Green Dot
Reviews and Complaints

The funds in my greendot account exceeded it's limit. It was blocked, I need to pay my rent in order not to be homeless, pay bills and get my project done as soon as possible. I've been suffering I can't get my medications. My landlord is about to send me out of the house, I have sent my ID countless times, not fixed still I'm beginning to get very sick, that I might end up in coma. Please it's been 22days now I couldn't have access to my money. I need it unblocked!

When this company took my security deposits, which was hundreds upon hundreds of dollars; they deliberately steered me to the higher interest rate Greendot Platinum Card and made the lower interest rate Primor card harder for me to obtain by saying their computer couldn't recognize the or verify the address but yet this same company had no problems with changing my address, to send out out the 19% apr rather than the lower apr cards that were around 9% apr.

The number on the back of the Greendot Platinum Card never worked. There was a shady call center out of NY and they didn't know anything, including how many accounts that I had with the company.

No number works for Greendot Platinum and even if I put in my Social Security Number, Carr number and DOB; it simply comes back No Account Found via the automated service.

I never would have gotten any card with a Pasadena, Ca Address and even that contact address kept changing in my google search results.

Now I have some idiotic rep, sounding like she keeps calling from a sweat shop out of Asia; calling me over my Greendot card but this is the same girl that has continuously answered the alleged call center, whenever I called about a separate card, which has nothing to do with greendot.

I think that my greendot card like some of my other cards are hacked and I was just trying to get it correct because a complaint needs to be filed with the Federal Government against companies like google; which also hacked and or spoofed other websites.

Can you please release my funds. I have requested my funds for 10 months requesting to discontinue relations with these organizations. Over this period my funds have been deducted over $200 dollars illegally. I have sent 6 emails with ID, Address verifications, and made hundreds of calls. Every time I get a New case number, and a request for the information I have forwarded to [protected]@greendot.com / [protected]@greendot.com / None of which have these emails been opened ie. TRACKING... I need my money ... I am now homeless with no way to recover my funds becasue Greendot has confiscated them and refuse to release. After months of complaining sending the propr documents and following up with calls I still have yet to recieve my funds.

Card number: [protected]

Trying to make contact to get my User ID and Password, which were both lost. The card was registered, but it has not been activated yet because I cannot get my User ID and Password. The phone number only gives information about using contact methods that do not work.

Also, I cannot make any contact with the website because I cannot input, as is stated before, my User ID and Password. Thus, it is a dead end situation that exists with no hope of resolution. The website is, therefore, unresponsive when I try to get my needed User ID and Password.

I need to activate my card but have been rendered incapable of ever doing so. The company has my email address.

They got my 15 thousand dollars and they want me to verify my self with no explanation of how to do so the real way all the ways they tell you to verify is not true I'm unable to verify and it's there fault on purpose

Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Juan Herrera Martinez and I own a contracting business in Fredericksburg, Texas (address: Fredericksburg, Texas 78624). I NEED YOUR HELP.

Four months ago, I purchased a Green Dot Visa Premier card at our local Walmart with the intention of having easily accessible online funds due to the current COVID pandemic. Subsequently, I made several deposits in what I considered a safe online bank. The deposits included my SBA COVID-19 PPP payment of $19, 000.00 and $11, 000 into my Green Dot Debit Card Account. Unfortunately, Green Dot has been blocking these funds of $24, 974.16 since their deposit three months ago.

Additional information:
1. IRS stimulus check withholding
In July 6, 2020 the IRS deposited $19, 000.00 into my Green Dot account. I have been trying to recover these funds since then with no success.

2. In addition, I have tried since July 6, 2020 to have my account unblocked to recover ANY of the funds in my account and have had zero result in doing so. I have sent well over 25 documents of information to Green Dot; one was a "click photo" requested by them of both sides of my Texas Driver's License.

3. They have failed to return numerous calls and emails when I have attempted to communicate with them during this ordeal. I have called more than 45 times and I am repeatedly and falsely told that I will have my Debit Card unblocked within two business days. Their response is a stream of continuous lies and fabricated excuses. They will not help me when I ask to speak to a supervisor or someone above the Rep/Agent from Green Dot Corporation. Their response: "there is none available to help you". A few times, I was told a supervisor would contact me in 72 hrs (this has never happened either). When I said I would wait for the supervisor on hold, the Agent was told hang up on me.

4. Green Dot Bank Checking Account / Direct Deposit
On July 3, 2020, I received a Small Emergency SBA Covid-19 loan in the amount of $11, 958.00, a week after these funds were deposited, they froze my account, including much-needed unemployment funds. When I called, they told me to send my driver's license and loan documents to a verifying email address. I SENT THEM THIS INFORMATION. They said it would be 3 to 5 business days before the information would be verified, and the block would be taken off. I called the next day to make sure they had received the documents. They verified that they had received them and that the documents were under review. I called several more times to check on the status of the documents and they responded with the same information that the documents were being reviewed. They then told me that "tomorrow is day 5, funds will be released" and to call back then to check on the account status. When I called back, they said that the documents had NOT been received and that I needed to start the process all over again. I requested and they got a supervisor and she said the same thing. All they would say: "I'm sorry to hear that you sent the documents."

5. Online review shows numerous and serious similar complaints pertaining to Green Dot...'I have read the same (in online reviews) serious issues from other Green Dot victims; we are all at the mercy of this false Green Dot Bank".

6. I understand that I will have to file a complaint with the FDIC Regulator for Green Dot. Here is the website: www.federalreserveconsumerhelp.gov. I have included all basic account information in this letter.
In conclusion, you see that I am in a distressing and serious situation with this bank.

My family and my business are in desperate need of these government-allotted funds in order to survive.
I need your help in obtaining access to these funds and in unblocking my account. Please let me know if you are able to handle my case, and if so, please inform me what my next steps would be in order to resolve this matter.
Respectfully,

Juan Herrera Martinez

I called in the next day to make sure they recieved the documents and they verified they recieved them and that they are under review. I called several more times to check on the status and they said the same thing.

I recently had my unemployment money deposited to my green dot account last 4 of my card is #3584 and from the moment it was deposited greendot put a block on it for security purposes which i completely understand so i follow protocol when i call and talk to customer service, which was i needed to wait for up to 2 business days for a corporate call back well i wait and wait two business days then call back only to be told i have to wait 2 more days for them to call back because greendot corporate office never called me back in the first 2 business day requirement so i finally get a call back from a very rude and unprofessional corporate staff member who was extremely rude and aggressive and flat out mean throughout our whole conversation and the he tells me to provide a copy of my id front and back and the. Direct deposit record showing it belongs to me and who i am, along with my unemployment deposit history/payment history which includes my associated address as asked for i provided everything and more for what was needed and once doing so i could call back and my account would be immediately unlocked and able to use.so i follow these required steps and my documents were attached and uploaded and i got my case number#[protected] so i call back and am told by a different corporate staff member that my account would take 2 more business days to unlock and that the information i was told by corprate staff member jason was wrong and that theres nothing they can do to fix this or resolve this issue or speed it up cause the reviewing department has to do it and i need to wait 2 more business days so i wait after all this im going through thinking ok maybe ill be able to buy my kids what they need and ny wife and the essential things that are crucial right now to have with the pandemic and new laws and ordinances are in effect but i cant because greendot corp.has my money and even though ive provided the required documents im still not able to access MY FUNDS FROM UNEMPLOYMENT WHICH IS PROVIDED SO I CAN PAY MY BILLS AND SUPPORT MY FAMILY not for greendot to hold it hostage or take it from me and tell me im not allowed to have my money that falls in the law guidelines of theft not to mention all other kinds of statutes and laws aswell not to mention i still have yet to recieve my card it says its coming but obviouly whoever updated is a corporate liar aswell as other staff members in your corporate office i just need my account unlocked like a week ago

My green dot acount is locked/blocked. I need it unlocked/unblocked as soon as possible. Green dot has issued me a new card. I can not activate it. I have tried numerous times. I have spoken with representatives on the phone
And they have said my computer needs to be gone over & they want $200.00 to do it. I have used a very secure computer where I work part time with the help of the manager. It still didn't work. I need to get this card activated since it is used for neessary medication. My computer is not compromised nor is the other computer I used. Please unlock/unblock my account and allow me to activate my new card that green dot sent me.

I need to have security block removed from my card. I am frustrated and I will never use greendot again. I recieved my direct deposit and I cant access my money because of the security block and I cant get a real represenative on the phone. I am so disgusted with green dot and I will never recommend this card to anyone. Can I please get some help.

I bought two 50 dollar moneypak cards and when I scratched off the back some numbers got scratched off as well, now I'm trying to get a refund or given two other cards equallying my two 50 dollar cards which I do have receipts for

I deposit $ 500.00 cash in a 7-Eleven Store antonym Pay Pal card, money was received by successfully by Green Dot but never credited the money into my Pay Pal card. 2 months has pass and after trying without luck to contact Green to to get my money back they have refused to solve the issue and still keeping my money.
Contact Pay Pal and 7-Eleven and both companies staid that GREEN DOT NEVER TRANSFER THE MONEY TO MY PAY PAL ACCOUNT.
I do have the receipt that show the money was given to Green Dot.

Sincerely,

Adolfo Rivera
