Keeping tabs on your money
The my529 Access Discover® Prepaid Card keeps your withdrawn funds at hand and easy to track
Looking for a convenient and secure way to manage money you have withdrawn from your my529 account? Check out the my529 Access Card.
With the Access Card, you can easily access your my529 account funds to pay for qualified education expenses. Sign up for the card in your online my529 account. After you are approved, whenever you need money to pay for qualified education expenses, such as tuition, books, or other educational needs, you can withdraw funds from your my529 account and transfer them to your Access Card account. The Access Card makes it simple to use your funds at select merchants where Discover cards are accepted.
You can also obtain a card for your beneficiary to help give them the independence to take care of day-to-day expenses on campus. When they need more funds in the Access Card account, you can easily add money. You still control your my529 account, and only you are able to withdraw funds to transfer to the Access Card.
The Access Card also simplifies tracking your expenses. You can see all purchases in the Access Card account dashboard. The Access Card will not work with certain merchants that sell alcohol or those that provide services like adult entertainment, which will ensure that your money is going only toward higher education.
Not only is an Access Card convenient, but it also provides added security for your account. By using a personalized PIN, you can ensure that only you have access to your funds, protecting your investment in education.
