Allow all possible cards in Google Wallet on Ace LTE

Please allow all possible cards to be added to Google Wallet on the Ace LTE, not just GoHenry and Greenlight.
"All possible" means the same set of cards that work with Google Wallet on say a Pixel Watch or phone.
There are many other child-oriented cards and cases where parents may want to add non child-oriented cards.

+1 to this feature. I find it disappointing that the watch is limiting the debit cards to subscription-only features to juice some more monthly dollar out. Especially given that obviously Google and Fitbit have all the tech and bank integrations available on Google wallet and adults Fitbit. 

 

So to be specific. My kids already have their own physical debit cards that I manage through my banking app. I already use that to set limits and monitor their expenses. I want to be able to add those cards and  don't want to be forced into a new app / banking ecosystem.

This feature announced today seems relevant but does not appear to have anything to do with the Ace LTE unfortunately:

Agreed I am spending 120$ on an acorns card a year so my kid can use the wallet on his device. Chase doesn't charge parents any money for the chase kids accounts.

I agree 100%.  I began using this feature by setting up an account with Greenlight, and immediately ran into problems with this company.  Their customer service is horrible and unbending to the point that I definitely don't trust them holding my money.  With all of the Google Wallet accessable financial institutions out there, there has to be plenty of better options.  Stay away from Greenlight!!

+1 This is definitely needed to add cards that my kids already have instead of having to get a subscription service to let them spend money
