Greenlight, GO!

This Financial Literacy Month, raise financially smart kids with Greenlight and Southern Credit Union.

The Southern Credit Union is committed to helping families build strong financial foundations. That’s why we’ve partnered with Greenlight® Financial Technology, Inc. to provide members with free† access to Greenlight’s award-winning family finance app.

Financial education matters now more than ever—91% of kids and teens say financial skills are essential to achieving their life goals, and 94% of parents agree. Yet only 35 states require a personal finance course, and teens score an average of just 64% on the National Financial Literacy Test. Parents also rank personal finance as the hardest life skill to teach, with 81% wishing for better resources.

Greenlight helps bridge this gap. With a debit card and app designed for kids and teens, Greenlight teaches earning, saving, giving, and responsible spending—all supported by parental controls. Parents can instantly send money, automate allowances, assign chores, set spending limits, and receive real-time alerts. Kids learn through hands-on experience and Greenlight Level Up™, an interactive financial literacy game with challenges and rewards.

This exclusive benefit is available to members of The Southern Credit Union. And becoming a member is easier than ever—membership is open to anyone who lives or works in Fayette County. Joining The Southern not only gives you access to exceptional products and services, it also provides your family with valuable learning tools like Greenlight at no cost†.

Current members can activate their free† Greenlight subscription by logging in to the Southern Mobile App and linking their checking account as the funding source.

TSCU members are eligible for the Greenlight SELECT plan at no cost when they connect their TSCU checking account as the Greenlight funding source for the entirety of the promotion. Subject to minimum balance requirements and identity verification. Upgrades will result in additional fees. Offer ends 06/30/2026. Offer subject to change.
