How to check remaining balance on PA UC Money Network card?
Hi everyone. I received my Money Network card from PA UC last week after my claim was finally approved (took FOREVER). But now I can't figure out how to check how much is on it? I tried looking at the paperwork that came with it but I must have thrown it away by accident. Is there a website or number I can call to see my balance? I need to budget carefully and want to know exactly what I'm working with. Thanks for any help!

You can check your Money Network card balance in a few ways: 1. Call the number on the back of your card (should be 888-233-5916) 2. Download the Money Network mobile app 3. Create an account at moneynetwork.com I personally prefer the app - it's super simple and shows your transaction history too. Just set up an account using the card number and you're good to go!

the number on back of card works but they ALWAYS put me on hold for like 20 mins!!! so annoying. the website is better if u dont mind creating ANOTHER account for something. also u can check at any atm but they charge fees so dont do that unless emergency

I second this! Always check balance online - ATM fees will nickel and dime you to death. I lost like $15 in fees before I figured this out.

Has anyone else had trouble with the Money Network website? I've been trying to check my balance for DAYS and it keeps saying my account is locked or something. Called the customer service line and got disconnected THREE TIMES after waiting forever. Seriously thinking about just transferring everything to my bank account so I don't have to deal with this garbage card anymore!!

I had the same issue last month! If you're having trouble reaching Money Network's customer service, you might want to try Claimyr (claimyr.com). They helped me get through to a PA UC agent who was able to verify my card was active and resolve the login issue. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The PA agent told me that sometimes the cards get locked if you enter the wrong PIN too many times or if there's any fraud suspicion. Once I got through, they fixed it in like 5 minutes.

Am i the only 1 who just withdraws all the $ as soon as it hits the card??? I dont trust these prepaid cards, had 1 get hacked b4. I just take it all out and put in my regular bank. No fees that way either.

You're actually smart for doing that. I've heard stories about accounts being frozen randomly. However, just FYI - you can transfer the money directly to your bank account through the Money Network app/website without having to physically withdraw cash first. No fees either way as long as you're transferring the full amount.

UPDATE: I got the app working! For anyone else looking - you need your card number, the expiration date, and you'll create a username/password. It shows my balance right on the main screen after logging in. Looks like I can also set up alerts for when deposits happen which is super helpful. Thank you all for the help! Going to look into that direct transfer option too.

Glad you got it working! The alerts are definitely useful - I have mine set to text me whenever there's any activity on the card. Peace of mind is worth a lot these days.

Just a heads up for everyone - if you're having trouble with the Money Network app or website, try clearing your browser cache/cookies or updating the app. I had issues logging in for weeks and it turned out to be a simple cache problem. Also, make sure you're using the correct Money Network site (moneynetwork.com) - there are some fake lookalike sites out there that will steal your info. Stay safe everyone!
