The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced today that its Trump Accounts app is available nationwide on major mobile app stores. Families who submitted IRS Form 4547 by the deadline will begin receiving activation emails in phases leading up to July 4, 2026—the official launch date—when eligible children receive their first $1,000 pilot contribution directly into their accounts.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the initiative as “a simple, secure way for households to begin engaging with a program designed to build long-term financial strength from day one.” The app serves as the primary interface for the Trump Accounts program, which provides tax-advantaged investment accounts for U.S. citizens under 18.

Parents and legal guardians who enrolled children via IRS Form 4547 will receive activation instructions through email from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov between now and July 4. Once activated, the account holds $1,000 in seed funding from the Treasury, with annual contribution limits of up to $5,000 for further growth. The Treasury emphasized that families may access their child’s account only through the official app or TrumpAccounts.gov, warning against scams via phone calls or text messages.

The program aims to establish financial foundations for children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028, with no initial contributions required. Treasury stated that account balances grow automatically over time, providing a “huge head start on the American dream.”
