About the company

Greenlight is a fintech platform that helps families manage money by combining a debit card for kids, a credit-building option, and investing tools in one app. Parents can fund allowances and set up chores or direct deposits, and kids use the card for spending. The app encourages saving with a savings feature that offers up to 5% and lets families set savings goals, while an investing platform lets families research stocks and ETFs to grow long-term wealth. It also offers a credit card that earns up to 3% cash back, with cash back automatically invested to fund future expenses like college. Parents can add teens as authorized users to help them build credit before age 18. Greenlight earns revenue through subscription plans (Greenlight Max and Infinity) that unlock additional wealth-building features. Overall, the goal is to teach children and teens about saving, investing, and responsible spending while helping families grow money safely.

Veridian Credit Union partners with Greenlight to offer free family financial tools

Veridian Credit Union has partnered with Greenlight Financial Technology to offer family financial tools at no cost to its members. Through the Veridian mobile app, families can access features including chore management, transaction monitoring, and automated allowance. Children receive a Greenlight debit card and access to Level Up, an in-app financial literacy game. The partnership addresses a gap in financial education. Only 39 US states require personal finance courses, and teens average 67% on the National Financial Literacy Test. A 2026 Greenlight survey found parents rank personal finance as the most difficult life skill to teach. Veridian, founded in 1934, operates 32 branches across Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and the Twin Cities metro area. Greenlight serves over 6.5 million family members and partners with more than 200 financial institutions.
