Netspend Corporation
Netspend is an Austin, Texas-based financial technology company specializing in prepaid debit cards, debit accounts, payment services, account-management technology, and alternative financial products. The business was founded in 1999 and became one of the best-known U.S. providers of reloadable prepaid cards and related financial services for consumers who wanted alternatives to conventional checking accounts.
Netspend states that its products have served millions of customers nationwide. Current company information reports more than 200 million registered accounts, over 130,000 distribution and reload locations, and more than $1 trillion in funds processed over the company’s history. Its products are distributed directly and through retailers, employers, financial-services providers, pharmacies, convenience stores, grocers, tax preparers, and other partners.
Netspend is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking products accessible through Netspend are issued by partner banks such as Pathward, N.A., Republic Bank & Trust Company, and The Bancorp Bank, N.A., depending on the specific product. Eligible deposits can qualify for FDIC pass-through insurance subject to applicable requirements.

Netspend provides prepaid, debit, savings-related, digital payment, account-management, and financial technology services for consumers and enterprise partners. Its products are designed to make receiving, managing, spending, and transferring money easier through cards, mobile tools, direct deposit, retail reload networks, and partner financial institutions.
The Netspend Visa Prepaid Card is a reloadable prepaid payment card designed for everyday purchases and money management. Customers can use it wherever Visa debit cards are accepted, subject to the terms and fees of the specific card program.
Netspend also offers reloadable prepaid Mastercard products for qualifying customers. These cards can be used for purchases, bill payments, ATM transactions, and other eligible transactions wherever Debit Mastercard is accepted.
Netspend provides debit account products through participating banking partners. Depending on the specific program, customers can receive direct deposits, make purchases, withdraw cash, and manage account activity through Netspend’s digital tools.
Customers can receive qualifying payroll, government benefits, tax refunds, and other eligible payments through direct deposit. Funds may become available earlier than traditional payment methods depending on when the payer submits the deposit information.

Eligible Netspend accounts can be used to pay bills and recurring expenses. Customers may use their card details or supported account-management features to make payments to participating service providers.

Certain Netspend cards can be added to compatible mobile wallets for contactless and digital payments. Availability depends on the card program, issuing bank, device, and mobile wallet provider.
Some Netspend products support virtual account or virtual card functionality for online purchases. These tools can help customers make digital transactions without always using the physical card details directly.
Selected Netspend products include savings-related features provided through partner banks. Customers may be able to move money into a separate savings balance and earn interest according to the terms of the applicable account.
Certain qualifying accounts may offer a Purchase Cushion feature that allows a small transaction to be approved even when the available balance is slightly short. Eligibility, limits, and repayment requirements depend on the specific Netspend account.

Netspend’s current corporate-registration information identifies its principal office as:
Netspend Corporation
10900-A Stonelake Blvd.
Suite 200
Austin, TX 78759
United States
Netspend Corporation
10900-A Stonelake Blvd., Suite 200
Austin, TX 78759
United States
This is the strongest current verified physical corporate address.
Netspend Corporation
Customer Service
P.O. Box 2136
Austin, TX 78768-2136
United States
This address is used for customer correspondence and complaint-related mail.
Older corporate records list:
701 Brazos Street, Suite 1300
Austin, TX 78701
as NetSpend Holdings’ historical principal executive office. That address should now be treated as a legacy headquarters address, not the current physical corporate office.
Netspend’s corporate identity changed several times in recent years. The business changed from NetSpend Corporation to Ouro Global, Inc. in 2024, and current state registration records later show the corporate name changing back to Netspend Corporation in 2026.
The company moved away from the Ouro branding and returned to a unified Netspend identity. Older documents using Ouro or Ouro Global can still be historically relevant, but current content should prioritize the Netspend name.
Netspend itself is not a bank. Depending on the product, Netspend works with issuing banks including Pathward, N.A., Republic Bank & Trust Company, and The Bancorp Bank, N.A.
Eligible funds can qualify for FDIC pass-through insurance of up to $250,000 through the applicable issuing bank, subject to account-registration requirements, ownership-category rules, aggregation limits, and other conditions. This insurance protects against failure of the issuing bank, not failure of Netspend itself.
Netspend currently reports more than 130,000 distribution and reload locations nationwide where customers can purchase or reload qualifying products.
Customers who have a complaint involving a prepaid card, debit account, fee, unauthorized transaction, direct deposit, cash reload, account access, card replacement, money transmission, account closure, or another Netspend service should gather the relevant documentation before contacting the company. Keep transaction dates, amounts, receipts, card or account information, screenshots, correspondence, dispute records, and any case numbers already provided by Netspend. Do not send full passwords, PINs, or other unnecessary authentication credentials through unsecured communication.
Begin by calling 1-866-387-7363 and explain the problem clearly to a Customer Service representative. Have the relevant transaction, card, account, merchant, reload, or deposit information available so the representative can locate the issue. Ask whether the problem can be resolved immediately or whether a formal dispute or investigation is required. Request any available case or reference number and write down the representative’s name and date of contact. Keep copies of receipts, transaction records, and other supporting documentation.
If the matter requires written follow-up, log in to the Netspend Online Account Center and use the secure inbox. Netspend specifically encourages cardholders to send account-related emails through this secure communication channel rather than ordinary unsecured email. Include the case number, relevant transaction dates, amounts, and a concise explanation of what remains unresolved. Attach supporting documentation where the system permits it, but avoid sending PINs, passwords, or unnecessary sensitive information. Save copies or screenshots of messages and responses.
For a serious unresolved complaint, written correspondence can be sent to Netspend Corporation, Customer Service, P.O. Box 2136, Austin, TX 78768-2136. Include your name, appropriate account information, previous complaint reference numbers, important dates, transaction details, and the resolution you are requesting. Send copies rather than originals of receipts and supporting records. Netspend specifically states that customers should not send cash or checks to this mailing address. Keep a full copy of your letter and proof of mailing.
If a complaint specifically involves Netspend’s regulated money-transmission activity and remains unresolved, customers can review the complaint procedure for their state. In Texas, Netspend Corporation is licensed by the Texas Department of Banking under License #3045 / NMLS ID #932678. Texas customers should first contact Netspend Customer Service at 1-866-387-7363 before escalating a qualifying unresolved money-transmission complaint to the Texas Department of Banking. Other states can have different regulators and processes.
If the issue remains unresolved, the appropriate external process depends on the product and nature of the complaint. Banking-related issues may involve the issuing bank’s regulator, money-transmission complaints may involve state financial regulators, and certain consumer financial complaints may qualify for submission to federal or state consumer-protection agencies. Fraud and identity-theft matters can also involve law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission, or the customer’s other financial institutions. Keep all statements, receipts, complaint records, correspondence, and case numbers before escalating externally.
