On January 2, 2020, we effectuated our agreement with Walmart to jointly establish a new fintech accelerator under the name TailFin Labs, LLC (“TailFin”), with a mission to develop innovative products, services and technologies that sit at the intersection of retail shopping and consumer financial services. The entity is majority-owned by Walmart and was formed with a focus on developing tech-enabled solutions to integrate omni-channel retail shopping and financial services. We hold a 20% ownership interest in the entity, in exchange for annual capital contributions of $35.0 million per year that were made from January 2020 through January 2024. Our final payment under this commitment was made in January 2024.

We account for our investment in TailFin under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recorded at cost and the investment is subsequently adjusted for, among other things, its proportionate share of earnings or losses. However, given the capital structure of the TailFin arrangement, we apply the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value ("HLBV") method to determine the allocation of profits and losses since our liquidation rights and priorities, as defined by the agreement, differ from our underlying ownership interest. The HLBV method calculates the proceeds that would be attributable to each partner in an investment based on the liquidation provisions of the agreement if the partnership was to be liquidated at book value as of the balance sheet date. Each partner’s allocation of income or loss in the period is equal to the change in the amount of net equity they are legally able to claim based on a hypothetical liquidation of the entity at the end of a reporting period compared to the

Since inception, TailFin has incurred operating expenses, but has not generated any operating revenues to date. Use of capital has been primarily allocated to marketing of Walmart's deposit account program and for employee salaries and other professional services focused on developing TailFin's project initiatives. While TailFin's overall objectives have remained unchanged, it is uncertain whether any new products or services will be successfully introduced through the venture. Any future economic benefits derived from products or services developed by TailFin will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the parties.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our net investment in TailFin amounted to approximately $40.1 million and $41.8 million, respectively, and is included in the long-term portion of prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Under the HLBV method and based on the terms of the agreement, we recorded equity in losses attributable to TailFin of approximately $1.7 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a component of other income and expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

In April 2025, we entered into an amendment which provides for us to continue serving as the issuing bank and program manager for the Walmart MoneyCard suite of reloadable debit card products, and entered into additional amendments pursuant to which we distribute our various products and services, including certain Green Dot-branded products and reload services through the Green Dot Network, at Walmart stores (collectively, the “Agreements”). The amended term of the Agreements expires on January 31, 2033, subject to an automatic one-year renewal provision under the terms of the arrangements. In consideration of the amended Agreements, we and the assignee of Walmart Inc. and its subsidiary parties, RNBW Ventures Inc. (“RNBW”), agreed to cause TailFin to pay RNBW a one-time, non-refundable incentive payment in the amount of $70 million, which we recorded as a component of equity in losses attributable to TailFin during the second quarter of 2025 under our HLBV method of accounting.

Our equity method investments also include an investment held by our bank, which amounted to $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Equity in earnings and losses from this investment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not significant.
