A kids debit card with guidance
A debit card for kids and teens gives them a way to check a balance, make purchases, and see where their money goes. You stay involved with spending controls, purchase alerts, and conversations that help build good habits.
The card gives kids hands-on practice, while Greenlight Level Up™ adds structured learning through games. Kids can explore money concepts in a fun, easy-to-understand way, then connect what they learn to the choices they make with their own money.
Spend, save, and earn
Kids and teens can choose when and where to spend within the limits you set. They can review each purchase and learn how everyday choices affect their money.
Kids and teens can choose a savings goal and decide how much to set aside. They can track their progress and see how small amounts add up over time.
Kids and teens can complete chores, earn allowance, and decide how to use what they earn. They can see how everyday effort affects spending and saving choices.
More freedom, with your guidance
Send money, set spending limits, manage card use, and get real-time purchase alerts. You can also turn the card on or off when needed.
Kids and teens can make purchases, check balances, review spending, work toward savings goals, and build money knowledge with free financial literacy games.
Quick actions in the 1st Source app
Use your eligible 1st Source checking account to fund the card. In the 1st Source Bank app, you can send money, check your child’s balance and recent activity, and turn the card on or off.
Open the Greenlight app for more tools, including detailed spending controls, chores, allowance, savings goals, and financial education.
Support for each new step
Use basic spending limits, chores, and allowance to introduce money in a way that fits your family.
As they gain experience, children can check balances, review purchases, and decide how much to spend or save.
The card gives teens practice managing money before they open a checking account of their own.
