### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!

*2026-06-30, version 4.67.3*

if i could give green dot 0 stars i would. i’ve tried multiple times to log into my app and cancel the card and it tells me i need to go online to their website, when i go online it tells me i can’t cancel it there and i need to contact customer support. when you call their customer support number you are on hold FOREVER waiting on a real person to talk to. save yourself the time and trouble and NEVER get a green dot card!!!!!!

### 1/5 — SCAM!

*2026-06-26, version 4.67.3*

This app doesn’t work and I kept putting in my information and calling them. The phone would keep repeating the same thing over and over and over. Then it kept telling me type in my information and ssn and still didn’t let me log into the account!

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2026-06-26, version 4.67.3*

This is the worse prepaid card I have ever had. The customer service is horrible and nobody will help you. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-06-25, version 4.67.3*

Green dot you need to fix your app!! It needs updated the but when I come to my App Store there is no update! Now it is so hard for me to login in why do y’all have this much issues? Any other account I have been with never had this much problems… I will definitely be changing to cashapp… unless you fix your problems

### 3/5 — My bank

*2026-06-24, version 4.67.3*

Like the app but have problems updating app.  Keeps telling me to update but there’s no update. So my app lacks and is slow

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2026-06-24, version 4.67.3*

I genuinely just wanted a gift card, and it went ahead and took $7 out of my account for a “fee”. I put a specific amount of money on that card so I could purchase something, and now I can’t. Genuinely the most stupid thing ever.

### 3/5 — Urgent

*2026-06-19, version 4.67.3*

Billpay option not working

### 1/5 — Extremely disappointed with this app!!

*2026-06-16, version 4.67.3*

It refuses to log in. It is very frustrating!!! It must be against me. I have been a good customer to you. If you keep me from logging in I am done with you Green Dots.

### 4/5 — Update problem

*2026-06-16, version 4.67.3*

Every time I open this app, it says it needs an update. There is no update available. Can we get this fixed?

### 1/5 — Update app

*2026-06-15, version 4.67.3*

Take $29.69 for keyboards, cd and movie. It is staying one star until you take the money. It shouldn’t take four days to take money. Also update your app seeing it freezes on iOS 26.5.1.

### 1/5 — Locked out of account when I needed money

*2026-06-12, version 4.67.3*

Hadn’t checked my app for a while. Was getting ready to get my tax return when the app asked me for authentication. I entered in the code it sent me and after a SINGLE (one) “failed” attempt it locked me out completely.

Had to go through one of the worst phone trees to get someone to help. I got a ticket number but they never sent a reset email. 

Months later I still can’t get in. Can’t seem to navigate the worst phone tree to get ahold of a person anymore and now you’re telling me I suddenly owe you $65 AFTER I was locked out? 

NO. 

The ineptitude of this company is second to none and they will leave you high and dry at the worst possible time. 

Developers if reading this - I don’t want your apologies, your tears, your SORWWY uwuwuw… all that means nothing. You’ve taken time and money away from real people so either fix it or go underground. 

YOU’RE BAD AT THIS AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD. 

BE BETTER

### 2/5 — Would like to come back

*2026-06-10, version 4.67.3*

### 1/5 — They need to fix this app

### 1/5 — App

*2026-07-24, version 4.67.3*

### 1/5 — Scam card

*2026-07-16, version 4.67.3*

I don’t know how this company is even legal. They give you the card and after you add the money they block your card

### 1/5 — Activation By calling

*2026-07-16, version 4.67.3*

I tried calling three separate times and every time it says that they can’t find the card I’m trying to activate and it says to call when I have my information available

### 1/5 — DON’T!

*2026-07-12, version 4.67.3*

Don’t waste your time or money on this company. 
I had one account closed before I had even used it. 
They never returned my money. Ok it was only $20, but it was my money not theirs. 
Then the second account was used and a monthly fee charges to use the bank. Then it was closed. No reason just closed.
I have not received the $186 back which was in the account and no reason why it was suddenly closed. 
Poor customer service. No returned funds. 
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. You will lose both.

### 1/5 — FRAUD

*2026-07-02, version 4.67.3*

Is this even a real financial entity? I bought this card thinking that it would be good for a vacation. I uploaded money on it, neither the app nor the website works. The phone line is also useless.

### 5/5 — Mobile banking

*2026-07-25, version 4.67.3*

I been on green dot checking for 4-5 yrs. But lately when I go to sign in to my account it says green dot app needs to be updated to the latest version, go to the App Store and update the new version of green dot. Could it be a scam?

### 5/5 — Green Dot

*2026-06-19, version 4.67.3*

I’ve had this app for 15 years. Never had a problem with it. If you lose your card, you can still access your money with your app after you report it lost. Cash back!
