Green Dot Bank, a member of FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and a subsidiary of Green Dot Corporation (GDOT), has partnered with various media, retail and mobile companies to bring forth this unique application.

Green Dot plans to advertise GoBank through digital distribution and marketing and in-store promotions. The GoBank app will be available in the flagship Apple App Store of Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Google Play, an online electronics store by Google Inc. (GOOG). In addition, the app will be digitally distributed through a number of companies like WePay, Check, Tango Card and Rewardable.
