Users of Google’s new kid-focused smartwatch will have the option to connect a debit card from Greenlight Financial Technology for contactless payments.
Atlanta-based fintech unicorn Greenlight boasts 6.5 million users through its combined “smart” debit card and app, designed to enhance kids’ financial literacy while providing parents with spending controls.
By linking Greenlight to the Google Fitbit Ace LTE, children can make payments without needing a phone or physical card. Parents can instantly transfer money, automate allowance payments, manage chores, set flexible spending limits, and receive real-time notifications through the app.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Greenlight to bring tap-to-pay capabilities to the Fitbit Ace LTE, providing parents with a valuable tool to instill responsible spending habits and help kids gain confidence while learning important money skills,” says Ben Greenwood, Fitbit Ace LTE product lead.
