I found the application very easy to set up and it's an effective way to teach my kids about finances at a younger age. The phone app is easy to use, but I'm on a computer all day and wish I could use... See more

This app is easy to use

This app is easy to use, it makes my pre-teen granddaughter accountable for her own funds, and provides a savings acct. opportunity for her to manage. I can approve the money she moves from savings to spending and see what she is buying.

Slow to Show Transactions

It took around 3-4 days for the transaction to show up in his greenlight account. With that kind of delay, he could keep spending money he doesn't have. I'm very disappointed and thinking of cancelling.

The app is easy to use

The app is easy to use, kids have learned so much from the learning games , they absolutely loved being able to shop and use their own cards. It’s added an element of financial responsibility. It’s definitely worth the small fee and we recommend it to all our friends.

It started off fine at first untill i made a larger deposit. I have a whole deal but I'll save you the details. It's a scam, they don't disclose any of their "policies " they sideswipe you and DO NOT WORK with the customer what so ever. I promise take my word you will regret dealing with this headache of a company.

Love it!

We have been utilizing Greenlight for a couple of months now. It has been a great learning tool for my kids! We do a weekly allowance based on different chores completed and they are able to see it go into their accounts each week and keep track of their spending.

Teaching My 13-Year Old Grandson About Money

I am teaching my 13-year old grandson good money habits. He receives an allowance from me for good grades; cleaning his room; and being an honest and honorable young man. I will allow him to enjoy having the extra cash until the end of the year. In January 2026, he will begin tithing, saving and investing.

Amazing Money Manager

We learned about this app through an ad on Million Bazillion. My son asked constantly to get Green Light, so finally did and it’s been amazing. They are learning great money lessons and have very responsible in their money uses. We look forward to exploring more of the features over time.
