GREEN DOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1— Organization
Green Dot Corporation (“we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Green Dot Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a financial technology platform and registered bank holding company that builds banking and payment solutions to create value, retain and reward customers, and accelerate growth for businesses of all sizes. For more than two decades, we have delivered financial tools and services that address the most pressing financial needs of consumers and businesses, and that transform the way people and businesses manage and move money. Through Green Dot Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary, we deliver a broad spectrum of financial products to consumers and businesses through our portfolio of brands, including debit, checking, credit, prepaid, and payroll cards, as well as robust money processing services, such as tax refunds, cash deposits and disbursements.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1999 and became a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act and Green Dot Bank became a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in December 2011.
Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. We consolidated our wholly-owned subsidiaries and eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
We have also prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, consequently, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP. Reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional disclosures, including a summary of our significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to our previously disclosed significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available as of March 31, 2025 and through the date of this report. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as our operating environment changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to a variety of factors, including those identified under Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2025, which will expand our disclosures beginning with our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, but will not have an impact on our consolidated financial results.
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, " which requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Note 3— Revenues
As discussed in Note 19 — Segment Informatio n, we determine our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker manages our operations, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. Within our segments, we believe that the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows and how they are affected by economic factors can be further illustrated based on the timing in which revenue for each of our products and services is recognized. Our products and services are only offered to customers within the United States and certain U.S. territories. The following tables disaggregate our revenues earned from external customers by each of our reportable segments:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Operating revenues (1)
$ 98,007 $ 234,441 $ 106,829 $ 439,277
(1) Excludes net interest income, a component of total operating revenues, as it is outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenues. Also excludes the effects of inter-segment revenues.
Revenues recognized at a point in time are comprised of interchange fees, ATM fees, overdraft protection fees, other similar accountholder transaction-based fees, and substantially all of our cash processing revenues. Revenues recognized over time consists of new card fees, monthly maintenance fees, revenue earned from gift cards and substantially all BaaS (as defined herein) partner program management service fees.
As presented on our consolidated balance sheets, we record deferred revenue for any upfront payments received in advance of our performance obligations being satisfied. These contract liabilities consist principally of unearned new card fees and monthly maintenance fees. We recognized approximately $ 2.3 million and $ 2.9 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that were included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods and did not recognize any revenue during these periods from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Substantially all of the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods are recognized in the first half of each year. Changes in the deferred revenue balance are driven primarily by the amount of new card fees recognized during the period, and the degree to which these reductions to the deferred revenue balance are offset by the deferral of new card fees associated with cards sold during the period.

Our investments generally consist of highly rated securities, substantially all of which are directly or indirectly backed by the U.S. federal government, as our investment policy restricts our investments to highly liquid, low credit risk assets. As such, we have not recorded any credit-related impairment loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024 on our available-for-sale investment securities. Unrealized losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are the result of increases in interest rates relative to when they were purchased as our investment portfolio is comprised predominantly of fixed rate securities. Substantially all of the underlying securities within our investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the timing of our investment purchases, as a significant portion of our investments were purchased prior to increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and general volatility in market conditions.
Except as disclosed below, we do not currently intend to sell our remaining investments, and we have determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell our investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

Note 4—Investment Securities (continued)
In April 2025, we sold certain available-for-sales securities in order to reposition the proceeds into higher yielding assets. As a result, we recorded a realized loss of $ 24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 because we no longer had the intent to hold the securities until recovery of their amortized cost bases. The losses were recorded as a reduction of the amortized cost basis for each security and are reflected as a component of other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations.
As of March 31, 2025, the contractual maturities of our available-for-sale investment securities were as follows:
Amortized cost Fair value
(In thousands)
Due in one year or less $ 102,067 $ 102,037
Due after one year through five years 86,247 80,042

We offer an optional overdraft protection program service on certain demand deposit account programs that allows customers who opt-in and meet certain criteria to spend up to a pre-authorized amount in excess of their available account balance. When overdrawn, the purchase related balances due on these deposit accounts are reclassified as consumer loans. Fees due from our accountholders for our overdraft service are included as a component of accounts receivable. Overdrawn balances are unsecured and considered immediately due from the customer. Also included in consumer loans are advances made to taxpayers under our tax advance program. These loan balances generally fluctuate over the first half of each year due to the seasonal nature of these advances.
A portion of our secured credit card portfolio is classified as loans held for sale. These loans are included in the long-term portion of prepaid and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in valuation allowances are recorded as a component of other income and expenses on our consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the loans held for sale amounted to approximately $ 3.6 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
We closely monitor and assess the credit quality and credit risk of our loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. We continuously review and update loan risk classifications. We evaluate our loans using non-classified or classified as the primary credit quality indicator. Classified loans include those designated as substandard, doubtful, or loss, consistent with regulatory guidelines. Secured credit card loans are considered classified if they are greater than 90 days past due. However, our secured credit card portfolio is collateralized by cash deposits made by each accountholder in an amount equal to the user's available credit limit, which mitigates the risk of any significant credit losses we expect to incur.
The table below presents the carrying value, gross of the related allowance for credit losses, of our loans within the primary credit quality indicators related to our loan portfolio:

Note 7— Equity Method Investments
On January 2, 2020, we effectuated our agreement with Walmart to jointly establish a new fintech accelerator under the name TailFin Labs, LLC (“TailFin”), with a mission to develop innovative products, services and technologies that sit at the intersection of retail shopping and consumer financial services. The entity is majority-owned by Walmart and was formed with a focus on developing tech-enabled solutions to integrate omni-channel retail shopping and financial services. We hold a 20 % ownership interest in the entity, in exchange for annual capital contributions of $ 35.0 million per year from January 2020 through January 2024. Our final payment under this commitment was made in January 2024.
We account for our investment in TailFin under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recorded at cost and the investment is subsequently adjusted for, among other things, its proportionate share of earnings or losses. However, given the capital structure of the TailFin arrangement, we apply the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value ("HLBV") method to determine the allocation of profits and losses since our liquidation rights and priorities, as defined by the agreement, differ from our underlying ownership interest. The HLBV method calculates the proceeds that would be attributable to each partner in an investment based on the liquidation provisions of the agreement if the partnership was to be liquidated at book value as of the balance sheet date. Each partner’s allocation of income or loss in the period is equal to the change in the amount of net equity they are legally able to claim based on a hypothetical liquidation of the entity at the end of a reporting period compared to the beginning of that period, adjusted for any capital transactions. Based on the terms of the agreement and under the HLBV method, we are entitled to 20 % of any net profits, but assume 100 % of any net losses.

Note 7—Equity Method Investments (continued)
Since inception, TailFin has incurred operating expenses but has not generated any operating revenues to date. Use of capital has been primarily allocated to marketing of Walmart's deposit account program and for employee salaries and other professional services focused on developing TailFin's project initiatives. While TailFin's overall objectives have remained unchanged, it is uncertain whether any new products or services will be successfully introduced through the venture. Any future economic benefits derived from products or services developed by TailFin will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the parties.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our net investment in TailFin amounted to approximately $ 125.6 million and $ 128.4 million, respectively, and is included in the long-term portion of prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Based on the terms of the agreement, we recorded equity in losses attributable to TailFin of approximately $ 2.8 million and $ 3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a component of other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9— Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
In 2024 and 2025, we issued and sold senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $ 65 million, including $ 15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Notes have a five-year term, maturing September 15, 2029. The principal amounts bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.75 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears.
Prior to March 15, 2029, we may redeem at our option, the Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the outstanding principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus a make-whole amount. On and after March 15, 2029, we may redeem the Notes at 100 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
The Notes are unsecured, senior obligations and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The Notes are junior in right of payment to existing and future secured indebtedness. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all affirmative and negative non-financial covenants thereunder. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility discussed below, and for general corporate purposes.
The following table provides the outstanding long-term debt balance, at amortized cost:

Senior unsecured notes $ 65,000 $ 50,000
Less: Unamortized discount and issuance costs ( 1,758 ) ( 1,474 )
Notes payable, net of unamortized discount and issuance costs $ 63,242 $ 48,526
2025 Revolving Facility
In February 2025, we entered into a new revolving line of credit agreement with a financial institution up to a maximum principal amount of $ 20 million, subject to borrowing base limitations defined under the terms of the agreement. The line of credit matures in August 2026 and will bear interest at variable market rates, but subject to a minimum rate of 6.0 % per annum. Interest payments are due monthly, and accrue based on the then-outstanding principal balance. We had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.
2019 Revolving Facility
In October 2019, we entered into a secured credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other lenders party thereto. The credit agreement provided for a $ 100.0 million five-year revolving line of credit (the "2019 Revolving Facility"), which matured in October 2024. In September 2024, the then-outstanding balance on the 2019 Revolving Facility was repaid in full, and the 2019 Revolving Facility terminated at its maturity date.
We incurred total cash interest expense on our debt during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of approximately $ 1.2 million and $ 1.4 million, respectively.

Note 10— Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, treating the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period to calculate our interim income tax provision, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, " Income Taxes – Interim Reporting ." We determined we could not use the estimated annual effective tax rate method as we could not calculate a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate due to it being highly sensitive to minor changes in our forecasted amounts, thus generating significant variability in the estimated annual effective tax rate and distorting the customary relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax income in interim periods.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2025 2024
U.S. federal statutory tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 %
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 3.4 ( 1.4 )
Foreign tax rate differential ( 0.2 ) ( 1.5 )
General business credits ( 1.1 ) ( 11.5 )
IRC 162(m) limitation ( 2.9 ) ( 3.6 )
Stock-based compensation 3.8 22.7
Bank owned life insurance income ( 1.0 ) ( 2.9 )
Bank owned life insurance surrender — 9.3
Nondeductible expenses 0.3 2.6
Other 0.1 0.1
Effective tax rate 23.4 % 34.8 %
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal tax benefits, general business credits, stock-based compensation, nondeductible expenses, cash surrender value growth in bank owned life insurance policies, and the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation. The net decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year comparable period was due to several factors, including a decrease of $ 0.7 million in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the IRC 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, a $ 0.3 million decrease in tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation, a $ 0.1 million decrease in tax expense due to nondeductible expenses, a decrease of $ 0.7 million related to our bank owned life insurance surrender penalties we incurred in connection with the surrender and restructuring of our existing bank owned life insurance policies completed in 2024, and the impact of general business credits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $ 1.3 million in state income taxes, net of federal benefits.
We have made a policy election to account for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") in the year the GILTI tax is incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the provision for GILTI tax expense was not material to our financial statements.
We establish a valuation allowance when we consider it more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2025, we have a valuation allowance recorded against a portion of our unrealized loss on equity securities as we believe it is more-likely-than-not that the tax benefits related to this portion of the loss will not be realized. As of March 31, 2024, we did no t have a valuation allowance on any of our deferred tax assets as we believed it was more-likely-than-not that we would realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets.
We are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and various state tax authorities. We remain subject to examination of our federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2017 through 2024. We generally remain subject to examination of our various state income tax returns for a period of four to five years from the respective dates that the returns were filed. The IRS initiated an examination of our 2017 U.S. federal tax return during the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, and the examination remains ongoing as of March 31, 2025. We do not expect that this examination will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 10—Income Taxes (continued)
As of March 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 11.1 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 120.1 million, and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $ 0.1 million which will be available to offset future income. If not used, the federal net operating losses will expire between 2030 and 2034. Of our total state net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $ 62.6 million will expire between 2028 and 2044, while the remaining balance of approximately $ 57.5 million does not expire and carries forward indefinitely. The capital loss carryforwards will expire in 2028. The net operating losses are subject to an annual IRC Section 382 limitation, which restricts their utilization against taxable income in future periods. In addition, we have state business tax credits of approximately $ 22.7 million that can be carried forward indefinitely and other state business tax credits of approximately $ 0.3 million that will begin expiring on December 31, 2025 and continue to expire through December 31, 2027.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a liability of $ 13.9 million and $ 12.5 million, respectively, for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters excluding interest, penalties and related tax benefits.

There were no repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Note 12— Stock-Based Compensation
We currently grant restricted stock unit awards to employees, directors and non-employee consultants under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and from time to time may also grant stock option awards. Through our 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, employees are also able to purchase shares of our Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. We have reserved shares of our Class A common stock for issuance under these plans. The total stock-based compensation expense recognized was $ 3.0 million and $ 8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 14— Fair Value Measurements
Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
We determine the fair values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established under applicable accounting guidance, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value.
For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy and how we measure fair value, see Note 2–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Note 15— Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following describes the valuation technique for determining the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not such instruments are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets.
Short-term Financial Instruments
Our short-term financial instruments consist principally of unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents, settlement assets and obligations, and obligations to customers . These financial instruments are short-term in nature, and, accordingly, we believe their carrying amounts approximate their fair values. Under the fair value hierarchy, these instruments are classified as Level 1.
Investment Securities
The fair values of investment securities have been derived using methodologies referenced in Note 2–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 . Under the fair value hierarchy, our investment securities are classified as Level 2.
Loans
We determined the fair values of loans by discounting both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected using a discount rate commensurate with the risk that we believe a market participant would consider in determining fair value. Under the fair value hierarchy, our loans are classified as Level 3.
Deposits
The fair value of demand and interest checking deposits and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We determined the fair value of time deposits by discounting expected future cash flows using market-derived rates based on our market yields on certificates of deposit, by maturity, at the measurement date. Under the fair value hierarchy, our deposits are classified as Level 2.
Debt
The fair value of the Notes is based on borrowing rates currently available to a market participant for loans with similar terms, maturity and credit risk. The carrying amount of our outstanding Notes at March 31, 2025 approximates fair value because the interest rate charged is commensurate with current market rates for issuers of similar risk. The fair value of the Notes are classified as a Level 2 liability in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values and fair values of certain financial instruments that were not carried at fair value, excluding short-term financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates fair value, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented in the table below.

Note 16— Leases
Our leases consist of operating lease agreements principally related to our subsidiary office locations. Currently, we do not enter into any financing lease agreements. Our leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 2 years to 8 years, most of which generally include renewal options of varying terms.
Our total lease expense amounted to approximately $ 0.9 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Our lease expense is generally based on fixed payments stated within the agreements. Any variable payments for non-lease components and other short term lease expenses are not considered material.

Note 17— Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various legal proceedings, including, from time to time, regulatory, supervisory, and governmental matters as well as actions which are asserted to be maintainable as class action suits, employment claims, and or enforcement actions. We review these actions on an ongoing basis to determine whether it is probable and estimable that a loss has occurred and use that information when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We have provided reserves where necessary for all claims and, based on current knowledge and in part upon the advice of legal counsel, all matters are believed to be adequately covered by insurance, or, if not covered, would not be likely to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Nonetheless, given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, an adverse outcome could, from time to time, have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Other Litigation and Claims
On December 18, 2019, an alleged class action entitled Koffsmon v. Green Dot Corp., et al. , No. 19-cv-10701-DDP-E, was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, against us and two of our former officers. The suit asserts purported claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly misleading statements regarding our business strategy. Plaintiff alleges that defendants made statements that were misleading because they allegedly failed to disclose details regarding our customer acquisition strategy and its impact on our financial performance. The suit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our securities between May 9, 2018 and November 7, 2019, and seeks compensatory damages, fees and costs. On October 6, 2021, the Court appointed the New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc.

Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
On February 18, 2020, a putative shareholder derivative action entitled Hellman v. Streit, et al. , No. 20-cv-01572-SVW-PVC was filed, purportedly on behalf of the company, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, against certain of our current and former officers and directors. The suit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, as well as claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, based largely on the allegations made in the Koffsmon action. The Hellman action seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the company. Pursuant to a stipulated agreement between the parties, the Hellman action is stayed through the close of discovery in the Koffsmon action.
On July 15, 2024, a putative shareholder derivative action entitled DiBlasio v. Streit, et al. , No. 24-cv-05924 was filed, purportedly on behalf of the company, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, against certain of our current and former officers and directors. A first amended complaint was filed on September 27, 2024. The suit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, and unjust enrichment, as well as claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, based on the allegations made in Koffsmon action, and on the Consent Order from the Federal Reserve Board. The DiBlasio action seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the company. Pursuant to a stipulated agreement between the parties, the DiBlasio action is stayed through the close of discovery in the Koffsmon action.
Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of these matters. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of these claims, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of these actions or the range of reasonably possible losses, if any, or the impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, except as disclosed.
Other Legal Matters
We monitor the laws of all 50 states to identify state laws or regulations that apply (or may apply) to our products and services. We have obtained money transmitter licenses (or similar such licenses) where applicable, based on advice of counsel or when we have been requested to do so. If we were found to be in violation of any laws and regulations governing banking, money transmitters, electronic fund transfers, or money laundering in the United States or abroad, we could be subject to penalties or could be forced to change our business practices.
From time to time, we enter into contracts containing provisions that contingently require us to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) contracts with our card issuing banks, under which we are responsible to them for any unrecovered overdrafts on accountholders’ balances; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from our use of the premises; (iii) certain agreements with our officers, directors, and employees, under which we may be required to indemnify these persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with us; and (iv) contracts under which we may be required to indemnify our retail distributors, suppliers, vendors and other parties with whom we have contracts against claims arising from certain of our actions, omissions, violations of law and/or infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and/or other intellectual property rights.
Generally, a maximum obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts associated with these types of agreements are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. With the exception of overdrafts on accountholders’ balances, historically, we have not been required to make payments under these and similar contingent obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations in our consolidated balance sheets. For additional information regarding overdrafts on accountholders’ balances, refer to Note 5 — Accounts Receivable.

Note 18— Significant Retailer and Partner Concentration
A credit concentration may exist if customers are involved in similar industries, economic sectors, and geographic regions. Our retail distributors operate in similar economic sectors, but diverse domestic geographic regions. The loss of a significant retail distributor could have a material adverse effect upon our card sales, profitability, and revenue growth.
Revenues derived from our products sold at retail distributors constituting at least 10% of our total operating revenues were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2025 2024
Walmart 7 % 10 %
In addition, approximately 56 % and 46 % of our total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were generated from a single BaaS partner, but without a corresponding concentration to our gross profit for the respective periods.
Note 19— Segment Information
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (our “CODM” who is our Chief Executive Officer) organizes and manages our businesses primarily on the basis of the channels in which our product and services are offered and uses net revenue and segment profit to assess profitability, segment performance and allocate resources. Segment profit reflects each segment's net revenue less direct costs, such as sales and marketing expenses, processing expenses, transaction losses and fraud management, and customer support and related expenses. Our operations are aggregated amongst three reportable segments: 1) Consumer Services, 2) Business to Business ("B2B") Services, and 3) Money Movement Services.
Our Consumer Services segment consists of revenues and expenses derived from deposit account programs, such as consumer checking accounts, prepaid cards, secured credit cards, and gift cards that we offer to consumers (i) through distribution arrangements with more than 90,000 retail locations and thousands of neighborhood Financial Service Center locations (the "Retail channel"), and (ii) directly through various marketing channels, such as online search engine optimization, online displays, direct mail campaigns, mobile advertising, and affiliate referral programs (the "Direct channel").
Our B2B Services segment consists of revenues and expenses derived from (i) our partnerships with prominent consumer and technology companies that make our banking products and services available to their consumers, partners and workforce through integration with our banking platform (the "Banking-as-a-Service", or "BaaS channel"), and (ii) a comprehensive payroll platform that we offer to corporate enterprises (the "Employer channel") to facilitate payments for today’s workforce. Our products and services in this segment include deposit account programs, such as consumer and small business checking accounts and prepaid cards, as well as our disbursement services utilized by our partners.
Our Money Movement Services segment consists of revenues and expenses generated on a per transaction basis from our services that specialize in facilitating the movement of cash on behalf of consumers and businesses, such as money processing services and tax refund processing services. Our money processing services, such as cash deposit and disbursements, are marketed to third-party banks, program managers, and other companies seeking cash deposit and disbursement capabilities for their customers. Those customers, including our own accountholders, can access our cash deposit and disbursement services at any of the locations within our network of retail distributors and neighborhood Financial Service Centers. We market our tax-related financial services through a network of tax preparation franchises, independent tax professionals and online tax preparation providers.
Our Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of net interest income, certain other investment income earned by our bank, interest profit sharing arrangements with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue), eliminations of inter-segment revenues and expenses, and unallocated corporate expenses, which include our fixed expenses such as salaries, wages and related benefits for our employees and certain third-party contractors, professional services fees, software licenses, telephone and communication costs, rent, utilities, and insurance. These costs are not considered when our CODM evaluates the performance of our three reportable segments since they are not directly attributable to any reporting segment. Non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, impairment charges, and other non-recurring expenses that are not considered by our CODM when evaluating our overall consolidated financial results are excluded from our

Note 20— Subsequent Event
On April 29, 2025, we entered into an amendment which provides for us to continue serving as the issuing bank and program manager for the Walmart MoneyCard suite of reloadable debit card products, and entered into additional amendments pursuant to which we distribute our various products and services, including certain Green Dot-branded products and reload services through the Green Dot Network, at Walmart stores (collectively, the “Agreements”). The amended term of the Agreements expires on January 31, 2033, subject to an automatic one-year renewal provision under the terms of the arrangements. In consideration of the amended Agreements, we and the assignee of Walmart Inc. and its subsidiary parties, RNBW Ventures Inc., (“RNBW”), agreed to cause TailFin to pay RNBW a one-time, non-refundable incentive payment in the amount of $ 70 million, which we anticipate will be reflected as a component of equity in losses attributable to TailFin during the second quarter of 2025.
