How do I use Green Dot @ the Register to add cash to my online account?
  • Log into your online account, select “Green Dot @ the Register”, usually located as an option in the section where you add funds to your account.
  • Select a retailer and we’ll make a custom barcode for you.
  • Print or get the barcode on your smartphone and bring it to the register (along with your cash). A $4.95 service fee applies. The mobile barcode will expire in one hour. The print barcode will expire after 48 hours.
TIP for mobile users: Wait until you are at the retail location to generate your barcode on your phone. Once a barcode is generated on your mobile phone, it will expire after one hour, and you will have to create a new one. If you accidentally close or refresh your barcode page, you’ll have to generate a new barcode.
Why should I use Green Dot @ the Register to add money to my account?
It lets you quickly and easily add cash to your account at thousands of participating retail locations.
How is Green Dot @ the Register different than a MoneyPak?

Your money goes straight to your account. No need to scratch off the back of MoneyPaks and type in a PIN number online. The money is sent to your online account right at the register!

Once you’ve added cash to your online account through Green Dot @ the Register, the money will typically be in your account in 10 minutes for you to use. You can check your balance at your service provider’s website.

With MoneyPak, after purchase, there is up to a 60-minute delay before your MoneyPak is ready to use.

Why did my service provider reject my Green Dot @ the Register funding transaction?
Green Dot has no information about your online account. Please contact your service provider for assistance with your account.
My barcode did not work at the store. What happened?

You should check a few things:

Always check the expiration date next to your barcode before you use it. If it is expired, you will need to create a new barcode.

Also, you can only use two barcodes at a time, so try to use your barcode before you generate another one.

If you still cannot use your barcode after checking all of the above, please contact your service provider for assistance with your account.

How can I protect myself from fraud?
Protecting yourself from fraud is simple with Green Dot @ the Register. Just remember only to use barcodes that you personally generated from your own account. Never use a barcode someone else gave you, because it is probably a scam.
