GSB Partners with Greenlight to Help Raise Financially Savvy Kids

March 20, 2024

GSB is pleased to announce a new partnership with Greenlight® Financial Technology, Inc. to provide clients free access to Greenlight’s award-winning family finance app, available through the Greenlight for Banks program. This collaboration further expands GSB’s commitment to helping young people foster positive financial habits and awareness.

“Our partnership with Greenlight enables GSB to help our neighbors across Connecticut teach their children about money and form healthy financial habits that will last a lifetime,” said Alex Sulpasso, EVP, Client Experience Officer at GSB. “It’s a tremendous program that aligns directly with our mission of putting our client needs first and improving the financial health and well-being of their families and our communities in new, engaging ways.”

Greenlight offers a debit card and app that teaches kids and teens how to earn, save, give, and spend wisely– all with parental supervision. Using the Greenlight app, parents can send money instantly, automate allowance payments, manage chores, set flexible spending controls, get real-time notifications of all transactions, and more. Kids get hands-on money management experience, along with access to Greenlight Level Up™, an in-app financial literacy game with a best-in-class curriculum, educational challenges, and rewards.

GSB clients can receive a free Greenlight subscription when they have or open a GSB Checking account. Parents can add up to five kids, each with their own debit card. For more information, please visit https://mygsb.bank/greenlight/.
