    I've had a greenlight account for a while. A year ago I changed my phone and contacted greenlight to give them the new phone number so I could access my account and be able to deposit funds for my kids. I got a text saying I no longer had a greenlight account and that was why i couldnt access it. I didn't care to continue with greenlight and accepted that it was a closed account. I notice a few months later, that I was still being charged for an account that I was told was closed. I emailed greenlight to ensure it was canceled and get my money back. A few months later it happened again. I'd get a text or email saying I have no account, yet they continued to withdraw money from my bank account. In ever correspondence to greenlight, i provided my name, my old phone number, new phone number, date or birth, name of 2 kids on the account. I provided plenty of information for an agent to be able to access my account. They always told me that I had no such account. It's been dormant for about a year and they kept charging me and telling me I had no such account. I finally called to ensure it was canceled, though I prefer everything be in writing, like all the previous correspondence. I am not sure if it was actually canceled this time. I know i got no refund. They offered a partial refund but only if I kept the account opened. I don't want it, nor need it, after a year of having no access. I've found other means to transfers my kids money because this greenlight account just didn't work, regardless of house many times I reached out.

    Used the round *** feature to save money when I went to pull out the money they told me I had the wrong amount and it was incorrect. I pulled up all the receipts to show it was in fact correct and I needed my 60$ but they ended up putting me on hold for an hour with a higher up for them to never answer. This company steals money and sends you around to different useless representatives till you just give up.

    Greenlight has conducted an investigation into Mr. ******** complaint and hopes to provide some clarity. Mr. ******** account became out of balance due to a pending transaction, causing an incorrect balance to be displayed in the Greenlight app. When the child attempted to withdraw money from an ATM, there were not enough funds in the account to complete the requested withdrawal. After the pending transaction settled, the account was reconciled so the correct balance was displayed. A customer service representative explained to ****************** how out of balance situations can occur and notified him that Greenlight was able to reconcile the account. Although the account is now showing as closed, the proper balance should now be reflected. We hope this resolves any issues and apologize for the negative experience.
