How can I turn my child or older adult's card on and off?

Turning your child or older adult’s card on and off is one way of managing their spending (although we recommend Spend Controls). However, it’s mostly used as a security feature if their card is ever lost or stolen. If their card is turned off, you will still continue to pay your monthly fee to access Greenlight's other features. 

To turn your child or older adult’s card off:

1. Navigate to their dashboard.
2. Tap on the  arrow next to ‘Manage (name’s) debit card’ to open their card management page.
3. Next to ‘Lock card’ use the toggle to turn their card on or off, and you’ll see a prompt asking you to confirm your choice. 

Please note: Children and older adults can turn their cards off and turn them back on without the Primary or Authorized Approvers approval within the Greenlight app. However, they CANNOT turn their cards back on if the Primary or Authorized Approvers first turned the card off.
