We have differentiated customer acquisition channels and partners; we work with major retailers and technology platforms. Our tax processing and pay card businesses have market leading positions. We have a highly differentiated set of assets With the completion of our technology transformation we expect to deliver superior product capabilities at a cost advantage with extremely low marginal cost. The Green Dot Network (GDN) enables us to provide a robust omni-channel platform that differentiates us; 3rd party volumes now account for ~50% of total transactions. All financial transactions in the US still require access to the banking system and a regulated financial entity; our bank charter sets us apart and we believe provides product, funding and scale advantages. Integrated bank Modern technology platform Direct to consumer Cash retail network We are modernizing our technology infrastructure on numerous fronts: 1) We are moving to a streamlined, low cost, scalable processing environment; 2) Upgrading our fraud and risk management tools; 3) Improving our front-end development tools; and 4) Moving our platform into the cloud.

The company also faced headwinds from the benefit of stimulus payments in 2021. • Segment Profit has remained reasonably resilient due to an intense focus on driving operational efficiency while also benefitting from increased adoption of overdraft. • Purchase volume and revenue per account have showed steady gains as more highly engaged customers are retained including a higher percentage of direct deposit accounts and growth of the overdraft product. 17 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential ↑14% ↓2% ↓6% ↑15% ↑4% M Source: Company reports and company estimates 1.

18 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Retail division Partner with retailers to distribute checking accounts, such as GO2bank, and other products. Total addressable market: Over 150M unbanked and underbanked consumers and 310M users of retailer apps, estimated at an opportunity of ~$20B • Partner with over 75% of the top 20 retailers, covering 90,000+ storefronts • Average length of retailer relationships is ~10+ years • Average account is active for 2.5-3.5 months dependent on product • Average direct deposit card is active for 15-18 months dependent of product Revenue model • Interchange from networks on purchase volumes • Customer fees such as ATM transactions, monthly fees, funds transfer and overdraft protection Opportunities for growth • Beyond the Rack (BTR): Working with retailers to embed financial services within retailer’s digital eco-systems. This can include stored value accounts, digital wallets, funds movement, staging transactions leveraging the Green Dot Network and ultimately credit. Retailers have spent the last 2-3 years repositioning their core retail business to serve consumers through omni-channel strategies and we believe they are now turning their focus to adjacent offerings such as financial services. • Financial Services Centers (FSC): Historically, this has not been a channel of focus for GDOT but the channel represents a sizeable opportunity for the retail division. The FSC channel is highly focused on serving the un-banked and under-banked, which is squarely aligned with the strategy of the retail division. Our strategy is to expand the offerings with existing partners, such as path to credit and the Green Dot Network, and add new partners. 18 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Source: Company reports and company estimates

The division also faces secular headwinds associated with competition and changes in consumer foot traffic. • Division profit has been more resilient with improving margins in recent year. There has been an intense focus on managing the expense base and there were notable improvements in risk and customer care in 2022. • Volume and revenue per active continue to benefit from the retention of more highly engaged customers and the growing use of our overdraft product.

Other brands continue to receive support but no investment for growth • Direct deposit attach rate is approximately 10X of the retail channel • Higher purchase volume and revenue per active than the retail channel Revenue model • Interchange from networks on purchase volumes • Customer fees such as ATM transactions, monthly fees and funds transfer • Other consumer fees, such as overdraft protection and fees on Secured Card products 20 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Opportunities for growth Sizable market: There is a sizeable market opportunity of over 75M consumers looking for better banking solutions. Since launching in January of 2021, GO2bank has grown to account for ~45% of the revenue in the direct division and the direct division is now 30% of the consumer segment and expected to continue to grow. GO2bank expected to drive growth: GO2bank continues to see improving momentum with revenue growth in 2022 of ~80%. Growth was driven by double digit gains in actives, direct deposit and revenue per active1. While the decline of the legacy portfolios has been outweighing the growth of GO2bank, we believe the headwind is declining and the growth of GO2bank is expected to increasingly drive the division. Build the brand and functionality: We plan to continue to build out the brand appeal and feature functionality of the GO2bank platform to drive consumer growth, higher engagement and increases in revenue per active.

This resulted in a decline in legacy accounts that has outweighed the growth of GO2bank. • Division profit improved as the company made substantial improvements in risk and customer care while also driving improved engagement from active accounts. Margins also benefitted from growth in higher margin overdraft revenues and slightly lower marketing spend. • GO2bank continues to see momentum build and is now ~45% of full year division revenue in 2022. Division revenue was up ~80% in FY22 driven by solid growth in accounts and volumes. M Source: Company reports and company estimates 1.

Margins are impacted by contracts with some customers where profit structure is more fixed in nature. Excluding the impact of those arrangements profit trends have remained stable. • Actives in 2022 were down due to some modest impact from the decline in stimulus that we benefited from in 2021 and the non-renewal of a BaaS partner in early 2022. 23 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Source: Company reports and company estimates 1.

34 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential APPENDIX
35 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Reportable Segments Green Dot's segment reporting is based on how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages its businesses, including resource allocation and performance assessment. Its CODM (who is the Chief Executive Officer) organizes and manages the business primarily on the basis of the channels in which its 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, third-party call center support and transaction losses. Green Dot’s operations are aggregated amongst three reportable segments: 1) Consumer Services, 2) Business to Business ("B2B") Services and 3) Money Movement Services. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of net interest income, certain other investment income earned by Green Dot's bank, interest profit sharing arrangements with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue), eliminations of intersegment revenues and expenses, and unallocated corporate expenses, which include Green Dot's fixed expenses, such as salaries, wages and related benefits for its employees, professional service fees, software licenses, telephone and communication costs, rent, utilities, and insurance that are not considered when Green Dot's CODM evaluates segment performance. 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 overall consolidated financial results are excluded from its unallocated corporate expenses. Green Dot does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data, and therefore such information is not presented.

43 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Non-GAAP Financial Measures 1) To supplement Green Dot’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Green Dot uses measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude various, primarily non-cash, expenses and charges. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for operating revenues, operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate their measures in the same manner as Green Dot does. These financial measures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that Green Dot does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons Green Dot considers them appropriate. Green Dot believes that the non-GAAP financial measures it presents are useful to investors in evaluating Green Dot’s operating performance for the following reasons: • adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as non-operating net interest income and expense, income tax benefit and expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, transaction costs, impairment charges, extraordinary severance expenses, certain legal settlement charges, earnings or losses from equity method investments, changes in the fair value of loans held for sale, and other charges and income that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their respective financing structures and accounting policies, the book values of their assets, their capital structures and the methods by which their assets were acquired; • securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies; and • Green Dot records stock-based compensation from period to period and records its stock-based compensation expenses and related employer payroll taxes, net of forfeitures. By comparing Green Dot’s adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in different historical periods, investors can evaluate Green Dot’s operating results without the additional variations caused by stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, which may not be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of Green Dot’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of the public markets and the financial performance of Green Dot’s peers) and is not a key measure of Green Dot’s operations. Green Dot’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures: • as measures of operating performance, because they exclude the impact of items not directly resulting from Green Dot’s core operations; • for planning purposes, including the preparation of Green Dot’s annual operating budget; • to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Green Dot’s business; • to evaluate the effectiveness of Green Dot’s business strategies; • to establish metrics for variable compensation; and • in communications with Green Dot’s board of directors concerning Green Dot’s financial performance.
44 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Non-GAAP Financial Measures Green Dot understands that, although adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of Green Dot’s results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • that these measures do not reflect Green Dot’s capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments; • that these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Green Dot’s working capital needs; • that these measures do not reflect non-operating interest expense or interest income; • that these measures do not reflect cash requirements for income taxes; • that, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and • that other companies in Green Dot’s industry may calculate these measures differently than Green Dot does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. 2) Green Dot does not include any income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment to adjusted EBITDA, as the case may be, because each of these adjustments to the non-GAAP financial measure is provided before income tax expense. 3) This expense consists primarily of expenses for restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units), performance-based stock options and related employer payroll taxes. Stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of Green Dot’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of Green Dot’s peers) and is not a key measure of Green Dot’s operations. Green Dot excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it consists of non-cash expenses that Green Dot does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Green Dot also believes that it is not useful to investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation to its results of operations. Further, the related employer payroll taxes are dependent upon volatility in Green Dot's stock price, as well as the timing and size of option exercises and vesting of restricted stock units, over which Green Dot has limited to no control. This expense is included as a component of compensation and benefits expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations. 4) Green Dot excludes certain income and expenses that are the result of acquisitions. These acquisition-related adjustments include items such as transaction costs, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, settlements of contingencies established at time of acquisition and other acquisition related charges, such as integration charges and professional and legal fees, which result in Green Dot recording expenses or fair value adjustments in its GAAP financial statements. Green Dot analyzes the performance of its operations without regard to these adjustments. In determining whether any acquisition-related adjustment is appropriate, Green Dot takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations. These items are included as a component of other general and administrative expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations, as applicable for the periods presented.
45 Green Dot Corporation – Confidential Non-GAAP Financial Measures 5) Green Dot excludes certain income and expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in Green Dot's GAAP financial statements, Green Dot excludes them in its non-GAAP financial measures because Green Dot believes these items may limit the comparability of ongoing operations with prior and future periods. These adjustments include items such as amortization attributable to deferred financing costs, impairment charges related to long-lived assets, earnings or losses from equity method investments, legal settlements, changes in the fair value of loans held for sale, realized gains on investment securities and other income and expenses, as applicable for the periods presented. In determining whether any such adjustment is appropriate, Green Dot takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations. Each of these adjustments, except for amortization of deferred financing costs, earnings and losses from equity method investments, fair value changes on loans held for sale, and realized gains on investment securities, which are all included below operating income, are included within other general and administrative expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations. 6) Represents extraordinary severance expenses, which were paid out in connection with the transition and employment agreements of certain former executives, reductions in force and other extraordinary involuntary terminations of employment. Although severance expenses may arise throughout the fiscal year, the nature of these extraordinary costs are not indicative of its core operating performance. This expense is included as a component of compensation and benefits expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations. 7) Represents the tax effect for the related non-GAAP measure adjustments using Green Dot's year to date non-GAAP effective tax rate. It also excludes both the impact of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the IRC §162(m) limitation that applies to performance-based restricted stock units and stock options expense. 8) Represents commissions and certain processing-related costs associated with BaaS products and services where Green Dot does not control customer acquisition. This adjustment is netted against Green Dot's B2B Services revenues when evaluating segment performance. 9) Represents other non-interest investment income earned by Green Dot Bank. This amount is included along with operating interest income in Green Dot's Corporate and Other segment since the yield earned on these investments are generated on a recurring basis and earned similarly to its investment securities available for sale. 10) Represents the weighted average of the unvested balance of restricted shares issued to Walmart in January 2020. Walmart is entitled to voting rights and participate in any dividends paid on the unvested balance and therefore, the shares are included in the computation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
