Ratings and Reviews

Works but not for me

I tried this out for a couple of weeks and it wasn't bad. It does what it's suppose to do. You do get 5% cash back on qualified purchases but unless you run your card a lot, I don't think it's worth it considering the $9.95 monthly membership fee. I knocked it down 2 stars because support is awful! I had questions on getting set up for mobile check deposit and they were very vague and could never give me a direct answer. They kept repeating the same thing each time I reached out via email and told me to refer to their FAQ because apparently that is where I can find all my answers. I scoured through their FAQs from the beginning and nothing in there would help answer my questions. When I asked them to direct me to where I can find that information they said they actually don't have instructions on how to get set up with direct deposit. It turns out it just takes some time before you are given access (I discovered this on my own). If they would have answered my initial question of "does this take some time to go though or should I be given immediate access?" It would've saved a ton of back and forth! I decided to just stick with my current bank at this point and am closing my green dot account. I could see it work for budgeting if you can stomach the monthly fee.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. In order to qualify to use the Mobile Check Deposit feature you must a Direct Deposit in any amount or reload $150 in the last 60 days. Please note, that your initial load and using the Send Money Feature do not count towards the $150 requirement. We hope this information was helpful.

Thank you,
Green Dot Corporation

Green Dot is AWESOME!!!

I've had Green Dot for over 9 years and I love it. I get my direct deposit on it and as long as you get over $1000 direct deposit or make a certain amount of purchases the monthly fee is waived. I like the fact how we have that option. I have had issues with getting a hold of customer service but the good out weight the bad. That is why I kept it at 5 stars. I recently had someone get my card information and charger over $100 before I was able to catch on. I was having a hard time talking to a representative but was able to submit an form online. Green Dot was so good in returning all my money and issuing me a new card. Over all I trust Green Dot, my boyfriend and sister use it as well. I love how you are able to send money to people who have green dot and even pay bills. They will send a check on your behalf to whatever bill company you are trying to pay. Money is taken out right away and pends for a few days just like it would for a regular bank. I have NEVER had any other probs like everyone else is claiming. If I have cash one me and need to add funds I like how I can go to 7 eleven, Walmart, etc to load it for a small fee. Overall I am please with Green Dot and how it's worked for me. I def recommend this to anyone. I have the regular gold one.

I Had recently made an account with green dot . I received a replacement card because the first one never came !!! I saw on the card it said Easy activation so I logged into my account to activate the card. I went out to eat and it got declined I then went to the grocery store it said unauthorized. I tried to contact them via chat and it was terrible they told me to look on the back of my card for a number to call which it doesn't have a number. They then provided me a number and I called the First Lady was so confused and I got transferred to someone else. She tells me I have two accounts and the new card I received wasn't linked to the account I just put money in !!! WHAT ?! Maybe if you guys had a way for people to see Which card number they have on their account they wouldn't make mistake as to putting money in that account . I wasn't aware of me having two accounts because this was the ONLY card I received. I then asked how can I take my money out because I don't want the bank anymore I just got it and it's already problems . She tells me I would have to wait for a replacement card in 9 days but as a courtesy she would have it expedited to me for 5 days like that makes a difference . This bank is so inconvenient and complicated . All I want is my money that I went to go deposit not knowing this was the correct card linked to it !! NEVER AGAIN !
