Great way for positive rewards for the kids with grade money, responsibilities, etc. For teens, there are specific areas, such as gas, food, savings, anywhere, etc. It works for little kids to college age. It works on understanding spending limitations, money management and saving to make high ticket purchases. Highly recommend Green Light!

They will charge you even if you don't activate your account, even if you don't request a card, even if you don't connect any bank accounts! And even if you can prove your device was stolen, you had no access for so long you didn't remember you had the account so the account was basically dead, and they took money out of the account to pay for your grandma's ashes...they will refuse to refund you. STAY AWAY

The app is not user-friendly and zero links for help. I've wasted over an hour setting up the account and further than when I started. Will not link multiple accounts. Instructs to scan a QR code that doesn't exist on "back of device". Only QR code is on paper the card comes attached too, and gives you an error message. I'm ready to cancel this account already. Tower login is no help and can only see the Green light accounts with the Tower App. No green light account information found PC login
