Green Dot was founded in 1999 by Steven Streit as a prepaid debit card for online shopping. The company was private when it launched, but it went public worth up to 2 million dollars in 2010 after acquiring a company like Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, UniRush Financial Service, AccountNow, Loopt, and AchieveCard.
The company was stationed in California and is known as the world's largest market cap of prepaid debit cards. Green Dot is an American financial and technology-based corporation used to make payments for Apple Pay Cash, Uber, and Intuit.
Over the years, the company co-branded Walmart, AT&T, Citibank, Boost Mobile program card, and set up Unlimited Cash Bank. It offers 3 percent cash back, savings account, and interest for an Unlimited cashback account as well.
The debit card offered by Green Dot isn't a line of credit as it makes a deduction on store-bought purchases. It allows the users to add money to the card from the retail store's point of sale or through a paycheck.
