Frequently Asked Questions About Greenlight
Find out how a Strata Credit Union Greenlight subscription can give your child the tools to develop smart money habits from a young age.
Is there an app for kids?
Kids and parents log in to the same Greenlight but have two different experiences. Parents can send funds, send flexible controls, and more. Kids learn how to manage their own money while staying safe and connected to the family.
Can friends and family send my kids money?
Kids can receive money from friends and family — with parent approval on every payment. In the app, your kids have their own pay link they can share with trusted friends and family to receive money for babysitting, IOUs, birthdays, you name it.
Is Greenlight safe?
Greenlight debit cards are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 and come with Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection. Parents can block ‘unsafe’ spending categories, receive real-time transaction notifications, turn cards off at any time, and manage flexible ATM and spending controls.
Do I need to be a Strata Credit Union member to sign my child up?
Parents or guardians who would like to use the Strata Credit Union complimentary Greenlight subscription will need to link their Strata checking or savings account to receive the member perk.
Can the Greenlight debit card be customized with a photo? Yes! You will be automatically issued a standard Greenlight card, but you may customize by uploading a photo for an additional fee.
Can I register for a Greenlight card if i have an ITIN/CID? ITIN members may register for Greenlight. Simply enter the last 4 digits of your ITIN instead of a SSN when prompted.
I already have a Greenlight card. Can I still apply for this Strata member benefit? Yes, you can access the Strata perk and have the monthly fee removed. Once your existing Greenlight card is linked to a Strata account (or if it already is), reach out to Greenlight customer service and request to be added to the Strata partnership program.
