New services include the introduction of Dollar General’s exclusive spendwell™ banking platform, a buy-now, pay-later test program with Sezzle® and new FIS Worldpay® card reward points payment options, all of which extend the Company’s value and convenience propositions.

“Today’s announcement highlights Dollar General’s focus on supporting our customers and communities by extending financial service accessibility and payment options,” said Emily Taylor, Dollar General’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer. “In keeping with our purpose-driven mission of Serving Others, we continually search for additional services and flexible solutions to help make our customers’ lives easier.”

New Dollar General financial offerings include:

spendwell™ Financial Service: An innovative, new bank account that provides customers with additional convenience to access and manage personal finances, available exclusively from Dollar General. Through a partnership with InComm Payments, and issued by MetaBank®, the spendwell Bank Account and Visa® debit card is now available at Dollar General’s 18,000+ stores, as well as through a dedicated online platform and easy-to-use mobile banking app*. spendwell will provide customers with two financial account options including one with no monthly fees and another that allows customers to earn 1% unlimited cash back to be redeemed on purchases at Dollar General. Both account options include an accompanying Visa debit card, which can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, and spendwell app-access* to manage everyday expenses, pay bills and more.

To celebrate the spendwell launch, InComm and Dollar General have waived the retail purchase price to open an account through September 30, 2022.
