About Us
Founded in 2014 by Tim Sheehan and John Crittenden, Greenlight addresses the gap in effective financial literacy education for young people. Recognizing the limitations of traditional banking and educational methods, Greenlight offers a mobile app and debit card solution designed to empower both parents and children. This user-friendly platform allows parents to guide their children's financial development while providing kids with practical, hands-on experience in managing their own money. Greenlight's innovative approach has fueled significant growth, attracting substantial investment from prominent investors. The app focuses on teaching essential financial skills such as saving, spending, earning, and investing, all within a safe and controlled environment. Parents can set spending limits, approve transactions, and automate allowance payments, fostering responsible financial habits from a young age. Children, in turn, learn to make informed financial decisions, track their spending, and set savings goals. Greenlight also offers educational resources and in-app tools to further enhance financial understanding. The company aims to create a generation of financially literate and responsible adults by providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly complex financial world. Greenlight's commitment to innovation and financial empowerment has positioned it as a leader in the fintech space, transforming the way families approach financial education. By combining technology with practical financial tools, Greenlight is making financial literacy accessible and engaging for young people, setting them on a path to financial success.
