If you plan on adding the GreenDot to a financial account.. Such as Paypal or whatever else accepts GreenDot, then after you exceed a certain limit they request verification documents or hold your funds AND account in limbo. This happened to me once.. I got everything verified, but it was a pain in my ass.
Right, this makes more sense than what I've said in my previous post.
The better the service provider knows you, the more they are willing to risk.
