Easily Dispute Unfair Netspend Fees In 3 Steps

Prepaid credit cards, or pay-as-you-go cards, are often thought of as predatory financial schemes, much like payday loans. This is primarily because of the fees. Netspend fees are frequent, and they add up quickly. This prepaid card is considered a necessity by many, and getting rid of some of the fees can make the financial experience much more pleasant.

Many people with prepaid credit cards already have financial difficulty, which is why they aren't able to get other types of bank accounts. Although companies like Netspend provide solutions, they can charge seemingly unfair amounts for those solutions. That is why DoNotPay provides a way to get rid of Netspend fees successfully.

If you are being charged unfair fees by companies such as those listed above, sign up for DoNotPay and have them eliminated.

How Much Does Netspend Charge Per Transaction?

Netspend charges a fee for every transaction unless you have opted for a monthly fee. The fees are as follows:

The reduced monthly fee is allowed for persons who have direct deposits of $500 in one month. That direct deposit can be from an employer or government agency. It is only required for one month, and the account holder is not required to continue monthly deposits in that amount or from that source.

• Inactivity fee $5.95

As you can see, Netspend fees occur regardless of whether you use your prepaid card. They charge you no matter what happens. This is why many people consider the company to be predatory.

How to Avoid Netspend Fees

The best way to avoid Netspend fees is to avoid getting a card. There are other prepaid card options available, but to be honest, they also have unreasonable fees attached to them. They are able to do this because there are not very many limitations to getting the card, so people use Netspend as a last resort. They may also use them out of dislike of banking institutions.

Other ways to reduce Netspend fees are to completely understand the fee schedule, so you can optimize your card use. For example, it benefits some account holders to go on a monthly or reduced transaction fee schedule.

Does Netspend Have Hidden Fees?

Netspend fees are not necessarily hidden, but there are so many, they may feel unexpected or unwelcome. Most people using Netspend are not in the best financial position, so these fees can add up to a significant amount. What is significant depends on the cardholder.

The company has also been accused of misrepresenting their product. They make it very easy to obtain a card, even sending cards in the mail that require little more than activation. During tax season, Netspend advertises their cards as a way to receive tax returns.

It is very easy to be persuaded to get or use a card because the company focuses on ease of use rather than explanation of the fees. This makes sense from a marketing standpoint.

Many people cannot escape the need for a card such as those Netspend offers. That is why DoNotPay has included a way to waive these fees using their services.
