Greenlight Benefits
Why Greenlight?
The earlier kids start learning about money, the brighter their financial future.
Financial Literacy
Greenlight’s in-app financial literacy game for kids and teens blends bite-sized challenges with real-world practice to teach money skills players can use today—and for life.
Chores and Earnings
Whether they’re graduating or babysitting, kids and teens can share their pay link or QR code to receive money from friends and family—with your approval on every payment, of course.
Money Management Skills
Make saving a habit. Greenlight makes it easy for kids and teens to send earnings to savings, create custom goals, and share them with friends and family to contribute. Plus, with boosts like Round Ups and Parent-Paid Interest, they can hit their goals even faster.
Parental Peace of Mind
Teach them real-world skills with total confidence. The Greenlight app gives you complete control over your child’s debit card and purchases. Greenlight also has your back by blocking unsafe spending categories. And, for added peace of mind, Greenlight Debit cards are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 and feature Fraud protection with the Mastercard™ Zero Liability Program.
