Green Dot, UniRush Team Up to Launch New Prepaid Visa Card

Green Dot Corporation

The pursuit of the underbanked continues with the announcement of a new, prepaid card from Green Dot and UniRush.

The card, the RushCard Live Reloadable Visa Card, is expected to be launch later this month, when it will be made available through Green Dot’s retail partners across the U.S. Some of the features of the new card include:

  • No overdraft fees or interest charges
  • Early payroll direct deposit
  • Pass-through FDIC insurance coverage
  • Access to more than 22,000 ATMs without having to pay a transaction fee
  • Online bill pay
RushCard Live customers will also have access to a mobile app that provides for real-time viewing of account balances and transaction history. Customers can choose either a “per use” plan or a monthly plan at the time of registration. This gives cardholders the option to either forgo a monthly charge (with the former plan) or avoid a transaction fee (with the latter plan).
