Pasadena, CA based Green Dot Corporation operates as a financial technology and bank holding company in the United States. On February 20, 2019, Green Dot Corporation CEO Steven W. Streit revealed during the FY 2018 conference call that the Company's strategy of attracting "high-value" long-term customers at the expense of "one and done" customers was self-sabotaging, stating, "…that we are somewhat a victim of our own success in converting more and more of our quarterly active accounts to direct deposit active accounts." These "one and done" customers represented a significant source of revenue in the Company's legacy segment.

On May 8, 2019, Green Dot Corporation released its financial results for the first quarter of 2019, announcing dramatically reduced earnings guidance. During a conference call, the Company disclosed that it was "experiencing some erosion in the number of legacy product line, non-direct deposit active accounts, primarily from our legacy brick and mortar retail channel and to a lesser degree from our RushCard and account now digital direct brands." On this news, Green Dot's share price dropped over 26%.

Then, on August 7, 2019, Green Dot Corporation released financial results for the second quarter of 2019, announcing another guidance reduction and disclosing "lower than anticipated prepaid unit sales that has caused a material reduction in active prepaid accounts".

On November 7, 2019, the Company revealed a decline of 620,000 accounts in its active consumer business, mostly "one-time use accounts."
