How to Approve Funding Requests
Review and approve when kids redeem rewards for card credit
When your child earns enough points and redeems a reward, you'll receive a funding request to approve.
How Requests Work
When a child redeems points for a monetary reward:
- A pending request is created
- You receive a notification
- You review and approve or deny
- If approved, your card is charged and their card is funded
Viewing Pending Requests
Go to Approvals
Tap Approvals in the navigation menu.
View Card Funding tab
Select the Card Funding section.
Review requests
See all pending, approved, and denied requests.
