Investing is the most effective way to build long-term wealth, but most teens don’t learn about investing or finance in school. Bloom teaches your child about these important concepts with 300+ interactive, world-class financial lessons + a real investing account with industry-leading parental controls.
- Bloom allows you to open a UTMA/UGMA custodial brokerage account for your child in just a few minutes! Plus, our custodial accounts automatically transfer to your teen when they turn 18 - 25, depending on your state of residence.
With parental controls & options, you can be as involved in your teen’s financial journey as you’d like
- Approve your teen's stock trades through the Bloom app, or turn on automatic approvals
- View your teen's progress on their financial lessons
- Control which assets your teen can buy and sell
- Monitor your teen's investments & returns
- Don’t want your teen investing yet? No problem — start them out with the lessons, and open a brokerage account whenever you feel comfortable!
Flexible, safe funding options
- Add funds to your teen's investing account with a bank account or debit card with as little as $1 — or allow them to fund their own account
- Set up an allowance directly on Bloom to make recurring deposits to your child’s investing account
- Withdraw funds from your child’s account at any time
- Your account is SIPC insured up to $500,000 and protected by bank-grade encryption & authentication
