“Welcome Technologies announced today the launch of a bank account in partnership with Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT ). The account and Visa card, PODERcard, aim to help close the banking gap for immigrants and will be offered first to U.S. Hispanic consumers. According to the most recent FDIC National Survey , less than 50% of U.S. Hispanic households are “fully banked”. Aiming to change that statistic for the better, PODERcard offers affordable financial services and an experience geared toward making it possible for this community to enter the financial system and access banking services tailored to them.”
