What do Family Shield and True Link have in common?

Hey, it's cool that both Family Shield and True Link offer debit cards designed for seniors. And they're both on the ball with those fraud and suspicious activity alerts. That's definitely a plus!

What makes Family Shield stand out?

We're all about bundling money management and family safety into one app. You get location sharing, driving reports, identity theft protection — everything you need to feel secure. True Link is more focused on the financial side — offering a debit card for only one older adult and limited visibility into their financial accounts. Plus, True Link only covers one person, whereas Family Shield accommodates two older adults, two caregivers, and up to five kids and teens.

Let's wrap it up.

True Link is a reasonable choice if you're just looking for a budget-friendly debit card for your aging loved ones. But if you want that extra level of security — monitoring for all their financial accounts, location sharing, driving reports, financial and physical safety tools for the entire family, and up to 6% on Savings and 1% cash back on debit card purchases  — Family Shield is the way to go. We're here to empower you with the tools you need to protect your family, confidently and completely.
