Greenlight: Financial Freedom With Parental Control

Cinfed families can learn to earn, save, and spend wisely — for free.*

Kids want financial freedom — the ability to buy what they want, when they want. As a parent, you want to maintain some control over how and where the money is spent.

Greenlight is the solution: a debit card and app that empowers kids to learn smart money habits — while parents stay in control.
