On November 24, 2025, Green Dot announced that it had entered into agreements to be acquired by Smith Ventures and CommerceOne Financial Corporation.  According to the announcement, Smith Ventures will acquire and privatize Green Dot’s non-bank financial technology business assets and operations, and CommerceOne will acquire Green Dot Bank and its associated assets and operations.  If the transaction is completed, each share of Green Dot common stock will be exchanged for $8.11 in cash and 0.2215 shares of the new publicly traded bank holding company. 

The investigation so far has discovered that the transaction appears to have significant conflicts of interest, thus making the sales process and consideration unfair to the company’s shareholders.
