    The 4th of February 2021 I started getting alerts from my Walmart money card app saying that Tik tok was taking $10 in increments from my account for ads that I never ordered. So I immediately called my money card Walmart money card and they said I had to wait for them to post to dispute the charges which wiped out my card in under 10 minutes which you know I had over $200 on, everything just posted tonight so I will call Walmart and dispute the charges.

    And this part really concerns me. When I called the automated system that I had two cards for the Walmart money app I only have one in my name so they apparently let somebody else pick out a card in my name that apparently of course was not me. The charges from tik tok are from San Francisco California. I live in Pendleton Oregon and also I found out too that they will sell your information so I got on their app and they do not sell my information. So I would like to know how good if their security is that they would issue another card to someone that clearly is not me. This app Walmart money card is not worth it and I will be going through a bank from now on. Not some prepaid card cuz they do not take care of their customers and they sell your information. Thank you for the platform. Beulah **

    I purchased shoes from Footlocker on a Friday and returned the shoes the next day. They didn’t have a larger size. I spent $518. They didn’t have any cash on hand. The associate asked if I had a card to put the money on? So I did. I swiped my Walmart MoneyCard. Ok I’m thinking two days max I’ll have my money. Boyyyyyy was I wrong?!! Later that evening I went to dinner with friends and when it was time to pay it kept declining! I was baffled???? I knew I had like $570 in my account.

    Long story short they blocked my card. After waiting on hold after being hung up on for over an hour. They have me to email them the receipt. They told me to give it two business days. Mind you this was on a Saturday. I sent everything immediately. Then on Monday it was still blocked. I call again just to be told to send in my ID front and back and give it another two days and at that time it should automatically be unlocked. I don’t like the games being played with me. I'm still waiting as we speak for my funds to be released. Never again.

    DO NOT SIGN UP!! I had this account for several years and last week my account was closed without my knowledge due to suspicious activity with a few hundreds of dollars left in it. When I questioned customer care they gave me the run around and then told me they would cut me a check but later said I need to contact my employer who deposited money into my account. My employer informed me that this sounds suspicious and to report the money card customer care line as giving me fraudulent information as a resolution because they wanted me to ask my employer to request the funds back and told me to mail a letter with all my bank account information on it.

    Hey everyone! **AVOID THIS ONLINE BANK INSTITUTION AND PREPAID DEBIT CARDS**. Anything Walmart MoneyCard or Green Dot affiliated is just as bad as being scammed! I've had a debit card account with them for three months and they froze my funds yesterday when I had just gotten paid! The worst part is when I go to resolve the issue to verify my identity, their automated system won't even recognize my card number!?? Just look up all of the customer reviews for yourself here! **

    It's almost criminal what they are doing! I can't even speak to a live representative because all of their customer service is automated! And also! Most people who buy these prepaid debit cards in store and load money onto them in hopes to spend money online, do not activate or have issues activating.. And when it comes time to speak to a representative or customer service, everything is all automated!! And the automated service most of the time doesn't even recognize your account information just like how they are currently treating me! Do you want an automated service to handle your money that you just deposited into?? No online banking institution that handles people's money should be automated this much.

    It's almost impossible to speak to a live representative about your issues! So no my debit card is from and I'm barely surviving and have no way to resolve the issue currently! I have already filed civil complaints with the BBB and two other federal consumer bureaus to the Green Dot Corporation. I will have to send a letter to their corporate office in Pasadena, CA to tell them to resolve my issue and I will also be hiring a lawyer on Monday. I have also written a letter to the local news of Morgantown, West Virginia to help make this all public in hopes that Green Dot Bank will be exposed for how incredibly awful their customer service is!! This would all be avoided if there were easier ways to get help but walmart moneycard makes it a nightmare to receive help in time! PLEASE AVOID THESE DEBIT CARDS EVERYONE. DO NOT PUT YOUR MONEY ON THEM! JUST USE ACTUAL CREDIT UNIONS OR LOCAL BANKS.

    I give this company a negative 0. First I saw a lot of suspicious charge for $1 each. I looked up the name and it says if I see that on my statement I was hacked so of course they closed my account. I said they would send another card. Waited 8 days and it a week before Christmas my son's birthday still no card. Got paid and had no access to my fund. I had to call 13 times to ask about my card. It was processing so then they finally tell me I can pay $15 and get it faster. Ok no worries. So they took $15 and charged me $3 twice for replacement card so I finally get the card and send my son $40 Dec 19th. He never got it. I called. He told me wait 10 days it will go back. Nope. Sure didn't. Now I called back. They are gonna file a dispute and send me something in the mail in 10.. Nope. I will be closing my account and go back to the best bank ever TD Bank.

I've been left out in the cold without access to my own money more times than I care to keep track of and they have yet to be able to explain why. Gas, food, bills have all been denied even when there is money available. I've finally made the final transfer away from using this card ever again and hope to save others the headache. I've used them for more than 5 yrs and not one stellar experience to share. I've had more trouble with them than anyone should have with their card company or financial institution. Garbage company all around, same goes for Green Dot for powering it.

    80.00 was taken off my card. I keep calling... and asking about my refund. I have who took the money off and how much. Which THEY provided that info. Had this card past 4 to 5 years used it to pay bills etc. So about a month ago now I notice money was off my card. Foreign cust. said they would send me a card. They claimed they did, but went to old address so I had to cancel that one too.

    Called so many times... then they said, "We need something to prove your address." Sent that to the e-mail they said... addressupdatecorp something like that. Called again ask to speak to a supervisor. Waited a half-hour... only to be told... they needed my phone number from 4 to 5 years ago?? When I got the card... Said I don't have it. HE said there's nothing he can do...until they get that number?? So I said I will be calling back.

    Called back tonight... only to be asked the amount that was put on my card last?? I said from 4 weeks ago?? I can tell you who I paid and what was left and 80.00 from that was taken. It left me with 4.00 on card when I cancel it. I asked again to speak with the supervisor...GET this!! The woman said, "I CANNOT DO THAT, YOU SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR ALREADY!!!"

    Bottom line I want my 80.00 back on a New Card... that was stolen from across sea.. somewhere and I also got the names of that... How I know? THEY TOLD Me!! Had ask a lawyer friend of mine. They cannot hold your money and I am offering all this proof...except for a phone number I had from 4 to 5 years ago. I need my money... Makes you feel you was robbed twice!!

    I made a reservation through Priceline for a hotel using my Walmart Moneycard. They took payment immediately for the cost of the stay. In the end due to an issue with the hotel, Priceline had canceled the reservation and canceled the charge. 2 days later I inquired to WMC as to when the hold for the amount of the reservation would be released. They advised that if they don't get confirmation from Priceline, it could take 7days+2 to expire. I asked why the +2 days. The typical amount of time for a pending charge to expire is 7 days. WMC advised, it is to verify with the merchant. Which still makes no sense.

    Long story short, I had Priceline verify with WMC that the reservation was canceled and the hold should be lifted. WMC customer service advised that they still had to wait the 7+2. I still don't understand why they keep saying 7+2, rather than saying 9 days. Whenever you contact customer service, you are calling somewhere in India, and their English is horrible, on top of them reading from a script that is written in horrible English. Not one person gave me any information, or even had a conversation that deviated from their script. I am still waiting for the charge to be lifted and we are at day 10 now.

    I finally received my money back.

    Original Review: Oct. 28, 2020

    Updated on 12/27/2020: I was supposed to get my deposit from on the 24. Instead I got a email saying they have received my deposit and it is processing. It will be available on the 31. This has never happened. I didn't even get to buy all 6 of my kids anything for Christmas. And I been a customer for 3 yrs. No one has yet to contact me. I supposed to get my deposit a week early. Untrue. I still don't have my money yet.

    Updated on 10/29/2020: Today is the 29th and I've yet to receive a call from corporate. No one has reached out with my money or given me any thought or what's the next process. I have rent to pay. I'm a single mother. I got paid on the 26th. They took my money on the 26th. They even gave me case numbers confirmation number but no one has yet to speak to me or talk to me about what's going on. My money was took from a country in Greece. I live in Texas. I don't know what's going on but I don't recommend Walmart MoneyCard to anybody. I don't feel like the customer's information is safe. I think someone is taking people's information in their customer service and giving it to other people. Please don't be a victim of Walmart money card. Scam customer service in their company. They say the customers comes first but no one is yet to reach out to me and this is the fourth day with no response.

    Original Review: I am a single mother of five kids. Someone charged my Walmart Money Card 23 times in another country for over 300. I contact Walmart customer service with no help telling me to wait ten days. So I ask to speak with a supervisor and they put me on hold and hang up. I have rent to pay on the 1st. Why do I have suffer because Walmart does not secure its customer's private information. I don't recommend this company or card to anyone. I still have not got a call or my money back.

    I don't understand how they (WALMART MONEY CARD/GREEN DOT) are a financial institution that prides themselves on posting your deposits as soon as they are notified about them but they can't put money back that's in a pending state because the transactions were being denied at the place I was trying to make a on line order from. I have used my debit card to make this same transaction several time since 2017 and have never had this issue before. Customer service reps I have spoke with both times today were completely of NO HELP to me. It's been 3 days with my money just lost in the financial wires and all they can say is have to wait for the transactions to completely post before I can file a dispute. Well that is a problem because the company denied the.

    So as I told the reps as well as the ones from where I was ordering, I am disabled and budget to live in motels through the month and that seems almost impossible without any problems. And now I'm here with .37 to my name and have no idea about where I'm going to stay tomorrow and it is already getting too cold here in Colorado for me because I've had 4 back surgeries. Where is the compassion and humanity towards others? Just don't put all your money with because if things go wrong be prepared to just sit on your hands til they will let you dispute it.

    If I could give 0 stars even negative stars I would. Unbelievable. First of all, my current hold time with customer service is 3 hours so far! I have not received my replacement card and have no access to my money to pay bills. I have had an account with Walmart money card over 10 years. My card expired 09/20 and I have requested my replacement card 4 times! Last one was supposed to be here at the latest by 10/04/2020. They said there was no way for me to get card faster than 10 days though I read online that you can for $15.00 extra, if it was offered as an option I would have gladly pay it. But now I think they should pay to send it now.

    Now all of my payments for bills that come out directly have bounced back and will not go through... including money for rent and my son's birthday was yesterday, That's how I receive my child support and I cannot get to my money. Still on hold... I chatted online with customer service 3 times. Today someone told me to wait 2 more days. I'm so frustrated.

    I am now stranded on the side of the road with no money because GreenDot services put $75 on hold because I paid at a gas pump for $10 worth of gasoline. I called the gasoline company to which they said they did not put $75 on hold. They only try to authorize $1. We called Walmart card services and they tried to blame the merchant to which they were told the merchant can not place money on hold. Only the cardholder services can do this. The man we spoke to did not have anything to tell us except it would no longer be on hold October 23rd. I told them we were traveling and had $0 now. We have no gas and 2 hungry children on the side of the highway because we can’t move without gas. They could care less!

The paperwork included with the card states "We will provide a provisional credit to your registered account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete the investigation."

    I did everything that was asked of me, I sent in the documentation needed within the time needed. I resent the documentation a second time along with proof of the 1st time I sent documentation, I was told they never got my documentation. I got the run around, hung up on, told something is in the mail (I have never received anything) and told my dispute was closed. I signed all the receipts. I will be getting the letter with receipts in the mail (IMPOSSIBLE, never got). It has all been one lie and runaround not to pay back the money I worked hard to get!!

    I had used my Walmart MoneyCard for a hotel stay. The cost of the stay was $163, but this company added a "pending transaction" for $186.48 two days later. That was 31 days ago as of today. They told me that it would be released if the hotel sent confirmation that the funds should be released. The hotel sent me a copy showing that they faxed the Moneycard all of the requested information over 2 weeks ago. They had also claimed that it would be released within 31 days without the confirmation from the hotel. This has not happened.

    I have called them several times, informed them that I was recording the call, and they keep "suggesting" that I jump through more hoops to get my money back. Ie: have the hotel send the confirmation to them, call the hotel again, email the hotel (even though I have the email showing that the information had already been faxed to them), etc. The gentleman that I spoke with today claims that the money will be posted back to my account this evening, but that it's supposedly still WITHIN 31 days. 31 days from 11am on September 5th is 11am on October 6th. We'll see if my money is returned tonight. But I will not recommend this card to anyone. I will be withdrawing the funds (when it is released) and closing this account.

I have rent and bills come off my card, and when my paycheck doesn't post when it should, I get calls and emails about eviction and disconnects. They do not care, it's almost like they have fun with this! I'm done dealing with them, and am closing my account ASAP and moving on to a place that treats their account holders with some respect.

    The Walmart gift card just doesn't work. You need to know the EXACT balance on the card in order to use it: by the penny. Walmart employees cannot look up the balance for you. The only option to obtain the balance is to call the automated system. The gift card doesn't work on the card scanner so you have to manually enter it on the screen.

    Card works good as a gift. As far as I know you can only use it at Walmart. Have not purchased a Walmart gift card so I do not know about the cost. All returns at Walmart all they give you is a card for that store.

    We purchased a Walmart prepaid card for our daughter when she went off to college as there was a walmart in the area and we thought it would work for her food, supplies and they had an auto center there. We had no issues with the card and she used it the entire four years. She did use the ATM option and fees did apply but it came in handy.

    Q1: WHICH PREPAID CARD ARE YOU REVIEWING TODAY?

    A: Walmart Money Card

    Q2: ALMOST DONE, WE JUST WANT YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN REALLY TELL US HOW YOU FEEL. DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR EXPERIENCE PLEASE INCLUDE ENOUGH OF A DESCRIPTION TO BE HELPFUL FOR OTHERS. 100 WORDS USUALLY FITS THE BILL.

    A: It should be easier to load funds to the card. In store cash loads shouldn’t be the only way. You should be able to send money from another credit or debit card. I personally haven’t been too inconvenienced by this, but see where it can be a headache

    This card gets an A+ in my book. Not only are you managing your wallet but you can add up to 4 family members on as well. The card also pays 2 percent cashback. It's great to show your kids how to spend and save. You can track what and how your family is spending. The Walmart Money Card also has an app for ages 13 and up. It teaches responsibility for your teens to learn now so they know how to be responsible as adults. All around you can't go wrong with this card and it's reloadable. I recommend this card for the whole family.

    I have used my Walmart money card for over 6 years. I loved that I was able to customize my card with a baby picture of my son. My bank wouldn't give me a debit card so this was my best option at the time. I kept the card because I had the numbers memorized which was great. Then one day, I used my card to help my son purchase some car parts. He returned them and the store wasn't able to split the return onto two cards so I had it all put on mine. Well wrong choice coz Walmart put a block on my card so not only do I have access to the $522 refund, I don't have access to my money that was already on there. I've sent in all the documents/receipts they have asked for. They keep saying it will take 2 business days to verify. It's been 10 days!! I've called so many times and can't get anyone on the phone that knows what's going on. I've been told 3 times a supervisor would call me back, but they never do!

    Once my card is unlocked, I am pulling all of my money... IF I ever get my $1100 back!!! I am so frustrated that I can't talk to anyone. They say you can email and chat in their site. Nope, there isn't an email listed and the chat only has like 10 pre-printed sentences for you to choose from... you aren't able to write your own question. I filed a complaint with the better business bureau today. We'll see if that does any good! I'm also calling the attorney general tomorrow because this is beyond ridiculous!

    I purchased this Walmart visa card at a Walmart store 12 days ago, I registered it the same day it was purchased and I was told it will be under review for two days. Since then I called customer service back and forth maybe 15 times but I was told they cannot access my personal information and to try to register again. Either with my laptop or phone app. After 10 attempts to register my card the answer was the same. "The card will be under review for two days." I spoke over the phone with representatives of Green Dot Bank technical support and sent copies of my card front and back, copies of my registration application and the review note produce after registration. They claimed it seems to be a mistake in my application and it will be processed and corrected in two days (that was 4 days ago).

    I called to check the status and I was informed that seems to be a problem with the info I provided but wasn't informed what was the mistake. They said it will be a check mail to me in two weeks and let me wondering what kind of company is this? The customer service is horrible and they lack access to your personal information, there's nobody that can access such information and make any correction required. They hold your cash deposit for 12 days then tell you that it will refund your money in two more weeks.

    I have had the Walmart Money Card for a few years and have had government money direct deposited into my card. For around the last 3 months every time I call the number on the back of my card I get a message after the English and Spanish message of welcome to walmart money card. Then it goes on to say "we are unable to assist you at this time" and it then says something about please refer to or website or app for account info and then it hangs up on me. If I call from a different phone I get through to customer service. I tell them about problem and they say that it is my cell phone carrier with the problem. Well now a couple of the other phones with different carriers that I called from before now gets the same message that I get every time I try to call.

    My mom has the same cell service as me and has a card also where we can send money to each other and she gets through every time. So it can't be cell provider that has problem as now multiple cell companies that phone I used does the same thing as mine does. No matter what time of day you call. They refuse to look into the matter. This happens on the number on back of card 1-877-937-4098 and it also happens when I try to call Greendot's # 1-866-795-7597. Like I said I can call with a new cell and it goes through every time and asks me for my card info and then lets me speak with someone. But once again they refuse to try and look into the problem to fix it. They all just say it is my cell provider that has the problem not them.

    Next I get 2 different government deposits. 1 for veterans pension and the second for SSDI (social security disability insurance). For years I have mostly got my deposit 4 days early like they say you will for government direct deposits (there has been a couple times I got it on the day of). Well I got an email from walmart money card that said my direct deposit is processing from the veterans' part of my money and it said it will be released on Friday July 31, 2020. I received this email on July 27, 2020. They say they release it and normally do when they receive the notification around 4 days earlier than when you suppose to get paid from the government. Well I still haven't received it in my account even though they already got the notification from the government.

    When I called from another phone and got a hold of money card customer service they told me they don't see no pending deposit info and so I must of got email from the VA and not from them. It says walmart money card in the email sent from name. Money card customer service said well wait you will probably get it on 31st like it said. The 31st is the day that a regular bank would normally release it as the 1st is Saturday. So what happened to 4 days early for government direct deposits.

    If for some reason I need to get ahold of customer service and I run out of different numbers to call from what happens if my card stops working or I got dispute or whatever. I won't be able to. Also they say I can chat with a representative on the walmart money card website or the app. The app does not give me an option at all and the website has a fact and question section and only allows me to select a question topic that is pre-wrote then it gives me answer or other selection topics to select. But it never gives me an option to chat with someone.

    It does say if I have any further questions not answered under there facts and questions area to call the number on back of card (which that is initial problem, so the number refers you to app and website and website refers you to call number on back of card) and one of the pop up under the website question and facts sections refers me to go to the gobank website. Which won't let me do anything unless I have a gobank account and card (the walmart moneycard website refers you to the gobank site). So it just tells me to go back and forth but never actually lets me chat or talk to no one.

    I can't even check my balance if I wanted to call number on back of card if for some reason I was in a area that data/internet was not available so app won't work. As it hangs up every time after saying there unable to assist me and to go to app or website, even if I press any number or symbol during that brief message before hanging up. It still hangs up and never gives me option to press any # for balance, dispute, and so on..

    Let's see if walmart money card contacts me or will it just post that it tried to contact me with the number on file but was unable to so I need to call in. I know for a fact that my #, email, and address is all verified and work perfectly fine. And I would have to say that most of the other complaints on this sites info more than likely is correct and not wrong like they say. So I hope they contact me and finally fix my problems and maybe show me real customer service instead of the hang up and rude representatives that I've spoke with on different phones about my account.

    I have had my Walmart Money Card about 8 months. I load it for backup expenses and I have a contract business so I typically use the card for hotel stay and food etc. I had a hotel that ripped me off for over $3000. I filed a dispute on May 4, 2020 and by May 18, 2020 I received my provisional credit for the full amounts disputed.

    During these Covid times our business became none existent and the return of these funds was a great blessing. According to the Cardholder Agreement after 10 business days it states, if more time is needed to investigate WE WILL issue a provisional credit. They did. When I received those credits I covered bills, and rent. I need to pull funds off my card. I went to the ATM got $400.00 off my card. The withdrawal plus fee was $402.75. Not knowing how much I can withdraw a day I went back to get an additional $400.00. It stated Unable to Complete Transaction, please contact issuing Bank. I tried again, same thing. Then I tried some smaller amounts, and that didn't work. I go to a Chase and try $500 and it worked fine.

    I look the next day and notice that it counted me for 2 of the withdrawals that dispensed no cash. Totaling $805.50. I filed a dispute. 10 business days roll by and I ask about my credit, they tell me first I got the credit, I said no I got credit for a previous dispute. They tell me to wait, after being rude and getting hung up on and having to call 10 times because the home based communication system are not very good.

    June 9th I notice that the issued a credit on June 7th 2020 and took it back. Informing me that they were extending it 45 days but NOT issuing a provisional credit with NO explanation other than, you arent getting a credit. Ask to speak to a supervisor, days later they call tell me the matter has been closed and my account will be credited. However it was for the $3000 from the May 4 2020 dispute and that I will not be getting a provisional credit.

    Now I followed their process, I was found to be right under their rules and that was great. However no one would explain to me, why they issued a credit on the two ATM transactions and then took it back on and dispute that was extended. If we decide to extend 45 calendar day, WE WILL provide you with a provisional credit.

    Dispute is still open, and the closest I have gotten to a very bad answer to my question is that, they were maneuvering to have the merchant cardtronnics be the ones to return the money so they took my credit back. Now that may be all well and good but the internal maneuvering of what takes place to get to a resolution, has nothing to do with what I as a consumer expects based on the rules and procedures you put in black and white ink that states the credit will be given. So I am due my provisional credit until the resolution is determined. Why do I have have to be the one who is in limbo on something in which clearly states a provisional credit will be given?? This is a breach of your own process! It's also a violation of the terms you set!! I'm furious at this!!

No problems. Received his first direct deposit. STILL went thru and zero problems..Day or two later he tried logging into his side of the account and it kept saying it was blocked pending further review...Didn't receive a single notification of this happening in email or otherwise...

    Called the number on the back of his card and they said they just needed to verify he was who he said he was and to send a copy of the front and back of his government issued ID, to a certain email address with a numbered code in the subject line and was told and verified several times that it would take 24-48 hours to review and after the 24-48 hours it would be resolved if he sent what was required. He did. It has now been going on 3 weeks since he did that, we have BOTH tried numerous times to get a response from ANYONE on this matter and haven't received a single Correspondence since his "confirmation email" stating they received his ID email... There's now over $8,000 dollars in his account and his weekly direct deposit for the last couple weeks is not reflecting on his account. That STILL states "close pending further review".

    We have ALL struggled during this hard time so it's especially frustrating to know he FINALLY received what he's been due and CANNOT access his money to pay bills and take care of our babies, I also know it's 100% illegal to restrict someone from accessing their own money without notice (which we STILL NEVER received) and especially to do it for this long even AFTER doing as he was told by sending his VALID GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID especially after being told as long as he did that they would ONLY take 24-48 hours to review and resolve this matter after he did so..!!

    Got me a Walmart MoneyCard load 20$ at 7-11. Lost the card. I called them to get my money back but they keep charging me with hidden fee. They told me I only have 5$ in it 'coz of the hidden fee. Never again I deal with walmart or Green Dot. They take your money without you knowing it. Also they dont answer the phone.

    2 reviews. 11 minutes ago. I sent my sister money as a gift for Mother’s Day the day before to make sure she got a gift on time so I used MoneyGram thinking it was safe, fast & secure. I sent her the confirmation number. She ended up going on Mother’s Day to pick it up and do some shopping... Well, she dealt with PAM thinking she was just there to pick up the money, this lady gave her attitude and told her she didn’t get any money and couldn’t help her but could give her a reason why, I called thinking she’d be more helpful since I’m a customer service rep and know how to handle the issue, I asked for her name once, she ignored me, second time she HUNG UP ON ME mid sentence!!!

    I have never had someone just hang up on me so so called back and she told me, "YOU HAVE TO CALL AGAIN," which was 3 times already and Money gram saw no issues so money gram asked if rep could just call to see what error message they were getting, PAM refused. Said she don’t need to be calling anyone and for me to call again (4 times) and my sister HAD to go back after 3 times.

    Needless to say my sister will NEVER go back to the store again I was told she could go to CVS by the rep on the phone. I have used this service before without any issues. I wish you had CUSTOMER SERVICE without all the attitude, I wasn’t asking her for anything other than what the issue was but she raised her voice at us both and had the worst attitude. I know NOTHING will be fine about it but I’m upset & disappointed we had to go through all this for $100!!!

    As a customer service representative, I know how to treat a customer or just humans in general and I don’t appreciate someone raising their voice at me or giving me such nasty attitude, I never complain about anything but this was definitely a horrible experience for the both of us, spending the whole day (Mother’s Day) dealing with such drama. I hope someone talks to PAM and let her know this is unacceptable behavior. I hope someone would contact me about this issue but I doubt it. SAD DAY FOR US ALL. Happy Mother’s Day to my sister. I’m sorry we didn’t get your money today.??? Thank You. Nellie **

    My husband has had the Walmart Money Card for years and never had problems with it until March 2020. If only we can give this card a negative 5 stars. His account was hacked and someone took over $570 through an ATM machine. He disputed by providing all the evidence that he wasn’t the one that took the money out that day. He was at work all day in San Diego and the transaction was done in Los Angeles. He provided them a GPS tracker from when he clock in and out of work that day. He disputed it twice and was DENIED. They said, "Based on your transaction history we didn’t find any error." Of course there’s going to be an ATM withdrawals transaction on his card. It’s a prepaid card. But if they look at his history not once he uses Chase to withdraw money out.

    In addition the person did a transaction to review his balance. Why would he do that when he has the application? Anyhow, if you can stay away and find another prepaid card please do so. Our hard working money gone easily and they can’t do their job properly to protect their customers. Especially during this pandemic. Every penny counts. So stay away from this company unless you’re fine with your money being taken away easily.

    On May 2 I saw a laptop on sale online at Office Depot. It said there was one left so I made purchase. The money was removed from account. I went to pick it up, and they said they made a mistake and didn't have it. So transaction was cancelled, and the charge is just been showing pending, pending, pending. It is now end of day May 7. I called Walmart money card customer service and was told it will be 15 days before money is credited back to my account. That is ridiculous. Once my money is returned I am taking every dime of and finding a different company.

    I recently purchased a trip through Bookit.com for June 2-7, and on March 17th Bookit canceled my trip and advised they would be be issuing a refund and I needed to contact my Issuing Bank. I have called Green Dot Bank several times to dispute my charges as service not rendered, only for Green Dot advise there is nothing they can do and I need to contact the merchant. Well, the merchant has disconnected their phone and email and there is no way to get ahold of them.

    Green Dot has provided the worst cardholder experience ever as I have seen other prepaid Issuing Banks refund their cardholders due to Bookit canceling their trip. As a cardholder I'm very frustrated that my Issuing Bank (Green Dot) is not willing to help when I paid the merchant for a service that will not rendered as and Green Dot will not file the dispute. If anyone is looking for a reloadable prepaid I would not recommend Walmart Money Card through Green Dot as they will allow merchants to mistreat cardholders. Run fast from this card as they do not support their cardholders.

    On April 16, 2020 I placed an order for disposable facemasks and received notice they would be shipped from the vendor (Mancro) and arrive on April 23. On April 26, 2020, I checked shipping date and it said the order was delayed. I checked again in a couple of delays and it said order was delayed again "lost in shipment" and I would receive a refund. Walmart has not responded to my request other than to forward my complaints to the vendor who hasn't responded even after a couple of attempts to contact them.

    I checked on the internet and found similar complaints about Walmart and this vendor. On April 28 I contacted the credit card company to dispute the charges, that showed up the day after I placed the order. I checked the Walmart site today (5-1-20) and noticed this vendor is not even listed as a supplier anymore yet Walmart still has not acknowledged my complaint or notified me of a refund. Walmart now requires all employees to wear masks - - if they can get masks for employees how come they couldn't fill orders of paying customers? I found the disposable masks from another provider at a much lower cost and they were delivered within a few days. My suggestion, don't use Walmart for anything that you can't actually see with your own eyes on the shelf.

    Last week WalMart was advertising getting the stimulus payments on your money card. So since I get my regular paycheck this way I went on to get my direct deposit information. The App and website were both down. I called the number on the back of the card (877)-937-4098 and its like it is disconnected. I was able to call walmart who patched me through to green dot but they refused to give me my direct deposit information. I was then able to get my information through my employer. I entered it on the portal at the IRS and was all set. I then got a date from the IRS of 4/30/2020 with my money card account listed. I thought I was all set.

    On the 29th a rep from Green Dot contacted me because of my complaint through the BBB. She assured me that the problem with the customer service number was fixed and I even have proof that she told me that in their response to the BBB. The 30th comes and no deposit from the IRS so I try to call customer service again and the same thing. It's like the number is disconnected. So I call the number back that they called from yesterday and am able to press 2 for the moneycard. The rep tells me that I have to wait a week for the deposit to be credited but as of now he can't see anything. I asked him if it could have been denied and sent back and he said no that it is showing no direct deposit attempt. I then asked him about the customer service number and he said that wasn't even their number. Wait, what it's on the back of my card???

    I've been using this card for a few years now and when I have to call for help it's always a problem getting someone to help. The reps are rude and don't speak english well at all. Today I spoke with Edward (with a very strong Indian accent) who refused to identify himself further by a last name or employee ID number. I haven't had any issues with being locked out like others have but I see that coming as retaliation for reporting them so I think it's time to remove my money and close the account. As far as the stimulus check that the IRS says it put on my card this morning I'm still waiting on a phone call from a supervisor that I will receive in 4 hours, what a joke. Stay away so you don't drive yourself crazy with their lies.

    I’ve had this Walmart Money Card for 5 years. I am was unable to open a regular bank account so I went this route. First positives, my direct deposit was set up. Earn 2% is ok. Negatives... If you need a replacement card it takes 10 freakin businesses days to receive. This card has all my money and I’m a single mom of 3! I don’t depend on government assistance nor do I get help in any way to raise my kids. So that 10 days was so hard on me! This has happened more than once.

    This card is not accepted everywhere. I tried paying for groceries and it was declined because the type of card was not accepted. My account was recently forced to close! No reason why! No option on their supposed number they claim to call for help! They shut you out completely with no one for you to talk to but a computer dial tone!!! It’s hard to get to a store because of the coronavirus and I again have 3 kids so I take them everywhere because I have to bring. I’m a single mom. So I’m stuck! In a horrible time while this stuff is going on.

    I have had many returns for recently shopping online because of coronavirus and I have a weak immune system so I’m trying to stay in place as recommended by my doctor. And the store refund me money because they don’t have everything in stock I need. I understand. Well I call Walmart Money card # and explain it all. These people were so rude to me! The manager was rude to me. Told me I have to contact the places and told me it’s my fault! I called daily for 2 weeks to get this over looked and somewhat resolved!

    I get it’s not a real checking account but why the Hostility? Why claim to be open for real people to answer questions but you don’t when you want to cancel a paid customer’s account. I have a refund of my children’s laptops (back ordered) $600 from Walmart for school because of coronavirus. They need something to do school work. Now I will not receive my refund because these people canceled my card. No way of understanding what I need to do to get help with my situation. Called Walmart.com for my refund. They already faxed a release for my refund to this card. They can’t help me further, so I’m told. So all this stress of this card is too bad to recommend for anyone!

If you are planning on using this card, make sure if you need to file a dispute for an unauthorized transaction, you First withdrawal all you can before filing your dispute.

    In April of 2018, there was a fraudulent charge of $5,200 on my account. I was unaware at the time, I had just got my tax refund deposited on this card, and placed it in my drawer after making a few purchases. I was saving the rest of the money that was on the card for a rainy day. Well that rainy day came quicker than I thought it would. I broke my leg and couldn't work for almost a month.

    I scramble for money and quickly remember that I had my car tucked away but when I proceeded to try to pay my rent with my card, my transaction declined. I called Walmart money card to see what my balance was on my card and was informed that my balance was $0. I proceeded to tell the customer service representative that the charge for $5,200 was obviously a fraudulent charge if I am trying to make a purchase right now and expecting my money to be on that card. He explained that he understood and told me to wait 30 days after making the accusation and they were trying to contact the company where the $5,000 was spent which, was apparently a car lot. I informed the representative that I was desperate for my money, that I needed it to pay bills while I was down and out of work.

    I waited a few weeks for the email link that he told me that he would send to me to send my identification in and I never received the email. I called back only to get the same responses to my situation. That first the representatives would say something along the lines of why to take me so long to report my money missing and I tell them it's because I put it away for savings and then they proceeded to give me the same instructions over and over and over again.

    Now we're in the midst of this pandemic, and I need my money more now than ever. I never received even a fraction of my money back. If you have this card please take your money off of it and destroy the card because this company will not back you in the event of a fraudulent charge on your card! I'm out of $5,000, and as a self-employed contractor I'm struggling to figure out how to feed my kids and keep us afloat during this pandemic.

I used to order from them online all the time, and now they won’t take all prepaid cards, which I think is dumb because it’s prepaid. They used to take it before all this. Now all of a sudden it won’t do my transactions. And I called them and they said, “No, there’s no problem.” I just can’t get it. But I use the app and I like just how quick everything is.

I registered the card and now it will work in one place but will not in others, so I tried these places with both codes and some places still decline my card. I have used Walmart prepaid cards for many years, but the mess up this has caused has areas on my computer that will not allow me to use it with either code number. I do not know what to do next and I still have money in my card.

    I received a Wal-mart Money Card and did direct deposit. I called to report that a charge was posted to my account (after holding 2 hours) and they said they would investigate. They froze my account and debit card without my authorization. I called customer service for four days now and waited on hold and no one ever picks up. 3-4 hour wait time and then it just hangs up on you. All my money is in the account and I have no way to pull it out and my ATM card is blocked. All the reps are from another country and do not speak English! I NEED your help!!! Other reviews are reporting the same thing. They are stealing everyone's money!!! This needs to be handled ASAP since everyone shops at Wal-mart buying these cards.

    This is ridiculous, and seeing how I am working from home I have plenty of time to contact the BBB. I made a return today, got a text that this return is pending. Called to see when this would be released and the lady told me April 7th! Are you insane, people are in the middle of a crisis, and you believe it's okay to hold their money hostage. Then, the lady lied and said it was the merchant taking until April 7th to release the refund. I am highly intelligent, I know better. So if this does not get resolved I will be looking to legal resources, there are plenty available during this crisis.

In the faqs section it specifically states teller withdrawals are allowed up to 5k and the daily limit for atm withdrawal are 3k. It only allowed me to take out 1k and it is declining my other attempts. They should not advertise a 3k and 5k limit and decline your attempts to attain those amounts. I would advise against having your refund pit on this card unless you want to be limited to 1000 of your own money daily.

    I always have cashed in my checks in Walmart, and then I saw the Walmart MoneyCard one day and I asked the lady about it. She was like, I could even have my checks deposited on it. So, I grabbed it and got it. I’ve been able to manage just fine with it. It’s been good to me. The only thing I don’t like about it is I can’t pull money off of it. I can, but even when I go to Walmart, I could only pull a $100 at a time off of it or they charge me the $3 fee every time. I thought when the lady told me as long as it’s direct deposit or I got the card, any time I put money on it, it doesn’t charge me. My direct deposit doesn’t charge me, but if I go in and try to load money on to it, they charge a $3 fee. And that’s another thing. I could only do it at Walmart. I can’t do it at any ATM.

    But the benefit is I could use it anywhere. I don’t have to carry cash with me. My direct deposit is good too. I’ve never had a problem with it. However, the reload is just finding a person at Walmart that knows how to do it. You’re supposed to be able to go to any register and be able to load it, but most people don’t know how to do it. So, I end up having to go to customer service to do it. My lady has this card too and at first, I always go to Walmart to wire her money. But with Walmart MoneyCard, it’s just easy transaction over the phone, internet access, use the app to go on there and pull her name up, send her money. She goes on her phone and receives it. She just puts in her card number and it’s that simple.

    I have had an issue with my new card for over 3 weeks. I received a card due to mine's about to expire. The card continued giving me an error message. After calling numerous times (more than 5) I finally spoke to someone who said they would send me another card. I requested a different number in hopes that I would not have this issue again. My account had to go on lock in order or this to happen. I was not happy because spring break was a week away but I have been a customer or over 4 years and trusted them. When I received my card today, I was very excited. I still have time to do something for spring break with my 3 children.

    Upon trying to activate this card, the same error message appears. I am absolutely distraught. The first lady refused to let me speak to a supervisor. The second and third persons were reluctant. I was told that I could still access my money, which was a lie. I went to the atm and could not. This is when I called the third time today. I have done everything that was asked of me to do. I have been walked through the different steps of troubleshooting. I have tried different browsers as requested and even different devices. Nothing has worked. It is now spring break and my kids will not be able to go anywhere. I do not understand that if they have the power to put the account on lock why do they not have the same power to unlock it? I am the customer and have plenty of money in the account. Why am I being punished.

    I have called over 15 times in the past few weeks. It has taken time away from my kids and my job just to call. Now it is taking their spring break joy. No one seems to care. The supervisor that I spoke with today did apologize and seemed sympathetic. However, I am frustrated and almost started to cry. Imagine being a single parent with three children. They were looking forward to this week and I, trusting this company, feel like a failure to my kids. They will never get this spring break back. I have complied completely but nothing is being done.

I got married and needed to change my last name on my card and was told that I had to purchase a new card and set the account up with my new name. I then moved to another state and had to get a new card mailed to me (an act of congress). It took me 3 weeks to get a card and once I get the card, I can't activate it, because they're having technical difficulties. It's been a whole week and still have not been able to activate my card. They want you to take screenshots and send the info to them so they can call you back (still waiting).

    I called today so that they can send me a refund check and close the account and now they want me to send in a copy of my licenses front and back, last 4 of the card and copy of utility bill and then I was told it would be 2 weeks before I get the check. Green Dot should've left the activation process alone, where you used to be able to call and activate your card. Very dissatisfied right now.

So, when I sent it back, I gotta wait on the refund but the money never came back. I was out of $300. I also didn't have anybody to talk to as far as customer service to see what was going on.

I wish there was a person that was accessible to see and tell you what was going on.

    Other than those, I like that there were no overdraft fees. If it's there, it's there, if it ain't, it ain't. I use my Walmart card to just order stuff because I don't like to use the card with my bank with more money, and I like to put just an amount on there to order things.

    Unfortunately used a Walmart Prepaid Debit card for years and every experience was nothing short of miserable. Almost 100k a year was direct deposited on the card and customer service has never fixed or resolved a single issue. Returning anything took weeks to months to get the money back and on several different occasions I never received it at all. It would stay in pending status for weeks and/or months and would disappear completely from my transactions and reports like it never happened.

    Customer Service did nothing even after sending them screenshots, monthly statements, and the receipts showing it was returned but the money was never put back. The 75 cashback a year is nothing more than a joke and scam. I've been sitting at 11 out of 12 months completed since December 2019. Yet over 10k has been direct deposited since and 3 additional months of billing cycles have came and gone. Still magically one more month to go according to awful Customer Service who is absolutely no help. That's if you can understand foreign languages mixed in with bad English. Spend the entire conversation asking "Can you please repeat that" and "I'm sorry but I cannot understand a word you're saying." Avoid all Walmart cards like the plague.

    I think we have had our card for over five years. We use it for everything. The only issue we consistently have is dispute resolution. It is terrible. They do not speak or understand English. They will shut off the card every time, even if the issue doesn’t warrant it. Then they ship you a new card. Which is really a problem if you use this card for everything. They close the card and we are cut off from literally all our money. Then we have to wait for the replacement card to come in the mail. This time they shut my card off because I filled out dispute paperwork and mailed it in. Someone hacked my Domino's Pizza account and used my ‘saved method of payment’ to pay for their pizza. It was fraud.

    The people who hacked my dominos account were in another state and fraudulently completed 4 separate pizza orders in different states. I got pizza order confirmations in my email and immediately figured out what happened. I changed my dominos password and removed all saved methods of payment. I went online and printed the dispute paperwork, filled it out and mailed it in. The hackers never had my physical card, or my complete card number, my CVV code, or my address. I explained all of that on the dispute paperwork. My card was not lost, stolen or compromised.

    The dominos website lets you use whatever card you have saved to pay. When you process your payment the dominos app does not ask for CVV code or zip code, which really is a huge security risk for domino’s customers. I’m extremely disappointed that my card has been shut off and I am unable to access all of our money. The dispute paperwork was clear so this is all unnecessary and terrible customer service. Especially when we have been perfect customers for over five years.

    I hate banks so I got a Walmart MoneyCard. I get myself the security to go straight to it, and I pay my bills with it. It’s working out well. It’s convenient. I can pay while I’m sitting and take care of everything with that card and a phone. I also use it on my laptop. I've had the card for five years, and no fees would make it even better.

    I have my pay coming to my card and someone got access to my card info. I got paid and that same day in less than 30 minutes, my card had a negative balance. They purchased over 1000$ worth of stuff online. I called customer service and they told me that they couldn't do anything until while it is pending and has to wait until it's posted. Next, I have to file a dispute and then it's another wait. Then you have to wait until another card comes which is 5 to 10 business days. Meanwhile, you are stuck with no money and your bills are due. When I called to dispute the charges I had to wait for over 30 minutes for the customer service representative to let the system update and I still didn't get it done, because it took too long on the phone.

    I was told to call back, because the system was still updating. I still haven't gotten the issues resolved. I lost slot and still losing, because I can't pay my bills. Who's going to pay for the interest on things when you can't pay your bills on time. This card sucks and doesn't have a good security. The customer service isn't good either. I wouldn't recommend this card to nobody that gets a paycheck on it. It has nothing in place to protect the consumer.

    Walmart MoneyCard works fine. It was easy to use, the fees are really low on it, and it works anywhere. But automatic withdrawals don't work on it. If you wanna set up automatic withdrawal for car payments or whatever, those seemed to have issues. I’ve had MoneyCard for eight years. I have two cards. I only pay a monthly fee on one of the cards ‘cause I put a portion of my paycheck on there. My fiancé has me hold his bank card because his bank card will bounce and he can’t keep his bank accounts straight. So, what I do is I put a portion on a separate card for him and I don't have a fee on it.

    The MoneyCard doesn’t work with certain ATMs, like Tulsa Federal Credit Unions or any of the credit unions. The one around my house where I make my car payments doesn’t work at all. It also doesn’t work at the ATM inside of QuikTrip and it doesn’t work at the QuikTrip pumps. But a lot of cards will charge a dollar every time you swipe it, but the Walmart MoneyCard doesn’t.

    I have been using this money card for my direct deposit for YEARS now. Last month I purchased a birthday gift for my Godchild from Walmart.com and the gift never was received. Walmart stated they would replace this which they did. Not even 2 days later someone used my card to purchase items from walmart online, this was disputed. Then 2 weeks later someone used my card info to purchase from Wendy's. I then had to do another dispute and decided it is time to go back to an actual bank. How can you trust a bank with your money and they are suppose to be protecting your funds and information. My card was then blocked.

    I was then told I needed to report the card lost/stolen to receive a new card and this will then lift the block on my account. Now mind you, I already had 2 direct deposits in this account which I needed for my kids church trip. I then got the new card and went to activate it yesterday and it said "couldn't verify me". LIVID is not even the half of it! I called and spoke with a "Manager" with no help at all. Stated it was a technical issue and needed time to be fixed. Money still in my account that I can not touch. I have to pay my kids trip off TOMORROW and I have yet to register this new card. My father is a lawyer and I will be taking them to court for STEALING and withholding fund if my money is not accessible TODAY so I can move my funds to my new bank account. THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND INCONSIDERATE!

    I was cashing a check at Walmart and I also wanted something where I could start paying stuff online with, and I figured that the Walmart MoneyCard would be a good thing to have. I've gotten one a couple of years ago and been using it since. It's handy and it doesn’t let the bills overdraft where I have to pay something back that I don’t have the money for.

    I use MoneyCard for online. It’s like mobile bank card and I use it just like any other debit card. I’ll just give them a form or give them my bank account number and routing number and I’ll direct deposit my checks on to it. Their reload locations are usually really packed and hard to get into, so I try my best not to load money with them. My internet company wouldn’t accept it because it’s a pay card. It’s really a bank card ‘cause it is a banking account, but they don’t see it as a banking account. Other than that, my experience has been great.

    I needed a debit card for work, and when I went shopping at Walmart I picked a Walmart MoneyCard. The direct deposit works really good for me. I don't have to worry about going to Walmart with a paper check and waiting in line to get cash. There's also the cashback, where you use the card for 12 months and certain purchases gets you a cashback amount and after a year you're able to get that cashback put into your account. I'm now on the 12th month of it. I have a smartwatch and a smartphone that constantly tell me what my balance is on the card and I could track the transactions that go in and out of the card. And if there's something wrong with the amount, I can call and have it fixed. However, there are certain apps that will not let you use the Walmart card because it's considered a prepaid card, like Redbox and wallet apps such as Samsung Pay or Apple Pay.

    I have pending transaction for car rental since late December. And it's now early February... Walmart Moneycard keeps telling me, "It's still a pending transaction. There is no way of canceling it. If it doesn't post by end of month then your funds will be put back on my card." I have contacted the merchant only held 1.50 from my account and released back to me already. Walmart says it's pending. I lost my job on Jan 24th and need the money last week to buy my kids and I some food. I don't have anyone to lend me money or the credit to do so. I'm already get state help but I still had wait two weeks for. No car to go food bank. And Walmart is holding my money. They claim any pre authorization have three money hold. If nothing happens then the funds will at that time get released back to my account.

    I've been waiting for supervisor to call me back. It's been a week. I can't make any outgoing calls. I can only receive incoming calls. And a person on the Walmart money card app support line tells me it's pending supervisor call? I'm like what is that pending? "No supervisor is available to call you back." Once I get my money I won't use Walmart money card again.. Once I didn't mean to cancel a transaction at gas station they held every penny I had for two weeks. Waited two weeks for money. I thought it was good idea to get money back by shopping at Walmart by having the card.. but it's not worth it to me anymore.. They lost my business in needed a prepaid card... So many others out there.

    I was away from my home when I got the first Walmart MoneyCard. I had them a few times before. But now, I made it a debit card that I could use to have my checks directly deposited, and one with my name on it. I have bad credit. I've been using Walmart card for about three years. It helps me quite a bit. Those are the only ones that I can use as an actual checking account. The payday is earlier, too. And then I like the whole stashed money that I have. After I figured out how to work all the options on it, it has been great. I just had to figure it out on my own because I wasn’t doing it right. It took me a minute. I never had my own prepaid debit card like that. Once I got the app on my phone, it was great. I’ve told people to go get a Walmart card. It’s the only debit card that I have ever been able to pay my bills with. It’s nice. And I like that they send the paper checks out.

    My acct was hacked and $500 was stolen. I contacted the # on back of card to report it. They put a security lock on the card. The next day $500 MORE was stolen! Customer Service is no help. They cannot understand me and just keep saying “oh I’m sorry. I understand”. No one can get me to a supervisor. I've filed police reports. Called them again today and yet another $50 was taken which wiped my account out completely. I asked how this continues happen and I kid you not his response was “I don’t know”. I feel this is not taken seriously by them and my money and account is not protected. The hackers still have access to account and have changed the phone number and email address. It’s been an awful few days and I have rent to pay and kids to feed.
