Decline purchases resulting in overdraft

Victory Jo

I would like the ability to set it where my kids’ debit cards decline a purchase if there isn’t enough on their card instead of it approving the purchase and then pulling it from the parent wallet. My own debit card has this setting option, why don’t these?

Thank you for sharing this with us, Victory. Greenlight automatically declines any purchase that’s greater than the child’s available balance. There are rare instances where kids pay at a restaurant, for example, and the tip they leave forces an overage. In this scenario, we never charge overdraft fees.
