Immigrant brothers from Mexico, Bert and Roy Sosa, were attending college when they realized that many of their friends were unable to purchase items online because they had no credit cards or bank accounts. Using their pooled money of $750, they founded Netspend in 1999.

The company offers a prepaid Visa or Mastercard, which requires a small fee to open the account and charges a fee each time it is used. Netspend recently partnered with Family Dollar and 7-Eleven to sell their cards in their stores. 

netspend appNetspend accounts can be managed online or via mobile phone apps.  The company was acquired by TSYS in 2013 for $1.4 billion in cash.

Netspend was forced to refund more than $13 million in fees after the FTC filed charges claiming that the company withheld funds that caused some consumers severe financial difficulties. 

In October 2018, the company experienced a technical issue that prevented an unknown number of cardholders from accessing their accounts or the ability to withdraw cash. 

In October 2020, the parent company Global Payments stated that the company was considering selling off NetSpend. 

Some Netspend users are unhappy with the service and they move their money to PayPal instead.

Headquarters for Netspend will remain in Austin, Texas.

    I received a check for almost 4000.00 dollars signed by Beth Deck the CFO of NETSPEND and it was returned because NETSPEND said it was unauthorized. I have been waiting since July of 2023 for this money to be returned to me. There is so much unnecessary bad customer service that has v gone along with being paid money that is mine. Luckily Leah Campos stepped in and was a miracle send and got the check refund sent to me. But now the company doesn’t honor the check. This money was literally being used to move into a new residence for my mother and I and she is terminal. I am literally removing all the stuff that we moved in right now because I had to notify company that the check ii wrote for the deposit and 1st months rent was going to be returned so it didn’t like I was being fraudulent with writing a bad check that was to be cashed on the 10th of this month. So we were asked to vacate the property. I don’t understand how all of this has happened. But it needs to be resolved and I’ve called and emailed since yesterday and no one has got back to me.

    Been a customer since the beginning. The last two years things have gone WAY DOWNHILL with Netspend! Rude customer service…I was called “Mommie” by an agent. My account has not been settled for 4 days now…all transactions are still pending!! WHAT kind of banking system do they run??? I now have 3 OD charges of $20 that should have never been charged. The agents tell me they can’t fix it,,,BS!! I am sitting here “WAITING” for a supervisor to come on the phone…..bet it never happens. They know most people will not wait, but I’m retired, so I have the time. I have been recording ALL the LIES the agents have feed me for the last 4 days!! I am sure a small claims court would love to hear the recordings!! Time for me to dump Netspend…..

I’m sick of them I’m filing charges and im suing if I can. I heard the last representative laughing in the background at my situation, and he had me on hold fo 50 minutes, and never came back to the phone. Of course, the stealing is a inside job.

    I have been fighting with this company for over a year now . Someone opened an account in my name and filed my unemployment and my stimulus and got it all deposited on the NetSpend account and they don’t see any fraudulent issues. I have filed charges through my county police department and through the IRS and the TWC workforce center and still they won’t do anything. No one knows anything but my account is closed and no one can do anything about it. I need to know what I need to do to take care of this. Hire an attorney, I can’t afford?

      Netspend closed an account a couple of years ago and stated it was because they couldn’t “verify my identity”. A vendor deposited a $500 payment into that closed account. Instead of Netspend sending the money back, Netspend thought it prudent to KEEP my money. I am looking to escalate this into legal action. Please feel free to reach out to me if you like. I am very serious about filing a class-action suit.

    My account was fraudulently used on Augusta 9, 2021 for $1017.00 I filed a police report and they have the crooks on camera. Net spend is denying my dispute saying that they see absolutely nothing wrong on the transactions that were made and they said I’m the one benefiting from it. In other words they think I’m stealing my own money. I’m now filing a case thru small claims court to demand my money!

    I have had the worst experience with this company to date. I filed a dispute with my account on 5/28/21. Prior to this I notified them of fraud and they should not have let the 15 transactions go through to begin with. I am now out of over $300 and here we are a month later and they did everything all wrong on their end so now with no results I have sat on the phone over 2 hours being transferred around and told I’m SOL and they can’t do anything. They opened a whole new dispute and think I am supposed to wait another month because the original rep screwed everything up. In the mean time I have a phone that was disconnected and had to shut everything down AGAIN. This is outrageous. I filed a BBB COMPLAINT and I am still here on hold for a supposed manager of the supposed manager I just spoke to. Calls are recorded and I have sent numerous emails within this past month regarding this already. I want my money returned or I will contact attorney general and whoever else.

    Well Netspend wont allow a deposit to go thru on my card because its not in my name. Back in March the allowed a deposit to be made in the same persons name. They kept sending me different cards
    I never requested any of these cards. My friend has been waiting on his taxes since February 2021. In M March 2021 they alliwed his state tax to go thru. Now they’re saying that theyre sending his federal taxes back. Some sh*t about the system rejected the deposit.

    application they asked me for l provided, i was told on the 25th of June 2020 that the documents
    that i provided will be updated by the 2nd of July, and up to now am still going back and fourth
    with your company. My loan will soon be due for me to start making payments, l will very

    much appreciate it if my funds are released to me ASAP today, i will start charging 20 percent

    Contact me so we can do a class action lawsuit. I put money on a card and they won’t activate it cause I had a card previously which is wrong, unlawful in various ways, and I had a rep state they won’t activate the card plus hung up on me with no calls back. I never opened a card with them I only use money orders unless someone opened a card in my name and they authorized it which mean netspend and their employee committed another crime against me with identity theft. I will be seeking a lawyer. I am over these fraudulent companies who violate privacy acts with sharing my information around violating their sworn oaths to protect and serve as well as various national, state , and federal banking laws hustling and scamming customers

      Your company is a fraud. I am now talking to a attorney as I put money on this card to pay a bill and you are denying me access to the card and my money loaded on to this card. Unlawful practices violating various laws from a unlawful corporation.
      Therefore your company has stole my money. I will not wait for a refund as this will accrue late fee and charges to the company I am trying to pay. So now I am charging you fees, late, fees, hardship fees, fraud, scamming me, and taking my identity. Each day I do not have my card activated or money back you will be charged daily for all listed above. A list of each fee charges will be sent to you asap after I speak with a lawyer. You unlawfully and wrongfully violated various rights, privacy acts, privacy laws, constitutional laws and rights. I demand my card activated for the amount I put on the card now or a refund on this card and activated and I will no longer use or refer your company to another person in my life. You have two hours. I cannot believe your rep is not even contacting me back nor is the manager I continuously asked to speak with!!!!

      I DEMAND If my card is not activated I am charging your company double the amount by tomorrow 12/12/19, the next day another charge, and each day there after, 5 days and after you will be charged 500.00 a day, and fee and charges will be added to these fees each day going will be 500.00 till the next 5 and doubling to 1000.00 daily till 5 more days and then it will double to 2000.00 and will continue to increase doubling each amount till I am paid all fees and charges along with slander and defamation of character. Time is ticking I have copies of all communication. Demand of action and time of accruing fees starts now 12:31 pm 12/12/2019

    Yeah I bet that subject line made you want to open this. Listen, I have done business with your company for years and have been more then satisfied UNTIL tonight!!!! So your team found it to be appropriate to freeze my account without my knowledge. I have been out of work and barely getting by, which I told your girl tonight. That is when I called in after my card was declined leaving me very humilated and embarressed at the store, Great job there by the way!!!! So What little money I did have on the card was quickly sucked up by your company!!!. First apperantly I had a past due bill of 5.00 on the card, ok. Check 5 off, then they wouldnt lift the hold on the card I have had for YEARS!!!!! So I happened to have a secondary card already here. After I had to nearly beg her to just activate this card, She went over all my payment options……Well you know how this works, right???? Anyway I went, all the money I had just loaded today would be gone with nothing to show for it?!?!?! JUST BECUASE YOUR TEAM WONT RELEASE THE F-ING HOLD ON MY CARD!!!!!!!! REALLY????? So this is how I see it, You can either do the right thing here, and activate this new card, waiving the new first month down fee of only 5.00 because really, It is your company that is MAKING ME ACTIVATE A NEW CARD WHEN I DONT WANT TO, or you can show how money hungery you really are and I can take my business eleswhere!!! Because let’s face it, YOUre really one in a million pre paid card companies out there aren’t ya????? Oh and guess what, My facebook followers, My instagrams followers and All of my YouTube channel followers will know how sh**ty your company is!!! Because guess what, I do get paid to rate companies on line for extra cash and I will be so happy to let anyone and everyone know how much you need the 5.00 more then you need a customer that has been loyal to you for years. Happy holiday shopping Netsptend!!!!! Youre decision and I await your immediate response!!! You can find my information below!!
