MADISON — Wisconsin families can now manage their children’s college education savings right from the palm of their hands. The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) announced the launch of READYSAVE 529TM, a new education savings mobile app available to all Edvest account owners. The app provides a way to access information, track progress and make contributions.

The READYSAVE 529 app allows users to view account balances and investment allocations, make one-time or recurring contributions and see how their savings compare with peers. Users can also invite family and friends to gift to their child’s or grandchild’s Edvest account.

Edvest account owners can download the READYSAVE 529 app from the Apple or Google Play stores.
