In a groundbreaking alliance, Alkami Technology and Greenlight Financial Technology have joined forces to introduce advanced financial education tools for children and teenagers. This collaboration aims to promote responsible money management among younger generations while offering financial institutions opportunities to expand their deposit accounts. By integrating Greenlight’s innovative features into its digital banking platform, Alkami empowers banks and credit unions to provide families with an engaging and educational banking experience.

A Strategic Collaboration to Foster Financial Literacy

Based in Plano, Texas, this partnership was officially announced on March 26, 2025. Alkami, a prominent provider of cloud-based digital banking solutions, has collaborated with Greenlight, a fintech leader specializing in family finance applications. The initiative focuses on enabling young individuals to develop essential money management skills under parental guidance.

Through this integration, Alkami's clients can now offer their customers access to Greenlight's services. These include a debit card and mobile app designed to help kids and teens earn, save, spend wisely, and give back. Parents gain valuable tools such as transaction monitoring, allowance automation, and spending tracking—all seamlessly integrated within Alkami’s platform.

This union not only supports financial literacy but also strengthens relationships between financial institutions and their account holders. With interactive features like chore tracking and the Level Up educational game, families can cultivate healthy financial habits in an enjoyable manner.

Greenlight will showcase its offerings at Alkami’s Co:lab conference in Nashville from March 31 to April 2, 2025, where attendees can explore how these youth banking solutions enhance financial education.

Empowering the Future Through Education

This partnership highlights the importance of early financial education in shaping responsible adults. By providing accessible and engaging tools, Alkami and Greenlight are paving the way for a financially savvy generation. Their efforts demonstrate that combining technology with education can create meaningful impacts on both individual lives and the broader community.
