However, an in-depth review of the charges and the effective interest rates those charges work out to would be more interesting. Just like most other financial products the fees charged are based on the actions of the user. One can work at obtaining a product (pre-paid card, payday loan, checking account) and minimizing the fees associated with it. If one is not careful the fees can mount. This is true with almost all financial products not just those that serve the under banked market. Green Dot's purchase of a bank might lead to lower fees. Green Dot might pursue a wider market that is more fee conscience and this could benefit everyone that use their products. If a robust pre-paid product is not a good option what are the best options and how do they differ? Interesting.
