Tell us at once if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen. Reporting your
Card lost or stolen online at www.greendot.com or calling us at the number on the
back of your Card is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could
lose all the money on your Card. If you tell us within two business days after learning
of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone
used your Card or PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two
business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can
prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your
permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. (Note: If your Card is
a MasterCard Card, you will not be liable for the amounts stated above if: your Card
is in good standing; you have not reported more than two incidents of unauthorized
use in the preceding 12 months; and you have exercised reasonable care in
safeguarding your Card from risk of loss or theft. If your Card is a Visa Card, you will
not be liable for the amounts stated above unless we determine that you were
grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card.) You agree that any
unauthorized use does not include use by a person to whom you have given authority
to use the Card or PIN and that you will be liable for all such uses by such person.
Also, if your on-line or paper transaction history shows transfers that you did not
make, including those made by your Card, PIN or other means, tell us at once. If you
do not tell us within 60 days after: (i) you electronically access your Card information
at www.greendot.com; or (ii) we provide you with a written history of your Card
transactions, you may not get back any Card value you lost after the 60 days if we
can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the Card value if you
had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you
from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

may request a written history of your transactions at any time by calling the number
identified above or the number on the back of your Card or by writing us at Written
History Request, Green Dot Corporation, P.O. Box 1187, Monrovia, California 91017.
When notifying us, you will need to tell us: (i) your name and Card number; (ii) why
you believe there is an error, and the dollar amount involved; and (iii) approximately
when the error took place. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your
complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear
from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we
may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do
this, we will credit the Card within 10 business days for the amount you think is in
error, so that you will have the use of the value during the time it takes us to
complete the investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing
and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit the Card.
For errors involving new cards, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your
Card for the amount you think is in error. For errors involving point-of-sale or foreign
initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or
question. We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our
investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written
explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our
investigation. If you need more information about our error resolution procedures,
call us at 866-795-7597 or the number on the back of your Card or visit
www.greendot.com.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering
activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for
you: When you sign up for your Card, we will ask for your name, address, date of
birth, social security number and other information that will allow us to identify you.
We may also ask to see copies of your driver's license or other identifying
documents. We also will request information of any Registered User, including, but
not limited to, the full name and date of birth of any Registered User. Once you have
been authorized, you will be sent a personalized prepaid card.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT ANY OF YOUR ACCESS DEVICES HAVE BEEN LOST OR
STOLEN OR THAT SOMEONE HAS TRANSFERRED OR MAY TRANSFER MONEY FROM
YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. Remember that your Registered Mobile Phone is an Access Device,
and thus its loss or theft must also be reported to us if you are enrolled in YAP
Services. Contacting Customer Service via telephone is the preferred method of
communication regarding lost or stolen Access Devices. If your Access Device has
been lost or stolen, we will close your Account. If your PIN has been compromised,
we retain the right to reset your PIN.
You may be liable for unauthorized use of your Access Devices. If you inform us
within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of any of your Access
Devices, you will not be liable for more than $50 if someone used your Access
Device without your permission. If you do NOT notify us within two Business Days
after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access Device, and we can prove we
could have stopped someone from using your Access Device without your
permission if you had notified Customer Service, you could be liable for as much as
$500. If your Account history shows transactions that you did not authorize, notify
Customer Service immediately. If you fail to notify Customer Service of
unauthorized transactions on your Account within 90 days after the Account history
was available to you, you may not be entitled to recover any funds you lost after
the 90 days if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized
transaction if you had notified Customer Service in time.

Contact Customer Service immediately if you think your Account history or receipt
is wrong or if you require additional information about a transaction listed on the
Account history or receipt. You must contact Customer Service no later than 90
days after the problem or error appears in your Account history. You should provide
the following information: name, Account number, description of the error or the
transaction, explanation as to why you believe it is an error or why you need more
information, and the dollar amount of the suspected error. If you inform us orally,
we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within 10
Business Days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 Business
Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we require
additional time, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or
question. If additional investigation is required, we will credit your Account within
10 Business Days for the disputed amount. If we ask you to put your complaint or
question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not
credit your Account. For errors involving new Accounts, POS, or foreign-initiated
transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.
For new Accounts, we may take up to 20 Business Days to credit your Account for
the disputed amount. We will inform you of the results within three Business Days
after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send
you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that were used
in the investigation.

Consumer Action Pre-Paid Credit Card Survey - 2012
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that
an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from
your Card or PIN by calling 1.866.229.8885. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your
possible losses down. You could lose all the money on your Card. If you tell us within two
business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, you can lose no more than
$50 if someone used your Card without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two
business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, and we can prove we could
have stopped someone from using your Card without your permission if you had told us, you
could lose as much as $500. (Note: MasterCard has a Zero Liability Policy, which applies
only for signature purchase transactions. Under that policy, you will not be liable for the
amounts stated above if: (i) your Card is in good standing, (ii) you have not reported more
than two incidents of unauthorized use in the preceding 12 months, and (iii) you have
exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your Card from risk of loss or theft.) Also, if your
statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by Card, code or
other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within either 60 days after you
electronically access your Card history, provided that the electronic history made available
to you reflects the transfer, or within 60 days after we send you a written history in
response to your request for your Card transactions, you may not get back any money you
lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the
money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay)
kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

In Case of Errors or Questions about your Card telephone us at 866.229.8885 or write us at
OneWest Bank, FSB, P.O. Box 7056, Pasadena, CA 91109-9699 as soon as you can, if you
think an error has occurred on your Card. We must allow you to report an error until 60
days after the earlier of the date you electronically access your Card history, if the error
could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on
which the error appeared. You may request a written history of your transactions at any
time by calling us at 1.866.229.8885 or writing us at OneWest Bank, FSB, P.O. Box 7056,
Pasadena, CA 91109-9699. You will need to tell us: 1. Your name and Card number. 2.
Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can
why you believe it is an error or why you need more information. 3. Tell us the dollar
amount of the suspected error. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your
complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an
error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error
promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your
complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Card within 10 business
days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it
takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in
writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your Card.
For errors involving new Cards, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take
up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Cards, we may take up to
20 business days to credit your Card for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the
results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there
was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the
documents that we used in our investigation. If you need more information about our error-
resolution procedures, call us at 866.229.8885.

Consumer Action Pre-Paid Credit Card Survey - 2012
Contact us at once if you believe your Card has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the
best way to minimize your possible losses. If you believe your Card has been lost or
stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Card
Account without your permission, call us at 877-883-6688 (direct dial international
904-425-9077). Under MasterCard Rules, your liability for unauthorized MasterCard
transactions on your Card Account is $0.00 if you notify us within two (2) business
days and you exercise reasonable care in safeguarding your Card from loss, theft, or
unauthorized use. This reduced liability does not apply if a PIN is used as the method
of verification for a disputed transaction or you have reported two (2) or more
incidents of unauthorized use in the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.
If you notify us within two (2) business days from a non-authorized transaction, you
can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card without your permission. If
you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of
your Card and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your
Card without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose as much
as $500.00. Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions
that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedure indicated in the
"Error Resolution Notice" section. If you do not notify us in writing within sixty (60)
days after you become aware of the transaction and/or after the statement was made
available to you, you may not get back any value you lost after the sixty (60) days if
we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the value if you had
notified us in time and you are grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your
Card. If your Card has been lost or stolen, we will close your Card Account to keep
losses down.

Prepaid Card, P.O. Box 111, Presque Isle, Maine 04769-0111 or email us at
[email protected] as soon as you can, if you think an error has
occurred in your Card Account. We must allow you to report an error until sixty (60)
days after the earlier of the date you electronically access your Card Account, if the
error could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written
history on which the error appeared. You may view your transaction history at any
time on-line or request a written history of your transactions at any time by calling us
at 877-883-6688 (direct dial international 904-425-9077) or writing us at Univision
MasterCard Prepaid Card, P.O. Box 111, Presque Isle, Maine 04769-0111.
You will need to tell us, Your name and Card Account number, Why you believe there
is an error, and the dollar amount involved, Approximately when the error took place.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in
writing within ten (10) business days. We will determine whether an error occurred
within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error
promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to
investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your
Card Account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so
that you will have the money during the time it takes us to complete our
investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and you do
not provide it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Card. For errors
involving new Cards, POS transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take
up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Card
Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Card Account
for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three (3)
business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error,
we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that
we used in our investigation. If you need more information about our error-resolution
procedures, call us at 877-883-6688 (direct dial international 904-425-9077) or visit

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Walmart MoneyCard or PIN has been lost or stolen.
Calling is the best way of notifying us. You will not lose any part of the money on your
Walmart MoneyCard based on unauthorized use if you have exercised reasonable care in
safeguarding your card and PIN from risk of loss or theft. However, if these conditions are
NOT met, you could lose the lesser of $50 or the amount of unauthorized use from your
Walmart MoneyCard before you notify us that your card has been lost or stolen. If you
believe your Walmart MoneyCard or PIN has been lost or stolen, report it online at
walmartmoneycard.com or call (877) 937-4098, or write to Our Mail Address.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR WALMART MONEYCARD: Call us at (877)
937-4098 or write to us at Our Mail Address as soon as you can if you think an error has
occurred on your Walmart MoneyCard. We must allow you to report an error until 60 days
after the earlier of the date you electronically access your Walmart MoneyCard, if the error
could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on
which the error appeared. You may request a written history of your transactions and reloads
at any time by calling us at (877) 937-4098 or writing us at Our Mail Address. You will need
to tell us: 1. Your name and Walmart MoneyCard number. 2. Why you believe there is an
error, and the dollar amount involved. 3. Approximately when the error took place. If you tell
us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10
business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we
hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may
take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will
credit your Walmart MoneyCard within 10 business day for the amount you think is in error,
so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our
investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not
receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your Walmart MoneyCard. For errors
involving new customers, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, loads, or reloads, we
may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new customers, we
may take up to 20 business days to credit your Walmart MoneyCard for the amount you think
is in error. We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our
investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If you need more
information about our error-resolution procedures, call us at (877) 937-4098 or visit
walmartmoneycard.com.

You do not have to apply for a personalized card to receive a Tempoarary Card. The initial
load to a Temporary Card may be made only at a participating Walmart store through the
Green Dot Financial Network. There is an initial minimum load of $20. Once approved, a
Temporary Card is reloadable only by direct deposit, bank transfer, and MoneyPak only after
you have activated the Temporary Card and we have verified your identity. You must activate
the Temporary Card and choose a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”), either by going
online to walmartmoneycard.com or by calling toll-free (877) 965-7848. You must have both
your Temporary Card and receipt with you when you call to activate or for any refunds. After
you activate your Temporary Card and your identity has been verified, you will receive a
Personalized Card in the mail. If unable to verify your identity, you will not receive a
Personalized Card and your Temporary Card will not be reloadable. You will receive the
amount loaded on the Temporary Card and any fees you paid or be allowed to use the
Temporary Card until the balance on the card is zero.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen or if you believe that an electronic
fund transfer has been made without your permission.. Telephoning toll-free at 888-366-7079 is the best way
of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Card account. If you tell us within
2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if
someone used your Card or PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after
you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from
using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if
your electronic history shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by your Card or other
means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days of the earlier of the date you electronically access
your account, if the unauthorized transfer could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the
FIRST written history on which the unauthorized transfer appeared, you may not get back any money you lost
after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told
us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend
the time periods for a reasonable period.

In case of errors or questions about your Card transactions, call 888-366-7079 or write to Western Union
Mun2 Prepaid MasterCard Customer Service, P.O. Box 550578, Sunrise, FL 33355 as soon as possible if you
think an error has occurred in your Card account. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the
earlier of the date you electronically access your account, if the error could be viewed in your electronic
history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the error appeared. You may request a
written history of your transactions at any time by contacting us at the number or address above. You will
need to tell us the following: (1) your name, (2) your Card number, (3) why you believe there is an error, (4)
the dollar amount involved, and (5) approximately when the error took place. If you tell us orally, we may
require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine
whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error
promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or
question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 business days for the
amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it takes us to complete our
investigation. Funds will remain contingent on whether we determine if an error occurred. If we ask you to
put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit
your account. For errors involving new accounts, POS, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90
days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to
credit your account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three business
days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written
explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation. If you have any further
questions regarding our error resolution procedures, please contact us by calling: 888-366-7079.
