EarlyBird: Invest. Gift. Grow.

EarlyBird Central Inc.

About this app

Launch your child's first investment account with EarlyBird, the simplest and most meaningful way to save for the future with family and friends, starting at the earliest age.

Investing as little as $15/month can help your child pay for college, start a business, buy a home, or retire as they get older.

THE MOST VALUABLE BABY CHECKLIST ITEM FOR NEW & EXPECTING PARENTS
Perfect for every baby registry, birthday invite, or holiday wishlist!
- Invest in a simple and modern portfolio
- Celebrate special moments with photos and videos
- Kickstart their nest egg with gifts from loved ones

GROW THEIR WEALTH WHILE THEY GROW UP
Backed by leading financial institutions, EarlyBird can make your money work harder for you and your family. As a parent or guardian, you’ll have access to a custodial investment account (for BlackRock iShares ETFs) and a crypto wallet (for Bitcoin & Ethereum) for your child. Custom portfolios and easy recurring contributions mean that smart investing is easier than ever.

GIVE THE GIFT OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM
Tired of gifting stuff? Give a gift that grows up—and arrives in minutes. Celebrate holidays, say “happy birthday”, or send an investment to a child you love just because.

SHARE MEANINGFUL MOMENTS
Create a keepsake for the whole family to enjoy. Record your little one’s best moments, from their first steps to their first day of school, and all the special milestones in between. With every cute baby photo or video you share, loved ones can choose to add investments.

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY, COMPOUNDED
Use your child’s unique link and QR code to add EarlyBird to your baby registry, birthday party invites, and holiday wishlists. With meaningful photos and videos attached to each gift, your child will never lose sight of the love that built their nest.

ALREADY HAVE A 529?
With EarlyBird, parents, family and friends can invest financial gifts for children in a custodial brokerage account called a UGMA (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act) account. While a 529 must be used for educational expenses, UGMA accounts can be used for any purpose.

TRUSTED AND SECURE
EarlyBird is committed to providing the highest levels of security. Investment accounts are held with our trusted partner and custodian, Apex Clearing Corporation, a third-party SEC registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. This means the investments in your account are protected up to $500,000 total. We also use multi-factor authentication and automatic logouts to prevent unauthorized access and 256-bit SSL encryption to protect accounts.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Neither the principal contributed to an account, nor earnings thereon, are guaranteed or insured by the EarlyBird Central Inc., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other entity. Account owners assume all investment risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that your account may be worth less than the sum of your contributions. Please consider, among other important factors, your investment objectives, risk tolerance and EarlyBird's pricing before investing. Diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee a profit, nor do they eliminate the risk of loss of principal. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Any hypothetical performance shown is for illustrative purposes only. Such results do not represent actual results and do not take into consideration economic or market factors which can impact performance. Actual clients may achieve investment results materially different from the results portrayed.

Ratings and reviews

The level of service I just received was phenomenal. I can't recall any other situation where my concerns were heard and fixed so quickly. Thank you Ciara at EarlyBird! Truly amazed with the service and the app works great. I love the creativity and ability to save for my children in such a fun way! I'm excited for my small children to watch the videos one day🩷

A fun, easy and well-designed way to set up an investment account for my child. With the functionality to include a message with each gift, he will be able to see every act of generosity that led to the total, and the impact of many small gifts leading to a big number over time. Also, customer service has been quick and helpful anytime I've had a question.

I don't remember seeing anywhere in the mailer ad I received that it would cost me 1$/ month for having an account. There are other apps where I could invest for my kid and it wouldn't cost me anything. I don't see an option to cancel my account. I wish I have never opened an account with earlybird.
