Can You Give Others Access to Your Account?
At a glance
- You can give limited access to your Invest529 account by designating someone as an authorized individual.
- Authorized individuals can view certain account details online and discuss account info with Invest529 by phone or email.
- Once approved, your authorized individual can set up their own login at Invest529.com.
Sometimes you may need another person, such as a spouse, grandparent, child or financial advisor, to receive certain information about your Invest529 account.
This type of limited account access can be granted to someone by making them an authorized individual on your account.
Authorized individuals can discuss account information with Invest529 by phone or email. They also can create their own unique login credentials to see certain account details online, without having full access to your account.
To add or update authorized individuals for your account, sign into your online account and go to Manage My Accounts > Manage Other Individuals. From there, you can add a new authorized individual, remove an existing authorized individual, or update contact information.
Once someone is authorized as a user, they can visit Invest529.com to create their own online account.
- Go to My Account.
- Click Get Started under Create New Web Account.
- Select Yes to indicate that they have an Invest529 account.
Each authorized individual should have the following information handy when creating their own online account:
- Social Security number or taxpayer identification number that matches the number provided by the account owner.
- Account number of one of the accounts for which they are an authorized individual
- Zip Code that matches the number provided by the account owner.
