Apparently I signed up for the Green Dot card when I filed my taxes. Although I don't remember doing so - that's what the IRS claimed in the letter they sent me. The letter states my refund was deposited into an account with Green Dot in February 2023. I can not get a hold of a live person to discuss this issue. I never received a card from Green Dot that had my tax refund on it.
Claimed loss: $171
Desired outcome: I would like to actually receive my tax refund that I should have received a year ago.
Transactions
To whom this may concern, You guys will disregard my concerns and that’s fine as I will be talking to my lawyer today. 11/7 I did a cash advance at my credit union and it denied twice on their end however the first transaction in the amount of $2,201.92 is pending even the bank declined it. I have chatted over 10 times and keep receiving different answer...

Dear Green Dot Corporation, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the services provided by Green Dot Corporation. I recently purchased a Green Dot card, loaded it with $20 on 10/25/2023, and received a direct deposit on 10/27/2023. However, when I attempted to make a purchase on Saturday, October 28, 2023, I was unable to do so as my card...
Read full review of Green DotPayment not received.
I am very upset. I have been told so many times that your check will be here tomorrow. I have never got my refund issued check. This is for case #[protected]. I finally asked to talk to a supervisor right now and then the supervisor Rhen gets on the phone and said mam you will have to wait 3weeks after the 3rd. I said we are going on almost 5weeks and this is not fair. I even opened up a new card and put minimal amount of money on it to make it easier just in case. I have verified my address over and over. This is not right. I will turn this into the Federal Reserve Board if something does not happen. Not fair that I keep going told information that is incorrect and then when I let them know it has been almost 5 weeks since the 3rd they said Oh. That is not a correct response.
Claimed loss: $808.00
Desired outcome: I need a refund check rushed to me. I can not keep waiting.
Expedite fee for new card that was not expedited
I have been a customer for over 15 years. I applied for a new card to be expedited was charged 15 dollars for this. It never came my old card I cannot use I have bills due. I have called twice asked for a supervisor and put on hold for hours to no avail. I get my social security check on this account. I am calling social security to see what is going on if I don't get an answer soon.
Desired outcome: new card now

Prepaid card
Somebody stole my 500.00 off my card before I could register it and greendot wants to give me back $13.00. I bought the card brand new and it was registered in another person so when I put my money on the card the other person took it. I have talked to over 100 people from greendot and they DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CARDS! they wont even tell me who the other person is. I have the card and the receipt.
Desired outcome: i would like to get my money back.
Reload
$500 I reloaded in June. I have called many many times with just a runaround or getting "disconnected" I have been told multiple times that the money would be there the next day or 3 days and it hasn't should up as of 4 months later. I have spoken with customer service, supervisors, corporate office and retail division with no solution. I just want my money and never to deal with them again
Desired outcome: My money back
My prepaid card
I was receiving my SSI payments on my card for more than 5 years. The past three month someone has accessed my account and EFT transferred various amounts out of my account. The total came to 1,640 dollars. I have turned in a dispute. I received an email yesterday 10-13-23 that they have granted a provincial credit of the above amount and I had full access to the funds. When I called today to ask why my card was not working, They told me that the company decided to close the account due to my profile. I would like to have the funds returned to me before I take further action.
Desired outcome: Would like my funds

I have been trying to report fraud in my acct for days now. Green Dot contacted my on Monday 25th of Sept 2023 that someone was using my identity in order to purchase products from Burlington Coat Factory. I told them my card was on me and I was at home. The sent me verification code and the operator said she would handle it and my account was good to go. 2 days later I find out my account was closed I have a zero balance and no one can help me. Customer Service just hung up and now no one is picking up.
Unacceptable! This has got to get resolved or I'm going straight to my social media platform. I need someone to call me [protected]
Desired outcome: Put my funds back into my account.
