What if we don't let our kids have a smart phone, thus no app useage? Can they still login online and check their account and access features that way?
I have controls on my kids phone so they can only download apps that I approve and only be on sites i allow. Didnt want to but seems like their using the phones more and more in school.
@@veronicadensey5602 interesting. i'm glad our school doesn't allow phones when school is in session. what do you use to control permissions on ur kid's phone? and do they have apple or android?
Great question: No, Debit cards are not considered credit, so activity with them is not reported to credit bureaus and does not appear on credit reports.
Greenlight is a horrible waste of your family’s time and money. Card gets declined for no apparent reason randomly. They take your money and refuse to refund you. I agree with the previous comment it’s 🗑️
I don’t like that my parents control my money and they can see where I’ve been buying things. And there’s a limit on this card too. You can’t spend over a certain amount. There’s like a $300 limit you can add to the card at once.
@@rudolphbillups3119your parents know what’s best for you, they are trying to teach you. Trust me man, I went through the same thing with my father. Once you start listening more taking things in and letting less out, while also talking with them about the things you don’t like. You’ll understand.

Super helpful! I'm exploring debit card options for my teen and would love to see a comparison between top kid debit card options
What the deposit method limitations? I assume I can also just venmo or paypal money to my kid as well.
Can it be used in Europe if one of my kids travel there...

Yea you can i searched it up on the help page it says that it can be used internationally
Is there anything like green light that might be better or no ?
We really like Modak Makers. Check them out!
My son card came yesterday and I love it I’m old skool so I’m watching this video to keep me updated
Thanks! I’m glad you found value in this video.

Is greenlight card better or is cash app card better
I got it for the 3% unlimited cash back (after spending $4k/mo).
Digital currency is not cash
I was looking for a simple debit card account for my teen, but the app and GL card management is doing waay too much.
So are you saying GL was too complicated for what you needed the account for?
@TheModestWallet Yes. But it also seemed fundamentally complicated for simple, ordinary banking.
What did you decide on? I'm curious.
My wife and I decided to cancel it and just go with an ordinary banking account/card.
I want one
I will get my kids one and then let them do whatever they want with it
How does it compare to GoHenry?
Never have tested GoHenry
i don’t like it that it has a limit
Yea, definitely one drawback :(
Great review
Great video. Thx
Appreciate you! You’re welcome!
Its pretty bad, alot of restrictions. Cant buy to much with greenlight.
Appreciate that feedback. Sorry to hear that!
My experience also.

Oh man! Sorry to hear that! Any explanation for the card being declined. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just got one lol
Let us know how you like it

So anyone with a bank can have the government look at their spending. Get used to being monitored lol
I can see how that would be frustrating.
Ayoooooo
I mean, I like it, but Chime is free
Can kids use Chime?
Kids can’t open a chime account.
No, must be 18
@@soccer11scout I guess not
