Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Value Propositions

Seamless, single-source embedded finance solutions for B2B partners are delivered through the Arc by Green Dot platform, which combines secure banking and money processing capabilities.

The B2B Services segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $364.2M, representing a year-over-year rise of approximately 32%. For the same quarter, the B2B Services active accounts were up 13% year-over-year. Green Dot Corporation maintains full-year 2025 non-GAAP total operating revenues guidance between $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion. The company has an internal initiative, Project 30, designed to cut partner implementation time to 30 days.

Q3 2025 B2B Services Revenue	$364.2M	Three Months Ended September 30, 2025

Low-cost, accessible banking and payment tools are offered to the underbanked consumer through brands like GO2bank, a digital and mobile bank account.

• Consumer Services active accounts declined 5% year-over-year as of the second quarter of 2025.
• Consumer Services direct deposit active accounts were down 9% from the prior year as of the second quarter of 2025.
• As of the third quarter of 2025, Consumer Services active accounts were down 5% year-over-year.
• In the third quarter of 2025, Retail saw active accounts down 4% from the prior year.
• Consumer Services direct deposit active accounts were down 10% from the prior year in the third quarter of 2025.

Widespread cash deposit and withdrawal access is provided via the Green Dot Network (GDN), which has more than 95,000 retail distribution and cash access locations nationwide. This network ensures that 96% of the U.S. population is within three miles of a participating location. The integration with Stripe allows small business customers to make cash deposits at more than 50,000 Green Dot Network locations.

For cash deposit transactions, limits are enforced:

Cash Deposit Limit Type	Amount
Per Transaction (Most Retailers)	$500
Per Transaction (Walmart)	$1,000
Daily (rolling 24 hours)	$1,500
Weekly (rolling 7 days)	$3,500
Monthly (calendar 30 days)	$5,000
Retail Service Fee (Maximum)	$4.95

Fast, reliable disbursement solutions are offered through rapid!, which provides pay card and earned wage access (EWA) services to more than 6,000 businesses and their employees. As of late 2025, rapid! is trusted by more than 7,000 businesses. However, rapid! PayCard actives remained under pressure in the third quarter of 2025, and revenue for that division declined due to staffing industry pressures.

FDIC-insured accounts for consumers are made possible because Green Dot Bank is a member of the FDIC. Green Dot Corporation has managed more than 80 million accounts to date, both directly and through its partners.

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Relationships

You're looking at how Green Dot Corporation manages its diverse customer base, which spans direct-to-consumer mobile banking users to large, sophisticated Banking as a Service (BaaS) partners. The relationship model is intentionally segmented to match the needs of each group, so you won't see one-size-fits-all support here.

Automated and digital self-service is the core for the GO2bank mobile-first consumer base. This segment relies heavily on the app experience, which is designed to be hassle-free. For instance, GO2bank customers can get their pay up to 2 days early with direct deposit, a key feature driving digital engagement. Still, the retail footprint remains vital for cash access and top-ups. As of late 2025, the Green Dot Network (GDN) supports this with more than 95,000 retail distribution and cash access locations nationwide. The savings product within GO2bank offered a 4.50% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) as of December 2024, which is a concrete value proposition for this segment. Honestly, the digital experience is paramount, but the physical network underpins trust.

For large BaaS partners, the relationship shifts to dedicated account management and technical support. This high-value segment is driving significant growth, with B2B revenue projected for low-30% growth for the full year 2025. The B2B Services active accounts showed a 10% year-over-year increase as of the third quarter of 2025. Green Dot Corporation is actively onboarding new partners, including Stripe and Workday, which requires dedicated, high-touch support to ensure smooth integration. One major partner, Apple Inc., still accounts for about 50% of Green Dot's B2B services revenue, translating to roughly $500 million annually. This level of dependency necessitates white-glove service.

Retail-based customer service focuses on the foundational activities for the prepaid card business, specifically activation and reloads. While this segment faces headwinds, with retail active accounts falling 4% year-over-year in Q3 2025, the service model supports the existing user base and new financial service center partners. The company is working to moderate these declines, with segment projections still calling for low-double-digit declines in consumer services for the full year 2025. The sheer scale of the physical network supports these transactions.

The embedded finance clients, which overlap heavily with the BaaS partners, require high-touch compliance and regulatory support. This is crucial given Green Dot Corporation's status as a regulated bank holding company. A key operational focus here is 'Project 30,' an internal initiative designed to cut partner implementation time down to 30 days, showing a commitment to speed within a regulated framework. The tax division, Santa Barbara TPG, processes approximately 14 million tax refunds annually, which requires rigorous regulatory adherence in that specific vertical. The company had approximately $78 million in cash at the holding company as of September 30, 2025, which helps fund these critical compliance programs.

Here's a quick look at how these customer relationship tiers map to scale and performance metrics as of late 2025:

Metric Category	Specific Data Point	Value (as of late 2025)
GO2bank Consumer Base	Retail Active Accounts YoY Change (Q3)	-4%
GO2bank Consumer Base	Early Direct Deposit Feature	Up to 2 days early
BaaS Partner Scale	Key Partner Revenue Contribution (Apple)	Approx. $500 million annually
BaaS Partner Scale	B2B Active Accounts YoY Growth (Q3)	10%
Retail Network	Green Dot Network Locations	More than 95,000
Embedded Finance Efficiency	Project 30 Target Implementation Time	30 days

The overall 2025 financial outlook reflects this split focus, with full-year non-GAAP total operating revenues guided between $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion, and adjusted EBITDA expected between $165 million and $175 million. The rapid! wage and disbursements solutions support over 6,000 businesses, another example of the high-touch B2B relationship. If onboarding takes 14+ days, churn risk rises, which is why Project 30 is so important to the BaaS client retention defintely.

• GO2bank: Mobile-first, digital self-service focus.
• BaaS Partners: Dedicated account management for large clients.
• Retail Channel: Support for card activation and cash access.
• Embedded Finance: High-touch compliance and regulatory guidance.

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Channels

You're looking at how Green Dot Corporation gets its products and services into the hands of customers, which is a mix of physical locations and digital platforms. As of late 2025, the channel strategy is clearly bifurcated, with the B2B/Embedded Finance side showing strong growth while the direct-to-consumer retail channel is seeing moderation.

The physical footprint remains significant for cash-intensive users. Green Dot delivers services through the Green Dot Network (GDN), which comprises more than 95,000 retail distribution and cash access locations nationwide. This network is crucial for cash reloads and card sales, acting as quasi-branches. In the third quarter of 2025, active accounts within the Retail channel saw a decline of 4% year-over-year, though this rate of decline is notably more moderate than in prior years. To give you a sense of transaction flow, cash transfers to third-party accounts represented approximately 72% of total cash transfers in Q3 2025.

Digital channels are anchored by the GO2bank mobile app, Green Dot Corporation's flagship mobile bank account. This is the primary direct-to-consumer (D2C) path. However, the company moderated its marketing spend in recent quarters, leading to a contraction in this area. Consumer Services direct deposit active accounts were down 10% from the prior year in Q3 2025, making up about 25% of total active accounts in the Consumer Services segment. Overall, Green Dot Corporation has managed more than 80 million accounts to date, directly and via partners. For Q3 2025, the total number of active accounts across the board was 3.51 million.

The Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) integration, powered by the Arc by Green Dot platform, is a major growth driver. Revenue gains were primarily fueled by the B2B segment, which includes BaaS, showing growth from both new partner launches and expansion with existing ones. B2B Services revenue hit $364.2M, marking a 32% increase in Q3 2025. Active accounts within the B2B Services segment grew 13% in Q3 2025. Furthermore, interest income is becoming a more important contributor to earnings as deposits increase within the BaaS business.

For corporate solutions, the sales team focuses on B2B paycard and disbursement solutions. This segment provides pay card and earned wage access services to over 6,000 businesses and their employees. While the B2B segment overall is strong, the rapid! Paycard actives remain under pressure, with a projected full-year decline in the low double-digits.

Here is a quick look at the channel performance metrics as of the third quarter of 2025:

Channel Component	Metric Type	Value (Q3 2025)	Year-over-Year Change
Green Dot Network (GDN)	Retail Locations	More than 95,000	N/A
Consumer Services - Retail	Active Accounts	~75% of Consumer Actives (Implied)	Down 4%
Consumer Services - Direct (GO2bank)	Direct Deposit Active Accounts Share	~25% of Consumer Actives	Down 10%
B2B Services (Includes BaaS/Arc)	Revenue	$364.2M	Up 32%
B2B Services	Active Accounts	N/A	Up 13%
rapid! Paycard	Active Accounts	N/A	Under pressure (Projected full-year decline in low double-digits)

It's important to note the context: Green Dot Corporation announced in late November 2025 that it entered agreements to sell its nonbank fintech business to Smith Ventures for $690 million in cash, with the transaction expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. This pending transaction will significantly alter the D2C and BaaS channel structure going into 2026.

Finance: draft pro-forma channel revenue split for Q1 2026 based on the pending transaction by next Tuesday.

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Segments

You're looking at the core groups Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) serves, which are quite distinct across its various business lines. Honestly, the company segments its focus into direct-to-consumer banking, business services, and specialized money movement.

The foundational consumer base is the underbanked and paycheck-to-paycheck consumer. This group is primarily served through the flagship GO2bank mobile bank account and the legacy Green Dot prepaid cards. Green Dot Bank, which issues these products, has serviced more than 80 million accounts over the last 25 years, both directly and through partners.

For businesses, Green Dot Corporation targets two main areas:

• Large technology and FinTech companies looking for embedded finance solutions through Arc by Green Dot (the Banking as a Service or BaaS platform). Third-party volumes now account for approximately 70% of total transactions, showing the scale of their partner-driven business.
• Employers and businesses needing wage and disbursement solutions via the rapid! paycard offering, which provides pay card and earned wage access services to more than 6,000 businesses and their employees.

The Money Movement Services segment is heavily represented by taxpayers using refund transfer products processed by Santa Barbara TPG (SBTPG). This division processes approximately 14 million tax refunds annually.

Here's a quick look at the scale associated with these segments based on the latest available data context:

Customer Segment Focus Area	Product/Service	Key Metric/Volume
Underbanked/Paycheck-to-Paycheck Consumers	GO2bank, Prepaid Cards	More than 80 million total accounts managed to date
Taxpayers	SBTPG (Tax Division)	Processes more than 14 million tax refunds annually
Employers/Businesses (Wage & Disbursement)	rapid! paycard	Services more than 6,000 businesses
Technology/FinTech Partners (Embedded Finance)	Arc by Green Dot (BaaS)	Third-party volumes account for ~70% of total transactions
Retail Access Points	Green Dot Network (GDN)	More than 90,000 retail distribution and cash access locations nationwide

The Consumer Services segment, which includes GO2bank and legacy prepaid cards, is actively being managed, with a focus on building GO2bank from scratch in the direct channel while de-emphasizing older brands. The B2B Services segment, encompassing BaaS and rapid! paycard, has been a primary driver of revenue growth.

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Cost Structure

You're looking at the core expenditures Green Dot Corporation is managing to run its operations as of late 2025. The cost structure is heavily weighted toward transaction processing and personnel, but significant capital is also allocated to regulatory adherence and platform modernization.

Processing expenses, which were $285.317 million in Q1 2025, represent the largest single component of operating costs for Green Dot Corporation during that period. This figure reflects the costs inherent in facilitating the movement of money across its various platforms and networks. Also notable in that quarter was the outlay for Compensation and benefits for employees, totaling $66.214 million. Honestly, these two items alone make up the bulk of the direct operational spend.

Green Dot Corporation continues to make substantial outlays in areas critical for its regulated status and future competitiveness. Management noted in its Q3 2025 update that the outlook reflects ongoing investment in strategic initiatives and compliance programs. This is a non-negotiable cost in the fintech space; you can't run a bank without it.

Here's a quick look at the major operating expense components for the first quarter of 2025, based on the reported figures:

Expense Category	Q1 2025 Amount (in thousands)
Processing expenses	285,317
Compensation and benefits expenses	66,214
Other general and administrative expenses	86,910
Total operating expenses	498,129

The reliance on a vast physical footprint means costs are tied to maintaining the extensive retail distribution network, known as the Green Dot Network (GDN), which comprised over 90,000 retail access locations nationwide as of early 2025. While the company is pushing digital, that physical access point requires ongoing incentive and operational support. Furthermore, the unallocated corporate expenses, which cover fixed costs not directly tied to segments, include necessary spending on technology infrastructure and software development costs, such as software licenses.

Key cost drivers related to infrastructure and compliance include:

• Investment spending, which was noted as higher in Q3 2025 versus the prior year.
• Costs associated with operating in a highly regulated environment.
• Spending on new feature functionality and user experience planned for 2026.
• Expenses related to the process to evaluate strategic alternatives, which are often excluded from non-GAAP measures but still represent an organizational cost.

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) projects its full year non-GAAP total operating revenues for 2025 to be between $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion.

The revenue streams are diversified across consumer and business segments, with a strong reliance on fee-based income from card programs and a growing contribution from Banking as a Service (BaaS) partnerships. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the company reported total operating revenues of $558.874 million.

The composition of the revenue streams for the first quarter of 2025 is detailed below, showing the specific dollar amounts for key components:

Revenue Component	Q1 2025 Amount (in thousands)	Q1 2025 Amount (in millions)
Card revenues and other fees	$375,953	$375.953
Interchange revenues from card transactions	$113,373	$113.373
Interest income, net, from deposits and investments	$47,919	$47.919

The B2B Services segment, which houses the BaaS offering, is a significant contributor and the primary growth driver for that part of the business. For the first quarter of 2025, the B2B Services segment revenue was $342.0 million.

Key elements driving the BaaS revenue stream include:

• BaaS revenue from partners, which is the primary growth driver for the B2B segment.
• Growth from new partner launches, such as those with Samsung and Crypto.com mentioned in early 2025.
• Revenue growth from existing partners.
• The segment is expected to see growth in the upper 30% range for the full year 2025, driven by a key partner and the rest of the BaaS business.

The Q1 2025 GAAP operating revenues of $558,874 thousand were composed of the following line items:

Operating Revenue Line Item (Q1 2025)	Amount (in thousands)
Card revenues and other fees	$375,953
Interchange revenues	$113,373
Interest income, net	$47,919
Cash processing revenues (implied from total)	(Calculated by subtracting knowns from total)

To be fair, the Q1 2025 GAAP total operating revenues were $558,874 thousand, while the sum of the three specified revenue streams listed above is $375,953 + $113,373 + $47,919 = $537,245 thousand.
