We are pleased to announce our acquisition of Saving For College (@saving4college), the web’s top 529-related media property and education savings resource, alongside a $9.5 million Series A round of financing led by WndrCo.
Starting today, @MyNC529 participants can use Backer to save 4x more with gifts from family & friends - with modern payment methods (credit/debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay), beautiful gifting pages, recurring gifts, and birthday & holiday reminders. https://t.co/WdqROo2Osm
Just in time for the holidays, we are excited to announce that @backer529 is now powering a 529 gifting experience for the State of North Carolina’s 160,000+ education savings accounts.
@rrobfarrington@realAJDavis@7OnYourSideNY@ABC7NY@Vanguard_Group Hi AJ, Robert said it well - they’re both great plans. We can help you get set up with Utah or you can connect an existing ScholarShare account. Happy to field any questions as you take a closer look; DMs are open or you can email [email protected] or call 844-SAVE-529. Thanks!

529 Plans - What are they and how they can help you save/pay for college https://t.co/Mr2AqrbAdt via @ABC7NY
Accessibility matters. Today, we’ve released our first Savings Scenarios report to demonstrate the ways modern Americans can save $15,000 in 18 years by teaming up and utilizing a 529, without anyone having to contribute more than $10 per month. https://t.co/JEM4rX97Ej
It's an honor to be the keynote speaker at this year's #529Conference. I spoke with @JillMalandrino on @Nasdaq#TradeTalks to share how social savings + #fintech will unlock a massive new audience for 529 plans and help avert the next student debt crisis.
“I realized that the ones who had heard of this plan were pretty overwhelmed by it and weren’t sure how to use it”, Lee said, adding he was familiar with fintech products and wondering why there was not a simpler way to start a 529 account. cc' @BackerTeam
