Transforming Futures: Introducing Greenlight for QCU Members
At Quincy Credit Union (QCU), we’re excited to partner with Greenlight, a revolutionary debit card designed specifically for kids (and their parents). Greenlight is free* to QCU members and offers a unique opportunity for parents to teach their children essential money management skills from a young age in a safe and controlled environment.
Key Features of Greenlight
Greenlight is far more than just a debit card, it’s a well-rounded financial tool that lets kids and teens make smart financial decisions for themselves. With features like real-time notifications, spending controls, and savings goals, Greenlight helps young QCU members learn how to manage their money responsibly, all under the watchful eye of their parents or guardians.
Parental Controls
With Greenlight, parents can oversee their child’s spending. Parents can set spending limits for various categories, such as online shopping, dining out, or entertainment, to make sure that their kids stay within their budget for each activity.
Real-Time Notifications
Instant notifications keep parents informed whenever their child makes a purchase. This feature allows parents to keep track of their kids’ spending habits and share any necessary financial tips to rein in their spending if needed..
Savings Goals
Kids are encouraged to save more with savings goals, another fantastic Greenlight feature. Whether it’s for a new bike, a gaming console, or college savings, Greenlight makes it easy for kids to allocate funds towards the things they really want.
Allowances Made Easy
Parents can automate their child’s allowance with Greenlight. They can set up weekly or monthly transfers, and even add regular chores to the mix, and demonstrate the value of earning money responsibility to their child.
Customizable Cards
Kids can personalize their Greenlight card with their own photo, making the experience even more fun and engaging.
Why Choose Greenlight?
At Quincy Credit Union, we firmly believe that financial literacy is a crucial life skill. By introducing Greenlight to our members, we’re providing parents with a platform to start financial conversations early with their kids and instill in them good money habits that will last a lifetime.
