What makes a teen debit card different to a regular bank card or credit card?
A GoHenry teen debit card is not tied to a bank account— you are only spending money you have (because it’s already loaded onto your card). Unlike teen credit cards, there’s no risk of damaging your credit score or going into debt. It’s simple—the money you have on your card is the money you can spend or save.
A teen debit card is also safer than carrying cash—you can block or unblock cards whenever you need to, and parents can send you a quick transfer for need-it-now moments.
