(NYSE:WMT)<\/strong> entered into a deal with Green Dot Corporation (NYSE:GDOT) to facilitate opening of checking accounts of its customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Special Features <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2014-09-24\/wal-mart-moves-deeper-into-banking-with-checking-accounts.html?cmpid=yhoo\" target=\"_blank\">news<\/a> covered by Bloomberg, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT)\u2019s latest move build on its recent endeavor of expanding into financial services, which U.S.-based banks had tried to block. The checking accounts that the company is offering its customers via Green Dot\u2019s banking division, will be linked to Mastercard Inc (NYSE:MA)\u2019s debit cards. The accounts will not charge overdraft and will not require the maintenance of a minimum balance either. In addition, monthly fees will also not be charged when customers will make direct deposits, the company highlighted. Wal-Mart expects to offer the accounts to its U.S. customers by Oct-end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dissatisfied Financial Institutions <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The move falls in line with the company\u2019s efforts of expanding in the financial services sector. Apart from the latest announcement, Wal-Mart had also introduced a money transfer scheme in April. Nevertheless, the resistance of the nation\u2019s lenders and labor organizations is evading the company from acquiring a bank charter. In 2005, banks had strongly opposed Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT)\u2019s petition to start a Utah-based industrial bank. They have been arguing that since the retailer is not concerned with financial regulations at the same level as they, it would be unfair if it is allowed to undercut their charges. As a result, Wal-Mart had given up the idea in 2007.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wal-Mart\u2019s Senior Vice President, Daniel Eckert, commented that the company\u2019s customers have been looking for alternatives to better manage their ever day finances. They seem dissatisfied with the traditional banking methods and increasingly complain of not receiving value for their money.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The world\u2019s biggest retailer has been providing assistance to its customers by allowing provisions of cashing checks and paying bills. It has also offered them debit cards in conjunction with American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) and Green Dot\u2019s Pasadena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston, MA 09\/25\/2014 (wallstreetpr) \u2013\u00a0Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
