The PLS family of financial service centers, one of the nation’s largest providers of community based financial services, and Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT) today announced a new partnership to build and deliver seamless, affordable and useful financial tools and services to PLS’ five million-plus customers.

PLS’ ability to offer customers a full range of both traditional and alterative financial services in a single outing provides substantial value to its customers.
