Founded in 1999 as a prepaid card issuer targeting unbanked and underbanked consumers via retail distribution, Green Dot obtained its own bank charter in 2011 via the Bonneville Bancorp acquisition — transforming from a card program manager into a licensed bank. The company subsequently evolved from a consumer-facing prepaid brand into a B2B embedded finance infrastructure provider, launching the Arc platform to offer Banking-as-a-Service to enterprise partners including Walmart, Amazon Flex, Intuit TurboTax, and Stripe Treasury. Today, Green Dot operates simultaneously as a direct consumer banking brand (GO2bank, GoBank) and as an infrastructure-layer sponsor bank and BaaS provider to large platform businesses, positioning payroll-linked direct deposit as its primary embedded finance entry point.
