I Think the bigger question is why wouldn’t you get it on the card and who started the rumor that we wouldn’t? It’s a Bank, there’s a Routing and Account number, it’s a FDIC member , IRS already DIRECT DEPOSITED money on there and money can STILL be direct deposited. The Santa Barbra stuff is not related and Green Dot bank goes by these names :GoBank, Green Dot Bank and Bonneville Bank. until Turbo Tax or Green Dot website gives alternative info then try to relax. I need the money just as bad as some others do and I think it’s clouding the common sense aspect here. If you were using any other bank with Direct Deposit you would not stress it. Government clearly stated that Direct deposit info given to them is what they will use and the only way you wouldn’t get your money is if Green Dot literally choses to reject it and thats not in there best interest nor would it make any sense whatsoever. Make sure your card is activated and if you really want to see if the Direct Deposit works just have your employer load a small amount on it. It will work and though I can’t stand this card either ,“at the moment” it will work for its intended purposes.
