Moneypak terms and conditions
Last Updated: July 26, 2022
These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) govern the use of the MoneyPak. Green Dot Bank is
responsible for the funds associated with the MoneyPak from the time the MoneyPak is purchased until
the funds are transferred to the financial institution that issued the designated personalized prepaid
card or debit card, and Green Dot Corporation provides certain administrative and marketing services
for the MoneyPak. In these Terms, “Green Dot,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Green Dot Bank and
Green Dot Corporation.
Please read these Terms carefully. By purchasing the MoneyPak at an authorized retail location
(“Retailer”) or using (or allowing another person to use) the MoneyPak, you (and any person you allow
to use the MoneyPak) agree to these Terms. Green Dot may change these Terms, at any time without
notice to you, subject to applicable law.
SCHEDULE OF FEES
Fee Type Fee
Purchase Fee There is a one-time fee for the MoneyPak that will be collected by the
Retailer at the time of purchase. Check with the Retailer for information on
this fee before you purchase the MoneyPak.
Monthly Fee A $5.95 monthly fee will be debited from the balance of the MoneyPak
starting on the 31st day after purchase, except where prohibited by law.
The MoneyPak. INTEREST WILL NOT BE PAID TO YOU FOR ANY VALUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
MONEYPAK. THERE IS NO CREDIT CARD, CREDIT LINE, OVERDRAFT PROTECTION, OR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MONEYPAK. THE VALUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MONEYPAK IS NOT INSURED BY
THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC).
Using the MoneyPak. The MoneyPak has no value until it is activated by the Retailer at the time of
purchase. You may use the unique number printed on the MoneyPak (the “MoneyPak Number”) to add
funds to a personalized prepaid card issued by Green Dot Bank or a personalized prepaid card or debit
card issued by a third-party financial institution (“Issuer”). Treat the MoneyPak the same as you would
cash. We are unable to replace the funds associated with the MoneyPak if it is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Funds will be “loaded” or added to the MoneyPak at the time of its purchase. The minimum and
maximum amount that may be added to the MoneyPak may vary by Retailer. You may wait up to 90
minutes, and in some cases longer if fraudulent activity is suspected, after purchasing the MoneyPak to
use it to add funds to a personalized prepaid card or debit card (a “Transaction”).
The MoneyPak can only be used for a single Transaction and cannot be reloaded with additional funds
for future use. The entire balance of the MoneyPak will be transferred when you make the Transaction.
The MoneyPak cannot be used to purchase goods or services or to obtain cash at automated teller
machines. You agree that you will use the MoneyPak only as instructed. We may refuse to sell the
MoneyPak or process any Transaction that we believe may violate these Terms or applicable law.
Limits on the Use of the MoneyPak. For security or other reasons, we reserve the right to impose limits
on the MoneyPak, including limits on the amount of the Transaction you can perform with the
MoneyPak, subject to applicable law. More information on applicable limits is available at
www.moneypak.com. Any limitation on the MoneyPak will not otherwise affect your rights and
obligations under these Terms.

and services. Please see our Privacy Statement for further information. An Issuer’s privacy policy may
also apply, depending on the nature of your Transaction and the Issuer’s own policies; for information
on an Issuer’s privacy policy, please contact the applicable Issuer, as this is outside of Green Dot’s
control. Although no credit history is required to obtain the MoneyPak, you authorize Green Dot to
obtain information about you from time to time from credit reporting agencies and other third parties.
You agree that we may monitor and record your telephone and electronic communications with us at
any time, without further notice to you or any party to the communication.
Insufficient Balance. You should load sufficient value to the MoneyPak to pay for the Transaction you
wish to execute. We are not responsible for any late fees, overdrafts, declined transactions, service
terminations, or any other losses if the balance of the MoneyPak is insufficient to pay for the
Transaction you wish to execute.
Refunds. Once a Transaction is completed, Green Dot is not able to refund the Transaction amount. To
request a refund for an unused MoneyPak, you must visit www.moneypak.com and provide certain
identification information and the MoneyPak Number. We may also require you to provide a copy of
your government-issued identification and a copy of your receipt for the MoneyPak. We reserve the
right to limit or decline refunds.

with respect to all controversies arising out of or in connection with the use of the MoneyPak and these
Terms that are not subject to arbitration or to any proceedings to enforce the arbitration provision or to
confirm or vacate an arbitration award. Note: If our records reflect that you are a resident of Illinois, the
laws of the State of Illinois, rather than Utah, will apply to the extent federal law does not apply, and all
controversies arising out of or in connection with the use of the MoneyPak and these Terms that are not
subject to arbitration or to any proceedings to enforce the arbitration provision or to confirm or vacate
an arbitration award will be brought by us in the state and federal courts of Illinois.
Delay of Rights. Green Dot can waive or delay enforcement of any of its rights under these Terms
without losing them.

these Terms. Any attempt to the contrary will be null and void. These Terms will be binding on you, your
executors, and administrators.
Entire Agreement. These Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us,
whether written or oral, with respect to the MoneyPak and supersede any prior or contemporaneous
understandings or agreements between you and us with respect to the MoneyPak.
Severability. If any of the terms of these Terms are invalid, or declared invalid by order of court,
regulatory authority, or change in applicable law, the remaining terms of these Terms will not be
affected, and these Terms will be interpreted as if the invalid terms had not been included in these
Terms.

REGARDING THE MONEYPAK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: DELAYS OR MISTAKES RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR
CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, NATIONAL
EMERGENCIES, INSURRECTION, WAR, OR RIOTS; COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILURES; OR FAILURES OR
MALFUNCTIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, ANY INTERNET SERVICE, OR ANY PAYMENT
SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE TO YOU, YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER
YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL YOU BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE),
EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS PROVISION WILL NOT BE
EFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR RECOVERY FOR ANY ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT

Acknowledgment of Arbitration. The MoneyPak is being made available and priced by Green Dot on
the basis of your acceptance of the following arbitration clause. By accepting the MoneyPak, you
acknowledge that you are giving up the right to litigate Claims (as defined below) if either party elects
arbitration of the Claims pursuant to this clause, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and
you hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to trial of all Claims subject to these Terms. You
further acknowledge that you have read this arbitration provision carefully, agree to its terms, and are
entering into these Terms voluntarily and not in reliance on any promises or representations

ARBITRATION NOTICE
THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY, AS IT
AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Arbitration of Claims. Except as expressly provided herein, any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether
based upon contract; tort, intentional or otherwise; constitution; statute; common law; or equity and
whether pre-existing, present or future), including initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, and thirdparty claims, arising from or relating to (i) the MoneyPak; (ii) any service relating to the MoneyPak; (iii)
the marketing of the MoneyPak; (iv) these Terms, including the validity, enforceability, interpretation,
scope, or application of these Terms and this arbitration provision (except for the prohibition on class or
other non-individual claims, which will be for a court to decide); and (v) any other agreement or
instrument relating to the MoneyPak (“Claim”) will be decided, upon the election of you or Green Dot
(or Green Dot’s agents, employees, successors, representatives, affiliated companies, or assigns), by
binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to litigate a claim in court or to have a jury trial. The
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will serve as the arbitration administrator. You may obtain
copies of the current rules, forms, and instructions for initiating an arbitration with the AAA by
contacting the AAA as follows: online at www.adr.org or by writing to AAA at American Arbitration
Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043.
Other Claims Subject to Arbitration. In addition to Claims brought by either you or Green Dot, Claims
made by or against anyone connected with you or Green Dot or claiming through you or Green Dot
(including an employee, agent, representative, affiliated company, predecessor or successor, heir,
assignee, or trustee in bankruptcy) will be subject to arbitration as described herein.
Exceptions. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate any individual Claim you bring in small claims
court or an equivalent court so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. This arbitration provision
also does not limit or constrain Green Dot’s right to interplead funds in the event of claims to funds
loaded to the MoneyPak by several parties.
Individual Claims Only. Claims may be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Claims
subject to this arbitration provision may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with any Claim of
any other person or be arbitrated on a class basis, in a representative capacity on behalf of the general
public or on behalf of any other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
However,
the purchaser and any authorized users of a single MoneyPak are considered as one person, and Green
Dot, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates are considered as one person.
Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration, Green Dot will advance any arbitration fees, including any
required deposit. If Green Dot initiates or elects arbitration, Green Dot will pay the entire amount of the
arbitration fees, including any required deposit. Green Dot will also be responsible for payment and/or
reimbursement of any arbitration fees to the extent that such fees exceed the amount of the filing fees
you would have incurred if your Claim had been brought in the state or federal court nearest your
residence with jurisdiction over the Claims.
Procedure. A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least ten
years’ experience or a former or retired judge. The arbitration will follow the rules and procedures of
the arbitration administrator in effect on the date the arbitration is filed, except when there is a conflict
or inconsistency between the rules and procedures of the arbitration administrator and this arbitration
provision, in which case this arbitration provision will govern. Any in-person arbitration hearing for a
Claim will take place within the federal judicial district in which you live or at such other reasonably
convenient location as agreed by the parties. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law
consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), and will honor all claims of
privilege and confidentiality recognized at law. All statutes of limitations that would otherwise be
applicable will apply to any arbitration proceeding.
The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever
relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any appropriate court may enter judgment
upon the arbitrator’s aware. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving
interstate commerce and will be governed by the FAA.
