API to connect to budget software

Carla Silvey

My son is learning to track his spending and saving over time. I have connected his savings account to my budget software, but don't see a way to add Greenlight, which is what he uses for purchases and where he gets his allowance.

Monarch Money Integration

Alex Frances

Good morning, Greenlight Team.
I am a happy customer of Greenlight and have been leveraging it for both of my young daughters.
I use Monarch Money (https://www.monarchmoney.com) to view and manage all of my finances, investments, etc. into one consolidated platform. 
I unfortunately cannot find a way to integrate Greenlight into the platform, although most other financial institutions have integrations (Ex: American Express, Bank of America, Chase, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, etc.)
It would be highly beneficial, not just for me, but for many families who leverage this solution to be able to include the Greenlight accounts (Spending, Savings, Investment, etc.) into the Monarch Money platform.
Is this an integration that is currently being worked on?
If so, what is the ETA?
If not, I hope that you will consider and prioritize the integration as I am fairly certain that I am not the only customer who would find this incredibly valuable.
Thank you for the consideration.

Needed. YNAB and many other Budget Apps use Plaid, MX, or TrueLayer. Please get compatible with one.

Please connect with budgeting software

The entire point of Greenlight is to teach kids to manage money, but it doesn’t have budgeting software. Please allow it to connect to You Need a Budget and similar apps!!

Hi Carla, we’re so grateful for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and your input is valuable to us.

Yup, there's a bunch of waiting (not so patiently) for the ability to download the data directly -- it's astonishing to us that any modern financial app wouldn't have this capability. If I'd realized it I would have picked a different one to start with. It'd be a hassle to change but I'm considering it.
