Here’s what I mean by negative balance on green dot prepaid cards: Can someone go negative – spend more money than currently loaded on your green dot prepaid debit card? Will it “bounce” or will it be declined? What if you have $200 but accidentally spent $250?
To answer these questions, keep reading as I’m about to show you several scenarios that might apply to negative balances on green dot cards.
Scenario #1 of negative balance on green dot cards: What happens if you spend more than what’s loaded on your card. I’ve met a number of people who have negative balances on their green dot prepaid debit cards. They told me they reloaded the card with $200 and went to do some shopping. But somehow, one thing led to another and they spent $300 instead! Can it happen? Yes, negative balances occur most often because the customer didn’t keep track of how much he/she was spending… or simply made an error in calculations (they thought there were still several hundreds left on their prepaid debit card but it turned out that once they added up all purchases, the total exceeded $200).
Here’s what you should do: You will be charged negative $50 to $100 (if your negative balance is below negative $100). Green Dot prepaid debit card has a policy to charge customer negative $10 plus the negative total. Let me explain this in detail.
Each transaction greater than $5 and overdraws your account by more than $10, up to a maximum of five overdraft fees per monthly statement period, is eligible for fees.
