US Bank Freezes Accounts, Leaving Customers in Financial Crisis: Report

Customers of Green Dot Bank, a billion-dollar US bank that offers banking and debit card services to Walmart shoppers, are reporting difficulties accessing their funds and having their accounts frozen for days and weeks. The bank initially blamed a payment processing partner for the issues but now claims that its systems are fully operational, despite ongoing complaints from customers. The web outage tracker UpDownRadar also indicates a possible outage at Green Dot Bank. Affected customers, such as Sara Morgan and Mary Cannon, are facing financial distress and are unable to access their money. Walmart has not yet commented on the situation.
