The Trump Accounts app went fully live nationwide on July 4, 2026, and the Treasury has since confirmed the app now offers full-scope functionality, letting parents and kids securely view real-time balances and contribute directly from their phone or tablet. Built by Robinhood and BNY Mellon under contract with the U.S. Treasury Department, it’s available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Here is exactly what to do, as of July 2026.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The official app is by the “U.S. Department of the Treasury.” Verify the developer, since scam lookalikes exist.
- The app is now fully live nationwide with complete functionality, no longer in a phased rollout, as of the Treasury’s official launch confirmation in July 2026.
- Contributions are open now. The July 4 restriction on contributing has passed, you can add money directly from the app today.
- Over 6.5 million Trump Accounts have been opened as of mid-July 2026, with more than 1.5 million claiming the $1,000 pilot contribution.
- Investments are limited to low-cost U.S. index funds, not individual stocks or bonds, while the child is a minor.
What the App Is and Who Built It
The Trump Accounts app is the official interface for managing Trump Accounts, the tax-deferred investment accounts for children created by the 2025 tax law. The Treasury designated BNY Mellon as its financial agent and Robinhood as the brokerage and trustee. Robinhood holds and administers the accounts on behalf of the Treasury, so this is a government program, not a Robinhood product, even though Robinhood provides the technical infrastructure.
How to Download the App
- iPhone or iPad: search “Trump Accounts” in the Apple App Store. The developer should be “U.S. Department of the Treasury.”
- Android: search “Trump Accounts” in Google Play, and verify the same developer.
- Direct link: TrumpAccounts.gov links to both stores.
Verify the developer is the U.S. Department of the Treasury before downloading, since scam apps with similar names have appeared. For more on avoiding fakes, see our guides on whether trumpaccount.com is legit and spotting a fake Trump Account email.
What’s Changed Since Launch?
The app initially rolled out in waves ahead of the official July 4, 2026 launch, with contribution features locked until that date. That phased rollout is now over: the Treasury confirmed in July 2026 that the app offers full-scope functionality nationwide, meaning every eligible family can view real-time balances and contribute directly from their phone or tablet, regardless of when they first enrolled. If you set up your account earlier in the rollout and haven’t checked back recently, it’s worth opening the app again, features like direct contributions and full balance visibility may not have been available the first time you looked.
How Many Families Are Using It?
As of mid-July 2026, more than 6.5 million Trump Accounts have been opened for children under 18, with over 1.5 million of those enrolled in the $1,000 federal pilot contribution. Enrollment has continued climbing steadily since the July 4 launch, reflecting both new births qualifying under the program and existing families completing enrollment for older eligible children.
What Can You Do in the App Now?
- Check your real-time account balance, updated as contributions and investment growth post to the account.
- Make contributions directly, up to the $5,000 annual aggregate limit per child, from a linked bank account.
- View your fund allocation, including the default SPYM holding for accounts opened through the app, see our best index funds for Trump Accounts guide for what’s available and coming soon.
- Update account details and beneficiary information as needed.
What If You Enrolled Before the App Was Fully Live?
If you enrolled through IRS Form 4547 or TrumpAccounts.gov before the app reached full functionality, your account still exists and your $1,000 deposit (if eligible) should have processed normally. Simply download the app now and log in with the same credentials or Social Security number verification used during enrollment, you should see your existing account and full balance history once you sign in.
What Should You Do If the App Still Isn’t Working for You?
If your balance still shows $0 or you can’t log in despite enrolling weeks ago, this is usually a processing delay rather than a lost contribution, especially if you enrolled near a high-volume period. See our Trump Accounts app problems guide for the most common issues and fixes, and our $1,000 deposit not showing up guide if your seed contribution specifically hasn’t appeared.
