printed in big black numbers on the bottom of all your receipts. Who's idea was that? I would prefer to check my own balance not have it put on display for broke people who think it's okay to steal from others who have money because they don't. If that's not enough, I found out that these Walmart cards are all under a binding arbitration agreement. In other words, you can't sue them, take them to court, or join any class action lawsuits. All you can do is rely on their kindness. It's up to them to DECIDE what they want you to have, IF ANYTHING AT ALL.

    I urge you all to protect your money. Cards like these should only be used temporarily and for small amounts. I am a graduate student who has been in school many years. I've saved my money wisely, along with work-study and scholarships, which is how I get my refund checks. I am preparing to relocate to another state next year, so I need ALL my money. You would think I would have known better than this. Do not make the same mistakes I did.

    On September 16, 2017, I dialed into my money support number and learned my account had been hacked. I immediately called the number and clicked the option for my card being compromised. The person told me I had let someone use my card. I said, “No, I keep my card with me at all times.” They said I gave the numbers to someone. No I didn't. The support unit refuse to file a fraud claim and said I had to wait until it post to call back. I asked for executive resolution and they said they had completed the ticket but they never took my number. I said, “You have no number, how are you calling me back?” They then asked for the number and disconnected the call.

    I call to the support number and they closed my card. They promised to expedite the card for free. I called the support number and card had been sent regular mail, allow up to two weeks for delivery. I was told to contact merchant where my card was used, they could help me. It was used as a credit in Granada Hills, California at a Rite Aid store on Zelzah Avenue. I called their number 818-360-8411. They say they only run credit when person have ID. My ID is in my wallet. They unable to help. I call the Walmart Debit Card Support back. My numbers have been taken out of the system, it does not recognize any of my numbers. I cannot speak to anyone. My payroll check is coming to a compromise account and I cannot get any info.

    This card had my light bill money. All of my utilities will be disconnected. I am 65 with no family. I will be homeless behind this incident. I can get information to file a police report. I live in Kentucky, the charge was in California. The thieves had made several attempts. No one contacted me to advise me about these attempts. I have direct deposit and I have text messages linked to my mobile number. They could have called or text. They did neither. I will be looking for an attorney to assist me if this results in me being homeless. If you know an attorney who specializes in this type of case let me know.

    Honestly I have had the card for 9 years now. I haven't had an issue until this year. I would say the last 3 years I made that my go to card and did away with the bank altogether. Now I haven't had issues until the past year, but every issue was not handled! I am shocked. First, they cashed a check in August 2017 that was written in December of 2016. Outrageous. No need to get into detail with the 2 week process and headache that was. Green Dot corporate had to get involved. A few weeks later my card had be swiped. This has happened only once before. The previous time this happened they credited my account same day sent a card out no issues. Now my card has not be swiped in quite some time, so maybe the protocols changed because this year was different. I received a new card yes, but my money was never returned. They completed an “investigation" and was denied.

    I couldn't speak to any superior. I was told there are no superiors in the office at first. Then I was told I am speaking with a superior and then she hung up on me. Thanks Pam. I filed the dispute again. Spoke to someone later and was pretty much told to do my own investigating. Not sure what she wants me to do? I called the merchants and was told to take it up with WMMC...

    This card is horrible now that I have actually had to deal with a issue. I would recommend this card as a backup card if you don't care about money. If you don't mind losing a couple hundred here and there, and can afford it then by all means use this card as a backup. Unfortunately I do not have that kind of extra money to play with and will no longer use the card. They do not stand behind what they say. They cashed a check beyond 90 days, they let your accounts get phished and used and don't care to return your hard earned money. Customer service, horrible. I had a few people who were helpful during the whole few weeks of a headache, but most of them were unhelpful. STEER CLEAR. There are many other cards out there. LIQUID CARD BY CHASE...

    Need to eliminate the 3 dollar fee every time I put money on my card, and I even have direct deposit from my job. There shouldn't be another fee for adding more to the card. Other than that the card is excellent.

    I love the card for internet purchases. I never worry about someone gaining my account number and using the card, I only load the card when I’m about to purchase something. I do feel the 3 dollar a month service charge and a 3 dollar loading fee is excessive. I think if the card is only going to be used for internet purchasing there should only be a 3 dollar loading fee is.

    I setup a Wal-Mart Money Card account and verified my personal information. After I activated my card and deposited money they blocked my account. I called the card customer service number and they said they would give me a call back within 4 hours. They never did, and when I called back they said they would give me a call back within 24 hours. Now they have my money blocked from me using it and won't give me any reason why they did it.

    Updated on 10/06/2017: My account with Walmart MoneyCard was blocked, I had it unblocked now and had a balance of $543. They then took $500 off my account closed my account with $43 and now I can't talk to anyone at customer service cause they closed my account and have no access to my money that they are using to draw interest. They refuse to release me my money thinking of filing a class action lawsuit against Walmart and Green Dot bank cause what they are doing is illegal.

    The Walmart Money Card is an extremely convenient debit card to have. I get paid two days earlier than before and that helps with paying my bills before the due date. When I need to take money off of my card all I have to do is go to the customer service desk at my local Walmart and take the money off. The fantastic thing about this is that I do not have to go to an ATM and withdraw my money and get charged a fee for using the bank's ATM. There are no fees charged to me for withdrawing my money. Another great advantage to this card is that when I use my debit card to purchase gas from Murphy USA gas station I get a percentage back and so far I have close to $35 dollars that I will be getting back next month. There are plenty of advantages to this card. I recommend getting this card.

    Was a customer for five years. Anytime I needed to call and talk to a person it would take numerous calls explaining the same thing over and over before a resolution. The last instance of money being electronically transferred from my account through their website without my knowledge made me not want to do any business with them ever again. I had to call three times that day to get someone to take action.

    A week later I had to call to find out the resolution, the agent said they found it to be fraudulent and would credit my account (that had been closed for safety). I asked how could this happen and they assured me I would receive a check in the mail in two weeks. This was four weeks ago and no check just a letter saying my account would be credited. I've tried to call them but with no open account. I cannot get passed the automated system. There is no way to speak to a person at this point. I wouldn't recommend anyone use this service.

    I have repeatedly had very bad experiences with customer service on my Walmart Green Dot Visa card account. The most recent experience has left me without my paycheck for a month! It started with 2 emails. The first informed me that my challenge questions had been changed. The second said that someone else had transferred every dollar of my account to an email account I did not recognize. (I did not even know such a transfer was possible nor do I understand why it was allowed.

    Two weeks later, my account closed, next paycheck hits. No help. They tell me they will send me a check for the first paycheck and refuse the second. They also told me they would send a letter regarding the resolution of this dispute which I haven/t received yet. It has been 2 weeks since they "borrowed" the first paycheck and my next one is due to hit the account they closed today. I have now been without a paycheck for 2 weeks and they tell me it will be 2 more until they get one back to me. How many of you can do without your paycheck for over a month without MASSIVE problems. Thanks a lot Walmart MoneyCard but, NO THANKS. My future paychecks will go elsewhere -- probably my online and in-store shopping as well. I will tell others, including the FTC!

    I have been the cardholder of one of the black Walmart prepaid Visa cards for well over 4 years. It's personalized and thats one of the many perks with this card. As long as you load $500 within each 30 day period then the $3 monthly maintenance fee is waived. With paychecks being direct deposited then it is highly likely you'll never have to pay that charge. The main perk, I'm literally paid 2 days before my coworkers and even bosses! Reloading is free. Daily balance alerts straight to my cell phone via text message.

    They froze our paychecks, right after getting them. I have been using a Walmart money card (Green Dot Bank) as my bank account. I have almost $1600 in there. I tried using my card at the store on 8-16-17, and was declined. I called customer service, (not U.S. based) and was told I should put my groceries away, because corporate is closed until 5 am Pacific time. I am in Hawaii. I waited until 2am my time, and called again. After being on hold for 1 hour and 17 minutes, they finally answered. Went through the runaround, and finally got transferred to "Joseph." He told me per their rules and regulations I either made too many deposits or used too much of my own money, and my account is frozen. I asked him if he could place me in a spend down status, instead of frozen, so I could at least access my funds. He said no. Then said he cannot release the hold on my funds either.

    I asked him if he could transfer me to whoever does it, so I can take the steps needed to get my money unfrozen. He said no. He was very rude. Asking me, "What is it you don't understand here" and when I told him I had kids to feed, and that $1600 Is my only money, his response was, "That is not my problem." He told me he may get back to me in 2 days, meanwhile, I have no access to my money. He said he had to call the compliance department. When I asked for their number, he told me they will not accept outside calls.

    I asked to please speak to a different manager, and he told me he was the highest manager and that everyone else would tell me the same thing. Then he refused to transfer me to anyone else. As it stands, they are still holding my almost $1600 hostage, keeping my account frozen. I have 3 kids, and we cannot use our money. It is as if we do not have a penny to our names. It is after hours on 8-19-17, the day after he said he would call me and he never did. My funds are not released. All I want is either my funds released, or to be put into "spend down" status, or my account closed and a check for my funds mailed to me.

So I sent a letter by snail mail to the concerns department address for Wal-Mart giving them a detailed breakdown of what happened, which was as follows: I received an email saying my security questions had been changed which I did not do. I tried to log in online to see what happened and my password had also been changed without my authorization. No one has access to my card and my password was both long and unusual. The email also included an IP address of the point of origin.

    I talked to the Knoxville Walbur Ave. Wal-Mart manager, Rebecka, who had no idea how to help me and refused to let me speak to a higher level of management despite my being calm about the matter. She actually refused to give me the manager's contact info. She just kept saying follow the instructions from the automated number. So I did, which closed my account but only afterwards did I realize it not only did nothing to help me but locked me out of the account and the remaining $3 I had in it.

    I filed a police report with Detective Morgan (**). I have a copy of the police report and the email I received about my security questions being changed. I have mailed a letter to the concerns department address of the whole situation, including paying extra to have them sign it so I know it got there, which it did. I have a copy of it as well. If I do not receive a response soon I've already spoken with our family lawyer about legal options against walmart should they do nothing to help and am prepared to take legal action. We can tell Wal-Mart has set up their "help desk" regarding their debit cards in such a way to avoid dealing with any problems that may arise. I am most displeased by this lack of oversight and professionalism from all angles. I will be keeping a copy of this letter as well and I ask for your assistance in this matter.

    We purchased Walmart debit cards 3 years ago and have used the transfer money feature since my husband works out of state and there are no national bank branches in our area to use jointly with ease. This was our best option to be able to transfer money back and forth to one another without high fees from wire transfers. It worked great for the last 3 years and we transfer money almost on a daily basis (small amounts normally and a few large ones a month). Fast forward to today when my husband was on his way back to our state and his work truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. I tried transferring $100 for a place that he can stay overnight until his employer could send help. The creature kept giving me an error message "the transaction could not be completed, sorry for the inconvenience." I had just transferred $20 for his meal a few hours before that.

    I waited and tried again and after receiving the same message I called customer service. I reached a call center obviously outsourced to India. The woman spoke very poor hard to understand broken English. She just kept telling me that they were waiting for updates to go through from the technical team. Any time I asked her any question I got the same exact reply as before. She was reading from a pre-approved template of answers obviously. So I hang up and call back praying the next one would speak clearer English. I reached someone finally in the US and her answer floored me. I was spoken to very rudely and told that the transfer money feature was no longer available on the app or the website. When I asked why she said, "due to suspicious activity Corporate office is removing the feature effective immediately."

    I tell her my husband is stranded and could they not at least give their customers 30 days notice before making major changes to their features that we pay for monthly. She told me too bad and to go send a MoneyGram. Yeah that would be a solution IF HE HAD A VEHICLE TO GET THERE and wasn't dead on the side of the road with only a small gas station and motel around for miles! My husband is currently sleeping in his very very hot truck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with no way to protect himself either if something were to happen! This is all because Walmart decided to take away something we as customers have paid for with zero warning! I smell a major lawsuit coming and they better pray nothing bad happens to my husband before he gets home!

    Without even so much as a warning, my account was/still is locked due to "suspicious activity" So I call the number on back of the card. I get told that I actually have to wait for someone to call me. Some case reviewer or something. Meanwhile, this is all happening just as I am getting paid (I have direct deposit). It all started when I tried to log in to my account as usual, But it kept saying my password was wrong. After 5 tries it locked me out totally. And my card gets declined. 2 days and no one has ever called me. It does no good to call them back because you just keep getting the same answer no matter who you talk to. "The case reviewer will call you back tomorrow."

    I’m freaking out here because my whole paycheck went to that card, and no one will even tell me what the hell is going on. I have no cash for anything until this "guy calls me back." Why the hell cant I get any answers from these people? I also got an email that lied to me saying that they forwarded my concern to their "supervisor" and that I should expect a call in 4 hours. Well, that came and went. I will never go through this again. I still have not been contacted!!

    Tried call. Was online for two hours. Didn't get a support help. They deducted 3.00 fee twice in on month. 3.00 on 8/13/17 and again on 8/25/17. 3.00 monthly fee. Not 6 not 10 but 3.00. Why are they doing that and no way to find out.

    I'm disabled and I'm in severe pain 24 hrs per day everyday, so anytime I have to do anything extra it's an effort. I set up direct deposit years ago for my SSA monthly check, therefore I'm not suppose to be charged a monthly fee. Since you started posting these checks "Early" sometimes my acct shows 2 deposits in the same month and none in another month. So, a fee is charged. Getting it corrected is a hassle!
