How do I change the settings for Spending Categories so that my child or older adult can/cannot use the budget from Spend Anywhere?

Changing the settings of your child or older adult’s Spend Controls is easy! 

  1. Navigate to your Child or Older adult's Dashboard
  2. Tap on the "Spending" tile.
  3. Scroll down to the Spend Controls or Specific Store control you'd like to adjust the settings for. Tap the control.
  4. Tap the "Pull overages from Spend Anywhere" toggle.
    • When the toggle is "on", the toggle will be green. This means any amount spent over the amount available within that Spend Control will be withdrawn from “Spend Anywhere” 
    • When the toggle is "off" the toggle will be grey. This means if your child or older adult tries to spend more than the amount available within that Spend Category, their card will be declined, as no additional funds will be pulled from "Spend Anywhere
  5. If you would like, you can also adjust what happens to the money after the first purchase is made within that Spend Control or Specific Store.
    • The automatic setting for all Spend Categories is “Keep the change”- so remaining change stays within that spend control.
    • You can also select the drop-down under “Remaining balance” to "Return change to Greenlight Wallet", or to "Move change to savings"
  6. Please note that any changes made to the settings within your Spend Controls will be saved for all future purchases unless they are changed by you again.
