The so-called "Trump Account," also known as a 530A Account, is a tax-deferred investment account plan authorized by then-President Donald Trump on June 9, 2025, under the "Big and Beautiful" Act. Its purpose is to establish government-funded savings accounts for children of US citizens born between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029. The Bank of New York Mellon has been designated as the financial agent for the Trump Account, while Robinhood serves as the designated broker-dealer and initial trustee.
