¹1Greenwood is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 per depositor. FDIC insurance only covers the failure of an FDIC-insured bank. FDIC insurance is available through pass-through insurance at Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, if certain conditions have been met. The Greenwood Debit Mastercard® is issued by Coastal Community Bank pursuant to a license by Mastercard International.
²When you choose to add to your Greenwood Debit Card to the Greenwood Gives Back Program, you are given the choice to donate the change to either the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), United Negro College Fund (UNCF). For every person that opts into the Program, we round up the amount of Greenwood Debit Card transactions made using your Greenwood Debit Card feature in your Greenwood Spending Account to the next whole dollar amount (from $0.01 to $0.99), and transfer the amount in excess of the purchase price to a Greenwood Gives Back Service Account. Even dollar transactions ($xx.00) are not considered qualifying transactions and are not eligible to be rounded up for this Service. Greenwood then aggregates all dollars in the Greenwood Gives Back Savings Account and makes one contribution to the non-profit selected in the sign-up period.
³Direct Deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period.
