Success Story Green Dot and rePower Green Dot utilizes rePower and Mastercard's network to facilitate cash load transactions to prepaid and debit cards at 100,000 retailers The Challenge For unbanked populations, a reloadable card is often the first step toward financial inclusion. In order to take this step, they must have access to a channel to load cash onto a reloadable prepaid card. In addition, as banking moves toward digital channels and bank branches continue to close, the need for other cash reload locations becomes increasingly important. The Solution Green Dot has established a network of approximately 100,000 retail locations nationwide to enable cash reload.
