This offering is not yet live, and contract(s) may change. However, you can read below to get a sneak-peak before full release! Please note: Financial Service Center (FSC) Retail is a separate service and already live.

Green Dot Retail APIs enable our retail partners with physical stores to tap into the potential of GD and partner brands' customer base with the aim to increase foot traffic to their stores, while adding value to existing customers.

Retailers can offer the following services to customers using Green Dot APIs:

  • Purchase GD or partner-branded card products
  • Purchase MoneyPak to send funds to friends and family using cash
  • Cash deposits to a GD, partner, or 3rd-party debit, prepaid card or wallet
  • Cash pickup from a GD, partner, or 3rd-party debit, prepaid card or wallet
  • Bill payments

On the technical end, the GD Retail Service is an RPC style JSON API which interfaces with the GDC system for different transactions, such as new card sales, reloads, as well as obtaining account information and voiding pending transactions.

The main function of the GD Retail Service is to communicate with Green Dot Corporation for cash movement transactions related to prepaid and debit cards, MoneyPak, digital wallets and payment accounts.

Types of transactions are:

  • New Card and MoneyPak Sales
  • Get Package/Card/Barcode Details
  • Swipe Reload
  • Point of Banking Payments
  • Barcode Payments
  • Void Transactions
