Good job Fidelity.
UPDATE: Tried again today and it worked.... uploaded SS card and school ID and waiting for approval now it seems.
Especially if the money won't be needed. Just a thought.
Please, tell me more. Can you send me the link to do this? I don't want to Google it and end up doing the wrong thing. TIA
I've had a Fidelity account for a long time, ever since getting their 2% rebate credit card. I like Fidelity a lot and if it weren't so much hassle, would move my Vanguard money over because I greatly prefer the Fidelity website and account reporting interface.
I prefer the Fidelity website, but wish they would allow us to use a yubikey like vanguard does. Text 2FA is better than nothing, but a key would be even better
In my case my expected family contribution from FAFSA was more than the total cost of attendance for my kid but they still ended up with a pretty nice merit scholarship.

Your normal bank will usually make 2 small ACH transactions into the youth account. In a couple of days, login to fidelity and look in transaction history to see the ACH deposits. Then go back to your normal bank account and validate the external account link. Now you can use ACH external transfer at your normal bank to move money to and from the youth account and your normal bank account.
Finding the youth account routing and account numbers is left as an exercise for the reader. With this hint: The account number you seek does not start with the letter Z.

Beware of a 529. It's very limited to what the funds can be used for. Rath IRA is smarter in my opinion because you can withdraw your contributions tax free at any time for any reason. Catch is contributions must be "earned income" so while they are super young, your contributions can't be huge but as they get older you can start a business and get them on payroll
My son signed up on Thursday and have yet to see an email from Fidelity on his end. I can see his account created as a sub account under my login - do we keep waiting? He is unable to login on his app.

There is a bit of backlog for them to review uploaded documents. I had a kid successfully create the account username, accept the agreements and get the $50 while the status still says at step 2 of 3.
For your new user to create a login, go to the sign in screen and select forgot password. It will ask for name, birthday and last 4 of SSN. You can do this on a PC using the website.
When we did it, you had to use the app to click accept on the user agreements.
If the adult needs an account, go through the special offers page to get $100 for depositing $50: https://www.fidelity.co

Awesome
Thanks for the detailed response.
Is the $100 for $50 deposit for new adult accounts only?
