MetaBank vaniolla gift car

My name is Tim Chambers. I was told a charge was made on my gift card to " Crocs". There is a zero liability clause on the card for any fraud charges. The vanilla gift card agent told me Crocs had filed a dispute to my claim I did not make a purchase. I contacted "Crocs" directly. After checking their records under my gift cad number and any purchases made from my area, they found no charges and had no idea why anyone would claim they had filed a dispute on a transaction that was never made. I was told I could not retrieve my funds and the card blocked until March 31st. That is ridiculous!

Claimed loss: $400 on the card. Balance of $280.00

Desired outcome: I am a disabled vet and I need my money now not 3 months from now.

Is MetaBank legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals MetaBank as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 19% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, MetaBank stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering MetaBank should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

MetaBank earns 91% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: MetaBank achives 91% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

We found clear and detailed contact information for MetaBank. The company provides a physical address, 12 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 2 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Metabank.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Metabank.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

MetaBank as a website that uses an external review system. While this can provide valuable feedback and insights, it's important to carefully evaluate the source of the reviews and take them with a grain of salt.

We looked up MetaBank and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While MetaBank has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 19% of 169 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • MetaBank protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

MetaBank Unauthorized use of my gift card

I purchased a vanilla gift card from CVS. when I went to use the gift card the next day, I had a 0 bal. when I notified both CVS and Vanilla, they both stated that Visa cards are protected from fraud and that Meta Bank will issue a full refund of $ 100.00. my email is [protected]@hotmail.com. I purchased the gift card on 1/23/2023 went to use on 11/24/2023 and was advised I had a 0 bal. someone used my gift card at an unknown target once for $ 32.32. then again in the amount of $ 87.68. I do not shop at target. I cannot understand how someone can use this gift card without my pin. this is an inside job. how else can my gift card be used. And VISA states that my money is safe from fraud.

Claimed loss: $ 100

Desired outcome: full refund

MetaBank Vanilla gift card

Respected sir/madam

As per date oct 22 2023 around 4 pm I tried to check my vanilla gift card which initially holds 100 usd via portal provided by google but once I followed the process and fill the details of my card in a matter of time someone stole 98 usd and did shopping somewhere in target here in Austin Texas

My concern

Is that portal legit or just phishing site?

How can I get my money back?

MetaBank Excessive Fees for account holders

I have been banking with Ace (Meta) for 4 years. In that t8me I was always charged to cash and deposit checks even though I had an account. Recently my account was blocked for suspicious activity saying that I used it too much and they didn't know when it would be unblocked. I could not transfer m9ney which caused problems with paying bills and I could not use my cash app even though it was tied to my account. I paid $85 to cash a check and then $5 to deposit it into THEIR account, $5 for maintenance and a withdrawal fee. You are better off getting a chime. They are a joke. The representative called and asked what time I was available to talk and never called. Please don't use this bank.

MetaBank Gift card

In June 2023 I purchased a gift card of $100 for a birthday present recently my brother who I purchased it for, tried to use the card and was unable to use it. It said that it had no money on the card I have read so many complaints from this company. Target should be a shame of themselves to even do business with this company. This card has so many complaints on their website as well, and now that I have googled information, I see that everyone that deals with meta-bank has had complaints Fraudulent I am going to go to the BB and to all of my social media outlets and let everyone know that they are selling fraudulent cards

Desired outcome: A refund

MetaBank Meta Pay money not returned to sender from Paypal

On February 22,2023 a payment was made by Gigi Rodriguez to me, Beverly Evvard via Facebook Messenger. Due to the debit card linked to my account being cancelled, the $760 went to a Paypal account owned by a third party. The third party was contacted, and on March 10th, Paypal closed the third party account and sent the $760 via Meta Pay back to the original sender, being Gigi Rodriguez. However, Gigi has NEVER received the return payment and there is a fraud request submitted on the payment method she used to make the original payment.

I am getting really tired of attempting to have the $760 retrieved, and plan to put in complaints to let people know that Meta Pay isn't a guaranteed source of money security. When I write directly on Facebook Messenger, I get a generic message, which shows me they are not paying attention, even when I sent the verification documentation.

Desired outcome: We need the missing $760 returned IMMEDIATELY to Gigi Rodriguez or to me, Beverly Evvard so that the case can be settled. Was unable to upload the scanned documents with all of the case numbers due to an incompatible format.

MetaBank Gift cards

I receive a 50.00 gift card every year for doing a in home medical service. I did one in 2021 and 2022, I have the cards, on the cards the card reads, the funds do not expire, it does not say the funds are extracted 2.50 a month for not using them. I called the number on the back, they said that if you dont use them in a year, you are charged 2.50 a month. No where on the card does it say that, it took the whole 50.00. I called the other card which it says is that the funds do not expire, no where on that card does it say, that a 2.50 fee will be deducted every month for not using it. I never heard of this. This is so wrong. Why should a bank be given the right to take my gift card money.? I did a service to get a perk from my insurance co, they offer. Every year, they are getting ready to deduct another 2.50. In june for not using it, I went use them on sunday may 20th, and discovered this. Now the card I got 45.00 on, no body will take the card, they say there is a problem with the card, amazon, walmart, easysprit, krogers, now why is this card bad? It says there is a balance of 45.00 on it but I cant use it. Some one please explain this to me.

Desired outcome: i want my 50.00 and my 5.00 so far they have taken on the other card,

MetaBank Replacement card

Can’t get these rude employees, customer svc reps and supervisors included to send my replacement card. 6 weeks now - stop stalling! Stop conveniently hanging up! Where is company pride, compassion for ppl? I’m reading reviews of other poor innocent ppl who are suffering all because they have lost their money with pathward cards. I am dealing with the same thing.

Debit card expired 3/2023
Replacement card requested 4/4/2023
Multiple calls to metabank customer svc reps who hung up on me many times
5/4 still no card, just promises to send with arrival of card in 7-10 more days
Multiple calls once again with more convenient dropped calls
No other way possible to retrieve money other than with replacement card per your staff!
Cust svc reps, supervisors - didn’t have capability to see if card has been mailed. No updated technology? How’s that possible for such a huge company?
Todays date 5/10/2023- still no card.

Spending every available minute to post my negative experiences with pathward bank and it’s staff! I will not stop until all wrongs are made right. News stations, local and abroad are being contacted. Social media used to warn others to beware! Maybe exposure on tv stations who will let me, along with others who have been burned by pathward, tell their stories! I am beyond shocked that this is the type treatment pathward allows to happen to sooo many of us hardworking individuals! Whatever it takes to get my voice heard! Please know i’m keeping a journal of careful notes.

No

Desired outcome: I want my money, every penny ASAP, followed by closing this account FOREVER
