Banks. Some people prefer to use things like walmart money cards for their financial needs. Thats what cathy chooses to do. She wrote me recently when she bought a prepaid walmart card and put her entire paycheck on it. Unfortunately. Fraud was detected on the card. And her 600 paycheck got caught in the middle. For 2 months she claims she could not get her 600 back from walmart. And she wanted my help. We reached out to the folks who run the walmart bank cards. And investigating the fraud claims. But soon after our inquiry. They did cut her a check for 600 dollars. And also gave her a 50 gift card for the trouble. The lesson here is simple. Using those cards in lieu of traditional banking isnt any safer or secure than a traditional bank. In fact walmart money cards are run by a bank. And banking rules apply. That means fraud must be reported within 60 days. And investigation are long. Refunds can take weeks if not cards look like credit cards. Doesnt make them credit cards. And they dont offer the same protection. Theyre basically the same as cash. Thankfully this story has a happy ending for cathy.
