Robinhood Trump Accounts With $1,000 Government Contribution 

Robinhood has officially launched Trump Accounts, a new tax-advantaged investment account program created under federal law to help eligible American children begin building long-term savings from birth.

The announcement follows the release of the Trump Accounts app in May, when Robinhood disclosed plans to invest an additional $100 million to develop and support the platform’s user interface. The company described the launch as a milestone aimed at strengthening long-term financial security for future generations.

Under the program, U.S. citizens born between 2025 and 2028 may receive a $1,000 contribution from the U.S. Department of the Treasury after a valid IRS Form 4547 is processed and the child’s Trump Account is activated. The first government contributions are ready to begin reaching eligible accounts today.

Robinhood Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev said the initiative gives children an opportunity to begin investing from birth.

“Ownership works best when it starts at birth. Trump Accounts help the next generation build a financial foundation from day one, giving them a head start on the American dream. Robinhood is happy to support this program as broker and sole initial trustee, in collaboration with BNY.”

BNY CEO Robin Vince said the program could introduce millions of children to long-term investing while expanding financial access across generations.

To open an account, families must first complete IRS Form 4547 through TrumpAccounts.gov unless they already submitted it during tax filing. Afterward, they can download the Trump Accounts app on iPhone, Android, or access the platform through its website, register for an account, and activate it once the IRS election has been processed.

Beginning July 4, Trump Accounts can accept contributions from parents, family members, friends, employers, nonprofit organizations, and certain state or local government programs. Contributions are automatically in a qualifying low-cost index fund, while users can monitor balances, investment performance, account activity, and projected growth through the app.

When the child reaches age 18, the account converts into a traditional IRA, allowing the beneficiary to continue investing or take distributions in accordance with standard IRA regulations. Robinhood Securities serves as the initial trustee on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Treasury through its designated financial agent.
