"Green Dot is uniquely positioned to make its mark as a leading BaaS and embedded finance provider given its unique assets and powerful platform and tools designed to help current and future partners achieve scale and innovation," said Caine. "I look forward to helping Green Dot navigate the ever-evolving fintech landscape and to establishing the company as the market-leading single-source platform businesses rely on for embedded finance tools and services."
Green Dot's embedded finance platform provides partners all the building blocks necessary to develop and support seamless, secure and value-driven embedded financial services, including:
- Bank licensing through Green Dot's FDIC-insured bank charter;
- Operations including risk, fraud prevention, compliance and customer support;

- User interface including design and overall user experience development and support.
Caine will lead the team responsible for managing and supporting Green Dot's BaaS partners, enabling companies to drive more meaningful value, engagement and loyalty with their customers and employees through seamless, secure and value-driven financial tools and services. With more than a decade of experience building and supporting embedded finance solutions for partners, Green Dot has served as the BaaS partner to some of the world's largest and most trusted brands in industries spanning technology, retail, ecommerce, investing, small business and many others.
Following the completion of a comprehensive, multi-year processor conversion centered on building a more efficient, nimble and powerful platform company, Green Dot is now focused on continued stabilization and growth, and has recently added several new brands (including Dayforce, Stockpile and Credibly) to its growing list of BaaS partners.
