No, Greenlight is its own individual app, but within the Greenlight app, you can send money to your child’s card, turn their card on/off, and set up spending controls, allowance, chores, and more.

We support kids and grownups of all ages. No minimum (or maximum) age here. The Primary Accountholder must be at least 18 years old and a US resident.

Kids and parents will both use the same Greenlight app you see in the app store but have two different experiences and individual login credentials. Parents can send funds, set flexible spend controls, and more.

Greenlight debit cards are issued by Community Federal Savings Bank, an FDIC-insured institution and come with Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection. Greenlight blocks ‘unsafe’ spending categories, sends real-time transaction notifications, lets parents turn cards off at any time, and gives parents flexible ATM and spending controls.

Yes, the Greenlight card can be used internationally in most countries, and there are no international fees or any foreign transaction fees! See a complete list of countries where the card cannot be used.

It should arrive in 7-10 business days with free standard shipping. You can also track your card’s shipping status in the Greenlight app to see when your card is estimated to arrive.

Bank Account: if you are prompted to verify your bank account when manually adding your funding source, you will receive 2 small deposits of $1.00 or less in your account within 1-2 business days. To verify your bank account as a funding source, you will need to input the 2 micro deposit amounts into your Greenlight app when prompted to verify.
 
If you do not see these deposits within 3 business days, please contact your banking service provider directly and have them take a look at the status of your bank account. Once you complete verification, the 2 micro deposits will be removed from your bank account to offset the deposit amounts.
 
Debit Card: Once you add your debit card as a funding source and make your initial funding load, you should see 2 transactions on your debit card that add up to the initial load amount. You will need to confirm these transactions within 3 business days in the Greenlight app to verify your debit card.
 
If you do not see these transactions within 4 business days, please contact your banking service provider directly and have them take a look at the status of your bank account.

When your child’s card arrives, follow these simple steps to activate it right away:

1. Open your Greenlight app. From your Parent Dashboard, you should see a notification prompting you to activate your child’s card.
2. Tap on the notification and input the card’s expiration date in the app to activate it.
3. Next, visit your child’s dashboard by clicking their square at the top of your Parent Dashboard.

Select “Manage Card” then “Set debit card PIN.” After the PIN is set, your physical card is activated and ready to use!

We have made it super easy to check your child’s spending history.

1. Navigate to your child’s dashboard.
2. Click on the Spending tile.
3. At the top right, click on “History.” 

You then have the ability to filter the view to see spending history for the last 30 days, 90 days, or 12 months as well as grouping transactions by stores.
