About the Card You Purchased In A Store
-

The temporary card and the personalized card are not intended to be given as gifts. The temporary card or card number cannot be used for ATM transactions or other cash withdrawals until you have registered the card.

Upon successful registration of your temporary card, you can use the temporary card inside the package to make purchases in-store, online or everywhere Visa debit is accepted in the U.S.
-
The card you purchased at a store is a temporary card and is not personalized with your name nor has your address associated with the account. When you register your card, a new card personalized with your name will be sent in the mail. Registration, online access and mobile number are required to access all features that the account offers. For instance, when you register your Green Dot Visa® Debit Card, you’ll be able to deposit checks or add cash using the Green Dot app, pay bills, order paper checks and more!

Yes, but you’ll need to set up a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) when you activate your personalized card to do so. We may block ATM withdrawals in some countries due to fraud or security concerns. You may withdraw up to $400 per day with most Green Dot cards. Please see terms for your card regarding ATM withdrawal limits.
-
A personalized Green Dot card will be mailed to you and has your name on the card. Personalized cards take 7 business days for delivery and, upon activation, unlock several features that make it easy to do things like pay bills on your schedule, deposit checks from your smartphone, and more.
-
If you forget your PIN or would like to change it, you can log in and update your PIN here.

-
You will receive your personalized card 5-7 business days after registration. Upon activation of your personalized card, the money on your limited use Starter Card or temporary card number will automatically be transferred to the personalized card and you will no longer be able to use the limited use Starter Card.
-
No, for security reasons you’ll need to register your personalized card using the Green Dot app or online at www.GreenDot.com/Register.

Some merchants or services require a card number and some require an account number to make a single transaction or automatic monthly payments. Your card is in printed on the front of your card. Your account number and bank routing number can be found by logging into your account.
-
Yes, but only with your personalized card. However, it’s your responsibility to make sure you have enough money available on your card each time the recurring transaction is due. These merchants may suspend or cancel your service if you don’t have enough money left on your card when they attempt to charge the monthly payment.
-
Your card may be used to rent a car, but rental car companies “authorize” (have money held) for much more money than the actual cost of the rental car. Car rental companies often do this because they won’t know if they need to charge you for additional expenses like gas, car damage, or extra days until the vehicle is returned. Authorized funds are held and unavailable for you to spend until the final transaction is posted to your statement. This means you may not have access to these funds for up to 90 days. To avoid problems when renting, we suggest you first call the rental car company and ask what their policy is regarding the use of debit cards.
