Walmart money card question
 

Will I be able to transfer money from my paypal to my walmart money card account? I got it verified and they sent the two small amounts to the walmart card. Thanks

Depends if the names are different, Walmart Money Card does not work with mismatch name deposits.

ahh ****. I've read different things all over. I tried to transfer $50 so I'll see if it gets returned. can you recommend me a bank to use that allows mismatch names?

Re: Walmart money card question
 

Note that even if it works once it doesnt mean itll work in the long run.
Why not just open a bank account and do things properly?

Re: Walmart money card question
 

I've tried them too and Walmart closed the card for the name mismatch.

Re: Walmart money card question
 

can someone please give me a bank account that still allows mismatch names then please?

Too many to list, try the search function....I promise, it won't hurt.

Bank Of America seems to be on every corner in the USA for starters.

staying lazy does not work with stealth. Just joshin ya. Amazingly most banks allow mismatched names.

Bank of America, Chase, Wood Forest...

The problem with the prepaid cards with a bank account attached is that most of them - the banking part - is run by Metabank and they are VERY STRICT on mismatched names. If you want to see if the card uses Metabank, check their Terms of Service. Most of the time, they will mention the bank name. My guess is that 80% of all these cards are served by Metabank.

Just to add to Jeffweico's comment.....EVEN those cards issued by Bankcorp are not always 100% safe and not guaranteed to work with mismatch name deposits.

Green dot cards have worked for me in The past, but only if you don't mind getting a phone verification every single time you withdraw. And only works if the account if already fully verified. Try to set up a new pp account with them green dot cards and instantly limited. I don't use them any more, I finally called pp to see why I got limited and the finally told me that they don't like prepaid banks..lol. So I just set up real bank accounts now, with many additional checking options/numbers. But I still have an account that gets transferred to green dot, and they call my tracfone every single time I transfer. But still working... If you have a legit bank they don't verify but once when you add it, if that. I hope that helps..

Good info here thanks to everyone. Just to let everyone know I sent a $50 test payment to the card and it actually went through. It was pending on the walmart website for a day but now its available. Will switch to a bank account as soon as i can tho. Thanks again

Re: Walmart money card question
 

Try withdrawing those funds, a lot of those cards will allow a deposit or two but eventually it will get blocked.....Wish you luck.

Re: Walmart money card question
 

I'm going to try tomorrow, thanks for the luck. I don't plan on using this after I get my new bank info. will update

Re: Walmart money card question
 

Anyone have any updates on these cards?

Re: Walmart money card question
 

Update? They don't work for mismatch name deposits....has not changed and it won't.

The vast majority of these cards will not work for stealth. I have used the WalMart money card because I heard that while most cards who have the banking handled by Metabank were not good for stealth the WalMart MoneyCard WAS. So, I tried it and was able to withdraw 3 or 4 times for between $50 and $100 and then then WalMart called me and told me that while I was still welcome to use the card, they would not allow any further deposits from any names not listed on the account. And to get listed, they needed the name of the other party and their SSN.

And PayPal and Amazon do not like the bank accounts attached to the cards and they CAN easily identify them. I don't know if it is through the routing number or due to the fact that the account numbers are abnormally large, but they are definitely aware of them.

There are only two basic things that work for stealth - that I know of - a real bank account or a virtual bank account. And VBA's won't work with Amazon. Amazon could verify them, that is not the problem, but you cannot withdraw to a VBA. So you MUST have a real bank account for Amazon (or Payoneer MAY work for them, I saw an advertisement for it but I have not looked into it). For eBay, a VBA will work, but you have to either spend the money at eBay or find another way to get the money out of your PayPal account.

And count yourself as lucky! Because in the US, any citizen can open as many accounts as they like as as many different banks as they like. Talk to the people in the UK or Australia and ask what they wouldn't give for that type of ability. It most places it is HARD to get more than a couple of accounts. `
