Current expands to act more like a bank account for teens

This month, Current debit card expanded their offerings to their 240k teen user base by enabling support for routing and account numbers. Now, teens can accept direct deposits from their paychecks and then use those funds on their Visa debit card easily.

“We have added these features in response to demand from our customers. As teens mature they find ways to earn money, with this generation more likely to begin at a younger age, and to start their own business or work in the gig economy,” said Current founder and CEO Stuart Sopp. “The ‘hustle’ generation needs a way to deposit their earnings directly into their account, and pay and receive payment from e-commerce and advertising platforms,” he added.
