Has anyone found a good way for your teen to transfer money out of the account? I bought an I-bond for my daughter (since she is a minor funds came out of my treasury-linked account to do this) but she can't transfer money from her Fidelity account to my Fidelity account to reimburse. It seems the only way would be PayPal or Venmo?

Quote from StevenL9483 :
You should consider something besides a savings account . With inflation approaching double digits, the interest rate you are getting is definitely not keeping up. ( Ally offers free managed portfolios , that could potentially return much better than a traditional savings account)
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

Quote from laidbackinNC :
I'm gonna do this for our 14-yo son. I thought about getting him an account back when they were offering $100 bonus accounts for anyone but it didn't have all the youth benefits.

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

Quote from connordog :
Your last point has me confused. I'm not clear what a financial aid scholarship is versus a merit scholarship. Our experience is financial aid means loan eligibility which also means it must be paid back. And in hindisght, I think you're correct so I stand corrected.
Not the op, but colleges give two types of aid: merit aid is given to entice well-qualified students come to the school and doesn't depend on your financial condition only on how well the child does / how much the college wants them. Need aid, which is the majority of financial aid, is based on income and assets of the child and parents.

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.

Go to your normal bank account and add the youth fidelity account as an external checking account using the manual process of entering a routing number and account number.
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.

They mostly suck these days. Were nice with matches and such when first out. ROTH or e-ROTH might be better but anyone interested in either should investigate.

Are there any good accounts out there for a 2 and 5 year old?

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

Sorry if this has been answered but I do not see anything:

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.

You can see the status here: https://digital.fidelity.com/ftgw...ype=update

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.com/go/select-account Make your account before making the youth account. Make the youth account using the website while the adult is logged into fidelity. That way the linking works mostly automatically.

Awesome

Thanks for the detailed response.

Is the $100 for $50 deposit for new adult accounts only?
