Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | 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. Proposed Transactions with CommerceOne Financial Corporation and Smith Ventures, LLC In connection with a strategic review process we commenced in March 2025 (our “strategic review process”), on November 23, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with CommerceOne Financial Corporation, an Alabama corporation (“CommerceOne”), Compass Sub North, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CommerceOne (“New CommerceOne”), Compass Sub East, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne (“Merger Sub One”), and Compass Sub West, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne (“Merger Sub Two”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (i) Merger Sub One will merge with and into CommerceOne, with CommerceOne surviving (the “CommerceOne Merger”), and Merger Sub Two will merge with and into Green Dot Corporation, with Green Dot Corporation surviving (the “Green Dot Merger,” and together with the CommerceOne Merger, the “First Mergers”); and (ii) following the First Mergers, CommerceOne will merge with and into New CommerceOne, with New CommerceOne surviving under the name “CommerceOne Financial Corporation” (together with the First Mergers, the “Mergers”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Mergers (the “First Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Green Dot Corporation, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, other than certain excluded shares held by us, CommerceOne, New CommerceOne or our dissenting stockholders, will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.2215 shares of the common stock of New CommerceOne and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $8.11 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”), less any withholding and without interest. Also on November 23, 2025, we entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), with New CommerceOne and Green Dot OpCo, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of Smith Ventures LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (“Payments Buyer”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, following the First Mergers, (i) Green Dot Corporation will convert into a limited liability company, (ii) Green Dot Corporation will distribute the stock of Green Dot Bank to Compass Sub Northwest, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne, and (iii) Payments Buyer will acquire Green Dot Corporation and its non-bank financial technology and related assets and operations (the “Payments Business”) for $690 million (the “Payments Sale”), the proceeds of which will be paid to New CommerceOne and are expected to be used to fund the Per Share Cash Consideration and to retire certain indebtedness of Green Dot Corporation. The Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement were unanimously approved by our Board of Directors. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement remains subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, approval by the stockholders of Green Dot Corporation and CommerceOne and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. For additional information regarding potential risks and uncertainties associated with such transactions, please see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors below.
