It's a scam. Please don't buy it. You will regret it. They will gladly take your money, but they will block you from touching it, unless you send them a copy of your ID, a copy of your S.S. number and a copy of a utility bill that has your name and address. Still, they won't let you touch your money until they verify everything which can take up to 2 weeks. They are rude on the phone and with a heavy India accent that you can't understand. I have $500 in the card blocked and I'm still trying to get my money that I put in cash. Plus they charge hefty fees. They put on TV those unemployed 3rd grade wanna be actors to convince you to fall into their scam. Plus a celebrity that is willing to lie for them.

Don’t go with NetSpend when you have unauthorized transactions on your card they will not have your back anyone can take your money and there’s nothing that can be done, every time you swipe your card you will be charged every month you will be charged they will take more money than you make this will be the worst mistake if you get a Net Spend card the customer service is the worst in the world I can never understand them then they are so rude and instead of answering your questions will hang up on you, the way they treat you should be illegal. I was going to buy my daughter a bracelet from Jared’s jewelry store, well they didn’t have it in stock so I couldn’t order it this was all online. A few days later I realized that Jared’s took 1200 dollars out of my account for a transaction I didn’t even make. Net spend told me that Jared’s needs to send me an email to send them that I didn’t make a purchase Jared’s tells me they didn’t take the money it’s my bank never in my life have I ever had to deal with something so insane! Both are shady if you ask me and if I learned one thing in life I read all reviews and they make a difference. And I hope this helps you

Can't connect to a live representative when needed. It's a bs business that doesn't deserve the credit nor the title it has. They just take advantage of people and the higher ups of the company know it.

Total SCAM! Why do they need all your personal information to include social security number for a Prepaid card. Negative 5 stars... What a joke!

I have been using netspend for many years now all of a sudden I'm being charged a overdraft fee for a withdrawal 5 mins before my direct deposit. I think it's time I switch to chime I hear it's pretty fair

I thought I would try this card. So I only put $50 on it. I used it and they charged me for using it. Every time I use it there was a fee for using it.I Will find another card that does not have Fee on it when you use it.
The principal investors in MetaBank are deplorable wastes of even the breath and effort, let alone the brainpower, that might be used to conjure up the concept of ‘human being.’ They prey on these so-called “underbanked” and “underserved” as they are genetic cousins of those parasitic vampires Matt Tiabbi wrote about so long ago, sucking the vital essence from the poor like mafioso, like the Skeksis from that childhood favorite Muppet film, The Dark Crystal. If there is any justice for them, based on their many scams and innocuous statements of attempting to ‘serve’ or ‘safeguard’ or to provide ‘solutions,’ to those they steal from through obfuscation and stalling tactics, they will be reborn as hyenas, only moving in to strip the flesh from those torn asunder by the larger corporate prey animals after they’ve effectively killed their supposed “American Dream,” or as mosquitoes or horseflies, maggots, or as vultures who may walk around in circles, intellectually speaking, when stressed, just as their PR may claim they are vital to the economic foodchain, vomiting their luccor in doublespeak for the people such as myself, these cursed underbanked, to watch as technocratic corporate genuflecting doublepeak, just a new wave of theatre of electronic disempowerment offered to their demigods of finance.
I cannot control my own money now for the second span of months- money I’ve sweat and bled for under America’s most equatorial sun, and these are the people who deserve to burn. I don’t mind being poor but, given America’s fraudulent ‘opportunities’ for advancement thusly illustrated, I have never wanted to represent the Company. I do, definitely, dislike their saccharine tone, cheerily telling me of their extensive ‘services,’ as I am still on their hold line, waiting for their violation of my most sensitive aspect in life (wallet) to end, and feel like a cow swaying back and forth in a slaughterhouse, vital essence escaping as life passes me by. [INSERT SALTY STATEMENT ABOUT WHAT THESE PEOPLE CAN GO DO.]

Total scam. They want a copy of you driver's license, social security card and utility bill to activate the card. Supposedly they'll mail me a check in 10 days, highly unlikely. Bought this at Walmart.

I bought the prepaid card and can't use it online. Can't use it at an atm. Spent over an hour on the phone to get nowhere. These people are a joke.

Unfortunately, you cannot reload this card at an ATM, but you can find a retail reload location by visiting https://www.loadnetspend.com . Please take into consideration that, depending on the location, a reload fee of up to $3.95 may apply.
Unfortunately not. You can use your card to withdraw cash at virtually any ATM, but NetSpend charges a fee of $2.50 per withdrawal on top of whatever ATM owner surcharge is assessed.
You can transfer funds from your PayPal account to your NetSpend Western Union Card, and the money will be available within 2 to 3 business days. But direct deposit can only be done with your paycheck, tax refund or government benefits.
