Interest paid on money in Savings Account every 12 months based on the average daily balance of the prior 365 days, up to a maximum balance of $10,000. Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) are accurate as of 8/1/20 and may change before or after you open an account. See Account Agreement for fees, terms and conditions. The average national savings account interest rate of 0.06% is determined by the FDIC as of May 11, 2020. National rates are calculated based on a simple average of rates paid (uses annual percentage yield) by all insured depository institutions and branches for which data are available. Savings account rates are based on the $2,500 product tier. Visit https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/rates/ to learn more.

Free cash deposit using our app at participating retailers. See app for free ATM locations. Direct Deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period. Make sure the name and social security number on file with your employer or benefits provider matches what’s on your Green Dot account exactly. We will not be able to deposit your payment if we are unable to match recipients.

After registering your Cash Back Visa^® Debit Card and setting up direct deposit, you may be eligible to receive your pay up to 2 days early or government benefits up to 4 days before benefits day (subject to deposit verification and depending on your payment provider’s process and timing).

Some employers and benefits providers send payment instructions ahead of the actual payday. If they do, we’ll credit the amount to your account when we receive payment instructions (instead of waiting for the actual payday) so you can enjoy your money sooner. However, it’s important to note that if and how early your deposit can be posted to your account is completely dependent on when the employer or benefits provider sends us the payment instructions and fraud restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period. Make sure the name and social security number on file with your employer or benefits provider matches what’s on your Green Dot account exactly. Green Dot will not be able to deposit your payment if we are unable to match recipients.
