Green Dot Becomes BaaS Sponsor Bank for Dayforce Wallet On-Demand Pay
On February 21, 2024, Green Dot and Dayforce announced a Banking-as-a-Service sponsor bank partnership under which Green Dot serves as the U.S. banking provider for Dayforce Wallet's on-demand pay solution. Green Dot's BaaS platform will handle all banking services for Dayforce Wallet's U.S. customer base. As of early 2024, Dayforce Wallet customers averaged approximately 1,150 active users and 24 transactions per month per user, indicating meaningful engagement.

For Dayforce, the deal secures a regulated banking partner to underpin its payroll-adjacent financial product. Financial terms of the arrangement were not publicly disclosed.
The partnership reflects the broader trend of workforce management platforms embedding financial services via BaaS sponsor bank relationships.
