### 2/5 — Long time user

*2025-09-21, version 1.35.0*

I have been using this card for 8 years. I cannot move my own money from checking to savings without being told that I cannot and the most embarrassing is  when I need to move savings to checking and it denies me!!!!! Get it together for your most loyal customers please!

### 3/5 — App problems

*2025-06-27, version 1.35.0*

Not reflecting properly. Paid a bill and it still says the money is in my account. And before that my cash app transfer wasn’t going through

### 1/5 — Terrible internal team at times

*2025-01-30, version 1.34.0*

This app has not been updated in almost 2 years I don’t understand why this multi billion dollar company can’t seem to fix or update a simple app. For the last 2 months I have been having trouble trying to log into the app just keep getting a error message to try again and when I can get in it does the same thing when I try to unvault my money please fix this app

### 1/5 — The app has been struggling to open every single day for the past month

*2025-01-30, version 1.34.0*

I’ve used this card for the past few years, since the beginning of the year the app has had difficulty opening and has popped up with the error message to try again later. Every single time I call I get a runaround from customer service refusing to do anything to actually help. Their service is absolutely awful and I will be leaving this card soon due to how terrible their customer service is. I’d rate 0 stars if I could

### 1/5 — Horrible App Constant Errors

*2025-01-30, version 1.34.0*

App crashes and constantly gives errors. Calling customer support gets you no where they try to blame it on your device. Got a new iPhone and still have the same issues so, yeah, it’s the app.

### 3/5 — Been tripping lately

*2025-01-30, version 1.34.0*

I’ve been having this card for years with no problems or nothingggg!!!! Until this week it will not let me login takes me at least 20 times before it let me in or I give up. Other than that it would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Terrible, doesn’t log in right away

*2025-01-28, version 1.34.0*

This app has been failing so bad lately. You have to attempt to log in three times before actually logging in and it takes so many attempts to transfer money from vault. I switched to a real bank and will no longer be using this card once I use the money I have.

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2025-01-28, version 1.34.0*

For the last two weeks there’s been issues logging in on the app it’s made me change my password so many times that I have a hard time coming up with different ones. I’ve been with this company 13 years what’s up with this issue?

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2025-01-28, version 1.34.0*

I’ve used this card for years and i loved it. It wasn’t until this past year anytime I try to access the app. It says my password is wrong.  Now that I’ve lost my wallet it won’t let me replace my card. Keeps saying “User Error” I wish the issues and error would be fixed & we can see pending deposits. Other than that love that app and card!

### 1/5 — Dissaponted

*2025-01-27, version 1.34.0*

I’ve used this account for years and this past 2 months it’s been nothing but problems can’t access my money they need to fix the bugs with the stash unstash and sometimes I can’t even log in at all

### 1/5 — Update the app

*2025-01-27, version 1.34.0*

Every time I try to stash my money, there’s always an error. I’ve been using this app for many years already., And just recently started getting into this problem. Can you please

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-01-27, version 1.34.0*

Usually a good app but the past few weeks when I try to log in it says “ sorry , there was an error. Please try again”. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it and it still does it. This needs to be fixed asap.

### 1/5 — App Glitches.

*2025-01-27*

About once a year the app glitches for days on end you will not have any access to your vault (checking) account nor will the  customer service be able to help but say sorry we know.
Sorry doesn’t feed families or pay bills etc… they do not do there due diligence in fixing it
Nor is any warning given of updates or information given on when ^fixes^ will be completed. This feels very much like a fraud/scam being run and no compensation is given during this time. If you get this card definitely take your money out and go to a reliable system! I had my honeymoon this weekend and had zero access to my account. I will never use this card or any green dot system again!

### 1/5 — Won’t let me log in

*2025-01-27, version 1.34.0*

Ever since I updated this app it won’t let me sign in to view my balance.. there is A limit to move your money from the vault, if u have money stashed your money is untouchable for a whole day this is insane.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-01-27, version 1.34.0*

Had the app for about 5 years. Never works, you can’t stash and unstash your money, the majority of the time it says error. Recently it won’t even let me log in unless I restart my phone, it’s actually not working as I’m writing this review. I came to see if maybe the app needed updated so I could access my money, NOPE! All updated and still won’t work. Use anything else.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-01-26, version 1.34.0*

Terrible app always down can never check balance nothing

### 2/5 — Works when it feels like it

*2025-01-24*

I’ve had a lot of issues with this card over the last 5 years. When it works it’s decent, I like the “stash” and “unstash” feature. Aside from that, the app has been getting CONSTANT error messages over the last week, and won’t open for no reason when the password is correct. Trying to move money around is next to impossible, and to call customer service is a waste of time, since it’s pretty impossible to understand anyone, let alone actually get help. The concept of the card is great, but the actual application of it is a fail and a frustrating experience.

### 1/5 — Still Can’t Access My Funds

*2025-01-24, version 1.34.0*

It’s been 2 weeks now and I still can’t access the app daily. It’s when it choses to work. I can’t pay bills or move my funds. I already reported this to Greendot and nothing has been fixed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worse bank to ever have

*2026-03-09, version 1.35.0*

Just don’t get this bank I can write a book on why NOT but I rather not

### 1/5 — ****DO NOT USE THIS FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OR ANYTHING AT ALL****

*2025-08-01*

Your funds won’t be accessible at all times, when they do their ”scheduled maintenance” you won’t be able to “unstash” money, leaving you in a predicament that you won’t be able to access your money at all period whatsoever, until they resolve the issue on their end and their “maintenance” is done. 
Secondly, my card expired today and I have my only money sitting in this account and I have absolutely no access to it and I have to wait for them to send a card to the correct address. That is after having to email them my photo id to verify it’s actually me because supposedly their security questions they asked me were wrong. Apparently turbo knows more about me and my life than I do. So now I have to wait for them to process my email, and then, only then, will my card be sent in the mail. 

I REPEAT, DO NOT USE THIS TO KEEP ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY WHATSOEVER. 

IF I COULD GIVE THEM 0 STARS I WOULD. SOMEONE SHOULD REPORT THESE PEOPLE TO BETTER BUSINESS BEREAU.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-07-15, version 1.35.0*

Just use the website, the app has a persistent log in error that needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Needs more options

*2025-07-04, version 1.35.0*

In my opinion I feel that they should have upgraded to virtual cards. The option to expedite the card when it’s being replaced

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t update my balance

*2025-06-28, version 1.35.0*

The current version of my app and most of them for the past year will not update my balance for days on end. I can add money to my card and nothing happens. Even after I use the card at stores, nothing changes. This is completely unsettling because you don’t know how much money you have. This can lead to completely embarrassing interactions.

### 1/5 — Low Security Holds Your Money

*2025-05-31, version 1.34.0*

First off they hold your money as long as legally possible before releasing funds and making them usable which is why I won’t move my payroll deposits to this card. Second, security is low. Can’t use special characters for passwords and if you try to use Face ID which adds safety, it cuts it off every few days. It’s like they wants security to be its lowest.

### 1/5 — Do NOT use this

*2025-05-14*

I’ve had card/app for almost 7 years. Since the beginning, there have been sporadic issues of me not being able to move money from my stash into my checking, causing the most absolutely embarrassing and infuriating moments of my life.

Imagine going out to dinner, getting the check, and not being able to pay because you can’t move money from your savings to your checking.

Any other banking institution would fail from such an inconsistent feature. That is why I am telling anyone who reads this, do not use this card long. While getting paid sooner is nicer, it’s ultimately frustrating to not be able to use your card regularly like anyone else. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been somewhere and I haven’t been able to pay because the app isn’t working. Or I’ve had to cancel appointments because I wasn’t able to move the money around to pay for it.

Absolutely no one should have to deal with these frustrations. And the customer service people cannot help you. They’re 3rd party contractors that have no connections to Greendot. 

After writing this review, I will be free of their curse. Do not fall for the same trap I did for years. It doesn’t get better and in fact, has only gotten more frequent as time passes.

### 1/5 — Canceled

*2025-02-12, version 1.34.0*

They canceled my account without any notice

### 1/5 — They close my account just because I open up a dispute

*2025-01-31, version 1.34.0*

These people stole my money, and I asked Turbo to assist me in this situation not only they did not assist me. They closed my account and took the money that was left of my account for themselves. I am working on filing a claim, a federal claim with the Better Business Bureau for this matter so please if you guys out there with these financial institution, please I do repeat please find some other institution to do business with because TurboTax green dot is not the answer and I will be reporting them with the Better Business Bureau immediately

### 1/5 — Service issues

*2025-01-30, version 1.34.0*

The whole app is messed up and has been for at least a month or 2 now. Sometimes doesn’t let you log in sometimes doesn’t let you move your money over. It’s annoying and wrong should be illegal!!! This is our money we should have access 24/7. WILL BE SWITCHING TO SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT IF THERES AN EMERGENCY? FIX THE APP

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-06-05, version 1.34.0*

I’ve had this bank for years and absolutely love it. No issues or problems, just good banking.

### 5/5 — Great! Most of the time..

*2024-06-24*

I have been using this card and “bank account” service for many years. It’s awesome ! Most of the time. I don’t like that I can’t talk to a real person. That would make this perfect. I had to wait over 2 months to gat a new card not too long ago. While your waiting for a card, your account is FROZEN. Can’t use ANY type of money transfer app, atm, move it from savings to checking, NOTHING. That was a VERY HARD 2 months. They assured me it would never happen again but we’ll see… I have to get a new card and I’m dreading it.. I’ll let y’all know. Other than that!! It’s been wonderful.

### 5/5 — 4+ years

*2024-02-08, version 1.34.0*

And going strong! Never had any issue that couldn’t be fixed on my end or the card’s end. Excellent service each time.

### 5/5 — Apple Watch Ultra please !!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Convenient and safe!!!

### 5/5 — Great!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-08-20, version 1.21.0*

The app works great!! The card do as well, hooks up to cashapp,paypal zelle facebook pay etc. I love it! it’s actually like a bank

### 5/5 — Works for some but not all banking type transactions and services?

*2021-08-18*

I’ve used this card for quite some time now. I switched for a short while to another banking app, not gonna say who (chime) but they tried to rip me off for an entire paycheck and I left! Came back running to intuit! I’ve had fraudulent charges here once, and intuit quickly flagged the transaction stoping further transactions and canceling card. The transactions still went through however :(! But, I was refunded in a timely matter although I had to jump through their hoops :( you have to post mail a letter to them providing I guess a paper trail that you are serious about the dispute? I didn’t understand why this was necessary but I ended up with a refund!
The new card came VERY quickly as well! Surprisingly fast! With that other banking app (chime) it took literally 12 days to get a néw card from them! 
Like I said some times banking feature work, other times (or banks?) don’t! Apple isn’t compatible with Turbo? Weird right? Anyway! Aside from the $4.95 monthly fee for using this service I have no issues with Intuit’s “bank-like” service. But get no illusions, IT ISN’T A BANK! And like other “banking apps” they are simply out to make a buck off ya just like the banks and every other money service in the world. Except Chime they are free right? Lol!
