3. The website also allows you to reload your card, view your transaction history, and find a free ATM close to your location

Using Your Phone

If you can't check the account balance on your Green Dot card through their website, you can do it on the phone. Contact them on the phone and explain that you would like to check your balance. The customer service representatives will help you.

If you don't get to speak with a live agent, use the keypad option to make inquiries. When you are given options, choose 1 and it will direct you to balance inquiry. When prompted, enter the relevant details. Use the instructions from the automated voice to complete the process.

Using the Green Dot Mobile App

The app is one of the most convenient ways to check your balance. Its features are similar to a mobile website. It uses GPS to find a free ATM close to your location. Download the app from the mobile app store.

Sending a Text Message

You may send a text message to Green Dot to check your balance. The first step is to log in to your account. Click on the link 'Mobile' and register your phone number. Type 'BAL XXXX.' Note that X represents the last four digits of your card number. There should be some space between 'BAL' and the numbers. Send the message to 4311.
