#### PROPOSAL NO. 5
<div align='center'>APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE 2010 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN</div>

We are asking you and the other stockholders to approve the Green Dot Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2010 ESPP"), as amended and restated by our Board in April 2025, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 5,000,000 shares (the 2010 ESPP, as amended, the "Amended ESPP.")

#### Reasons to Approve the Amended ESPP
The approval of the Amended ESPP by our stockholders is important because the number of shares currently authorized for issuance under our ESPP is not expected to be sufficient to meet our needs over the next year. If our stockholders do not approve this proposal, then the Amended ESPP, including an increase in the number of shares available for issuance and the other amendments described in this proposal, will not become effective.

The ESPP is designed to provide our eligible employees and those of our designated affiliates with the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount on periodic purchase dates through accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP allows U.S.-based employees to make such purchases in a manner intended to result in favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code
