MetaBank is the former name of Pathward, N.A., a nationally chartered U.S. bank headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The institution provides payment sponsorship, embedded banking infrastructure, prepaid and debit-card issuing services, tax-related financial products, commercial finance, equipment financing, working-capital solutions, structured finance, and other financial services for consumers, fintech companies, tax professionals, and businesses.
The institution traces its history to 1954, when Storm Lake Savings and Loan Association was founded in Iowa. It later operated as First Federal Savings Bank of the Midwest before developing its Meta Payment Systems business and eventually adopting the MetaBank name. In 2022, MetaBank changed its name to Pathward, N.A., while its publicly traded parent company became Pathward Financial, Inc.
Today, Pathward operates as a national bank focused primarily on Partner Solutions and Commercial Finance rather than a traditional branch-based community bank. The bank sold its community banking branch network in 2020 and currently operates without traditional consumer bank branches. Pathward Financial trades publicly on Nasdaq under ticker CASH.

Because Pathward provides services through many third-party card, fintech, lending, and tax partners, the correct complaint process depends on the product involved. Before filing a complaint, identify the program name, Pathward relationship, account or card type, relevant transaction dates, and any prior Customer Service reference numbers.
Begin with the support channel listed on your prepaid card, debit card, credit product, loan agreement, tax product, or online account. Many Pathward services are delivered through partner brands, so the consumer-facing support team may be operated by the program manager rather than Pathward directly. Explain the problem clearly and keep the representative’s name, date of contact, transaction details, and case number.
If the partner cannot resolve the issue or specifically directs you to Pathward, use the applicable Pathward channel. General prepaid-card inquiries can be sent to customerservice@pathward.com, Line of Credit customers can call 1-888-205-9170, and corporate inquiries can use 877-497-7497. Keep copies of account statements, transaction histories, card agreements, and previous responses.
Privacy complaints can be sent to privacy@pathward.com or reported by phone at 1-833-898-0023. Provide enough detail for Pathward to identify and investigate the issue without sending unnecessary sensitive credentials. For commercial-finance disputes, use the account manager or applicable business-office contact listed in the loan documentation.
For a serious unresolved complaint, send written correspondence to Pathward, N.A., 5501 South Broadband Lane, Sioux Falls, SD 57108. Include your name, contact information, applicable account or product, transaction dates, partner company, prior complaint history, and requested resolution. Use copies rather than original records and keep proof of mailing.
Pathward is a national bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. If a banking complaint remains unresolved, customers may use the OCC’s consumer-assistance process. Other matters may involve the CFPB, state consumer-protection authorities, or payment-card dispute processes depending on the product and issue. Preserve statements, transaction records, support transcripts, and Pathward responses before escalating.
