All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “endeavors,” “strives,” “may” and “assumes,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including inflation and interest rate trends and impacts and other macro-economic impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition and governmental and our responses to such events, including those identified below, under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason. In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, “Green Dot,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Green Dot Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Overview Green Dot Corporation is a financial technology platform and registered bank holding company ("BHC") 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. 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 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. 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 that are not considered when our CODM evaluates the performance of our three reportable segments are recorded in Corporate and Other expenses. Refer to our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K "Part I, Item 1. Business" for more detailed information about our operations and Note 19—Segment Information in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Recent Developments In March 2025, we announced that we had initiated a process to explore potential strategic alternatives. No assurances can be given as to the outcome or timing of the strategic review process, including without limitation that such process will result in a transaction or that any transaction, if pursued, will be successfully completed. We do not intend to disclose further developments regarding the process unless and until it is determined that further disclosure is appropriate. We also announced in March 2025 the commencement of a CEO transition process, pursuant to which George Gresham ceased serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a member of our Board of Directors, and William I Jacobs, our Chairperson of the Board, was appointed to serve as our interim Chief Executive Officer, and Chris Ruppel, our Chief Revenue Officer, was appointed to serve as our interim President. 25 Table of Contents Consolidated Financial Results and Trends Our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In thousands, except percentages) Total operating revenues $ 558,874 $ 451,988 $ 106,886 23.6 % Total operating expenses 498,129 441,434 56,695 12.8 % Net income 25,773 4,750 21,023 442.6 % Refer to "Segment Results" below for a summary of financial results of each of our reportable segments. Total operating revenues Our total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $106.9 million or 24%, over the prior year comparable period, driven primarily by higher revenues in our B2B Services segment and to a lesser extent in our Money Movement Services segment, partially offset by lower revenues earned in our Consumer Services segment. Continued growth of certain BaaS partner programs generated an increase in our total gross dollar volume and number of consolidated active accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of 21% and 2%, respectively, which increased our total operating revenues year-over-year. However, as discussed below, our total operating revenues were negatively impacted by unfavorable trends and factors in our deposit account programs, driving, among other things, a reduction of approximately 3% to each of our purchase volume and number of cash transfers for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. In our Consumer Services segment, revenues decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 5% from the prior year comparable period. Our gross dollar volume and purchase volume each declined by 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the number of active accounts and direct deposit accounts declined by 7% and 11%, respectively. We believe these decreases in our Consumer Services segment are attributable to several factors, including macro-economic factors affecting consumer behavior and other competitive trends that have impacted acquisition at retail locations, and the non-renewal of one of our retail partner programs in a prior period. These factors had a corresponding impact on the amount of accountholder fee revenue we earn from accounts, including monthly maintenance fees, ATM fees and interchange fees. Revenues within this segment were also adversely impacted by a decrease in breakage revenue on our gift card portfolios for the comparable period. In our B2B Services segment, revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 42% over the prior year comparable period. The increase was driven by strong year-over-year growth in our gross dollar volume, which increased by 26%, and to a lesser extent, growth in purchase volume, which increased by 3%, and the number of active accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which increased by 13%. The growth in gross dollar volume was driven primarily by certain BaaS programs that do not generate interchange fees and resulted in a net increase in segment revenue due to higher program management service fees earned from these BaaS partners. In our Money Movement Services segment, revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 7% from the prior year comparable period. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by an increase in our tax processing revenues. Although the number of tax refunds processed decreased by 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, our tax processing revenues increased due to the expansion of our taxpayer advance programs and a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed. The decrease in the number of tax refunds processed is principally attributable to our online tax preparation partners. The increase in tax processing revenues was partially offset by a 3% decline in the number of cash transfers processed for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year comparable period. The decline in the number of cash transfers processed was due to a lower number of active accounts within our Consumer Services segment discussed above. The Green Dot Network is a service provider to accountholders in both our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, as well as third-party programs. We continued to experience an increase in the number of cash transfers processed for third-party programs, which has grown steadily on a year-over-year basis, and represented the majority of our total cash transfers as of March 31, 2025. Revenues within our Corporate and Other segment were driven primarily by net interest income earned by Green Dot Bank, which increased by 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, over the prior year comparable period. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of an increase in cash from deposit programs with our partners and yields earned at the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an increase in interest shared with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue). 26 Table of Contents Total operating expenses Our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $56.7 million, or 13%, over the prior year comparable period. The increase in our total operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in processing expenses within our B2B Services segment, partially offset by a decrease in other general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses and to a lesser extent, a decrease in compensation and benefits expenses, each as discussed in more detail below. The increase in our processing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven primarily by the growth in gross dollar volume associated with certain BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment discussed above. This increase was partially offset by lower other general and administrative expenses, which decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in overall transaction losses attributable to lower customer dispute volume across our portfolios and favorable reductions in our dispute loss rates, the settlement payment and impairment charges related to the termination of our partnership agreement to develop a new core banking system that were incurred in the first quarter of 2024 that did not recur in the current period, and lower professional services fees related to our anti-money laundering ("AML") programs, due to the completion of certain initiatives. Our sales and marketing expenses also decreased, principally due to a decrease in revenue-sharing arrangements in our tax processing business, partially offset by an increase in sales commissions from higher revenues on products subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements in our Consumer Services segment. To a lesser extent, total operating expenses decreased due to a decrease in compensation and benefits expenses, driven primarily by a decrease in employee stock-based compensation due to forfeitures of awards from certain employees and severance benefits not recurring at the same magnitude in the current period as a result of our reduction in employee workforce in the comparable prior year period, partially offset by an increase in third-party call center support costs associated with the growth of the BaaS account programs discussed above. Income taxes Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $5.3 million, or 211%, from the prior year comparable period primarily due to an increase in our pre-taxable income, partially offset by a decrease in our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 23.4%, a decrease from 34.8% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due to several factors, including the impact of general business credits, tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, a decrease in tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation, a decrease in tax expense from nondeductible expenses, a reduction in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and a reduction of the incremental taxes and penalties ("surrender penalties") we incurred in connection with the surrender and restructuring of our existing bank owned life insurance policies completed in 2024. These decreases in our effective tax rate were partially offset by an increase in state income taxes expense, net of federal benefits. In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") released model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations ("Pillar Two"). Certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation consistent with the OECD model rules effective beginning in 2024. We are monitoring legislative developments and continuing to evaluate the potential impact of Pillar Two on our consolidated financial statements, but do not expect it will have a material impact on our results of operations in future periods. Outlook and Other Trends Affecting Our Business While we are still experiencing a difficult macro-economic environment, competitive headwinds and other factors that have contributed to declining trends in our consolidated operating results in recent periods, excluding any impact from our strategic review process, we expect our results of operations will stabilize on a year-over-year basis in 2025 based on our anticipated initiatives and cost reduction measures we have implemented. We intend to continue to make growth-oriented investments and incur other expenditures that we believe will benefit our long-term financial results. Our growth-oriented investments are focused on, among other things, accelerating our ability to onboard new partners in our B2B Services and Money Movement segments, adding new features and functionality to our Arc platform, cost-effectively re-engaging in strategic marketing initiatives in support of our GO2bank product and other initiatives across our account programs with the objective of returning to active account growth. We have seen reductions in our processing expenses from our processor conversion and expect the implementation of our card management platform will allow us to continue to realize reductions in our processing expenses as we seek to expand account programs. In March 2025, we also initiated a re-alignment of teams and 27 Table of Contents resources across the enterprise in a continual effort to better support our strategic priorities and growth channels, and to improve our operating efficiency. We expect this re-alignment to further improve our cost structure year-over-year. Despite the meaningful reductions to our cost structure we have achieved across our organization through our various initiatives, we are incurring increased expenses in other areas as we conduct our strategic review process, incur or accrue for additional retention and interim officer compensation expenses and incur additional expenses in connection with our ongoing investments in our AML program, including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures. We believe investments in our AML program will ultimately help us to continue to remediate matters identified in the Consent Order from the previous year, reduce our fraud losses over the long term and cost-efficiently scale our compliance and regulatory programs as we look to grow our business. In September 2024, the Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by 50 basis points, the first rate cut in over four years, and further reduced interest rates by an additional 50 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2024. The Federal Reserve's decision-making policies for short-term interest rates will continue to impact the amount of net interest income we earn in the future. In general, while higher short-term interest rates benefit the yield we earn on our cash, certain of our BaaS partner arrangements allow for the BaaS partner to share in a significant portion of the interest earned from accountholder deposits (which are recorded as a reduction of revenue in our consolidated financial statements), and yields on our investment portfolio tend to lag interest rate increases as securities mature and proceeds are reinvested. Accordingly, the net effect has had and we expect will continue to have a negative impact on our consolidated financial statements and will be dependent upon future interest rate changes enacted by the Federal Reserve. However, we are also beginning to shift a portion of our investment securities portfolio into variable rate debt securities to improve net yields and balance the effect of our interest sharing arrangements with BaaS partners. Further, the duration and magnitude of the continuing effects of macro-economic factors remain uncertain and dependent on various factors outside of our control. See Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," for an additional discussion of risks related to macro-economic factors. 28 Table of Contents Consolidated Key Metrics We review a number of metrics to help us monitor the performance of, and identify trends affecting, our business. We believe the following measures are the primary indicators of our quarterly and annual revenues: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In millions, except percentages) Gross dollar volume $ 37,252 $ 30,755 $ 6,497 21.1 % Number of active accounts* 3.58 3.51 0.07 2.0 % Purchase volume $ 5,113 $ 5,274 $ (161) (3.1) % Number of cash transfers 7.51 7.77 (0.26) (3.3) % Number of tax refunds processed 7.98 9.28 (1.3) (14.0) % * Represents the number of active accounts as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See “Segment Results” for additional information and discussion regarding key metrics performance by segment. The definitions of our key metrics are as follows: Gross Dollar Volume — Represents the total dollar volume of funds loaded to our account products from direct deposit and non-direct deposit sources. A substantial portion of our gross dollar volume is generated from direct deposit sources. We use this metric to analyze the total amount of money moving onto our account programs, and to determine the overall engagement and usage patterns of our accountholder base. This metric also serves as a leading indicator of revenue generated through our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, inclusive of fees charged to accountholders and interchange revenues generated through the spending of account balances. Number of Active Accounts — Represents any bank account within our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 compliance and, therefore, requires customer identity verification prior to use and is intended to accept ongoing customer cash or ACH deposits. This metric includes checking accounts, general purpose reloadable prepaid card accounts, and secured credit card accounts in our portfolio that had at least one purchase, deposit or ATM withdrawal transaction during the applicable quarter. We use this metric to analyze the overall size of our active customer base and to analyze multiple metrics expressed as an average across this active account base. Our direct deposit active accounts within our Consumer Services segment, on average, have the longest tenure and generate the majority of our gross dollar volume in any period and thus, generate more revenue over their lifetime than other active accounts. Refer to sub-section entitled Consumer Services under “Segment Results” below for key metric results for direct deposit active accounts. Purchase Volume — Represents the total dollar volume of purchase transactions made by our accountholders. This metric excludes the dollar volume of ATM withdrawals and volume generated by certain BaaS programs where the BaaS partner receives interchange fees and we earn a program management service fee. We use this metric to analyze interchange revenue, which is a key component of our financial performance. Number of Cash Transfers — Represents the total number of cash transfer transactions conducted by consumers, such as a point-of-sale swipe reload transaction, the purchase of a MoneyPak or an e-cash mobile remittance transaction marketed under various brand names, that we conducted through our retail distributors in a specified period. This metric excludes disbursements made through our wage disbursement platform. We review this metric as a measure of the size and scale of our retail cash processing network, as an indicator of customer engagement and usage of our products and services, and to analyze cash transfer revenue, which is a key component of our financial performance. Number of Tax Refunds Processed — Represents the total number of tax refunds processed in a specified period. The number of tax refunds processed is most concentrated during the first half of each year and is minimal during the second half of each year. We review this metric as a measure of the size and scale of our tax refund processing platform and as an indicator of customer engagement and usage of its products and services. 29 Table of Contents Key components of our results of operations Operating Revenues We classify our operating revenues into the following four categories: Card Revenues and Other Fees — Card revenues consist of monthly maintenance fees, ATM fees, new card fees and other revenues. We charge maintenance fees on prepaid cards, checking accounts and certain cash transfer products, such as MoneyPak, pursuant to the terms and conditions in our customer agreements. We charge ATM fees to accountholders when they withdraw money at certain ATMs in accordance with the terms and conditions in our accountholder agreements. We charge new card fees, if applicable, when a consumer purchases a prepaid card, gift card, or a checking account product through our Retail channel. Other revenues consist primarily of revenue associated with our gift card program, annual fees associated with our secured credit card portfolio, transaction-based fees, fees associated with optional products or services, such as our overdraft protection program, and cash-back rewards we offer to accountholders. Our cash-back rewards are recorded as a reduction to card revenues and other fees. Also included in card revenues and other fees are program management service fees earned from our BaaS partners for programs we manage on their behalf. Our aggregate monthly maintenance fee revenues vary primarily based upon the number of active accounts in our portfolio and the average fee assessed per account. Our average monthly maintenance fee per active account depends upon the mix of products in our portfolio at any given point in time and upon the extent to which fees are waived based on various incentives provided to customers in an effort to encourage higher usage and retention. Our aggregate ATM fee revenues vary based upon the number of accountholder ATM transactions and the average fee per ATM transaction. The average fee per ATM transaction depends upon the mix of products in our portfolio at any given point in time and the extent to which accountholders use ATMs within our free network that carry no fee for cash withdrawal transactions. Our aggregate new card fee revenues vary based upon the number of prepaid cards and checking accounts activated and the average new card fee. The average new card fee depends primarily upon the mix of products that we sell since there are variations in new account fees based on the product and/or the location or source where our products are purchased. The revenue we earn from each of these fees may also vary depending upon the channel in which the active accounts were acquired. For example, certain BaaS programs may not assess monthly maintenance fees and as a result, these accounts may generate lower fee revenue than other active accounts. Our aggregate other fees vary primarily based upon account sales of all types, gift card sales, purchase transactions and the number of active accounts in our portfolio. Cash Processing Revenues — Cash processing revenues consist of cash transfer revenues, tax refund processing service revenues, disbursement revenues and other tax processing service revenues. We earn cash transfer revenues when consumers fund their cards through a reload transaction at a Green Dot Network retail location. Our aggregate cash transfer revenues vary based upon the mix of locations where reload transactions occur, since reload fees vary by location. We earn tax refund processing service revenues at the point in time when a customer of a third-party tax preparation company chooses to pay his or her tax preparation fee through the use of our tax refund processing services. We earn disbursement fees from our business partners at the point in time payment disbursements are made. Interchange Revenues — We earn interchange revenues from fees remitted by the merchant’s bank, which are based on rates established by the payment networks, at the point in time when customers make purchase transactions using our products. Our aggregate interchange revenues vary based primarily on the number of active accounts in our portfolio, the average transactional volume of the active accounts in our portfolio, the merchant category of spend, and on the mix of accountholder purchases between those using signature identification technologies and those using personal identification numbers and the corresponding rates. Interest Income, net — Net interest income represents the difference between the interest income earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense on our interest-bearing liabilities held at Green Dot Bank. Interest-earning assets include cash from customer deposits, loans, and investment securities. Our interest-bearing liabilities held at Green Dot Bank include interest-bearing deposits. Our net interest income and our net interest margin fluctuate based on changes in the federal funds interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Operating Expenses We classify our operating expenses into the following four categories: Sales and Marketing Expenses — Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of the commissions we pay to our retail distributors, brokers and partners, advertising and marketing expenses, and the costs of manufacturing and distributing card packages, placards and promotional materials to our retail distributors and personalized debit 30 Table of Contents cards to consumers who have activated their cards. We generally establish commission percentages in long-term distribution agreements with our retail distributors and partners. Aggregate commissions with our retail distributors are determined by the number of account products and cash transfers sold at their respective retail stores. Commissions with our partners and, in certain cases, our retail distributors are determined by the revenue generated from the ongoing use of the associated card programs. We incur advertising and marketing expenses for television, sponsorships, online and in-store promotions. Advertising and marketing expenses are recognized as incurred and typically deliver a benefit over an extended period of time. For this reason, these expenses do not always track changes in our operating revenues. Our manufacturing and distribution costs vary primarily based on the number of accounts activated by consumers. Compensation and Benefits Expenses — Compensation and benefits expenses represent the compensation and benefits that we provide to our employees and the payments we make to third-party contractors. While we have an in-house customer service function, we employ third-party contractors to conduct call center operations, handle routine customer service inquiries and provide consulting support in the area of IT operations and elsewhere. Compensation and benefits expenses associated with our customer service and loss management functions generally vary in line with the size of our active account portfolio, while the expenses associated with other functions do not. Processing Expenses — Processing expenses consist primarily of the fees charged to us by the payment networks, which process transactions for us, the third-party card processors that maintain the records of our customers' accounts and process transaction authorizations and postings for us and the third-party banks that issue our accounts. These costs generally vary based on the total number of active accounts in our portfolio and gross dollar volume transacted by those accounts. Also included in processing expenses are bank fees associated with our tax refund processing services and gateway and network fees associated with our disbursement services. Bank fees generally vary based on the total number of tax refund transfers processed and gateway and network fees vary based on the number of disbursements made. Other General and Administrative Expenses — Other general and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional services fees, telephone and communication costs, depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment, amortization of our intangible assets, impairment charges of long-lived assets, transaction losses (losses from customer disputed transactions, unrecovered customer purchase transaction overdrafts and fraud), rent and utilities, and insurance. We incur telephone and communication costs primarily from customers contacting us through our toll-free telephone numbers. These costs vary with the total number of active accounts in our portfolio, as do losses from customer disputed transactions, unrecovered customer purchase transaction overdrafts and fraud. Costs associated with professional services, depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment, amortization of our acquired intangible assets, impairment charges of long-lived assets, rent and utilities vary based upon our investment in infrastructure, business development, risk management and internal controls and are generally not correlated with our operating revenues or other transaction metrics. Other Expense, net Other expense, net includes income and expenses we generally do not consider normal operating activities, such as earnings, losses or impairment attributable to equity method investments, realized gains or losses on investment securities, income earned on bank-owned life insurance policies, and changes in valuation allowances on loans held for sale, amongst other similar items that may arise from time to time. Income Tax Expense Our income tax expense consists of the federal and state corporate income taxes accrued on income resulting from the sale of our products and services. Our effective income tax rate may differ from the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due to a number of factors, including state income taxes, general business credits, non-deductible expenses and penalties, increases or decreases in valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions, excess tax benefits or shortfalls on stock compensation awards, audit developments, and legislative changes. See Note 10—Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a discussion of the significant tax differences that impacted our effective tax rate. Critical Accounting Estimates There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. 31 Table of Contents Comparison of Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 Operating Revenues The following table presents a breakdown of our operating revenues among card revenues and other fees, cash processing revenues, interchange revenues and net interest income: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Amount % of Total Operating Revenues Amount % of Total Operating Revenues (In thousands, except percentages) Operating revenues: Card revenues and other fees $ 375,953 67.2 % $ 281,503 62.3 % Cash processing revenues 113,373 20.3 106,806 23.6 Interchange revenues 47,919 8.6 50,968 11.3 Interest income, net 21,629 3.9 12,711 2.8 Total operating revenues $ 558,874 100.0 % $ 451,988 100.0 % Card Revenues and Other Fees — Card revenues and other fees totaled $376.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $94.5 million, or 34%, from the comparable prior year period. Card revenues and other fees increased primarily due to growth in gross dollar volume in our B2B Services segment programs, which resulted in higher program management service fees earned from our BaaS partners. These increases were partially offset by decreases in accountholder fees, such as monthly maintenance fees and ATM fees, as a result of a decline in active accounts in our Consumer Services segment during the current period, and lower breakage revenue on our gift card portfolio. Cash Processing Revenues — Cash processing revenues totaled $113.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $6.6 million, or 6%, from the comparable prior year period. Although the number of tax refunds processed decreased by 14% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, our tax processing revenues increased from the expansion of our taxpayer advance program and a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed. The decrease in the number of tax refunds processed is principally attributable to our online tax preparation partners. The increase in tax processing revenues was partially offset by a 3% decline in the number of cash transfers processed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year comparable period. The decline in the number of cash transfers processed was due to a lower number of active accounts within our Consumer Services segment. Interchange Revenues — Interchange revenues totaled $47.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 6%, from the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in purchase volume of 3% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as a lower effective interchange rate earned for the comparable periods. Our interchange rate declined due to a mix-shift toward categories of consumer purchases with lower effective rates. In addition, our interchange fees have both fixed and variable components, and as a result, the effective rate we earn may vary based on the size of transactions, among other factors. Interest Income, net — Net interest income totaled $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $8.9 million, or 70%, from the comparable prior year period. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of an increase in cash from deposit programs with our partners and yields earned at the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an increase in interest shared with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue). 32 Table of Contents Operating Expenses The following table presents a breakdown of our operating expenses among sales and marketing, compensation and benefits, processing, and other general and administrative expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Amount % of Total Operating Revenues Amount % of Total Operating Revenues (In thousands, except percentages) Operating expenses: Sales and marketing expenses $ 59,688 10.7 % $ 62,375 13.8 % Compensation and benefits expenses 66,214 11.8 66,824 14.8 Processing expenses 285,317 51.1 195,666 43.3 Other general and administrative expenses 86,910 15.6 116,569 25.8 Total operating expenses $ 498,129 89.2 % $ 441,434 97.7 % Sales and Marketing Expenses — Sales and marketing expenses totaled $59.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 4%, from the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue-sharing arrangements in our tax processing business, partially offset by an increase in sales commissions from higher revenues on products subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements in our Consumer Services segment. Compensation and Benefits Expenses — Compensation and benefits expenses totaled $66.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 1%, from the comparable prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in employee stock-based compensation due to forfeitures of awards from certain employees and severance benefits not recurring at the same magnitude in the current period as a result of our reduction in employee workforce in the comparable prior year period, partially offset by an increase in third-party call center support costs associated with the growth of the BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment. Processing Expenses — Processing expenses totaled $285.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $89.6 million, or 46%, from the comparable prior year period. This increase was principally due to growth in gross dollar volume on certain BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment. Other General and Administrative Expenses — Other general and administrative expenses totaled $86.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $29.7 million, or 25%, from the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in overall transaction losses attributable to lower customer dispute volume across our portfolios and favorable reductions in our dispute loss rates, the settlement payment and impairment charges related to the termination of our partnership agreement to develop a new core banking system that were incurred in the first quarter of 2024 that did not recur in the current period, and lower professional services fees related to our AML programs, due to the completion of certain initiatives. Other Expense, net Other expense, net totaled $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $23.9 million, from the prior year comparable period. 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. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in equity method losses in TailFin Labs, LLC due to lower marketing expenses, and higher income earned from bank-owned life insurance policies. 33 Table of Contents Income Tax Expense The following table presents a breakdown of our effective tax rate among federal, state, and other: 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) Stock-based compensation 3.8 22.7 IRC 162(m) limitation (2.9) (3.6) 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 % Our income tax expense totaled $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $5.3 million, or 211%, from the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase in our taxable income, partially offset by a decrease in our effective tax rate. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year comparable period was due to several factors, including the impact of general business credits, an increase of $0.1 million in tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, a decrease of $0.3 million in the tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation, a decrease of $0.7 million in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the IRC Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, a decrease of $0.1 million in tax expense due to nondeductible expenses, and 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. These decreases in our effective tax rate were partially offset by an increase in state income taxes expense, net of federal benefits of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 . The "Other" category in our effective tax rate consists of a variety of permanent differences, none of which were individually significant. Segment Results Consumer Services The results of operations and key metrics of our Consumer Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In thousands, except percentages) Financial Results Segment revenues $ 95,256 $ 100,612 $ (5,356) (5.3) % Segment expenses 61,624 67,353 (5,729) (8.5) % Segment profit $ 33,632 $ 33,259 $ 373 1.1 % Key Metrics (In millions, except percentages) Gross dollar volume $ 4,238 $ 4,500 $ (262) (5.8) % Number of active accounts* 1.80 1.93 (0.13) (6.7) % Direct deposit active accounts* 0.41 0.46 (0.05) (10.9) % Purchase volume $ 3,127 $ 3,339 $ (212) (6.3) % * Represents total number of active and direct deposit active accounts as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 34 Table of Contents As additional supplemental information, our key metrics within our Consumer Services segment is presented on a quarterly basis as follows: 2025 2024 Q1 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 (In millions) Key Metrics Gross dollar volume $ 4,238 $ 4,060 $ 3,983 $ 4,014 $ 4,500 Number of active accounts * 1.80 1.88 1.78 1.76 1.93 Direct deposit active accounts * 0.41 0.43 0.44 0.45 0.46 Purchase volume $ 3,127 $ 3,082 $ 2,904 $ 3,036 $ 3,339 * Represents total number of active accounts as of the end of each quarter. Segment revenues within Consumer Services for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $5.4 million, or 5%, from the prior year comparable period, while our segment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $5.7 million, or 9%. Our gross dollar volume and purchase volume each declined by 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the number of active accounts and direct deposit accounts declined by 7% and 11%, respectively, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to each of the factors discussed above in "Overview." These factors include macro-economic factors leading to economic challenges for consumers and other competitive trends that have impacted acquisition at retail locations, as well as the non-renewal of one of our retail partner programs in a prior period. Our gross dollar volume and purchase volume decreased year-over-year by similar levels during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the same reasons discussed above. As a result of these decreases in each of our key metrics, our monthly maintenance fee revenues, ATM fee revenues and interchange revenues decreased year-over-year. In addition, our interchange rate declined due to a mix-shift toward categories of consumer purchases with lower effective rates, as well as a decrease in breakage revenue on our gift card portfolios for the comparable period. Segment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due a decrease in overall transaction losses attributable to lower customer dispute volume across our portfolios and favorable reductions in our dispute loss rates, partially offset by an increase in sales commissions from higher revenues on products subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements. Overall, segment profit increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by approximately 1%, from the prior year comparable period. B2B Services The results of operations and key metrics of our B2B Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In thousands, except percentages) Financial Results Segment revenues $ 341,991 $ 241,200 $ 100,791 41.8 % Segment expenses 314,839 222,917 91,922 41.2 % Segment profit $ 27,152 $ 18,283 $ 8,869 48.5 % Key Metrics (In millions, except percentages) Gross dollar volume $ 33,014 $ 26,255 $ 6,759 25.7 % Number of active accounts* 1.78 1.58 0.20 12.7 % Purchase volume $ 1,986 $ 1,935 $ 51 2.6 % * Represents total number of active accounts as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As additional supplemental information, our key metrics within our B2B Services segment is presented on a quarterly basis as follows: 35 Table of Contents 2025 2024 Q1 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 (In millions) Key Metrics Gross dollar volume $ 33,014 $ 31,222 $ 29,490 $ 28,116 $ 26,255 Number of active accounts* 1.78 1.79 1.68 1.65 1.58 Purchase volume $ 1,986 $ 2,070 $ 1,983 $ 1,976 $ 1,935 * Represents total number of active accounts as of the end of each quarter. Segment revenues within our B2B Services for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $100.8 million, or 42%, compared to the prior year period, while our segment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $91.9 million, or 41%. Our gross dollar volume, purchase volume, and number of active accounts increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 26%, 3%, and 13%, respectively, from the prior year comparable period. We have continued to experience organic growth from both new and existing users concentrated in certain BaaS programs that tend to yield higher gross dollar volume per active user but do not generate comparable levels of interchange fees. The growth in gross dollar volume from these BaaS programs resulted in a net increase in segment revenue due to higher program management service fees earned from these BaaS partners. Segment expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the comparable prior year period, principally due to higher processing expenses associated with the growth of certain BaaS account programs, as well as higher third-party call center support costs as a result of an increase in gross dollar volume and the number of active accounts, partially offset by lower transaction losses due to favorable reductions in our dispute loss rates. As a result of these factors, our segment profit increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by approximately 49%, from the prior year comparable period. Segment profit margin increased year-over-year from improvement in our cost structure, although it was limited because certain BaaS partnerships were structured based largely on a fixed profit and, therefore, our segment profit for certain arrangements will not scale with revenue growth. Money Movement Services The results of operations and key metrics of our Money Movement Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In thousands, except percentages) Financial Results Segment revenues $ 110,247 $ 103,150 $ 7,097 6.9 % Segment expenses 33,421 37,303 (3,882) (10.4) % Segment profit $ 76,826 $ 65,847 $ 10,979 16.7 % Key Metrics (In millions, except percentages) Number of cash transfers 7.51 7.77 (0.26) (3.3) % Number of tax refunds processed 7.98 9.28 (1.30) (14.0) % As additional supplemental information, our key metrics within our Money Movement Services segment is presented on a quarterly basis as follows: 2025 2024 Q1 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 (In millions) Key Metrics Number of cash transfers 7.51 8.14 8.22 8.15 7.77 Number of tax refunds processed 7.98 0.15 0.19 4.20 9.28 Segment revenues within our Money Movement services for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $7.1 million, or 7%, from the comparable prior year period, while segment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $3.9 million, or 10%. 36 Table of Contents The increase in segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by higher tax processing revenues despite a lower number of tax refunds processed, due to the expansion of our taxpayer advance program and a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed. partially offset by lower cash transfer revenues. The decrease in the number of tax refunds processed is principally attributable to our online tax preparation partners. These increases were partially offset by a 3% decline in the number of cash transfers processed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year comparable period. The decline in the number of cash transfers processed was due to a lower number of active accounts within our Consumer Services segment discussed above. The Green Dot Network is a service provider to accountholders in both our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, as well as third-party programs. Segment expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in revenue-sharing arrangements in our tax processing business. Corporate and Other The results of operations and key metrics of our Corporate and Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change % (In thousands, except percentages) Financial Results Unallocated revenue and inter-segment eliminations $ 8,470 $ 2,461 $ 6,009 244.2 % Unallocated corporate expenses and inter-segment eliminations 55,521 60,618 (5,097) (8.4) % Total $ (47,051) $ (58,157) $ 11,106 (19.1) % Revenues within Corporate and Other are comprised of net interest income, certain other investment income earned by our bank, interest profit sharing arrangements with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue) and eliminations of inter-segment revenues. Unallocated corporate expenses include eliminations of inter-segment expenses and our fixed expenses such as salaries, wages and related benefits for our employees, 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 unallocated corporate expenses above. Refer to Note 19—Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a summary reconciliation. Revenues within our Corporate and Other segment were driven primarily by an increase in net interest income, which increased by 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from the prior year comparable period. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase in cash from deposit programs with our partners and yields earned at the Federal Reserve, partially offset by the portion of interest shared with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue). Unallocated corporate expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by approximately 8%, over the prior year comparable period. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in overall transaction losses attributable to lower customer dispute volume across our portfolios and favorable reductions in our dispute loss rates, and lower professional services fees related to our AML programs, due to the completion of certain initiatives. 37 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources The following table summarizes our major sources and uses of cash for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (In thousands) Total cash provided by (used in) Operating activities $ 108,721 $ 89,177 Investing activities (63,457) (4,526) Financing activities 135,189 347,877 Increase in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 180,453 $ 432,528 For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we financed our operations primarily through our cash flows provided by operating activities, customer funds held on deposit and borrowings from our senior unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2025, our primary source of liquidity was unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.8 billion. We also consider our $2.1 billion of available-for-sale investment securities to be highly liquid instruments. We use trend and variance analysis as well as our detailed budgets and forecasts to project future cash needs, making adjustments to the projections when needed. We believe that our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, borrowing capacity under our revolving line of credit, and net proceeds from the issuance and sale of our senior unsecured notes will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, and any other capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We are currently not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyond the next 12 months. We continue to monitor the impact of material trends on our business to ensure our liquidity and capital resources remain appropriate throughout this period of uncertainty. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Our $108.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was the result of $25.8 million of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash operating items of $62.8 million and increases in net changes in our working capital assets and liabilities of $20.2 million. Our $89.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was the result of $4.8 million of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash operating items of $47.2 million and increases in net changes in our working capital assets and liabilities of $37.2 million. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Our $63.5 million of net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities, net of maturities and sales, of $25.9 million, the acquisition of property and equipment of $19.4 million and net changes in loans of $17.6 million. Our $4.5 million of net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to capital contributions related to the payment of the final installment of our investment commitment to TailFin Labs, LLC of $35.0 million, net changes in loans of $39.9 million, and the acquisition of property and equipment of $14.5 million, partially offset by net proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale securities of $45.9 million and the surrender of a portion of our bank-owned life insurance policies of $39.1 million. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Our $135.2 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was principally the result of a net increase in customer deposits of $159.8 million partially offset by a net decrease in obligations to customers of $36.6 million. Refer to additional discussion below for our borrowings and repayments of debt. Our $347.9 million of net cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was principally the result of a net increase in customer deposits of $452.0 million, partially offset by a net decrease of $86.7 million in obligations to customers and repayments of $16.0 million, net of borrowings, on our revolving line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2024. 38 Table of Contents Other Sources of Liquidity Senior Unsecured Notes In 2024 and 2025, we issued and sold senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $65 million. 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. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility discussed below, and for general corporate purposes. 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. The proceeds of any borrowings under the 2019 Revolving Facility were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the then-outstanding balance on the 2019 Revolving Facility was repaid in full, and the 2019 Revolving Facility terminated at its maturity date. Material Cash Requirements While the overall macro-economic environment, the effect of high inflation and interest rates, and other factors described in "Outlook and Other Trends Affecting Our Business" above have created economic uncertainty and impacted how we manage our liquidity and capital resources, we intend to continue to invest in growth and cost efficiency initiatives in the normal course of business until we reach a conclusion regarding the process we recently initiated to explore potential strategic alternatives. The amount and timing of these investments and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors including the rate of change of computer hardware and software used in our business and our business outlook as a result of macro-economic uncertainties. We intend to continue to invest in new products and programs, new features for our existing products and IT infrastructure in order to scale and operate effectively to meet our strategic objectives. We expect our capital expenditures in 2025 to be lower compared to our capital expenditures in the prior year, but at similar levels compared to our annual investments in recent years. We expect to fund these capital expenditures primarily through our cash flows provided by operating activities. We have used cash to acquire businesses and technologies and we anticipate that we may continue to do so in the future. The nature of these transactions, however, makes it difficult to predict the amount and timing of such cash requirements. Additionally, we have made and may further make periodic cash contributions to our subsidiary bank, Green Dot Bank, to maintain its capital, leverage and other financial commitments at levels we have agreed to with our regulators. We may need to increase the size of our cash contributions to Green Dot Bank to maintain its capital, leverage and other financial commitments. Contractual Obligations There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to our contractual obligations disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. 39 Table of Contents Capital Requirements for Bank Holding Companies Our subsidiary bank, Green Dot Bank, is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and our primary regulators are the Federal Reserve Board and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. We and Green Dot Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, we and Green Dot Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Basel III rules, which were promulgated by the Federal Reserve and other U.S. banking regulators, provide for risk-based capital, leverage and liquidity standards. Under the Basel III rules, we must maintain a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Either or both of Green Dot Corporation and Green Dot Bank may qualify for and opt to use, from time to time, the community bank leverage ratio framework under the Federal Reserve’s version of the U.S. Basel III Rules. Under the community bank leverage ratio framework, a qualifying community banking organization may generally satisfy its capital requirements (and capital conservation buffer) under the U.S. Basel III rules provided that it has a Tier 1 leverage ratio greater than 9% and satisfies other applicable conditions. Green Dot Corporation and Green Dot Bank qualify for and opt into use of the community bank leverage ratio framework. We expect that Green Dot Corporation will continue to qualify for and use the community bank leverage ratio framework, and that Green Dot Bank will calculate and disclose its risk-based capital ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratio under standardized approach of the U.S. Basel III Rules. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we and Green Dot Bank were categorized as "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory standards. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," we and Green Dot Bank must maintain specific total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There were no conditions or events since March 31, 2025 which management believes would have changed our category as "well-capitalized." The definitions associated with the amounts and ratios below are as follows: Ratio Definition Tier 1 leverage ratio Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio Common equity Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets Tier 1 capital ratio Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets Total risk-based capital ratio Total capital divided by risk-weighted assets Terms Definition Tier 1 capital and Common equity Tier 1 capital Includes common stock and retained earnings, adjusted for items primarily related to accumulated OCI, goodwill, deferred tax assets and intangibles. Total capital Tier 1 capital plus supplemental capital items such as the allowance for credit losses, subject to certain limits Average total assets Average total consolidated assets during the period less deductions and adjustments primarily related to goodwill, deferred tax assets and intangibles assets Risk-weighted assets Represents the amount of assets or exposure multiplied by the standardized risk weight (%) associated with that type of asset or exposure. The standardized risk weights are prescribed in the bank capital rules and reflect regulatory judgment regarding the riskiness of a type of asset or exposure 40 Table of Contents The actual amounts and ratios, and required "well-capitalized" minimum capital amounts and ratios at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows: March 31, 2025 Amount Ratio Regulatory Minimum "Well-capitalized" Minimum (In thousands, except ratios) Green Dot Corporation: Tier 1 leverage $ 792,797 15.1 % 4.0 % n/a Common equity Tier 1 capital $ 792,797 43.2 % 4.5 % n/a Tier 1 capital $ 792,797 43.2 % 6.0 % 6.0 % Total risk-based capital $ 819,276 44.6 % 8.0 % 10.0 % Green Dot Bank: Tier 1 leverage $ 388,585 7.6 % 4.0 % 5.0 % Common equity Tier 1 capital $ 388,585 29.2 % 4.5 % 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 388,585 29.2 % 6.0 % 8.0 % Total risk-based capital $ 395,390 29.7 % 8.0 % 10.0 % December 31, 2024 Amount Ratio Regulatory Minimum "Well-capitalized" Minimum (In thousands, except ratios) Green Dot Corporation: Tier 1 leverage $ 760,571 15.0 % 4.0 % n/a Common equity Tier 1 capital $ 760,571 42.6 % 4.5 % n/a Tier 1 capital $ 760,571 42.6 % 6.0 % 6.0 % Total risk-based capital $ 782,207 43.8 % 8.0 % 10.0 % Green Dot Bank: Tier 1 leverage $ 362,697 7.3 % 4.0 % 5.0 % Common equity Tier 1 capital $ 362,697 28.2 % 4.5 % 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 362,697 28.2 % 6.0 % 8.0 % Total risk-based capital $ 370,207 28.8 % 8.0 % 10.0 % 41 Table of Contents
