“Cash access remains critical for a significant percentage of Americans, and expanding access for these groups is key to our mission to give all people the power to bank seamlessly, affordably and with confidence”

“Cash access remains critical for a significant percentage of Americans, and expanding access for these groups is key to our mission to give all people the power to bank seamlessly, affordably and with confidence,” said Jamison Jaworski, GM-SVP of Retail and the Green Dot Network at Green Dot. “We’re proud to partner with these companies and help them empower their customers with better access to the financial services they need.”

Green Dot grew its list of network partners to include bill pay companies, earned wage access providers and neobanks focused on serving underserved minority groups that tend to be significantly more dependent on cash than average consumers. This is particularly true for the “unbanked” and “underbanked” where Black Americans (40 percent) and Hispanic Americans (30 percent) drastically outnumber White Americans (12 percent)1. Cash payments make up 60 percent of payments by unbanked consumers (compared to 20 percent of banked consumers), making cash access critical for these and other cash-preferred consumers.2 Recent additions to the Green Dot Network include:

Bill Pay Leaders Modernizing Payments for Cash-Preferred, Unbanked and Underbanked Consumers

  • Paymentus – Paymentus, rated the best-in-class electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP) provider by Aite-Novarica3, is modernizing how consumers manage and pay bills (and driving on-time payments for billers).

Companies Transforming Human Resources Management with Earned Wage Access

  • DailyPay – DailyPay’s platform gives employees access to their earnings in real time and changes the way money moves between employer and employee with earned wage access.
