    Ms. ******* filed a dispute claim on March 27, 2025, for a transaction totaling $57.23 for non-receipt. The dispute is a non-Reg E claim therefore does not qualify for provisional credit. A chargeback was processed to recover the funds. We spoke to Ms. ******* on April 3, 2025, where she inquired about a merchant refund that had been processed on March 29, 2025. Ms. ******* was advised that refunds post between 3-5 business days.Upon receipt of the complaint we confirmed that a refund was not received.Although our Prepaid CARD Program is ending, any refund processed before May ******, will still be applied to the account. The investigation of the dispute is still ongoing and can take between ***** days from the date it was filed.  If Ms. ******* wishes to cancel her dispute,she will need to contact customer service. Should Ms. ******* require any additional information she can contact us at **************.

    Thank you for confirming that the account is now closed. But I am rejecting this response because there are several of these same complaints. Why would so many of the same issues occur within a short amount of time? More should be done to prevent this. Why would someone steal another persons identity just to open one of these cards? Doesnt make any sense. More investigating needs to happen to prevent this situation from happening. Plus, your card customer service number should be available 24/7 and it should be easier to speak with a human to address these types of situations.  

    Sincerely,

    ******** *****

    On April 4, 2025, we received a request to open the Account.  We verified the ** information that we were provided using a third-party service.  The account was opened with the identification information provided. Based on the complaint and positive confirmation that Ms. ***** did not apply for the CARD ************ Account, we have permanently closed the Account due to identity theft. There have been no deposits or card transactions in the Account. We can confirm that CARD does not report to the credit bureau, there is no correction for CARD to make. Should ******** require any additional information she can contact us at **************.

    I ordered a new debit card after they canceled my other debit card without telling me on March 10th. I paid an expedited fee to have it shipped by *** so I would receive it by the end of that week. However I did not receive the card by the end of that week. I called and was told that it could take up to 14 business days. I asked about the Expedition fee and she said they would have to open up an investigation to see what happened. I gave them the 14 days and called back again. Ask where my debit card was and they said they didn't know and that they did not have a tracking number for it. I asked about the expedited fee being refunded to my account and she said that would be done after the investigation was complete. Again I asked what I should be receiving my debit card and she said within four business days. However once again I did not receive my card in the mail. We are now going into April and I still have no debit card. I've ordered two of them since March 10th and have received neither one. *** has not delivered anything to my residence regarding this card or any card. Not being able to access my money to pay bills is causing a hardship. In addition to this after stating they were refunding me two fraudulent charges plus the Expedition fee my account is short 200 plus dollars. I sat down and did all the math and there is money missing. I just want my card so I can pay my bills and the money that's missing out of my account put back in it. I believe at this point the card should be sent to me overnight and not charged due to the inconvenience the company has caused me

    Ms. ********* sent an email notifying us of her request to dispute two transactions totaling $79.98 on March 7, 2025. An email was sent to her advising that her dispute notification had been forwarded to the ******************* and that her card had been close to prevent further unauthorized transactions. Ms. ********* was asked to contact customer service for a replacement card. We spoke to Ms. ********* on March 10, 2025, and a replacement card was processed via expedite delivery. Due to a processing issue the card was not delivered within the 4 business days quoted for expedite delivery. The shipping fee was reversed on April 3, 2025, and another card was processed and shipped. We do not offer overnight delivery; we apologize for the inconvenience. The dispute was credited on March 13, 2025, if there are additional funds missing from the account Ms. ********* will need to contact us.

    We called MS. ******* on April 2, 2025, but were unable to reach her and left a voicemail. The initial card was shipped on February *******. Our records indicated that the address was updated on March 4, 2025, and the initial card was replaced due to non-receipt. We also show that an additional card was requested on March 8, 2025. We confirmed that due to a processing error the cards were not shipped. We processed two additional cards that will be mailed to Ms. ******** current address.

    I am trying to close on a mortgage, but I need my statement from February. The app says it is available and I have received my normal monthly notification that it is available. I've been told by customer service is it not available. I've also been told it's an error. They can't even find my statement. I've been told there will be a 48 business hour investigation at which point I can call back to see if there's been any updates. No apologies. No nothing. One service *** even pretended my phone was breaking up as an excuse to try and end the call. This is after months of the app not loading, the website not loading, being unable to see my balance, randomly not being able to make purchases, the electronic card constantly falling. It's a terrible terrible service. I need a simple bank statement, but for some reason that's both a problem and something worth getting upset over a customer needing. I won't be doing business with them anymore.

    Card.com allowed a fraudulent bank account to be opened in my name. While identity theft is widespread, they are doing and exceptionally poor job confirming valid identity. Look through the other reviews, to see that this is standard operating procedure for them. They blame it on third parties they allegedly use to confirm identities. This is blatantly ineffective and done in bad faith. The company is set up so they arent reachable by phone, unless you give them your full social security number, amongst other information. No one in their right mind is going to do this. Ive made a report with the ************************************.

    An initial card was mailed to Ms. ****** on January 17, 2025.That card was reported as not received (lost) on February 4, 2025, via Ms.******* online account and a new card was requested. On February 6, 2025, an apartment number was added to the address via Ms. ******* online account. We spoke to Ms. ****** on February 21, 2025, and advised that the card requested on February 4, 2025, had been mailed to her address but the apartment number had not been included. Ms. ****** indicated that she would still receive the card. The second card was reported as not received on February 26, 2025, and a third card was mailed on February 28, 2025, via expedite delivery. We received notification that the expedited card package was reported lost, and the $29.95 fee was reversed on March 7, 2025. We have processed another replacement card request via expedite delivery but are experiencing issues with shipping. We reversed the second $29.95 shipping fee. Ms. ****** was able to access her balance via ACH transactions from March 13, 2025, through March 20, 2025. We are currently working on a resolution to our delivery issues, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We will contact Ms. ****** once the issue is resolved.

    In March of 2025, card.com opened a bank account for my adult daughter, ****** *** ***** and allowed ****** to receive direct deposits to this bank account without asking for any type of id verification from her. If they would have asked for identification, they would have known that she is incompetent and I am her legal power of attorney when it comes to finances. It wasnt until AFTER she recieved two direct deposits in the amount of ****** and ****** that they immediately, within the hour of recieving the deposit, suspended her account. Leaving her unable to have access to her whole monthly SSI check. She should have never been able to even open an account with no verification. She isn't even in charge of her own finances. They refuse to even close her account and pay her money via check or any other way.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    My claim shouldve been granted because the agent made an error and did not send me the form if I wouldve received the form I wouldve sent the document back at the time that you guys requested. It was not my fault that the agent did not send the form that was the agents job to make sure I receive the form. It was my job to make sure I reported the transactions in a timely manner which I did. I feel that my money should go back into my account. My dispute should be granite in my favor because it was an agents fault who never sent the dispute form to me at all as you stated in the previous message you are aware that the agent did not send me a dispute form so my claim should be granted in my favor thats the only resolution Im willing to accept because you guys just stated that it was you guys fault that you did not send The dispute form so how can I get denied for something? I never even received to have the chance to even turn in for you guys to view you just denied me when it was your agents fault that they never sent the documentation to me that I requested. The only resolution of this problem is to grant my claim in my favor.

    As stated previously the claim was reviewed upon receipt of the complaint. While we confirmed that there was an error in sending the dispute form, the denial was not based on the form not being returned. We stand behind our denial and will not be overturning our decision. We consider this matter closed.
