Green Dot has begun repositioning a portion of its balance sheet to improve yields and profitability, with additional changes planned for the coming months.
The company sold part of its bond portfolio in early Q2 and is now reinvesting in floating rate securities yielding between 5% and 7%.
Management emphasized that these new securities are low-risk, highly liquid, and tied to SOFR, making them sensitive to overnight rate fluctuations.
The strategic shift aims to turn the balance sheet into a profit generator while maintaining a conservative risk profile.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to leverage the balance sheet for deposit growth and higher returns, moving beyond traditional fee revenue.
The company is also reviewing and potentially adjusting its investment policy in consultation with the Board to support these initiatives.
