RBFCU Partners With Greenlight to Help Parents Raise Financially Smart Kids and Teens
LIVE OAK, Texas (April 8, 2026) — Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union (RBFCU) has announced a partnership with Greenlight® Financial Technology, Inc. (“Greenlight”) to better serve families and help the next generation build healthy financial futures. Starting today, RBFCU members will have free1 access to Greenlight’s award-winning family finance app, available through the Greenlight for Credit Unions program.
“RBFCU’s partnership with Greenlight reflects our commitment to empowering our next generation of members with a strong foundation in financial literacy,” said RBFCU Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Sonya McDonald. “Through this partnership, we can help children and families access fun, engaging tools to establish and develop a bright financial future in a way that’s less intimidating for parents, children and teens.”
Greenlight offers a debit card and app that teaches kids and teens how to earn, save, give and spend wisely — all with parental supervision. Using the Greenlight app, parents can quickly send money, automate allowance payments, manage chores, set flexible spending controls, get real-time notifications of all transactions and more. Kids get hands-on money management experience, along with access to Greenlight Level Up™, an in-app financial literacy game with a best-in-class curriculum, educational challenges and rewards.
Research shows 91% of kids and teens believe they need financial knowledge and skills to achieve their life goals, and 94% of parents agree.2 Still, teens score an average of 64% on the National Financial Literacy Test, showing a clear gap in accessible and effective financial education. Parents also rank personal finance as the No. 1 most difficult life skill to teach their children, with 81% saying they wish they had more financial education tools and resources.3
“We are excited to partner with Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union because they share Greenlight’s belief that financial confidence starts young — and that credit unions are uniquely positioned to make that happen,” said Matt Wolf, Chief Commercial Officer at Greenlight. “By joining forces with over 100 credit unions across the country we’re creating a powerful pathway for young members to grow into the financially empowered adults the credit union movement depends on.”
