WASHINGTON, D.C. / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / May 28, 2026 - Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the launch of the Trump Accounts app on app stores available nationwide. The Trump Accounts app will be the main interface for the most historic policy for American families in decades and is available on all major mobile app stores.  

“The Trump Administration is taking another step forward in expanding opportunity for American families. The Trump Accounts app delivers a simple, secure way for households to begin engaging with a program designed to build long-term financial strength from day one,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “By putting easy access to Trump Accounts directly in the hands of parents and young Americans, we are helping to ensure that America’s youth are included in this new era of economic participation.”

The next phase of the Trump Accounts program will include account activation beginning for millions of American families ahead of the official launch on July 4, 2026. As of today, parents and legal guardians who have already signed their children up for Trump Accounts by submitting IRS Form 4547 will begin receiving emails with instructions to complete the account setup process. Activation e-mails for these families will be sent out in phases between now and July 4, 2026. 

Activating a Trump Account for your child is a great step toward building life-long financial security through tax-advantaged investment. 

HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU'VE ALREADY SIGNED UP YOUR CHILD:

• Starting today, look for an email confirming that your election to open your child’s Trump Account was processed and prompting you to complete account activation. 
• During this initial roll out period, activation emails will come only from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov.  
• Follow the instructions in the email to set up your child’s Trump Account to complete account activation steps through the Trump Accounts app (available in the Apple App Store and Google Play) or by visiting TrumpAccounts.gov.  
• Beginning July 4, 2026, your child’s Trump Account will be able to accept contributions from parents, family members, employers, and other eligible contributors, subject to annual limits.  
• Also starting July 4, 2026, eligible children will begin receiving the $1,000 pilot program contribution from the U.S. Department of the Treasury deposited directly to their Trump Account.  
• When in doubt, visit TrumpAccounts.gov for the latest information.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SCAMS:

As Trump Account activation begins, Treasury reminds families to remain vigilant against scams and frauds. The information below will help you know what is real and how to protect yourself during this initial phase: 

• At this time, legitimate communications about Trump Account activation will be sent only by email from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov.  
• Treasury will not contact you by text message or phone call about Trump Account activation. If you receive a call or text about a Trump Account, do not respond, it is likely a scam. 
• Always access your child’s Trump Account by using the official Trump Accounts app or by typing TrumpAccounts.gov directly into your browser.  
• Customer support is available only through secure, in-app or online callback requests. Don’t use phone numbers found through internet search results.  
• When in doubt, visit TrumpAccounts.gov for the latest information.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP YET:

Parents, guardians, and other authorized individuals can elect to open an account at any time by submitting IRS Form 4547, Trump Account Election(s), including enrollment in the pilot program. 

• You can elect to open a Trump Account for an eligible child at any time during the year before the child turns 18. Visit TrumpAccounts.gov for the latest information about how to do so. 
• There is no cost to open an account. Employers, charitable organizations, and governments can contribute free money to Trump Accounts, and your child can only receive those contributions if you open an account.
