The Greenlight app, touted as a financial mentor for kids, is designed to teach responsible money handling. Beyond a simple debit card for kids, it automates allowances based on age, provides comprehensive financial education, and offers parents control over their children’s spending. The affordability, security, and adaptability to a child’s changing financial needs make Greenlight a unique tool for instilling early financial responsibility in kids.
Budgeting apps can keep track of your expenses, but they fall short on providing a tailored financial plan for personal goals.
