Credit Sesame and Green Dot Partner to Empower Financial Growth

Credit Sesame, a leading financial education platform, has partnered with Green Dot Corporation to revolutionize the way users can build and improve their credit scores. This partnership is expected to result in continued innovation for years to come.

The partnership aims to provide a more powerful Sesame Cash experience, empowering users to take control of their finances and future. Green Dot's GM/SVP of Embedded Finance, Renata Caine, expressed her support for the partnership, emphasizing the shared commitment between Green Dot and Credit Sesame to financial inclusion and improvement.

With this collaboration, the Sesame Credit Builder service offers users the ability to build and improve their credit scores through everyday debit purchases. This service is integrated into the enhanced Sesame Cash digital banking platform, which now provides FDIC-insured demand deposit accounts via Green Dot’s Arc platform.

Key features and benefits include:

  • Credit building via everyday debit transactions: Users can boost their credit scores simply by using their debit card for daily purchases, rather than relying exclusively on traditional credit products.
  • FDIC-insured accounts: Sesame Cash users gain access to FDIC-insured demand deposit accounts through Green Dot, adding security and trust to their banking experience.
  • Integrated financial wellness tools: The platform continues to provide ongoing access to free credit monitoring, weekly credit report summaries with a Sesame Grade letter, credit alerts, and tools to understand credit score potential.
  • Convenient digital banking experience: The partnership enables seamless embedded finance capabilities, combining banking with credit-building in one app environment to improve financial empowerment and accessibility for millions across the US.

David Bagatelle, the Head of Global Operations and Banking at Credit Sesame, stated that the partnership with Green Dot allows them to scale Sesame Cash faster and deliver smarter, more accessible tools. Green Dot's embedded finance platform, Arc, will provide access to FDIC-insured demand deposit accounts (DDAs) for Credit Sesame users at launch.

The upcoming Sesame Credit Builder service on Sesame Cash will enable users to build and improve their credit scores through everyday debit purchases. This service follows the recent release of Credit Sesame's newest AI-backed management platform, Sesame, additional new services such as credit-building tools will become available to Sesame Cash users.

The partnership between Credit Sesame and Green Dot continues to focus on improving consumers' financial health. By democratizing credit access with added convenience and security, this collaboration is set to transform the way users manage their finances, helping them grow their savings and take control of their financial future.
