¹Greenwood is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 per depositor. The Greenwood Debit Card is issued by Coastal Community Bank pursuant to a license by Mastercard^® International.

²When you choose to add to your Greenwood Debit Card to the Greenwood Gives Back Program, you are given the choice to donate the change to either the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), United Negro College Fund (UNCF). For every person that opts into the Program, we round up the amount of Greenwood Debit Card transactions made using your Greenwood Debit Card feature in your Greenwood Spending Account to the next whole dollar amount (from $0.01 to $0.99), and transfer the amount in excess of the purchase price to a Greenwood Gives Back Service Account. Even dollar transactions ($xx.00) are not considered qualifying transactions and are not eligible to be rounded up for this Service. Greenwood then aggregates all dollars in the Greenwood Gives Back Savings Account and makes one contribution to the non-profit selected in the sign-up period.

³Direct Deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period.

⁴MasterCard's Zero Liability Policy covers U.S.-issued cards and does not apply to certain commercial card transactions or any transactions not processed by MasterCard. You must notify your financial institution immediately of any unauthorized use. For specific restrictions, limitations and other details, please consult your issuer.
