If they do not assist contact the Federal Reserve. My case has been sent to the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco Complaint Unit. I deposited my stimulus check after depositing my money into my Visa card and I been getting the run around every since. I'm not sure what GreenDot scams going on within but I would start with them. I have also contacted my attorneys office and GreenDot should have received the letter in the mail today August 9, 2021, Filed a fraud claim against GreenDot through Federal Trade Commission, Attorney General Consumer Protection Division and referred to a different department. Plus I'm going to end up civilly suing GreenDot because my money has yet to be received on an account I been using since 2017. GreenDot held my work check for an additional couple more days that finally released On August 3, 2021 despite my direct deposit attempt was on July 28, 2021. So it not only made me late paying bills but my vehicle is still in the shop up until I get paid again the end of the week. After I deposited my stimulus check and purchased some groceries and withdrew $40.00. My card was automatically blocked due to suspicious activity despite sending supporting documents over and over again to GreenDot. So now it's time to sue them civilly. Good luck!

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

On April 24, 3021 I discovered my account had been hacked I called Green Dot and they closed my account and vaulted the $12, 276.14 left in my account, denying me access to my money. $7000.00 was missing from my account. I was told I needed to file a dispute to get my stolen money returned. On May 7th my dispute paperwork was signed for at the Pasadena, CA...

Green Dot Green dot bank

I called green dot several times about monies missing from my account to no avail. They put charges on my statement before my dd come in. Right now when I called yesterday I was missing 215.13 or 225.13 . My accounts from their recordings of it didn't match up with what I spent. This happens every month. It's disgusting not knowing or being blocked from a person who can check and resolve these issues. I don't know what to do except leave green dot and hire an attorney. I think others are saying it's happening to them and getting back what I lost. That's even more outrageous. This has caused undue hardship and trauma and stress and I can't stand to talk to your people anymore in the phone because did how they act as if I am at fault or dont deserve to have my funds protected. This is not over by any means .

Desired outcome: I want all my money back and the same person that answers your customer service kept away from my accounts or removed from any contact with anything or anyone if my families business affairs

Green Dot Account locked for suspicious activity

Walmart GreenDot locked my account for so called suspicious activity. Their was no suspicious activity first and foremost. I received my stimulus check and cashed it at a Walmart money center and was charged an $8.00 fee out of the $1400 stimulus check in which I end up doing two transactions one of $1, 000 deposited onto my GreenDot account and $392 which was the remainder from the $1, 400. I bought my groceries on July 23, 2021 a little after 5:00 pm EST and withdrew $40.00. I'm not knowing around 5:36 pm my card was deactivated and blocked from use. But instead went to Walmart this morning to purchase Mucinex at the pharmacy and card declined twice!.

I have been getting my direct deposit checks deposited into my account since April 2017 through GreenDot with no issues nothing. After the card declined today, I called Walmart Money Card Green Dot and was transferred to the fraudulent department and spoke with a Jackie. Now why she is a supervisor is beyond me. The ditzy female had the audacity to send a copy of my photo ID front and back and to hold my ID card in my hand and send a photo. Plus I even went as far to upload the check information that was cashed and deposited into my account.

I completed everything Jackie wanted but at the same time she clearly violating patient privacy laws. When documents such as photo IDS, social security cards are sent and encryption should take place. Customer's should also receive a email response stating we received your documents here is your case # and or ID number for your records but please note it can take up to two business days to review your case and account. You receive nothing from them.

My car was dropped off at the shop today for repairs in which I will need by next Monday. Do I see that occurring today July 23, 2021 on July 26, 2021? Absolutely not! Plus my rent is due next week with a work direct deposit set to deposit into my account on July 28, 2021 what do I do? So not only is my stimulus money locked with my account either closed or frozen but my biweekly direct deposit check is now in jeopardy of floating around and I will probably have to be issued a paper check which will mean me being late paying my rent. Thank god I bought myself some food yesterday and pulled off $40.00.

I'm so stressed because I commute to and from work and will have to be onsite next week. So not only will I be without my vehicle but me paying rent on time and probably charged a late fee. I went ahead and filed a BBB complaint and following up with the Federal Reserve on Monday. I also filed another complaint with ConsumerFraudLegalServices but also contact my attorneys office. This is disgusting and my gut feeling is telling me that the process is going to take more than 2 business days. My concern again is why not send an email back to customer's that the documents has been received and state in the autoreply that it can take up to two business days to receive an answer? It's that simple! Green Dot hire so many foreign people that it's sometimes hard to understand what they're saying over the phone. Thank goodness I recorded my phone calls today as evidence because I'm going to seek legal counsel. Green Dot was never like this in the past, and I did direct deposits with them because I liked the fact that I would receive my money a day or so ahead of time. But to endure this type of headache, anxiety and stress is unwarranted. Now I have to feverishly contact my job on Monday July 26, 2021 to explain the situation and figure out how to stop the direct deposit from coming on July 28, 2021 into my blocked and deactivated account. The sad part is that without customers Green Dot would not be in business. When companies starts to abuse the privileges it's given that hurts the same consumers that keeps them in business is when it really becomes an issue. Hopefully the Federal Reserve will be able to guide me on what else I need to do in this matter on Monday 26, 2021! I need my funds released to me asap, my account reactivated and for the nonsense to be resolved asap!

Desired outcome: Activate the account to gain access to my stimulus funds and my direct deposit check that's scheduled to be deposited into my account on July 28,2021

GreenDot Corporate Resolution Department contacted me August 9, and 11th to tell me "oh your account is unlocked" which was a surprise on August 11, 2021. I still did not get a reason for my account becoming unlocked. The only thing I could think is the letter they received from my attorney's office informing them of a civil suit and the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco and Better Business Bureau applied pressure to them. I removed my money from my account so fast it was not funny. I asked the representative what was the reason as to why my card was locked? The only thing she tried to say oh well your ID was not legible enough? Like really? I submitted my photo ID multiple times. I will never bank with GreenDot and I caution anyone who are experiencing any issues with them to go legal if you can and first and foremost contact the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve regulates the banking system and good luck!

Can you tell me what type of lawyer you used please. Green Dot is currently holding over $9000 of my unemployment money. I've filed all the complaints minus the BBB and I'm set to send a letter of intent on Monday but I'm in a rural area and I'm having trouble finding a lawyer who handles this. Feeling a bit lost out here on my own.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Are you affiliated with GreenDot? At this point the Federal Reserve, Better Business Bureau, my attorney office submitted a letter to GreenDot, Federal Trace Commission and I reported it as a fraud case towards Better Business Bureau and also filed a complaint with Attorney General Consumer Protection Division, and case was referred over to another department that is affiliated with the state's Attorneys General office. GreenDot started the problem and I tried to resolve it by submitting my supporting documents to them multiple times trying to be as transparent as I can. GreenDot also lied to the Better Business Bureau and said that they have tried to contact me on August 1, 2, 3 which is another lie. It's not hard to have phone logs for incoming and outgoing calls be provided to me through my phone service provider. No one can disclose as to why the investigation was completed with no answer. No worries, me suing them and getting the other companies involved was the best thing I could do. They're a bunch of crooks on some fraudulent stuff within and this thing is not about to go away no time soon. If it take 60 days to civilly sue them. Then that's what I'm going to do because again the only suspicious activity event that took place was me depositing my stimulus check onto my Visa Debit card. As many complaints as other's have stay away from the madness. I know what I'm about to do.

Green Dot Fraudulent account

I received a letter today from the IRS, stating that my stimulus check #3 was deposited into a green dot account. I have never had a green dot account.
I have been searching for and sending letters and faxes to IRS since they posted on line that my check was deposited into an account ending in 1581. I also spoke to a IRS representative. I have now sent messages via facebook to Green Dot and tried calling them. I had no problem receiving #1 and #2 stimulus checks as they were paper checks.

Desired outcome: my stimuls check.

Green Dot Stimulas check

Our stimulas check was sent to a green dot card and used May 13, 2020. We have been trying since then to get it back. I talked with a lady there that told me she saw where the money was used and asked me to file a fraud report in which I did, then I was to fill out a police report in which I did and then tell Irs to request the payment back, all of which I did and now it is over a year and I have not gotten the money. We always file a joint return and this was put on a green dot card in only my husbands name. I dont understand at all why it has taken this long for us to get our money back. we filed our income tax and tried getting it back that way but have gotten a letter saying it was incorrect so Please will you look into this file and get our money back to the rightful owners as we never got it. thanks Deborah Elder, The file will be under Gerald Elder, please check the file for the police report requested

Desired outcome: our first stimulas check of 2400.00

Green Dot Debit Card--Cannot Receive Written Cancellation Confirmation

I mistakenly bought a Green Dot debit card at CVS. I thought it was a gift card, but I could not get a refund. To activate the card, which had $30 on it, I had to provide a great deal of personal information and establish an account.

I quickly used the $30 in a matter of hours. A $7.95 service charge was deducted--my bad, I made the mistake of grabbing this card by mistake. Ok lesson learned, but not very nice.

I noticed an FAQ that stated that even though your balance is zero, you will still be charged a $7.95 monthly fee. BUT, on the instructions in the card and in my account online, it said that your account would be cancelled when the card ran down to zero. Very confusing. What to do?

Online I read that in my account, if I pushed the Security Tab, there would be a portal to cancel. But when I did so, there was no such option. The only option was for a Lost or Stolen Card.

The insert accompanying the card said I could either run down my account to zero or cancel online. Again, no way to cancel online.

I called customer service. The agent cancelled my account, but could provide no WRITTEN PROOF OF CANCELLATION. No email (although they had my email), no letter (although they had my address), and no Confirmation/Cancellation code number. This is very suspicious.

I got to speak with a supervisor after a very lengthy hold time. The connection with the agent was good, but the call to the supervisor kept breaking up and going dead. I couldn't get much of what she said, except for the bottom line--NO WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF CANCELLATION. I asked her simply to send me an email on the spot. She said she could not do it.

This whole process seems very deceptive. I dread a big pile of charges arriving by mail some day, saying that my account was never cancelled. Please send me a simple email or snail mail. Is that too much to ask?

Desired outcome: Written Confirmation of Account Cancellation

Jul 06, 2021 7:06 pm EDT

I am the person who wrote this and this is what happened. I explained the situation on Green Dot's online contact form. They got back to me quickly, explaining that they couldn't confirm my cancellation. I would have to log into my account. And here is what confused me--I thought that if my account had been cancelled, I would NOT be able to access it, yet I still could do so AFTER my phone call to cancel. The email message said that even if you have closed the account, you can still access it online.

I did not want to call the phone line again--you must constantly give your SS out multiple times to the phone agents. And, they will NOT provide a confirmation code. I had read online from a Green Dot customer that once you close the account, you will get a confirmation code. But, YOU WILL NOT.

I logged into my online account. I went into chat. The first agent gave me wrong information--she said to log out, then log in, and that I would get an error message that would prove a closed account. This did not work.

The second agent checked my info and assured me that my account was closed. BUT, she said Green Dot will NOT send an email or confirmation code. I still wonder why not? Why did they change their policy?

The chat agent said there are two ways to confirm that your account is closed--try to log into the mobile app. If it is closed, it will not let you access your account OR try to deposit money--if your account is closed, you will not be able to do so.

The agent did not answer the question regarding me receiving a personal credit/debit card. I have sent a certified letter to Green Dot requesting that they not do this.

So, it looks like the account is closed, but I will keep you posted. Looks like the best option to close is to use the chat line from your account so that you can communicate clearly and so that you do not have to worry about your SS being stolen--I am worried about this still.

I will keep you posted if there are any other glitches.

Green Dot Customer Service Agent

Today I called Green Dot and was trying to talk to the customer service representative. On my end, the connection was strong - I could hear her clearly & there was no interference of any kind. Each time I would start to say something the customer service rep would talk at the same time, then I would stop and tell her to go ahead and say whatever she was going to say but then she would say something like oh no and there would be silence. So again, I would attempt to say something and in the middle of what I was saying, the customer service rep would interrupt and say she couldn't hear This went on for awhile until she said that she was going to end the call because she couldn't hear me.

I waited about 10 minutes and called back and the same customer service rep answered - I didn't get her name but it was a girl with a high voice. Then the call ended. I was left feeling frustrated and wondering whether or not it was a drop call or if the customer service rep hung up on me.

I needed assistance because I didn't receive the link to reset my username and password. My problem was not resolved and I was left feeling so upset.

Desired outcome: Provide me with the assistance that I needed to protect my account from my girlfriend who had access to my account because she was the one who created my account

I am going through Federal Reserve to get my issue resolved and would recommend you do the same. A young lady on BBB website who filed a complaint due to direct deposit had her issues resolved asap! It's crazy how the money hungry monsters love for us to deposit are money or upload money to the debit card. But when it is a so called fraudulent activity they want for us to send personal privacy information to them such as our ID cards with our ID information on it. The dummy in the fraudulent department named Jackie told me to send a photo of my front and back of my ID card plus me holding my ID card. She is super stupid because I definitely contact an attorney about the matter. File with the Better Business Bureau and definitely follow up with the Federal Reserve. I plan on doing it on July 26, 2021. Now I'm without my vehicle that will be repaired on Monday but have no money to get it out the shop. Plus my rent is due next week along with my direct deposit from my work set to deposit into a blocked non activated card on July 28, 2021 and I'm knowing it's going to take more than 2 business days to resolve. The money that was deposited into my debit card was a cashed stimulus check that can be verified by the Walmart representative at the money center and my receipts. Good luck!

Are you affiliated with GreenDot? I sent a message to the email and received a response. Federal Reserve is now involved, Better Business Bureau gave GreenDot to respond by August 19, 2021, A letter that needed to be revised by my attorneys office is going in the mail today to a couple of the locations listed online. FDIC provided me with a Utah address and GreenDot is owned by BonneVille Bank in Utah. I filed a complaint with Consumer Protection Division, and submitted more information to Federal Reserve San Francisco Bank Complaint Unit and stopped contacting GreenDot at this point. Plus I’m suing them because they finally released my direct deposit yesterday. My job is moving as fast as they can to get my funds in my hands plus they’re holding my stimulus check. So two of my incomes been held from GreenDot. Suing them will be better. I will in fact get my money back so no worries. I’m going to sit back and let the big boys handle the matter for me. None of this should have happened. The incompetent fools received my receipts for cashing the check and depositing it to my Visa debit and photo ID multiple times. A dumb Jackie in the fraud department told me to also send a photo with me holding my IDcin my hand as well. I cannot make this crap up. The Visa debit that I have had since 2017 is associated with my monthly bills and biweekly direct deposit. Jay from the fraud department had the audacity to tell me no direct deposit was ever tied to my account smh. So who really are the scam artist about to get in trouble? Oh I also recorded all the phone calls. I spoke with Jackie, Dilip, Iman, Yen, Alice, Chandra, Earl, Shawn, Lee, Alan, manes Kumar online chat, Roger in the Philippines in the Complaint Resolution Department, Yogesg online chat, John and Percy in the Complaint Resolution Department as well and Jay in the fraud department. The crazy part two additional cases were created yet I had been referencing one case number and submitted my documents to two different email addresses provided to me multiple times. It’s nothing but games with them and I will get the matter resolved plus my money refunded and then some. Closing cases and creating new ones but never receiving from me my supporting documents for the two other case numbers. Yep sounds like they’re scamming within. A legitimate bank disclose why you did not pass the investigation process but not GreenDot. They’re hoping me along with others will go away but that will not happened at least for me. I’m here and have nothing but time on my hand to get them straight pertaining to me and my case period. All I can say is that I hope it was worth what they were doing. All the calls were recorded ha! The next will be the local news.

Green Dot Unlimited visa debit card

I used my green dot debit card at the grocery store last night, even got cash back, 6/19/21. Today I went to the ATM and it was declined. I went to the hardware store, declined. Another ATM, declined. The receipt said unauthorized usage. I went on the app and called green dot. There's no block or lock on the card. I can't access my money. I can't buy food or anything else. There is money in my account. This has happened several times since I got the card. Green dot needs to leave my account alone. If I want my card locked, I'll do it myself. The only thing I expect from them is reliable customer service. Other than that, leave my card account the hell alone.

Desired outcome: unlock, unblock my card and leave my account alone
