I get paid like 5 days early. I love my Walmart account. I couldn't be happier. I have almost no complaints except the fact it costs me money to load it at Walmart if I have cash I want to throw on it. Other than that I'm stoked. Thank you.

I've had my Wal-Mart money network card for a over a year now. I've had nothing but a good experience with my card. No negative feedback. I love not having overdraft balance and having to pay overdraft fees! I've never had any trouble with my direct deposit getting on my card and my check is always on my card before the due date! I love getting notification about a direct deposit on my card.

I am pleased with the service provided by WalMart MoneyCard. I truly enjoy receiving my paycheck early. So far I have not had any problems with my account or customer service. However, I have another MoneyCard that I cannot review online and I would like to see my transaction on that card. I can only call to see what the balance and transactions that were made.

My sister told me about using the card for online purchases. When I got mine, there were fees to use and fees to reload. A bit disappointed, but can't blame them. I like having a card with only a small debit limit for purchases.

The card is good. The only issue with the card is I can't use the cash back until 12 months. In my opinion it should be allowed to access when needed. If there is any way around this please let me know. Thanks.

I am satisfied but could use some adjustments. It would be nice to have a chip on the card cause I have to get a new one every few months, and in order for me to get a replacement card they have to pause the account till the new one comes in the mail. And I have to buy a new card set up new account and do another direct deposit which makes it really annoying. Also most ATM do not work with it and I can't pay for gas at the pump always have to walk in. And It is not compatible apps like venmo and cash app so it makes it difficult to transfer money electronically. Thank you!

I have seen most/some prepaid cards have no fee ~ I think your service would gain a lot more consumers if there was no fee at all ~ or lower the amount to avoid that fee. Having direct deposit is a great thing.

I give my employees Walmart debit cards to buy material for on-going construction repairs for my George Webb Termite Control bss. This morning (07/16/19) the 3845 card was declined for a purchase less than $80 with more than $140 on the card, and yesterday the 3023 card was declined at a gas station and that card had a balance of $640.00.

The MoneyCard is great. However I don’t think it’s fair to charge money to use the Walmart ATMs to retrieve money. They are WALMART money cards so what is the point in charging to use a WALMART ATM. Seems silly. Otherwise it’s a good card. Never had any issues with it.

Overall I am satisfied with my experience, signing up was easy and card arrived in a timely manner. My only complaint was unauthorized charges in the first 2 months in the recurring amount of around 25 dollars to someone's cellphone I didn't authorize and mostly due to my own procrastination but partially to unavailable resources didn't report or ever recoup totaling over $250. The charges stopped around the time I noticed them and haven't accused again. On a positive note I get paid two days earlier than my coworkers. And the vault savings ability is very convenient.

I have used the Walmart MoneyCard for years and I have never had a problem with it. Most of my family also have one. It's easy to load or to have your paycheck directly deposited.

Which having them have a second one makes it easier if one of us needs money from the other person.

I didn't have any problems for the first 1 1/2 years. When I switched companies I worked for I had nothing but problems. My pay period was every two weeks and had to wait three. It is difficult almost impossible to reach a live customer service representative. Some changes should be made in that area.

I like how with Walmart MoneyCard, I'm guaranteed to get my paycheck a couple of days earlier. Also, I'm not able to overdraft, which helps me out ‘cause I’ve had stuff set up to be taken out. When I had a bank account, they took the payment out when the account was supposed to be set up to where it couldn’t be overdrafted, but still it did. However, I would like my Walmart MoneyCard better if I wasn't paying at least $3.74 at Walmart to reload it. With other Green Dot cards it doesn't charge me extra to reload. I buy the reload thing and it's 20 bucks is the minimum I can reload. Still, with WMC, I've had no difficulties. It's the best experience I've ever had with any bank account.

I have had these cards before in the past and never had a problem before they have blocked the card and when I called I was told I could use the card the next morning then when I asked to speak to her supervisor he told me I had to send a copy of my DL and the pay stub from deposit. Was told it would take 2 business days. Well I called again 3 business days later and was told their system can't read my docs because I scanned them and was told to take pictures and resend to. Have to wait another 2 business. Meanwhile I can't access my funds. Customer service is horrible. Can never get a straight answer from them and can't understand much of anything they say. After I resolve this issue I will never use MoneyCard again.

Horrible, horrible, horrible card and service. Their saving grace for the longest was that I would get paid most pay periods a day or two early, but at this point I'm just gonna close the account and find another prepaid card that offers the very same service. You can't get a hold of anyone real when there's a problem. They insist on using automation and will have you writing letters rather than actually speaking to you on the phone or through a chat server. I've had issues where I couldn't access my account because they were doing something on their end, and I had money in my vault that I needed to get to. Couldn't get a hold of anyone to help me in those cases.
Right now, I have a transaction that I would like to dispute over a merchant who has been holding funds since the moment I clicked complete order, and now almost two weeks later they still haven't refunded me the money for an item they said they no longer have in stock... Instead of letting me speak to a live person about my concerns over my missing funds, Walmart MoneyCard wants me to write a letter. Oh, and another thing. What made them think it was a good idea to start listing my available funds at the bottom of my receipts? I'm at the drive thru window at Taco Bell, and some kid is handing me my food with my receipt telling me how much money I have left to spend. Restaurants, malls, convenience stores, etc., all know my business because they for some reason thought that was a good idea.

I received my paycheck via direct deposit onto this Wal-Mart Money Card 7/15/19. I only get paid twice a month and my check is not much. I went to use my card and was declined. I called customer service and was told there was a 4 hour block on my card due to the large amount of the deposit (It was a little over $1000) and that my direct deposit information was under review. The male customer service representative told me his name was Judy. He refused to answer any of my questions and would not let me speak to a supervisor. He ultimately hung up on me. I called back and once again had to speak with 'Judy.' Still no help, no supervisor, and no answers. I am so upset and disappointed. I can't wait to go to work and cancel my direct deposit from this card. I have never in my life experienced anything like this. Utterly ridiculous.

Walmart MoneyCard is a great card. I use it strictly for direct deposits. I have all of my paychecks go into that card and then I just disburse the money to my checking account. I don't have to carry cash with it and I earn cash-back if I shop at Walmart.com. It's also convenient to get my paychecks early with it. The only thing that I don’t like is that we don’t have the ability to attach it to our Zelle. But that has something to do with the laws on prepaid cards, so it may not be Walmart MoneyCard's fault. Other than that, I've had the card for five years and my experience has been good so far. I'll recommend it.

Hello. So I purchase Walmart MoneyCards to make Amazon purchase and to pay bills online or shop at fast food. So I went this week to get a card, loaded it with $400 dollars and go to register it and some crap pops up that it couldn't verify my identity. So I call the number and have a horrible experience with the customer service staff about how I can't use my card for anything but in person transactions and they will not be sending me a personalized card blah blah. So I go to Amazon, make 3 purchases. Also go to Taco Bell and then try and pull money off. No go. Multiple stores and calls to the card with zero help. Needless to say I will NEVER use this card again. Almost done with Walmart altogether. This is crap. Signed up for a callback. Never got it.

This is by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced. This is the 3rd time they have held my money hostage under pending transactions and this was for a transaction that wasn't even authorized. My gym tried to charge me an extra $10 and when I went to sign the authorization I told them it wasn't the right amount. They charged me the price it was supposed to be and I signed the authorization. I checked my account and it showed both transactions pending. After contacting my gym of course it was because Wal-Mart MoneyCard was holding my money. When I tried to contact them all they would say is it's going to take 2 weeks and there's nothing I can do. I told them it was obviously a double charge and it needed to be removed. I tried to talk to a supervisor and she told me none could be found and hung up on me in mid conversation. Absolutely horrible!
Won't let you talk with a supervisor and holding your money hostage under a pending transaction. I certainly don't have an extra 50 just laying around that I can hold off for 2 weeks. I am a single mother and it's absolutely ridiculous that they can and would do this underhanded activity. When they can tell it's not an authorized transaction it should be released. It says they would take a shorter time giving you the money back if someone sent through the transaction as opposed to it just being pending. Makes no sense whatsoever. Very upset with absolutely no one to voice your problems to.

Walmart MoneyCard has the cheapest fees among prepaid debit card providers. Everybody else was charging $10 so I went with WMC. I've had it for two years going on three and I've been using it for direct deposit. With it, I can pay bills and make online purchases. Whenever I do my taxes, I get them put directly on the card. However, I had an issue as somebody charged me a $250 cleaning fee and took it off my card.

I am very upset. The entire reason I used Walmart MoneyCard was because they advertised that my deposits would go in early. I get my social security on Wednesday.

Hotel released funds and card kept the hold on there for a ridiculous amount of time. Even after the joke of a customer service agent and I spoke with the hotel, in which we were informed by the hotel that the release was processed when I checked out, the customer service rep still proceeded to tell me there would be a hold on my account for 6 more days. Very inconvenient, especially when my regular credit card gets released the minute I check out. I don’t think the customer service agent has a clue as to what holding on to a couple of hundred dollars can do to your wallet. The hotel told this idiot that the funds were released on the 27th of June, and they still won’t release my funds.
In addition, I filed a dispute for some charges where someone must have gotten access to the laptop I’d made purchases on before. By the 23rd day of turning all paperwork in, I decided to call the merchants myself. I receive notification that the dispute had been denied because the charges were valid. Yet 2 of the charges I disputed were found to be under someone else’s email by the merchant in which they promptly apologized and I had the money back that night.
How is it that I do the investigation, and the merchant immediately recognizes it as fraud? Yet the card company’s idiots in India must be investigating sightings of Godzilla or the 2nd coming of their god Kali, because it took me less than 5 minutes on the phone with the merchant for the merchant to discover that it was indeed someone else’s account. I was told that ALL CHARGES WERE VALID, YET I WAS ABLE TO PROVE THAT 2 OF THEM WERE NOT. I wouldn’t recommend this card to anyone outside of a prison. Maybe in prison they can use it, but out here, they just hold your money and let anyone use your card when you dispute it and don’t even care. The customer service agent asked me for supporting documentation. I asked him, "What the hell else do I have to give you, it’s not like I have receipts of where I did not purchase something online." Are they stupid? Or should I say, incompetent.
I use the card for my kids mostly, so I can track their expenses without giving them my debit card or credit card. I’ve had Lyft rides at 3am in the morning in Huntsville where a woman actually took the ride. Last I checked, I am a man. Not to mention the fact that I can’t stand Lyft because their cars are horrible and old. I’m out over 50 just for the holds, and 300 to Priceline, of which were used on someone’s else’s account as well. I think I’m going to call the banking commissioner on Monday to get this straightened out the real way. I’m tired of dealing with incompetent idiots when the problem is easily resolved. They just don’t want to do their jobs.

I am so over the stupidity I deal with with this card, I have had the same card and same acct for years and direct deposit every Thursday except for TODAY (4th of July) and any time Thursday is a holiday I don't get my pay! I am over this and I guess I waited too long to move on but today I am officially done and getting a different card. On top of this issue I paid a doctor back in July and they stated they never got the 50 and I have now been sent to collections and can't get my 50.00 back because customer service does not care and won't assist me at all. I am out 50.00 and now I have to repay the doctor. It was taken off my card and they never got it. There is no support for any of this.

I originally got the Walmart MoneyCard because I thought it would be a good card to make purchases with and pay bills with. I made a purchase at the beginning of May from a company. And after I hadn't received my products or shipping information after a couple of weeks, I contacted the company via email. I actually corresponded with the company several times before they ghosted me. I searched for the company on Instagram and it was gone but when I put in the name a thread came up of other scammed consumers. Most people said they contacted their bank and their bank refunded the money. (Sounds like customer service!) When I called Walmart, they basically asked me did I have all the emails, how it happened, etc. Of course I had the paper trail.
The first contact gave me the phone number he had listed for the company. I called and it gave an email. I emailed a couple times...NO RESPONSE! I called Walmart back today and was told I am out of $68.94 because they don't cover their customers for purchases that were originally authorized. I regret even getting this card and should have used my original bank account. At least I would be covered for this purchase. If you want a company who backs their customers who spend money with them and insures their customers...THIS IS NOT IT! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!

May 6, 2019 we noticed our Walmart MoneyCard/Green Dot was used several times without authorization from 5/2/2019 through 5/6/2019. The card was used a total of 8 times during those 5 days to both Pizza Hut and Domino's for a total of $151.91. We had used our card locally on those days in North and South Carolina. The withdrawals for the merchants came from locations in Nebraska (2 locations), Illinois, Virginia (4 Different locations) and New Mexico. On 5/6/2019 as soon as the fraud was discovered we reported the card stolen. A new one was issued in addition to a charge of $3.00 for a replacement card. On 5/22/2019 the $3.00 was reversed by Walmart. 5/8/2019 the original dispute forms were prepared and submitted. No acknowledgement or response was received so the claim was resubmitted.
The dispute was denied so an appeal was filed. June we received the results of the appeal finding the charges to be actual charges and not fraud. No other explanation or proof was provided. As of this date we are still fighting with Walmart MoneyCard/Green Dot for the refund of the fraudulent charges. We followed all the procedures provided for the claim. Simply looking at the locations and dates of the purchases obviously reflects them 100’s of miles apart. We feel Walmart did not and still is not doing its due diligence to correct the problem and we need this corrected now. On another note, we’ve also noted several complaints received responses from Walmart/Green Dot advising the complainants were unable to be reached at the contact number provided. We can be reached after 6:30p EST to discuss a resolution.

There was a fraudulent charge on my account in a city I don't live in which i assume happens all the time. I file transaction dispute and it's denied. I ask the customer service what more info do I need and they said police report. Filed a police report yet denied again. I then call the store that my transaction happened and they have no information on me besides my card. They provided me with a receipt they had a signature that is different from mine and I sent it to be denied again. I provide my attendance record from work that shows I was working when this happened and once again denied. I then email the transaction despite all the information I have and still denied.
Today I had the manager of the store on a conference call with the dispute dept willing to give any information they need and they didn't know what to ask and still my case is denied. Biggest issue is no one is telling me why I call and they don't know. They keep saying I will receive a detailed explanation and I never get a call, email or text. So when I asked to speak with the supervisor they said they will call back. When I asked to remain on hold for the supervisor they hung up on me! This is the worst kind of burden to put on a customer especially when it's obvious no investigating and they have less than helpful attitudes. This shouldn't be this difficult if someone did their job. I can provide all the info on this subject to someone who can help but till then I wont put money in a Bank that REFUSES to protect it.

Overall I am satisfied but not getting access to my direct deposit a day early anymore has been very disappointing. I love the ability to lock my card but could find no way to dispute a fraudulent charge. I like the cash back from purchases at Walmart and the ability to stash money from the app. I haven’t had to pay a fee on the card yet either.

I’ve had the MoneyCard for almost two years and it’s awesome! Taxes and paychecks can be put on this card. The only thing that’s not the best is that it costs $3 to load money on the card from a paper check which I think shouldn’t cost anything if you put it on at Walmart.

The Monthly fee is ridiculous. If you want people to use your card more, eliminate or greatly reduce the monthly fee. Some of the card rules are counterproductive to using the card. The reloading fees are dumb & way too high. Restructuring your card rules to incentivize card usage is strongly advised.

Lost my card several weeks ago. Ordered a replacement, two weeks later, June 19, it’s still not here. Call up their customer service phone line and they tell me it was supposed to be delivered on a certain date, but obviously wasn’t. So they offered to cancel and send another card, but that wouldn’t until the end of the month. They told me we could not transfer funds to any other bank because it goes against policy. There’s no other way to access my funds, I cannot send money to anyone, even my PayPal because I “don’t have a card on file.” I even found my old card but they could not reactivate it because it’s flagged as lost/stolen. I’m a patient person but I have no way to access my money and I HAVE bills that NEED to be paid. Ridiculous.

Original Review: June 19, 2019
I have been using the Walmart MoneyCard for a few years and never had any issues until now. My card was set to expire in July. I loved how I was able to design my new card so I jumped on that. On June 2nd an email was sent advising me that my card was processed and it may take up to 2 weeks; but I was able to continue to use my current card until it arrives. That wasn't the truth. That same day, June 2nd my debit card was deactivated! I called the number on the card and go figure your connected to an outsourced customer service line that couldn't do anything to help but to tell you basically too bad, wait for the card.
It is now June 18th, no card has arrived. I was told today, another card will be sent but there is no option to expedite shipping and it will now start the "7 business day" shipping time. Just to be clear.. I haven't been able to pay rent, bills or even put groceries in my home because of this. Don't trust this service for a long period, it is not legitimate!

I’ve had this card for close to 5 months now and I’ve already had my account compromised. Not only was my account compromised, but I was refused help and I was unable to get any of my money back. The account specialists didn’t understand my questions, refused to transfer me to another specialist on multiple occasions. When my account was compromised I ordered a new debit card as anyone would, which couldn’t be tracked, by me or by the company, and took almost 3 weeks to receive it. So I was borrowing money for 3 weeks due to the fact I couldn’t withdraw or access any money without a card. Absolutely terrible card, terrible customer service, and horrible accountability.

Up until now I've had a good experience using this card. This however, is enough to turn me off permanently. I tried to access my app last night, to be greeted with "Account Blocked Pending Further Review."

So here I sit, out in the country where I have so little signal that I miss half my calls, waiting, hoping for a call. No name, no way to contact "corporate", and my entire cash fund is locked behind this block. I can appreciate security measures, but I am extremely frustrated. I had to miss an extremely important appointment today because I couldn't buy the gas to get there. I'm already starting to see bounce fees from some of my autopay bills.

I've had my account hacked, card stolen before and a hacking supposed to be continuously. Is it because I'm disabled and on a fixed income or is it because Walmart allows it and they know that they can't get caught so they target Walmart prepaid customers. You can't get through to anybody. They constantly deny your claims and my last claim on my car door so they denied it and added 200 some dollars extra charges on it, and I never said that. But if they'd read my email that they in my letter that I sent them of what occurred but they don't. They wanted and they delay the process saying they want it but then they get it.

I've lost it, I dropped it something and it was taken and I tried to call the merchants and emerges won't do anything with me. So I guess I'm just supposed to let them just take my money and be done with it and I press charges. 18 days on one and then they denied, didn't give me my provisional credit and now they're taking another 10 days for the same things but with the actual amount.

So I had a problem where I moved from the West Coast to the East and had to close my Chase Bank account because they don't have them on the east coast. They processed a bill that was submitted after I closed the account. They filed a complaint against me for the bounced fee and sent the letter informing me of this to the address I no longer lived in. This blocked me from opening a bank account so I had to use a Green Dot. Green Dot has been incredibly problematic. I had paid my car insurance and a month later I was rear-ended. The car insurance proceeded to tell me my insurance had expired because Green Dot had rejected a $80 payment when there was $120 in my account, causing me to file an sr22 for 3 years costing me thousands of dollars. They have rejected several charges since including two for my credit card and that credit card closed my account, hurting my credit. I had the money in the account when they did this.
Today I discovered that a shirt I bought with PayPal processed a $31 payment on May 31st when I had over $300 in my account. Talking to PayPal they told me Green Dot rejected the charge. I called to complain, got passed around to several departments and was hung up on by a supervisor. What is this level of unprofessionalism? They told me repeatedly that there was no indication that the charge had gone through on May 31st, despite documents proving they had from PayPal, and held the charge until June 10th when they pushed the charge through once I had spent the $300 thinking the charge had already processed. PayPal won't work unless the funds are available so this all seems impossible.
I can't talk to anyone who speaks English as a first language and I can't file a complaint against the supervisor who hung up on me, just got pointed over and over to June 3rd and June 10th as the dates of the purchase. There is no record of the May 31st payment they just keep apologizing and saying, "Sorry for your inconvenience." This is annoying. I want this investigated and fixed. I don't want an apology. I have solid proof Green Dot rejected the charge even though the funds were available. They also haven't kept the financial records which they are legally obligated to for a number of years, because they have no record of the May 31st charge when I clearly have the evidence the charge processed on that date from PayPal. Bank of America did this kind of transaction manipulation and were subject to a class action law suit.
