How to Activate

Once you submit the form, the Treasury processes your election and creates the account at a financial institution it has selected. You do not choose the institution at this stage. After your form is processed, you will receive an activation email from no-reply@trumpaccounts.treasury.gov. This is the only legitimate way the Treasury will contact you about your account — they will never reach out by mail, phone, or text message. The email will direct you to complete the account activation through the Trump Accounts app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

During activation you will verify your identity and your child's identity by providing dates of birth and Social Security numbers for both. After your form is processed, your activation email arrives shortly. If you have not received yours yet, check your spam folder and keep watching. The $1,000 seed deposit arrives after the account is confirmed open.

We will publish a step-by-step tutorial for activating your child's account, with real screenshots from the process. We are completing our own activation now and will share it as soon as it is ready.
