If you find yourself in a situation where you need to withdraw cash from your GreenDot account but don’t have your card, don’t worry – there are still options available to you. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of withdrawing money from your GreenDot account without a card, using the GreenDot mobile app and picking up cash at a participating Walmart store.
How to Withdraw Money from GreenDot Without a Card
The key to withdrawing cash from your GreenDot account without a card is using the GreenDot mobile app. The app allows you to access your existing funds and generate a time-sensitive barcode that you can use to pick up cash at a participating Walmart store.
Here’s how to get started:
Using the GreenDot Mobile App
First, make sure you have the GreenDot mobile app installed on your smartphone. If you don’t have it yet, you can download it from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
Once you have the app installed, log in to your account using your username and password. Navigate to the “Manage Card” section of the app, where you’ll find the option to generate a barcode for cash pickup.
Generating a Time-Sensitive Barcode
In the “Manage Card” section, select the option to generate a barcode for cash pickup. The app will prompt you to enter the amount of cash you wish to withdraw. Keep in mind that there is a $3 service fee for this transaction, which will be deducted from your account balance.
After entering the amount and confirming the transaction, the app will generate a time-sensitive barcode. This barcode is valid for a limited time, usually a few hours, so make sure to use it promptly. The app will display the barcode on your screen, which you’ll need to present at the Walmart Money Center or Customer Service desk to receive your cash.
Picking Up Cash at Walmart
Once you have your time-sensitive barcode, head to a participating Walmart store. Look for the Walmart Money Center or Customer Service desk, as these are the locations where you can pick up your cash.
Visiting the Walmart Money Center or Customer Service Desk
When you arrive at the Walmart Money Center or Customer Service desk, inform the cashier that you’d like to withdraw cash using a GreenDot barcode. The cashier will ask you to present your barcode and a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport.
Providing Required Information to the Cashier
Show the cashier the barcode on your smartphone screen and provide them with your photo ID. The cashier will scan the barcode and verify your identity to ensure that the name on your ID matches the name associated with your GreenDot account.
Collecting Your Cash and Paying the Service Fee
After the cashier has verified your information, they will dispense the cash you requested. Remember that a $3 service fee will be deducted from your account balance for this transaction. Collect your cash and your receipt, and you’re all set!
What to Do If Your GreenDot Card Is Lost or Stolen
If your GreenDot card is lost or stolen, it’s crucial to report it immediately to prevent unauthorized transactions. Here’s what you should do:
