Reasons that Can Lead to Walmart MoneyCard Registration Problems

Sometimes, customers are declined for the Walmart MoneyCard when their identity can't be substantiated based on the details they provide. An email notification is usually sent to taxpayers that have been turned down for the card if they had provided an email address.

Federal law requires verification of the card applicant's identity. That is performed by collecting the name, Social Security Number, birth date, and address. After that, the information undergoes a verification process through third parties.

If that information cannot be corroborated, it might be because of any of the following reasons:

• The details were not entered correctly, for example, may be the physical address was spelled wrongly
• The address given is P.O BOX or a prison address
• The details given do not match, for instance, the Social Security Number may not match the name provided
• The information presented is not yet a part of the public records, for example, if the applicant was recently given a Social Security Number
• The applicant has gone beyond the maximum amount of open and active MoneyCards connected to their Social Security Number
• The individual's details are earmarked in Walmart's system such that they cannot issue the card, for instance, because of previous suspicious activity

If you are having trouble registering your Walmart MoneyCard, you should contact their customer service department to talk to a live agent.
