Scott+Scott is investigating whether Green Dot’s board of directors failed to maximize the value of Green Dot for the benefit of Green Dot’s shareholders in connection with its announced buyout by CommerceOne and Smith Ventures, in breach of their fiduciary duties to Green Dot’s shareholders, and whether Green Dot’s shareholders have suffered damages as a result.

On November 24, 2025, Green Dot announced it had reached agreements to be bought out by CommerceOne and Smith Ventures, with CommerceOne acquiring Green Dot Bank and Smith Ventures acquiring Green Dot’s non-bank financial technology business. Existing Green Dot shareholders will receive $8.11 in cash and 0.2215 shares in the newly formed bank holding company per existing Green Dot share. Green Dot stated that the “implied value” of the transactions is estimated to be between $825 million - $1.1 billion, or $14.23 - $19.18 per share.
