Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase will match the government's $1,000 seed for Trump Accounts for eligible newborns born 2025–2028, joining a broader corporate push to support the White House savings plan.

The accounts begin July 4, and withdrawals are typically restricted until the child turns 18.
