The Greenlight debit card for kids sounds like a great idea but after having it for about 6 months, it NEVER works. Literally, my 10-year old has not been able to use it once without coming to me to say that it needs to be verified, unblocked, and so on. Every single time I have to get into a resolution process with Greenlight customer service. With how much time I am forced to spend on each one of my child's purchases, it would be much easier to keep a log of the money he earned and for me to just use my own credit card whenever my son needs to buy something. I am closing the card(fingers crossed, their Facebook page says it can take months of repeat attempts to close).
Please don't use this app they are a scam. I transferred 2000$ from my bank account and it is gone from my bank account debited out never to be seen again. It's been weeks and Greenlight says it was a "glitch" they are sorry the money never made it to my account I have to figure out who to contact for this fraud
