I am pretty sure it's the amount. I loaded 2 $500 GCs onto BB at kiosk today. Paused for about 3-4 minuts, then when I tried to load $1,000 onto Green Dot - I got 'call for manager' message. I had this happen to me once before - also at $2,000 mark.


No charge to load at Walmart. You can use either the kiosk or the money center. Your choice.
Thanks. It looks like since I have regular prepaid card, not the bank account - it wants to charge me.

Swiped the second card - enter PIN, flashes 'approved' for a second, spits out a small 'debit not approved call authorizer' receipt.

Do you guys think these problems could be due to the fact that this is my first load? Should I try to do it with GD money pack?

If enough people call up Gobank to request for debit loads online to be reinstated, they may change their minds.

Highly doubt it

Finally got my account opened after less than 2 days wait. The big question is whether GoBank will allow ACH pulls from, say a BoA account. I think I read somewhere that it is possible but I haven't tried yet for fear of an NSF fee. Has anyone actually tried this? Do you think this will raise the risk of getting shut down by GoBank?

Haven't tried from BoA, but Gobank allows ACH pulls from Chase/Citi/Barclays/US Bank so i'd say your chances are excellent.

How did you link Chase? I wasn't able to. And, I know another person who is reliable couldn't link.

My mistake, I didn't realize you meant an ACH pull to a checking account, I haven't tried that, I do ACH pulls to pay off my credit cards.

I do believe it will work, though, using whatever Chase's equivalent of Bank of America's "outside the bank transfer" is, although I don't know if Chase's is also free. Or you could hack together something with Chase KwikPay.

I just deposited $200 to my gobank account using debit card. So deposit online using debit card is still working.

Was this your first deposit? If yes, then this is apparently allowed. After this, this option may not be available. Check again and see how it goes.

No, I deposited 5*$200 last month. it was over 30 days since my last debit deposit, so I deposited $200 yesterday. The option is still available for me.

It's one thing to repost info from other sources. But it's crossing the line when he's passing it as his own.

Returned Payments
 
I would watch out with ACH pulls. I've had GoBank return several w/ no explanation why and my bank charges $25 for each one.
