Card was locked before my first purchase.

I set up the card I bought with cash and it immediately locked when I used it the first time, not allowing me to spend anything. I'm currently stuck at a gas station with no money because I put it on this waste of time. Have been on hold for well over two hours.

Loss:
$20
Cons:
  • Hassle to set up
  • No customer service

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience. Without knowing your account information, we suspect that your account was locked because we needed to verify your identity.

We take account security extremely seriously and hope that you can understand that.

Thanks. - Netspend

Completely Underwhelmed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Completely underwhelmed. If there was an option for zero stars, that would be my pick.

After adding money to a debit card yesterday, and giving it to my granddaughter for a school trip, the card was declined! After almost 5 hours on the phone with 4 different representatives, all 4 put me through to some 'risk' phone number. on all 4 occasions, no one picked up.

On one occasion I was cut off after waiting over 40 mins. The excuse I was given was ;high call volume' - not surprised if everyone else was told to call in, just to get access to their own money.

Never again - I'll be looking for an alternative card in the morning, These people don't care about their customers.

User's recommendation: Find a cardthat takescare of itscustomers.

Disabled senior Locked out of my own money

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They suck! I lost my phone, and now for no reason, I have to verify my identity. I sent them what I have, and they said it was unacceptable, even though a 2-year-old idiot could see that it is me.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Stupid people

You used my address n someones name

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

You sent a real, working Visa debit card to someone I don't know, to my address. This is an egregious mistake.

So, I think you're a scam company. I didn't apply for a card.

No one lives here by this name. I don't know how you got this together, except fraudulently.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: No u appear to be a scam company

Bad service

I had multiple fraud charges on my account and NetSpend locked my account, so I couldn't even print my statements for law enforcement. They also give the worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life.

Once this issue is resolved, I would never recommend using this bank for any reason. 0 out of 5 stars.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Bad customer service

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not use this service

Lack of reply of communication

Well I have a couple NetSpend accounts I can't access due to the cards being stolen,and I no longer have access to the email or phone number on file.i called the phone numbers seeking help and it just takes you in circles,you never have the option of speaking to a live agent.So I emailed them,not once but a couple times,still nothing.And it's really agitating me!

User's recommendation: Don't bank with NetSpend.they

Fraudulent

Don't put your money here; it's a scam. Hours on the phone talking with people in India for a company based in the USA.

They have you on the line for hours, just wasting your time without resolving anything. For no reason at all, an automated system says you got a check refund.

Money gone. Fraudulent.
