IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOADING YOUR CARD, ACCESSING YOUR CASH AND USING YOUR CARD

Loading Your Card


3/18

You may add funds to your Card, called "value loading", at any time subject to the following limitations. When using direct deposit to

initially fund your Card, the minimum amount and maximum amount of each initial value load is $0.01 and $10,000,

respectively. When using direct deposit to add value to your Card, the minimum amount and maximum amount of each value reload

is $0.01 and $10,000, respectively. When using direct deposit, the maximum number of times you may load your card per month is

twenty (20) and the sum of all your loads in a given month may not exceed $15,000 per month.

The maximum balance in your Card Account cannot exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) at any point in time. Any load may

be rejected in whole or in part at any time at our discretion if the amount of such load may cause the maximum balance in your Card

Account to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) at any point in time. You will typically have access to funds loaded to your

Card Account via direct deposit on the same day received by us which is the effective date for such direct deposit. You should check

with your payroll or benefits provider to determine the effective date for any direct deposit you have instructed your payroll or

benefits provider to load to your Card.

We may increase or decrease these limits from time to time in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to accept or reject any

request to reload value to the Card at our sole discretion. The Card may only be reloaded by the Cardholder. You may load your

Card with cash via a GreenDot MoneyPak. For details on how to load your Card, how much you can load to your Card, and the

limits on how much you can load to your Card using the GreenDot MoneyPak, please see the back of your

GreenDot MoneyPak. You will typically have access to funds you load to your Card Account via cash within one (1) hour of such

load.

Presenting personal checks, cashiers checks, and money orders to the Issuer are not an acceptable form of loading. All checks

and money orders sent to the Issuer for Card loading will be returned unless the full amount may be applied towards a negative

balance, in which case the check or money order may or may not be loaded to the Card at the discretion of the Issuer.

Direct Deposit Account

To initiate direct deposits to your Card Account, you may use the direct deposit form available at www.achievecard.comor that was

included in the AchieveCard package mailed to you. Your employer may also have a form you can use. The bank routing number

and direct deposit account number are for the purpose of initiating direct deposits to your prepaid Card Account only. You are not

authorized to provide your bank routing number and direct deposit account number to anyone other than your employer, benefits

provider or payer and merchants to whom you have preauthorized for direct debits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits

made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, the person or company making the deposit

may tell you every time they send us the money. You may also call us at 1-800-486-0273 to find out whether or not your direct

deposit has been made.

Preauthorized Transfers and Stop Payment

Your prepaid Card Account and associated direct deposit account number can be used for preauthorized direct debits from

merchants or from utility or Internet service providers. If presented for payment, these preauthorized direct debits will be processed

and your payment to the merchant or provider will be processed. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of

your account, you can stop any of these payments if you follow these steps.

Call us at 1-800-486-0273 or write us at AchieveCard Prepaid MasterCard; Attn: Disputes Department; PMB 296 P.O. Box 200255;

Austin, Texas 78720 in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be

made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. If these

regular payments vary in amount, the person you are going to pay should tell you ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be

made and how much it will be. If you notify us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is

scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Using Your Card/Features

The maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per day is two thousand, five hundred dollars ($2,500.00). The maximum

value of your Card is restricted to ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00).

You are permitted to conduct up to twenty-five (25) point-of-sale (POS) purchase transactions per day. The maximum POS

purchase amount is two thousand, five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) per transaction, up to a maximum of two thousand, five hundred

dollars ($2,500.00) per day.

You may use your Card everywhere MasterCard debit cards are accepted to purchase or lease goods or services, obtain balances,

or withdraw cash wherever MasterCard, Maestro, Cirrus , NYCE, STAR, or Allpoint debit cards are accepted as long as

you do not exceed the value available in your Card Account. Some merchants do not allow Cardholders to conduct split transactions

where you would use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and pay the remainder of the balance with another form of

legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to debit only

the exact amount of funds available in your Card Account from the Card Account. You must then arrange to pay the difference using

another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the

merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping your Card, your Card is likely to be declined.

If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser ("pay at the pump"), the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount up

to one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) or more. If your Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds available,

we recommend you pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. If you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental

purchase, or for similar purchases, the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to

twenty percent (20%) or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. Any

preauthorization amount will place a "hold" on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your

purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. It may take several

days for the hold to be removed, depending upon the merchant and type of transaction involved. During the hold period, you will not

have access to the preauthorized amount.

If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal

effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you

can make on your Card. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use your Card for online gambling, or any illegal

transaction.


5/18

Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce your Available Balance by the amount of the transaction and any

applicable fees. You cannot use the Card, either in a single transaction or a series of transactions, if the amount of the transaction(s)

exceed(s) your Available Balance. Nevertheless, if the amount of a transaction exceeds your Available Balance, you shall remain

fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees.

You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of your Card. If you authorize

a transaction from your Card Account and then fail to make the purchase or payment of the item as planned, the approval may result

in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days. Certain transactions including, but not limited to all transactions relating

to car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days.

Receipts

You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your

transactions and receipts.

Cash Access

With your PIN, you may use your Card to obtain cash from any Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") or POS device, as permissible by

a merchant, that bears the MasterCard, Cirrus, Maestro, NYCE, STAR or Allpoint Acceptance Mark. All ATM transactions

are treated as cash withdrawal transactions. You are permitted up to eight (8) ATM withdrawals per day. The maximum withdrawal

amount is three hundred dollars ($300.00), up to a maximum withdrawal amount of six hundred dollars ($600.00) per day. The

maximum withdrawal amount for international ATM transactions is three hundred dollars ($300.00), up to a maximum withdrawal

amount of three hundred dollars ($300.00) per day.

Any funds withdrawn from a POS device or through a participating bank (over the counter withdrawal) per day will be subtracted

from the available balance of your Card Account. . Any funds withdrawn from a POS device will be subject to the maximum amount

that can be spent on your Card Account per day and subject to the available balance in your Card Account.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FEES CHARGED TO YOUR CARD ACCOUNT

All fees assessed by us are deducted from your Card Account available balance. If your available balance is insufficient to

cover any transaction amount or any transaction fee(s) assessed or both, the transaction may be declined. Furthermore, if

your available balance is insufficient to cover the Monthly Maintenance Fee assessed, your card account will be drawn

negative for any portion of the Monthly Maintenance Fee that is not covered by your available balance. Please be aware

that when you reload your Card, your available balance will first be applied to cover the portion of the Monthly

Maintenance Fee that drew your balance negative before any transaction activity is processed to your Card Account. We

will close your Card Account no later than 90 days, if it continuously maintains a negative balance from the date of the first

negative balance drawn. We reserve the right to offset any negative balance by any current or future funds you may load

to or maintain in your Card Account or any other Card or Card Account you maintain with us now or in the future.

NOTE: If you use an ATM that does not have the Allpoint Surcharge Acceptance Mark for any transaction, including a

balance inquiry, you may be charged a fee by the ATM owner or operator in addition to our fee(s) stated above even if you

do not complete a withdrawal. This ATM fee is a third party fee assessed by such individual ATM owner or operator and is

not assessed by us. Such third party ATM fee will be charged to your Card Account in addition to any fee(s) stated above.

Non-MasterCard Debit Transactions

New procedures are in effect that may impact you when you use your Card at certain merchant locations. In the past, transactions

have been processed as MasterCard debit transactions unless you entered a PIN. Now, if you do not enter a PIN, transactions may

be processed as either a MasterCard debit transaction or as a STAR or NYCE transaction.

Merchants are responsible for and must provide you with a clear method of choosing to make a MasterCard debit transaction if they

support the option. Please be advised that should you choose to use the STAR or NYCE network when making a transaction

without a PIN, different terms may apply. Certain protections and rights applicable only to MasterCard debit transactions as

described in this Agreement will not apply to transactions processed on the STAR or NYCE network. Please refer to the section

of this Agreement titled "Your Liability for Unauthorized Transactions" for a description of these rights and protections applicable to

MasterCard debit and non-MasterCard debit transactions.

To initiate a MasterCard debit transaction at the POS, swipe your Card through a POS terminal, sign the receipt, or provide your

Card number for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase. To initiate a non-MasterCard debit transaction at the POS, enter your

PIN at the POS terminal or provide your Card number after clearly indicating a preference to route your transaction as a non-

MasterCard debit transaction for certain bill payment, mail order, telephone, or Internet purchases.

Charges Made in Foreign Currencies

If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, the amount

deducted from your Card Account will be converted by MasterCard International, Incorporated into an amount in the currency of your

Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is

a rate selected by MasterCard International, Incorporated from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the

applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate MasterCard International, Incorporated itself receives, or the

government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a

currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, MasterCard International, Incorporated may assess a foreign

currency conversion fee of 2.95% of the transaction amount and will retain this amount as compensation for its

services.Transactions made outside of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia are also subject to this conversion fee even

if they are completed in U.S. currency.

Returns and Refunds

If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card

Account for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of that merchant. The Issuer is not responsible for the delivery, quality,

safety, legality or any other aspects of goods or services that you purchase from others with a Card. All such disputes must be

addressed and handled directly with the merchant from whom those goods or services were provided.

Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

If we do not properly complete a transaction initiated using your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement

with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages: however, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

(1) If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Card Account to complete the transaction;

(2) If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;

(3) If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;(4) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when

you initiated the transaction;

(5) If access to your Card Account has been blocked after you reported your Card lost or stolen;

(6) If there is a hold on your funds or your funds in your Card Account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting

their use;

(7) If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;

(8) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the

transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or

(9) Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you excludes us from such liability.

Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

Contact us immediately at 1- 800 486-0273 if you believe your Card was lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way to minimize your

possible losses. If you believe your Card has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer funds from your

Card Account without your permission, you could lose all the money in your Card Account. If you notify us within two (2) business

days after your learn of the loss or theft of your Card, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card without your

permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card and we can prove

that we could have stopped someone from using your Card without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose

as much as $500.00.

Also, if your statement shows transactions that you did not make, including those made by Card, code or other means, notify us at

once. If you do not notify us in writing within sixty (60) days from the earlier of the date you electronically access your Card Account,

provided that the electronic history reflects the transfer, or the date we sent the FIRST written history of your Card Account

transactions at your request, then you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have

stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods. If your Card has

been lost or stolen, we will close your Card Account to keep losses down.

days of the earlier of (i) the loss or theft of your Card or (ii) the unauthorized transaction(s) and you were not negligent or fraudulent

in the handling of your Card. If you do not report such losses due to such unauthorized non-PIN based MasterCard debit

transactions within the timeframe stated above, your liability for such losses will not be limited by and such losses will not qualify for

the MasterCard Zero Liability Policy. If a loss qualifies for handling under the MasterCard Zero Liability Policy, we will issue a

Arbitration Provision

Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California except to the extent governed by federal

law. This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16 ("FAA").

Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration Provision. Arbitration is a process in which persons with a dispute: (a) waive their rights to file a

lawsuit and proceed in court and to have a jury trial to resolve their disputes; and (b) agree, instead, to submit their disputes to a

neutral third person (an "arbitrator") for a decision. Each party to the dispute has an opportunity to present some evidence to the

arbitrator. Pre-arbitration discovery may be limited. Arbitration proceedings are private and less formal than court trials. The

arbitrator will issue a final and binding decision resolving the dispute, which may be enforced as a court judgment. A court rarely

overturns an arbitrator's decision. We have a policy of arbitrating all disputes with customers which cannot be resolved in a small

claims tribunal, including the scope and validity of this Arbitration Provision and any right you may have to participate in an alleged

class action. THEREFORE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

For purposes of this Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration Provision, the words "dispute" and "disputes" are given the broadest

possible meaning and include, without limitation (a) all claims, disputes, or controversies arising from or relating directly or indirectly

to the signing of this Arbitration Provision, the validity and scope of this Arbitration Provision and any claim or attempt to set aside

this Arbitration Provision; (b) all federal or state law claims, disputes or controversies, arising from or relating directly or indirectly to

the Loan Agreement, the information you gave us before entering into this Agreement, including the customer information

application, and/or any past agreement or agreements between you and us; (c) all counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party

claims; (d) all common law claims, based upon contract, tort, fraud, or other intentional torts; (e) all claims based upon a violation of

any state or federal constitution, statute or regulation; (f) all claims asserted by us against you, including claims for money damages

to collect any sum we claim you owe us; (g) all claims asserted by you individually against us and/or any of our employees, agents,

directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, members, parent company or affiliated entities (hereinafter collectively

referred to as "related third parties"), including claims for money damages and/or equitable or injunctive relief; (h) all claims asserted

on your behalf by another person; (i) all claims asserted by you as a private attorney general, as a representative and member of a

class of persons, or in any other representative capacity, against us and/or related third parties (hereinafter referred to as"Representative Claims"); and/or (j) all claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the disclosure by us or related third

parties of any non-public personal information about you.

1. You acknowledge and agree that by entering into this Arbitration Provision:

(a) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ALLEGED AGAINST US OR

RELATED THIRD PARTIES;


14/18

(b) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A COURT, OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS TRIBUNAL, RESOLVE ANY

DISPUTE ALLEGED AGAINST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES; and

(c) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN

ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY

LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.

2. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 below, all disputes including any Representative Claims against us and/or related third parties

shall be resolved by binding arbitration only on an individual basis with you. THEREFORE, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT

CONDUCT CLASS ARBITRATION; THAT IS, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE,

AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY FOR OTHERS IN THE ARBITRATION.

3. Any party to a dispute, including related third parties, may send the other party written notice by certified mail return receipt

requested of their intent to arbitrate and setting forth the subject of the dispute along with the relief requested, even if a lawsuit has

been filed. Regardless of who demands arbitration, you shall have the right to select any of the following arbitration organizations to

administer the arbitration: the American Arbitration Association (1-800-778-7879) http://www.adr.org or JAMS (1-800-352-5267)

http://www.jamsadr.com. The parties may also agree to select an arbitrator who resides within your federal judicial district who is an

attorney, retired judge, or arbitrator registered and in good standing with an arbitration association, and arbitrate in accordance with

such arbitrators rules. The party receiving notice of arbitration will respond in writing by certified mail return receipt requested within

twenty (20) days. If you demand arbitration, you must inform us in your demand of the arbitration organization you have selected or

whether you desire to select a local arbitrator. If related third parties or we demand arbitration, you must notify us within twenty (20)

days in writing by certified mail return receipt requested of your decision to select an arbitration organization. If you fail to notify us,

then we have the right to select an arbitration organization. The parties to such dispute will be governed by the rules and procedures

of such arbitration organization applicable to consumer disputes, to the extent those rules and procedures do not contradict theexpress terms of this Arbitration Provision, including the limitations on the arbitrator below. You may obtain a copy of the rules and

procedures by contacting the arbitration organization l isted above.

4. Regardless of who demands arbitration, at your request we will pay your portion of the arbitration expenses, including the filing,

administrative, hearing and arbitrator's fees ("Arbitration Fees"). Throughout the arbitration, each party shall bear his or her own

attorneys' fees and expenses, such as witness and expert witness fees. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law

consistent with the FAA, and applicable statutes of limitation, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitration

hearing will be conducted in the county of your residence. The arbitrator may decide, with or without a hearing, any motion that is

substantially similar to a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or a motion for summary judgment. In conducting the arbitration

proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence. If allowed by statute or applicablelaw, the arbitrator may award statutory damages and/or reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. If the arbitrator renders a decision

or an award in your favor resolving the dispute, we will reimburse you for any Arbitration Fees you have previously paid. At the

timely request of any party, the arbitrator shall provide a written explanation for the award. The arbitrator's award may be filed with

any court having jurisdiction.


15/18

5. All parties, including related third parties, shall retain the right to seek adjudication in a small claims tribunal in the county of your

residence for disputes within the scope of such tribunal's jurisdiction. Any dispute, which cannot be adjudicated within the jurisdiction

of a small claims tribunal, shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Any appeal of a judgment from a small claims tribunal shall be

resolved by binding arbitration.

6. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the FAA. If a

final non- appealable judgment of a court having jurisdiction over this transaction finds, for any reason, that the FAA does not apply

to this transaction, then our agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the arbitration law of the State of California.

7. This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, successors and assigns. This Arbitration

Provision is binding upon and benefits us, our successors and assigns, and related third parties. This Arbitration Provision continues

in full force and effect, even if your obligations have been paid or discharged through bankruptcy. This Arbitration Provision survives
