‘Ever since I dreamed up Greenlight, investing was always part of it’: Tim Sheehan on the launch of Greenlight Max

New entrants continue to launch into teen banking. Greenlight is an early entrant into the space, focusing on the financial interactions parents have with their kids. Greenlight has now extended its offering into investing.
