Not Dependable
May 28, 2022

Walmart money card program is completely unreliable. At least 1/3 of the time that you need to get into the app you cannot get the app to respond with your code to get in. Therefore if you have your car locked and you need to get into your app to unlock it so you can make a purchase there are times you will have to wait an hour to two hours to be able to finally get into your app to unlock your card to use it. You do not want this app I have used Walmart money card for over five years now and steadily within the last two years they have been going downhill and you cannot rely on them or depend on them at all.

I bought a card to pay a bill. When you go to register the card they want your social security number. I told them I am not giving you that. I wanted my money back they told me two weeks, I told them no. I called several times got hung up on. I went and bought something close to the amount then returned it. They declined me from returning the unopened item, but gave me a gift card. I told the associate I am not leaving this store without my money. I started cursing and going off. They gave me my money. I cancelled the card. DONT BUY OR USE THIS CARD EVER.

I bought gas. They kept the authorization money plus the price of gas. I thought it was the gas station so I went to a different station next time. Same thing happened. Walmart has kept literally $275 that they refuse to give back.

Headache
February 5, 2021

I've had my card for several years. It's a good little card if ur only going to do regular day to day purchase and not big purchase. Long story short my husband and I are buying a house. Well anyone that has knows all the documentation that is needed. Walmart money card Customer service is the $#*!tiest service I've had in a really long time! The refused to send me simple statements sighting that they aren't authorized to do so.! So of course I talked to supervisor then to that supervisors manager thru corporate and guess what the lady from corporate said they could send me my requested docs in an EMAIL! But folks here's the kicker I waited the 2 days for said email! It NEVER showed! So on the phone again I go for over 1 1/2 hrs. Just to have to go thru the whole thing over again! And it doesn't matter if their line is recorded or not they 100% don't stand behind what they tell their customers! Done!

Don't expect help
April 9, 2022

If you have unauthorized charges don't expect any help from them. If charges are still pending all they'll do is give you the phone number for you to call the merchants. If, within 2 weeks, the merchant cancels the charges then you get the money back. If the money is taken by the merchant then they'll investigate the charges. I told them since I don't know anything about the charges and I didn't authorize the charges, then they are fraudulent. So instead of paying fraudulent charges then try to get the money back why not don't pay it and deal with the merchant disputing them? Nope, the cardholder means nothing to Walmart Moneycard. They don't care if fraudulent charges leave you broke, they'll just give your money to anyone even after being told it's fraudulent.

I received a card completely unsolicited. It said "Your new debit card is here!" at the top. I called this company three times. I could only understand one of the three. When I asked why I had received this she said "It was a mistake, tear it up." This was not a mistake. Someone sent it to me, and had assigned me a bank number at "Green Dot Bank" (I've never heard of it). I told her that I considered it an attempt at fraud. She continued to assert that is was just a mistake. I also tried chat, and got a similar non answer. I wanted to know how I was assigned a bank account number and how was it that this card was sent to me. I was very displeased with this.

SCAM SCAM SCAM! They don't know what their doing! Will keep your money hostage! Will keep asking for the same documents each time they are called for the status of the refund. India and Philippine call centers are awful! Reading scripts and apologizing are what they are best trained!

Horrible
June 12, 2019

They take your money, lie to you. You can't pay bills with this card, and they tell you that you can. I put my bill money in this card and now they tell me I can only make in store purchases, and I can't get my money back. Bull$#*!, $#*!s. Walmart for you. Learn the hard way sometimes. Walmart sucks.

Card declining
March 25, 2020

The only problem I have had with Walmart Money is someone in CA hacked my card and stole money from it. They did give me the money back but now my card is declining and I have money on it. Does anyone know what is going on?

They won't change your name. Months and months of sending emails with my marriage certificate, drivers license and mailing address to them. They just keep saying they never received it. And they just keep telling you to email them the paperwork to them then they will change it. It's been 9 months since I started trying to change my last name on my account. Enough is enough I'm done with them. I can't deposit any checks by photo because my name on my account doesn't match my legal name.

Do not get this card
November 10, 2022

I purchased a air line ticket through myflightsearch. Com. It was fraud. They take your money and never book your ticket and they also never refund your money. I contacted my Walmart money card to dispute it. They said there was nothing they could do.

Better choices
September 1, 2022

I returned to the United States and needed to use a debit card. I went to Walmart and selected a debit card off the shelf. I had no problems using the card. However, there were too many fees. When I went to Walmart and added funds to the card, I was charged $3. Every month, I am charged almost $6. I have debit cards from banks that don't do this. I find the fees too much.

I should have checked reviews on this card. I use it to keep myself on a budget. I was transferring money weekly from my checking account. They say 3 business days. Never works that way. I made the deposit on the 6th, came out of my checking on the 9th and as of the eve of the 12th I still have no money. Customer service is a waste of time. I've called for other things to like, half the time I go in to deposit I get an error message that I can't make a deposit over $100 for my first time. I've been making weekly deposits for months. I call customer service and they say I have to wait until the next day for it to "reset". So I try to be proactive knowing my money won't transfer for 6 or 7 days and then I have to add another day for resetting. I've had this happen at least 4 times in the 2.5 months I've had the card. DO NOT GET THIS CARD. It will only bring you frustration.

Walmart money card
March 8, 2023

I purchased a money card from Walmart, put 445.00 on it, kept the receipt. The money was never put on the card and when I tried to contact the Walmart customer service for the money card with the receipt, I was told that the receipt didn't match the card purchased. I have been fighting ever since, customer service won't help. I recommend that don't buy the money card from Walmart, they took my money and nothing but headache in return.

I had my 401k deposited and they blocked my account. They said they had review this and I needed to send a picture I'd. The account they tell you to do this on doesn't work. I called to find out what to do and was given the wrong email. I called back they gave me the correct one. I called today to see if they got it. They said it was supposed to be front and back. I was never told that. They have stole my money and won't give it back.

On 7/29/21 I noticed fraudulent transactions on my account. I notified green dot by phone. I was told steps to complete to report the fraud and get back the stolen money. They said I'd have it back have the money back no later than 8/11. I followed all steps and waited to hear back I heard nothing I called and was told they received the documentation and it was being investigated. I waited called again. Same answer. I've called at least 15 times now. I've been put on hold for 30 min, calls disconnected, forwarded to numbers that never answered. It is 8/31/21 and now they're saying they didn't receive my documentation after I've been told four times on various dates that it had been received.
They are holding my money. $2900+ of my money is in my account that I now have no access to.
It's been reported to the BBB and FDIC.
They won't give me my money. This is illegal activity by green dot bank and needs to be investigated
