The Trump Accounts app is now available for download on Apple $AAPL 0.00% and Google $GOOGL -0.12% app stores, the U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday, roughly five weeks before the program's July 4 official launch.
Treasury designated the app as the program's primary interface, developed alongside Bank of New York Mellon $BK and Robinhood. In a video shared Thursday on X $TWTR 0.00%, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the app as something that "will place the American dreams into the palms of the hands of parents and children." Nearly 6 million children have been signed up for the accounts, Treasury said.
Starting Thursday, Treasury said it would send email instructions for finalizing account setup to parents and guardians who have already submitted IRS Form 4547 on TrumpAccounts.gov. To get started, users must enter the email address tied to their account application, along with a phone number and a newly created password. A screen then informs users that activation will happen on a rolling basis, with an email arriving from no-reply@trumpaccounts.treasury.gov once their account is ready. Treasury warned that phone calls and text messages referencing Trump Accounts should be treated as fraudulent.
