Robinhood launches Trump Accounts app nationwide for eligible children to support early investing and long-term financial growth.
Robinhood Markets launches the Trump Accounts app for download, taking a significant step toward expanding long-term investment opportunities for children across the United States. The company confirmed that the first wave of email invitations has already been sent to eligible users who elected to open a Trump Account through IRS Form 4547. Moreover, Robinhood stated that additional activation emails will continue rolling out in the coming weeks as more applications receive approval.
The new initiative allows eligible children born between 2025 and 2028 to receive a “$1,000 initial contribution” from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. At the same time, Robinhood will serve as the broker and sole initial trustee for the accounts. The company also partnered with BNY to operate the platform and manage account-related services. Robinhood explained that it will oversee the standalone Trump Accounts app, customer support services, educational resources, and asset custody functions.
Earlier this year, Robinhood disclosed in its Q1 2026 earnings report that it recorded “$14 million of costs” connected to the Rothera and Trump Accounts initiatives. In addition, the company plans to invest another “$100 million” to strengthen the platform’s user interface and overall infrastructure. Consequently, the company aims to create a smoother digital experience for families using the application. Users interested in opening an account must first complete IRS Form 4547 unless they already submitted the form during tax filing.
Afterward, families can download the Trump Accounts app through iPhone devices or access it through the official website, while Android support is expected later the same day. Once registration is complete and the election process receives approval, users can activate the account and begin making contributions starting July 4, 2026. The program focuses heavily on long-term investing and financial growth for children under 18 with valid Social Security numbers.
Contributions automatically enter a low-cost index fund designed to support future wealth creation. Furthermore, families can monitor account activity, investment performance, and projected growth directly within the app. When beneficiaries turn 18, they gain full control of the funds and may either continue investing or use the money under rules generally applied to traditional IRAs.
