President Trump and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent participated in a ceremonial ringing of the opening bell from the Oval Office of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq this morning, officially launching the Trump Accounts program nationwide.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that the Trump Accounts app is now fully operational, allowing families across the country to open and manage investment accounts for their children.
The app includes account dashboards, real-time balance tracking, investment performance updates, and options to set recurring contributions and link bank accounts. It also features 15 financial education modules covering saving, investing, compound growth, diversification, and long-term financial planning.
Treasury said there is no cost to open an account, and eligible children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 will receive a $1,000 government contribution. Officials added that the program is open to all U.S. children under 18 with a valid Social Security number, and families can begin contributing additional funds at any time. Projections shared by the Treasury suggest that with maximum contributions and long-term growth, accounts could reach approximately $271,000 by age 18.
Officials also noted that more than 50 companies have already committed to offering Trump Account contributions as an employee benefit.
“Trump Accounts are now live, giving every child a stake in the American Dream from day one,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “The app now includes full account functionality, financial education tools, and simple ways for families to begin building long-term savings.”
Enrollment is available through the official Trump Accounts website, where families can download the app and begin contributing immediately. The program is aimed at helping children build long-term wealth for education, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and retirement.
