Who qualifies
Eligible Bank of America employees (for their eligible children). Bank of America's public page says "eligible employees" and does not list the detailed rules. Source: Bank of America Better Money Habits: What is a Trump Account? (verified Oct 16, 2026). Not confirmed by a first-party public source: news reports describe a Jan. 1, 2025 to Dec. 31, 2028 birth window and payroll contributions, based on an internal memo. We did not find these on a Bank of America public page, so we don't state them as fact.
How to get it
Claim the child's Trump Account, then follow Bank of America's internal benefits guidance. Bank of America's page says you can open a Trump Account through the official account portal. Source: Bank of America Better Money Habits: What is a Trump Account? (verified Oct 16, 2026). Eligible children must have the account claimed to receive the Treasury seed. Source: U.S. Treasury, Oct 1, 2026 (automatic enrollment) (verified Oct 16, 2026).
How the federal rules apply
Employer money goes into the child's Trump Account, so the account has to exist and be claimed. Treasury says every eligible child under 18 with a valid SSN now has an automatically enrolled account, and a parent or guardian must claim it in the official Trump Accounts app to manage it and let employers contribute. Source: U.S. Treasury, Oct 1, 2026 (automatic enrollment) (verified Oct 16, 2026).
Employer (section 128) contributions are limited to $2,500 a year (per employee, not per child), and they count toward the $5,000 annual limit. The $1,000 Treasury seed does not. Source: IRS Instructions for Form 4547 (verified Oct 16, 2026).
