i think you're leaving $ on the table going this route. i was able to billpay 15k out a full 5 days after i was shut down. if not, i would have been on a money order buying spree vs waiting for a check that size.
I see your point. But when dealing with GreenDot, I prefer taking my money out as soon and as much as possible.
