May 14 – San Francisco – During its presentation at FinovateSpring today, Green Dot Corporation’s GoBank (NYSE: GDOT) announced that it expects to be generally available by Independence Day (July 4). GoBank, a brand of Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, is the first bank account designed specifically for the mobile device and targets members of the mobile generation who are seeking an easy, fast and fun user experience that provides them with transparency and control over their daily finances.  Green Dot expects to market GoBank in the following ways:

• Digital Distribution and Marketing:

Along with its presence in the Apple App Store and Google Play, GoBank will be digitally distributed by a number of companies, including WePay, Check, Tango Card and Rewardable.

To generate awareness and demand, GoBank will be marketed through advertising on Twitter and on the Facebook Platform. GoBank will also be featured on the upcoming 12th season of Project Runway. Throughout the season, designers will be able to use GoBank accounts featuring the Fortune Teller, debit cards and person-to-person money transfers.  

• In-Store Promotions:

Starting July 4, Rite Aid stores will be running an in-store promotion for GoBank at all of its stores nationwide. Rite Aid will distribute free information packets that include an offer for a free custom GoBank debit card with the member’s choice of photo (a $9 value). This promotion will expand to additional retail partners in the near future, including Kmart.
“We believe GoBank has the opportunity to propel consumer banking into the era of the app. As a real bank account issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, GoBank provides consumers with great technology and an engaging user experience as part of a bank account with no overdraft or penalty fees ever,” said Steve Streit, CEO of Green Dot Corporation.
GoBank offers a consumer-friendly pricing model with no overdraft fees or penalty fees and no minimum balance requirements, with a vast network of 42,000 in-network, fee-free ATMs nationwide. For its monthly membership, GoBank offers a “pay what you want” model, where members can elect to pay anywhere from $0 to $9 per month at their own discretion (like a monthly tip).  GoBank members get all of the same account features regardless of the amount they decide to pay GoBank every month.  The other fees on the account are limited to a 3% foreign transaction fee, out-of-network ATM fees ($2.50 for a withdrawal and $1 for a balance inquiry), and if the member wants to customize their debit card or order a replacement custom card, it costs $9.
As a brand of Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, all GoBank deposits are FDIC-insured. Each GoBank account includes a checking account with a linked Visa debit card and a second integrated bank account called the Money Vault that’s designed to be an easy way for GoBank members to put money away for savings. Accounts are demand deposit accounts (DDA) with deposits insured by the FDIC and full Regulation E consumer protections.
