“We are excited to partner with Green Dot Corporation to introduce embedded financial solutions that will redefine the remittance experience. This collaboration offers seamless access, enhanced security, and full control over funds, empowering users to send, receive, and manage money with greater convenience and flexibility,” said Omar Coss, Digital Products Director, DolFinTech. “With direct deposit accounts and card issuance, recipients can instantly access their funds, make purchases, pay bills, or withdraw cash—without intermediaries or delays. This innovation transforms cross-border payments into a truly borderless experience, fostering financial inclusion for millions worldwide.”
The demand for alternative financial services remains significant in the U.S., with 4.5% of households unbanked and another 14.1% underbanked—meaning they have a bank account but still rely on nonbank financial services—according to the FDIC’s National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households. For the tens of millions of Americans in these categories, many of whom depend on DolFinTech financial service centers for convenient money management, the introduction of the new DDA account powered by Arc by Green Dot offers a seamless, affordable, and practical financial solution to our combined LMI customers.
“Our shared LMI customers need banking options and value, convenience and flexibility in managing their finances,” said Jamison Jaworski, GM/SVP, Consumer Division, Green Dot. “By leveraging Arc, DolFinTech can now provide a modern, comprehensive digital banking experience that simplifies financial management with convenient tools to bridge gaps in traditional financial services.
