Call the Customer Service Number or write American Express, PO Box 30383, Salt

Lake City, UT 84130 as soon as you can if you think your Online Transaction History or

receipt is wrong, if you believe that an unauthorized transaction has occurred or if you

need more information about a particular transaction. In the case of queries regarding

Online Transaction History, AmEx must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days

after the earlier of (i) the date you electronically access your Online Transaction

History, if the error could be viewed there, or (ii) the date the FIRST written history on

which the error appeared was sent. You may request a 60-day written history of your

transactions at any time by calling the Customer Service Number or writing us at

American Express, PO Box 30383, Salt Lake City, UT 84130. If you are delayed in

contacting AmEx due to extenuating circumstances (such as a hospital stay or

personal accident), we may extend this sixty (60) days for a reasonable time. AmEx

will determine whether an error or unauthorized transaction occurred within 10

business days after they hear from you and will correct any error or unauthorized

transaction promptly. AmEx may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or

question. AmEx will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you

think is in error or relates to an unauthorized transaction, so that you will have the

money during the time it takes us to complete their investigation.

Tell us at once if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen. Reporting your

Card lost or stolen online at www.greendot.com or calling us at the number on the

back of your Card is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could

lose all the money on your Card. If you tell us within two business days after learning

of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone

used your Card or PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two

business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can

prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your

permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. (Note: If your Card is

a MasterCard Card, you will not be liable for the amounts stated above if: your Card

is in good standing; you have not reported more than two incidents of unauthorized

use in the preceding 12 months; and you have exercised reasonable care in

safeguarding your Card from risk of loss or theft. If your Card is a Visa Card, you will

not be liable for the amounts stated above unless we determine that you were

grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card.) You agree that any

unauthorized use does not include use by a person to whom you have given authority

to use the Card or PIN and that you will be liable for all such uses by such person.

Also, if your on-line or paper transaction history shows transfers that you did not

make, including those made by your Card, PIN or other means, tell us at once. If you

do not tell us within 60 days after: (i) you electronically access your Card information

at www.greendot.com; or (ii) we provide you with a written history of your Card

transactions, you may not get back any Card value you lost after the 60 days if we

can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the Card value if you

had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you

from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

Telephone us at 866-795-7597 or the number on the back of your Card, or write to

us at Green Dot Customer Care, P.O. Box 1187, Monrovia, California 91017 as soon

as you can, if you think an error has occurred in your Card account. We must allow

you to report an error until 60 days after: (i) the earlier of the date you electronically

accessed your account, provided the error could be viewed in the electronic history;

or (ii) the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the error appeared. You

may request a written history of your transactions at any time by calling the number

identified above or the number on the back of your Card or by writing us at Written

History Request, Green Dot Corporation, P.O. Box 1187, Monrovia, California 91017.

When notifying us, you will need to tell us: (i) your name and Card number; (ii) why

you believe there is an error, and the dollar amount involved; and (iii) approximately

when the error took place. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your

complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear

from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we

may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do

this, we will credit the Card within 10 business days for the amount you think is in

error, so that you will have the use of the value during the time it takes us to

complete the investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing

and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit the Card.

For errors involving new cards, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your

Card for the amount you think is in error. For errors involving point-of-sale or foreign

initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or

question. We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our

investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written

explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our

investigation. If you need more information about our error resolution procedures,

call us at 866-795-7597 or the number on the back of your Card or visit

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering

activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record

information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for

you: When you sign up for your Card, we will ask for your name, address, date of

birth, social security number and other information that will allow us to identify you.

We may also ask to see copies of your driver's license or other identifying

documents. We also will request information of any Registered User, including, but

not limited to, the full name and date of birth of any Registered User. Once you have

been authorized, you will be sent a personalized prepaid card.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT ANY OF YOUR ACCESS DEVICES HAVE BEEN LOST OR

STOLEN OR THAT SOMEONE HAS TRANSFERRED OR MAY TRANSFER MONEY FROM

YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE

IMMEDIATELY. Remember that your Registered Mobile Phone is an Access Device,

and thus its loss or theft must also be reported to us if you are enrolled in YAP

Services. Contacting Customer Service via telephone is the preferred method of

communication regarding lost or stolen Access Devices. If your Access Device has

been lost or stolen, we will close your Account. If your PIN has been compromised,

we retain the right to reset your PIN.

You may be liable for unauthorized use of your Access Devices. If you inform us

within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of any of your Access

Devices, you will not be liable for more than $50 if someone used your Access

Device without your permission. If you do NOT notify us within two Business Days

after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access Device, and we can prove we

could have stopped someone from using your Access Device without your

permission if you had notified Customer Service, you could be liable for as much as

$500. If your Account history shows transactions that you did not authorize, notify

Customer Service immediately. If you fail to notify Customer Service of

unauthorized transactions on your Account within 90 days after the Account history

was available to you, you may not be entitled to recover any funds you lost after

the 90 days if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized

transaction if you had notified Customer Service in time.

Contact Customer Service immediately if you think your Account history or receipt

is wrong or if you require additional information about a transaction listed on the

Account history or receipt. You must contact Customer Service no later than 90

days after the problem or error appears in your Account history. You should provide

the following information: name, Account number, description of the error or the

transaction, explanation as to why you believe it is an error or why you need more

information, and the dollar amount of the suspected error. If you inform us orally,

we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within 10

Business Days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 Business

Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we require

additional time, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or

question. If additional investigation is required, we will credit your Account within

10 Business Days for the disputed amount. If we ask you to put your complaint or

question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not

credit your Account. For errors involving new Accounts, POS, or foreign-initiated

transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.

For new Accounts, we may take up to 20 Business Days to credit your Account for

the disputed amount. We will inform you of the results within three Business Days

after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send

you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that were used

in the investigation.

Consumer Action Pre-Paid Credit Card Survey - 2012

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that

an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from

your Card or PIN by calling 1.866.229.8885. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your

possible losses down. You could lose all the money on your Card. If you tell us within two

business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, you can lose no more than

$50 if someone used your Card without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two

business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, and we can prove we could

have stopped someone from using your Card without your permission if you had told us, you

could lose as much as $500. (Note: MasterCard has a Zero Liability Policy, which applies

only for signature purchase transactions. Under that policy, you will not be liable for the

amounts stated above if: (i) your Card is in good standing, (ii) you have not reported more

than two incidents of unauthorized use in the preceding 12 months, and (iii) you have

exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your Card from risk of loss or theft.) Also, if your

statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by Card, code or

other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within either 60 days after you

electronically access your Card history, provided that the electronic history made available

to you reflects the transfer, or within 60 days after we send you a written history in

response to your request for your Card transactions, you may not get back any money you

lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the

money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay)

kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

In Case of Errors or Questions about your Card telephone us at 866.229.8885 or write us at

OneWest Bank, FSB, P.O. Box 7056, Pasadena, CA 91109-9699 as soon as you can, if you

think an error has occurred on your Card. We must allow you to report an error until 60

days after the earlier of the date you electronically access your Card history, if the error

could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on

which the error appeared. You may request a written history of your transactions at any

time by calling us at 1.866.229.8885 or writing us at OneWest Bank, FSB, P.O. Box 7056,

Pasadena, CA 91109-9699. You will need to tell us: 1. Your name and Card number. 2.

Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can

why you believe it is an error or why you need more information. 3. Tell us the dollar

amount of the suspected error. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your

complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an

error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error

promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your

complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Card within 10 business

days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it

takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in

writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your Card.

For errors involving new Cards, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take

up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Cards, we may take up to

20 business days to credit your Card for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the

results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there

was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the

documents that we used in our investigation. If you need more information about our error-

resolution procedures, call us at 866.229.8885.

unauthorized use. This reduced liability does not apply if a PIN is used as the method

of verification for a disputed transaction or you have reported two (2) or more

incidents of unauthorized use in the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.

If you notify us within two (2) business days from a non-authorized transaction, you

can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card without your permission. If

you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of

your Card and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your

Card without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose as much

as $500.00. Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions

that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedure indicated in the

"Error Resolution Notice" section. If you do not notify us in writing within sixty (60)

days after you become aware of the transaction and/or after the statement was made

available to you, you may not get back any value you lost after the sixty (60) days if

we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the value if you had

notified us in time and you are grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your

Card. If your Card has been lost or stolen, we will close your Card Account to keep

losses down.

You do not have to apply for a personalized card to receive a Tempoarary Card. The initial

load to a Temporary Card may be made only at a participating Walmart store through the

Green Dot Financial Network. There is an initial minimum load of $20. Once approved, a

Temporary Card is reloadable only by direct deposit, bank transfer, and MoneyPak only after

you have activated the Temporary Card and we have verified your identity. You must activate

the Temporary Card and choose a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”), either by going

online to walmartmoneycard.com or by calling toll-free (877) 965-7848. You must have both

your Temporary Card and receipt with you when you call to activate or for any refunds. After

you activate your Temporary Card and your identity has been verified, you will receive a

Personalized Card in the mail. If unable to verify your identity, you will not receive a

Personalized Card and your Temporary Card will not be reloadable. You will receive the

amount loaded on the Temporary Card and any fees you paid or be allowed to use the

Temporary Card until the balance on the card is zero.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen or if you believe that an electronic

fund transfer has been made without your permission.. Telephoning toll-free at 888-366-7079 is the best way

of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Card account. If you tell us within

2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if

someone used your Card or PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after

you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from

using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if

your electronic history shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by your Card or other

means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days of the earlier of the date you electronically access

your account, if the unauthorized transfer could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the

FIRST written history on which the unauthorized transfer appeared, you may not get back any money you lost

after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told

us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend

the time periods for a reasonable period.

In case of errors or questions about your Card transactions, call 888-366-7079 or write to Western Union

Mun2 Prepaid MasterCard Customer Service, P.O. Box 550578, Sunrise, FL 33355 as soon as possible if you

think an error has occurred in your Card account. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the

earlier of the date you electronically access your account, if the error could be viewed in your electronic

history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the error appeared. You may request a

written history of your transactions at any time by contacting us at the number or address above. You will

need to tell us the following: (1) your name, (2) your Card number, (3) why you believe there is an error, (4)

the dollar amount involved, and (5) approximately when the error took place. If you tell us orally, we may

require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine

whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error

promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or

question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 business days for the

amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it takes us to complete our

investigation. Funds will remain contingent on whether we determine if an error occurred. If we ask you to

put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit

your account. For errors involving new accounts, POS, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90

days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to

credit your account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three business

days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written

explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation. If you have any further

questions regarding our error resolution procedures, please contact us by calling: 888-366-7079.
