Credit Sesame has announced a partnership with Green Dot, a financial technology and bank holding company, to strengthen its digital banking platform, Sesame Cash.
Through this collaboration, Credit Sesame will leverage Green Dot’s embedded finance platform, Arc, to power the next phase of Sesame Cash. At launch, users will gain access to FDIC-insured demand deposit accounts (DDAs), supporting broader financial security for customers.
Founded as a platform to improve financial wellness, Credit Sesame offers consumers tools to manage their credit scores and overall financial health. Its suite of services includes credit monitoring, financial education, and more recently, AI-driven personal finance management features.
The new partnership will support the accelerated rollout of enhanced services for Sesame Cash. Among these is the Sesame Credit Builder, a feature that allows users to boost their credit scores through everyday debit card purchases. By reporting activity to major credit bureaus, it offers a path to improved credit via routine spending.
This development follows the launch of Credit Sesame’s AI-powered platform, Sesame, which aims to deliver smarter financial tools for users. Future updates through the Green Dot partnership will include additional credit-building services integrated directly into the banking experience.
Credit Sesame head of global operations and banking David Bagatelle said, “At Credit Sesame, our mission has always been to make financial wellness accessible to everyone by helping consumers grow both their credit and their cash. This partnership with Green Dot allows us to scale Sesame Cash faster and deliver smarter, more accessible tools to help people transform their finances more quickly. With their banking infrastructure and like-minded dedication to financial inclusion, we’re excited to deliver an even more powerful Sesame Cash experience that empowers people to take control of their money and their future.”
Green Dot GM and SVP of embedded finance Renata Caine said, “We are thrilled to partner with Credit Sesame to support, enhance and grow the Sesame Cash banking experience for their users. Our shared commitment to improving consumers’ financial health through embedded financial services provides a strong foundation for this partnership, and we look forward to continued innovation with Credit Sesame for years to come.”
