Green Dot Stimulus Check Notification

Challengers Get A Boost

A spokesperson for Varo Bank, the first challenger bank to gain a national bank charter last summer, said it has processed $150 million in stimulus payments for “tens of thousands” of customers so far. Fellow fintech Chime tweeted Saturday its members had received more than $3 billion in stimulus payments.

Current said it has seen an uptick in users with each iteration of the government-backed coronavirus relief payments.

“Our growth has been exponential in the last year. We doubled our member base in less than six months from each round of stimulus,” Bruehl said.

Current, which declined to share how many accounts it has credited with stimulus funds in the most recent round, passed 20,000 stimulus payments to customers last April. The digital bank said it had around 800,000 customers at the time, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck.

With a large number of users most likely to qualify for the government relief, coupled with the speed with which they are able to deliver that relief, digital banks are favorably positioned to capture market share from incumbents, said Lane Martin, a partner at consulting firm Capco.

Green Dots Henry said digital banks response to delivering the payments early demonstrates theres room for growth and innovation in the banking sector.

Stimulus Checks: Here’s Why You’re Still Waiting For Your Payment

While some Americans got their stimulus payments over the weekend, tens of millions are set to receive their payments on Wednesday, March 17, due to instructions from the Internal Revenue Service.

“The IRS recently sent an initial wave of tens of millions of economic impact payments via the Automated Clearing House system,” according to a statement issued by nine banking and credit union industry groups. “The actual funds will be sent to the banks and credit unions on March 17, at which time funds will be made available to customers.”

The money should be transferred from the government to the banks’ and credit unions’ settlement accounts at the Federal Reserve on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. EDT, according to Nacha, the body that governs the ACH Network that facilitates payment transactions. Americans should see the direct payments in their accounts by 9:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, per Nacha rules.

The IRS chose the March 17 for the settlements for the stimulus checks to occur. The banks and credit unions are not delaying the deposits.

“While the IRS could have chosen to send the funds via Same Day ACH or provided for an earlier effective date, it chose not to do so,” the statement from the banking and credit union industry groups said. “It is up to the sender, in this case the IRS, to decide when it wants the money to be made available and the IRS chose March 17.”
