Board discusses multi-year reserve targets, pacing and rate implications for GreenBox rollout

Members examined reserve forecasts and implementation timing: staff and board discussed targets of $200,000–$250,000 in reserves, options to add $100,000–$200,000 annually, and the possibility that a $200 annual reserve target equates to roughly a $16 rate increase in modeling.
