With EarlyBird, parents, family, and friends can collectively support a child's financial journey.
InvestEarlyBird empowers families and children by providing tools that introduce investing, integrate financial knowledge into decision-making, and prepare children for account ownership at age 18. As their accounts transition to an adult brokerage, EarlyBird will remain their trusted partner. Give children the freedom to dream. Through the Uniform Gift Act for Minors Accounts (UGMA), family and friends can make gifts using EarlyBird’s investing app. At 18, the beneficiaries can fund their first startup, pay for college, or travel the world.
For parents, EarlyBird charges $1/month subscription fee for each child. For family members or friends sending a gift, there is a $2 gift processing fee per gift.
