According to its official website, Pathward is a federally registered, FDIC-insured national bank that aims to expand financial access under the slogan "Financial Inclusion for All"; the site traces its origins to the Storm Lake Savings and Loan Association founded in Iowa, and says the bank later became First Federal Savings Bank of the Midwest and then MetaBank, launched its Meta Payment Systems division, acquired AFS/IBEX, Refund Advantage, EPS Financial and Crestmark, and finally rebranded as Pathward. The bank operates through two main capabilities: its Payments Sponsorship business provides prepaid and debit card issuing, acquiring, digital payments, financial institution solutions and tax refund solutions so that third-party partners can offer banking programs to their own customers, while its Lending business provides working capital, equipment and structured finance directly to businesses through its Commercial Finance teams and helps partners launch consumer credit products through its Credit Sponsorship team. The site offers online banking logins for personal and business banking and support channels for cardholders; the Pathward Mobile Banking and Manage My Card apps belong to the bank. According to the FDIC record, its headquarters are in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This information is the company's own statement.
