Managed debit card?

in Caring for a Parent

Curious to know if anyone has found a debit card option that allows for limits managed by someone (me). For instance, Chase First Banking is a debit card for kids, but it's limited to ages 6-17. Does such a thing exist for an elder parent that could be managed by the child—setting limits on where and how much the cardholder could spend?

    Look up True Line card. It can be used as a debit or credit. You add money to it and you can also block things from being bought and put limits. Also you get an alert the second it is used. Hope this is what you are looking for

    Thank you, Meganhpass! I googled and see True Line MBNA but also a True Link for seniors. Did you mean the latter? I think this might be exactly what I could use.

    I think you can set limits as well with a BOA account, including getting texts for any purchases, spending limits, etc.
