In an age where tweens and teens are ruled by trends,
holiday shopping can be a treasure hunt for the perfect gift. While the novelty
of some presents wears off by spring, there's one timeless gift you can give
this season: financial literacy.
Through Telhio's partnership with Greenlight*, parents with a Telhio checking
account can set their kids up for smart money management with access to a debit
card that allows for parental control and monitoring. As a teen, there are few
things cooler than receiving this financial privilege - it's a rite of passage
and allows them to start thinking about financial behaviors.
While this freedom may cause some uncertainty, parents can
take advantage of real-time supervision over spending controls, transaction
notifications, money deposits, allowance payments, and everything needed to
develop financial independence for their child(ren).
Although this gift isn't the latest tech gadget or clothing
trend, it's on Telhio's 2025 holiday gift guide! We're proud to partner with
Greenlight to offer practical and powerful financial tools that build bright
futures for kids.
The Greenlight debit card will encourage thoughtful spending
of the items your kids have on their wish lists, teaching them to set saving
goals and organize their money independently.
This holiday season, give the gift of Greenlight! Order your
Greenlight debit card by December 12th to ensure delivery by
December 25th!
