Is there a limit to how much I can autofund?

Yes — you can autofund your Greenlight Wallet up to $500 per transaction. If you try to set an amount above $500, you'll see an error and the system won't allow it.

What happens if my linked account doesn't have enough funds?

If your linked account doesn't have sufficient funds when an autofunding payment is scheduled, whether for your Greenlight Wallet or allowance autofunding, the payment will fail. 

Don’t worry—our system will automatically try again at the next scheduled payout date!
