Greenlight Debit Card Review: 2025 Update

In 2025, Greenlight remains a top recommendation for young families looking to teach their kids about money and budgeting. This customizable debit card, which can even feature your child’s photo, gives them a sense of independence while letting parents control spending. You can set up allowances, tie rewards to chores through the app, and even restrict purchases in certain categories like online gaming.

Greenlight Beyond Childhood

Greenlight isn’t just for kids, it can also be a practical tool for managing finances for elderly loved ones. For parents or grandparents in assisted living, the card offers safeguards by limiting spending. You can also separate discretionary funds from main accounts. You can set a monthly allowance and block certain purchases to protect against misuse.

True Link for Seniors

For a senior-focused solution, True Link is another excellent option. True Link automatically transfers funds each month, sends real-time purchase alerts, and offers strong spending restrictions. While Greenlight works well for kids and some seniors, True Link is specifically tailored to meet the needs of older adults in assisted or independent living.

What Works Best

Whether it’s helping your child learn to manage an allowance or ensuring your elderly loved ones have financial safeguards, both Greenlight and True Link offer effective, flexible solutions. To learn more about what options might be best for your situation, please schedule a complimentary consultation.
