Can MoneyPak be used to add money to Paypal?

MoneyPaks only works with activated prepaid or bank debit cards.

You cannot use a MoneyPak to purchase goods or services, pay bills, or add money to a PayPal account.

Can I use MoneyCard to reload a Temporary Prepaid Debit Card?

No, you cannot use MoneyPak to reload temporary cards.

Temporary cards are cards that have not been registered with the card provider (or where registration was not properly completed).

In addition, temporary cards do not have the cardholder’s name on the front.

If you have a new card without your name on it, you must register it on your card provider’s website to be able to use that card with MoneyPak.

Once you have a personalized card with your name on it and have successfully registered the card, then you can use it to accept deposits from a MoneyPak as long as it is eligible.

Which Prepaid Debit Cards can I use with MoneyPak?

MoneyPak will only work with prepaid or bank debit cards that have been activated and are personalized with the recipient’s name.

Our Overall Review of Green Dot MoneyPak

Green Dot’s MoneyPak is one solution for those who do not have a bank account to deposit money and have to rely on Prepaid Debit Card.

However, it comes with a fee that is considerably high.

When sending money to someone with a bank account, using tools like Venmo, CashApp or PayPal can be much more affordable and convenient.
