Credit unions are on a mission to make managing your family finances better. How do we do it? Besides offering customized experiences and products tailored to your unique needs, we leverage cutting edge technology to put convenient features in your hands.

Part debit card and part financial education app, Greenlight is a must-have for raising financially responsible kids. Let’s take a closer look at the Greenlight app features – and why you should use it!
 

Discover Better Management for Your Family Finances With Greenlight

Thanks to our partnership with the Greenlight app, our members get free2 access to the app. With over 6 million parents and kids using the app, Greenlight is a go-to tool for managing your child’s allowance, teaching them how to budget, and more.


Debit Cards With Parental Controls

Getting their own debit card is an exciting milestone in your child’s financial journey! It’s also an introduction to the world of responsible financial decisions.

Parental controls let you set spending limits on your child’s card, and you can review transactions together to track and discuss where their money goes.
 

Virtual Wallet

Think of Greenlight as an age-appropriate virtual wallet for your child with a convenient digital interface for reloading their card from your phone as needed. If your child needs money, they can send you a transfer request through the app.
 

Allowance Management

The Greenlight app lets you assign chores with the touch of a button. As your child checks these chores off, the app automatically transfers money to their card. Managing your child’s allowance has never been easier!


Learn With Saving Games

Greenlight Level UpTM is a built-in financial education game. Your child can learn about saving, investing, managing credit, and more through fun and engaging videos, minigames, and questions. Plus, kids can earn up to 2% on savings1!


Direct Deposit for Teen Jobs

Is your child getting their first paycheck? They can set up their direct deposit to their Greenlight card. The app makes it easy to set savings goals and track their spending.
