Greenlight Debit Card and App dashboard on phone view.

Greenlight is the debit card for kids and teens, managed by parents.

Greenlight's app and debit card equips parents with a convenient and accessible way to teach their children financial responsibility through hands-on applications. Within the app, parents can assign and customize chores, automate allowance payments, pre-set spending limits at chosen stores, and transfer money to their children instantly while receiving real-time notifications of all activity on their child's account. Children can also gain more financial confidence through Greenlight Level Up, an interactive game experience offering bite-sized lessons and educational challenges for all things money management.
