Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that all purchasers of the securities of Green Dot Corporation (“Green Dot” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GDOT) between January 26, 2012 and July 26, 2012, inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until September 25, 2012 to move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff in the securities fraud class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Green Dot provides widely distributed, low cost banking and payment solutions to a broad base of domestic consumers. Green Dot’s products and services include General Purpose Reloadable (“GPR”) prepaid cards. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Green Dot’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company’s new internal risk policies and procedures were negatively impacting Green Dot’s growth in new account activations; (2) that certain of Green Dot’s retailers were planning to start selling competitive GPR products in addition to the Company’s products; (3) that the Company lacked historical data to accurately predict how other retailers’ sales of competitive GPR products would impact Green Dot’s sales; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, the defendants’ positive statements about Green Dot’s business, operations and prospects, as well as those regarding Green Dot’s revenue outlook for the 2012 fiscal year, lacked a reasonable basis.
