GULFPORT, Miss. (November 12, 2025) — Hancock Whitney—one of America’s strongest, safest banks—is expanding its offerings to help create a clearer path to help kids and teens build financial skills for life.
Hancock Whitney clients can subscribe for free* to the new financial education platform, powered by the award-winning Greenlight for Banks program, by registering at www.greenlight.com/hw and adding the Hancock Whitney checking account they wish to use with the program.
Each account supports up to 5 kids or teens, giving them their own debit cards to make purchases and build money management skills in a secure environment. Together, the app and debit card make saving, spending, and investing both educational and empowering for the next generation of account holders.
