Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter responds to the comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in the letter dated October 2, 2019 from the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, Office of Financial Services to Mr. Steven W. Streit of Green Dot Corporation (the “Company” and “we”). For your convenience, we have set forth below the Staff’s comments in italicized text. The Company’s response to the Staff comments follows immediately after the text of the Staff comments.

We note your response to comment 1. Considering that your revised 2019 guidance was in part attributable to the decline in your legacy non-direct deposit active accounts as discussed in your Q2 2019 earnings call, in future filings, please disaggregate Gross Dollar Volume and Number of Active Accounts between direct deposit active accounts and non-direct deposit active accounts.

Response:
In future filings, the Company will disaggregate Gross Dollar Volume and Active Accounts as requested.

Please direct any comments or questions regarding this filing to me at (626) 765-2619 or to Jess Unruh, Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, at (626) 765-2003.
