Greenlight Card Login: How To Access Your Account
Greenlight is a company on a mission to shine a light on the world of money for kids and parents. The Greenlight card login portal and app were purpose-built for families. Parents get the tools they need to manage their kids’ money and invest for their kids’ futures. Kids get real-life lessons in earning, spending, saving, giving and investing.
Kids and parents log in to the same Greenlight app but have two different experiences. Parents manage money and set flexible controls while kids monitor their balances, set Savings Goals and research stocks. Make sure your child has their own login so they can get even more out of Greenlight.
This article contains general information regarding managing your Greenlight Card account. This article will help you open a Greenlight app account and set up your child’s login. This guide will help you understand everything you need to know about the Greenlight card, how and where to download the app. Keep in mind, though, that like this website, it only gives general information. It is not the law. It is not a regulation. It is not legal advice.
Greenlight Features
Below are the features and benefits of Greenlight.;
- Industry-best parental controls. Greenlight stands alone with its level of granularity into parental controls on spending and ATM withdrawals. No other card matches Greenlight with this level of insight and control.
- Investment platform. Greenlight has an investment platform integrated into its service and allows parents to approve every individual stock or ETF transaction.
- Parent-paid interest. Greenlight offers parents the ability to pay interest on savings goals set up by their kids, encouraging them to save and understand the value of compound returns.
- Savings rewards and interest. Greenlight provides savings rewards as interest (1% – 2%, depending on plan).
- Cash back. On the premium Greenlight Max product, kids can earn up to 1% cash back on their Greenlight card purchases.
- Flat monthly fee for up to five kids. Greenlight scales by having the ability to provide up to five kids with a card. Additional kids incur an additional monthly fee each.
- Real-time alerts and requests for spending and ATM withdrawals. The service provides real-time alerts for spending activity as well as in-app, real-time requests for additional funds needed in kids’ Spend Anywhere accounts.
- Chore and allowance management. The Greenlight app allows you to get a handle on chores and allowance through in-app assignment, tracking and assessment as well automated allowance payments. While we’d like manual approval prompts for allowance, some might find these automated payments as a feature so they won’t forget to send their kids money they’ve earned as an allowance.
The Greenlight card can be used almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted, online and in-store. “Almost,” because Greenlight cardholders are kids, and they’ve put important guardrails in place. Greenlight also works internationally in 150+ other countries, with no foreign transaction fees. No need to let them know if you travel abroad — you’ll have enough to remember.

How to Set Up Your Child’s Login
Your child can download the Greenlight app onto any app-enabled device, such as a cell phone, Kindle, iPad, or tablet, and use it to view their account, chores, and make requests. To log in, parents can set up a username and password for their child, no phone number required. While kids can log in with their phone number, kids without a phone can log in with a username and password set up in-app by their parent.

1) Log into your Greenlight app.
2) Choose the child that you’d like to enable app usage.
3) Tap “Edit profile” in the top right-hand corner of your child’s dashboard to open their Profile settings.
4) Tap “Profile.”
5) Enter a username and password for your child. You can also add your child’s phone number and email.
6) Tap “Save.”
7) Your child can now use these credentials on their device to log into the child version of the Greenlight app.
