I have been in contact with Netspend as they did respond, but they will not return my funds that somebody transferred to a lady's account. The lady wanted no part of it and closed her account.

My money is in her closed account (Theresa Wiles) closed in January 2023. I don't understand what it is they don't get; they just can't keep my money someone got it contact withme 2 days ago said they are working to have my funds returned to me they Apologized for the issue taking so long to be resolved.they acknowledged the funds are indeed in a closed Theresa' wiles account.

I am also THANKFUL to netspend that they didnt alow the individuals access to withdraw the funds credit to there security. .

Unnecessary amount of Red Tape and the run-around that would make a marathon look like the 400yd dash.

Currently not resolved

Original review Feb 02, 2025
My account is locked and for reasons unbeknownst to me. I have submitted the documents that were requested and they said it would be done in 6 hours; it's been 3 days.

When I called, they gave me the hassle to end all hassles and now I have to resubmit the document. Why the first document wasn't approved is still an unsolved mystery, and yet without any specific criteria needing to be filled or knowing what was wrong with the one I sent in. I'm supposed to send in another, but this time make it more sparkly. I seriously can't believe they are legally allowed to hold up someone's finances and practically hold hostage the ability to freely spend my money as needed.

I will not be doing business with NetSpend after this is taken care of. It's a poor business model with even worse customer service.

I ordered something from a company and they took my money but said it didn’t go through

Hi, ordered the detox patches from the company. They dropped it out of my account and then they sent me a notice saying that my card was declined.

I need to either get my money back or figure out why my card was declined but yet they took the money. Thank you.

I've been trying to get a original NetSpend card

Updated by user Feb 10, 2025

I tried to talk to her NetSpend customer service they still yet have not helped me with my problem I think they all just idiots cuz I keep explaining the same thing over and over to them that I need the original NetSpend card not the digital card and they keep sending me the same digital card over and over I know like 17 cards in my house

Original review Feb 10, 2025

I keep talking to customer service, trying to order the original NetSpend card, not the digital card. They keep promising me that they are sending me the card in the mail, but it's always the same thing - the digital card.

I cannot use these cards because there's nowhere to load them where I live.

So, I need the original NetSpend card. Please.

Waiting period but not to sure.

Original review Jun 16, 2024
NetSpend claims to break down barriers and empower you to manage your money, your way, giving them access to innovative payment products offering convenience, security, and freedom to do more with their money. Instead of offering convenience, they made it difficult to assist me with my concerns about theft, never giving me any assistance in obtaining any information related to activity on my account.

During the time my account was active, I was never aware that right after I opened my account, someone hacked my NetSpend account and changed my email to someone else's, therefore never being notified. They never attempted to send me a written notification or alert of such activity to my physical address, which is one of their verification questions, and seldom was I ever asked for my email for verification.

To verify your identity, I was always asked to provide my full legal name, final numbers on my card, birth date, and last four digits of my social security number. On rare occasions, I was asked to verify my email.

User's recommendation: I do not recommend anyone to use Netspend. They were in compassionate, caring, callous call indifferent to the emergency that they created, which caused me to be evicted It is 30 days later and I still have not received my money I submitted proofs to verify my address that were so common sense that it was ridiculous that they could not lift the restriction on my account and let me access. My funds was unbelievable was that I uploaded a picture of the debit card with the mailing correspondence that came from Netspend to the address. I was trying to verify, but that was unacceptable, I sent them a copy of a correspondence that I received from a state agency with my address however they denied that is proof because the apartment numbers were in the wrong order. I sent them a copy of my Lisa agreement which showed the address and it was dated recently because I had asked , the management to provide me with proof of

I had been with netspend for 12+ years and suffered through many of their forced calamities over that period of time. I still stayed with them though out of loyalty.

Then a little over a month ago I got a notification from netspend of a possible fraudulent transaction being attempted, I called within minutes of the alert and told them the transaction was not authorized and they declined it. An hour later I called back to see if they had any info on the perpetrator. While on the phone with them a second attempt was made for $900 and with me on the phone they allowed it. I had to wait 24 hours for the transaction to no longer be in the PENDING status before I could file a dispute.

After 2 weeks they gave me a provisional credit for the $900. A week later I began receiving notifications that netspend was issuing “one time passcodes” to access my online account. Once again I called immediately and placed a hold on my account. One week later I called to lift the hold and get access to my newly deposited social security monthly benefits.

They told me I had to confirm my identity so I sent them copies of my ID, social security card, debit card and a copy of a letter sent by the IRS to me via certified mail. The next day they closed my account and banned me from being a netspend customer ever again. I asked about my funds and was told Pathward would be issuing a paper check in 3 weeks it should arrive in the mail.

They know nothing about fraud prevention or customer loyalty. Be happy you are done with them.
