What's a custodial account?

With a custodial account (aka Kids Portfolio at Stash), you can buy stocks and ETFs on behalf of the children in your life—and the money is theirs when they reach age of majority. Custodial accounts can be opened by parents, grandparents, or even friends—anyone who wants to pass on generational wealth.

How to open a custodial account.

Once you join Stash, we’ll help walk you through the process of setting up your custodial account(s).

To prepare, you’ll need the following information for each child:

  1. Full legal name

  2. Date of birth

  3. Social security number

If you invest $5 a day from when a child is born, they could have over $73,000 by age 18.
