How do I add a bank account as a funding source?

There are two ways for you to add your bank account as a funding source, instantly or manually.

Additionally, Greenlight families that connect a bank as their funding account (instead of a debit card) are eligible for Greenlight Savings Reward! 

Add a bank instantly

   3. Tap “Funding”
   4. Tap “Funding sources”
   5. Once on this page, select "Add funding source"
   6. Choose "Add your bank instantly"
   7. You will then receive a code sent to your device and asked to verify it. Once verified, tap “Continue”
   8. Choose an existing account from the list or tap “Add a new account” to link a new bank account 
   9. Choose your banking institution
   10. Enter your online banking credentials
   11. Choose to have the verification code go to your phone via text or call and tap "Continue"

   13. Choose the bank account you'd like to use to fund your Greenlight account and tap "Continue"

After the last step, you should automatically be taken to your Greenlight Wallet and have the ability to load money!

Add a bank manually

Instead of using your online banking credentials to connect to your bank, you can manually add your bank using your Checking and Routing number.

1. 1. Navigate to your Settings by tapping the gear icon in the top right of your Dashboard
   2. Tap "Account”
   3. Tap “Funding”
   4. Tap “Funding sources”
   5. Once on this page, select "Add funding source"
   6. Choose "Add your bank manually"
   7. Select which account type you'd like to use and input your account information and tap “Next”
      • • At this step, you can also check whether or not you’d like your funding source to be private
   8. To verify your account, you will need to input the 2 micro deposit amounts into your Greenlight app when prompted. These micro deposits will each be less than $1.00 and should be viewable in your bank account within 1-2 business days 
   9. Once you verify the amounts, the micro deposits will be removed from your account and you can start to load funds into your Greenlight Wallet
