If I was able to rate them lower I would. My card stopped working and after several attempts to get a new card after 2 weeks finally received it and still does not work and they still tried charging me to replace it. Trying to rectify the problem they said they would have a supervisor call back several times and still no call back. They stopped taking my phone calls, the last call they said do not call until you have replacement card, replacement card does not work and they will still not take my card. I have auto deposit, they have my money, I am unable to get my money. On a fixed income in poor health. Will be homeless without my money. How can they treat customers like this. Still waiting after a month.

I have been using the same prepaid card through WalMart for more than five years.  After Green Dot took over the cards (previously issued by GE Capital) their service sucks.  My card was abruptly cancelled with no warning.  When I called to find out what was going on they gave me the same rote answer:  I had too many transactions.  I was never given a warning or option to find another payment method.  They are still holding my funds 15 days later (which they gladly took just two days prior to cancelling the card).  I cannot get my money refunded and I am on a limited income so this has caused me many problems.  Don't do business with this company!

I feel you. They collected $6349 and the very hour the money went on my card the locked it for "suspicious activity" I had to send a copy of my ID to them and they couldnt read 2 letters on the address and said they could not verify my identity. I had to get a new drivers license and they still haven't released my money to me. Don't ever do business with these people. At no time was I told they would need my ID to verify my identity and throughout this whole ordeal I have only received 1 email to tell me they blocked my card. I have had an awful time trying to get information. I will never use one of these cards again. There are to many good providers out there to have to deal with this awful awful awful customer service.

This green dot rip off card wants your social security number before you can get your money

They froze my account without warning and now I cannot even get a hold of anyone. Absolutely a terrible Bank and I do not recommend anyone using Green Dot Bank as an option for banking.

Bought a prepaid visa (debit) card at Walmart.  Loaded it up with $500.  The next day, attempted to make a charge, got a charge rejection, went and checked, the bank said it had only received $30 from Walmart.  I went to the Walmart store and the store manager called the bank, they told the manager they'd get back to me within 24 hours.  Didn't call, I called, they said they had not said anything like that to the store manager.  I have the receipts.  I am going to the police.  A customer should never be put into a situation like this.

I have to say I am surprised, but Green Dot is a great way to bank if you dont want or cant get a regular bank account.
I have gotten my tax refunds, direct deposits as well as regular MoneyPak Deposits & have never had any problem.
The end of March 2014 my account was hacked (due to the Target security breach, & I immediately filed a claim hours after it happened & I noticed it. They credited my account back every single dime & sooner than the date they gave me.
Customer service is fairly quick to answer and always friendly.
I do wish they would offer other online services from the website though.
Definitely would give them a 9/10.

Piss poor financial institution ! Money was defrauded out of my account,Greendot Bonneville Bank GoBank are all fraudulent banks, they keep different sets of books,the juggel and/or manipulate other customer's accounts with each other to crunch numbers(or try to),transactions including dates and amounts don't match,missing transactions,website access and ATM access down for days,no access to your own money,unable to understand the Philippine language when calling Manilla,people in Manilla have no idea how to answer your questions and no little to nothing about banking practices as they are uneducated,compromised security and privavcy of all your personnal information with people over in India and Philippines,the people in the Philippines and India and China and Mexico are not under jurisdiction of laws from the USA, bad nightmare really. To late to stop direct deposit and will have to call police and file fraud report on Green Dot/Bonneville Bank/GoBank. The use different aliases to escape liability for fraud. I am out maybe a $1000. I have to beg my family to do a wire transfer as I have no money for food and basic needs.

Personable, Honest and Reliable. They know your name, get you in and out quickly, and don't charge you as much as others for their services. This is one of the few banks that deduct your check amount from your account when it is presented instead of when it is written--honest business dealing.

I've been waiting for my refund for too long. Green Dot says you'll have your refund quicker than most but that's not true IRS tells me my money been deposited since Feburary 13 and it haven't been deposited to my card yet and its the 15. I advise you guys to go with other options!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Refunds takes too long, customer service cant provide you with the answers your looking for.

did you ever get your refund because the same thing is happening to me?
by moish 2016-12-30 11:27:59
Purchased one of your Visa prepaid cards at CVS for my daughter. Value $100.00 Nowhere on the packaging does it inform the customer that the first purchase incurs a $10.00 fee. Now there is only $90.00 left? This is outrageous and false advertising. Who would buy a card with $100.00 and receive only $90.00. That's crazy and dishonest. Would like my money back. Have to inform the Better Business Bureau. Just find it dishonest. Would never consider Green Dot again.
