It’s more than just a debit card. It’s ownership and empowerment which your kids will love. With their Greenlight card and app, kids get to be in the driver’s seat on how they choose to spend, save, give or invest their money, while you have visibility to what they've spent their money on and how much they have left right in MySchoolBucks.

 

With savings goals, kids experience the satisfaction of watching their balances grow and making a purchase when they’ve saved up enough. Kind of like a piggy bank, but a whole lot cooler! As their balances grow, you can help guide them to learn how to save responsibly and spend wisely, with quick access to their balances right in MySchoolBucks. They’ll be budgeting pros in no time.

 

With Greenlight, you can also create custom chore lists and schedule one-time or weekly tasks for kids to complete, making chores more enjoyable for all. You can even set a schedule to automatically send allowances to your kids. Then, relax and let it happen.

Giving parents superpowers

“Greenlight has been a great addition to teaching our kids good financial responsibility and spending habits. It’s so easy to use and my kids love it! I don’t have to worry about them losing money or spending frivolously … and honestly my kids love that they can just carry their card and pull it out for purchases.”
