FAQS

Is there a minimum age?

We support kids and grownups of all ages. No minimum (or maximum) age here. The Primary must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. resident.

Is Greenlight safe?

Greenlight debit cards are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 and come with Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection. Greenlight blocks ‘unsafe’ spending categories, sends real-time transaction notifications, lets parents turn cards off at any time, and gives parents flexible ATM and spending controls.

Where is the card accepted?

The Greenlight card can be used almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted, online, and in-store. “Almost,” because cardholders are kids, and they have 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.

What if I already have a Greenlight account?

Once existing Greenlight customers add their Park Bank account as a funding source, they can reach out to Greenlight customer service and request to be added to the Park Bank partnership program.

Can I send money to my child's Greenlight card from the Park Bank mobile app or through Online Banking?

No, Greenlight is its own individual app, but within the Greenlight app you can send money to your child’s card, turn their card on/off, set up spending controls, allowance, chores and more.

Is this a debit card or credit card?

Greenlight is a debit card for kids, not a credit card. Parents load money onto the card from their own funding source connected through their Greenlight app. And because it’s a debit card, kids can’t spend what isn’t there. That’s a pretty valuable life lesson.

Is there a separate app for kids and parents?

Kids and parents will both use the same Greenlight app you see in the app store, but have two different experiences and individual login credentials. Parents can set up their child’s login under the child’s profile settings.

How long does it take for the debit card to arrive?

After completing registration or requesting a replacement card, your debit card will arrive within 7-10 business days. If you would like to expedite your shipping for your card to arrive within 2-3 business days, you can call Greenlight customer service team at 888-483-2645 within 12 hours of signing up. You can request to have your shipping expedited for a one-time fee of $24.99.

How do I activate my child's Greenlight card?

When your child's card arrives, follow these simple steps to activate it right away:

1. Open your Greenlight app. From your Parent Dashboard, you should see a notification prompting you to activate your child’s card.
2. Tap on the notification and input the card’s expiration date in the app to activate it.
3. Next, visit your child’s dashboard by clicking their square at the top of your Parent Dashboard.
4. Select “Manage Card” then “Set debit card PIN.” After the PIN is set, your physical card is activated and ready to use!

How can I check my child's spending history?

Greenlight has made it super easy to check your child’s spending history.

1. Navigate to your child's dashboard.
2. Click on the Spending tile.
3. At the top right, click on "History."

You then have the ability to filter the view to see spending history for the last 30 days, 90 days, or 12 months as well as grouping transactions by stores.
