Description
Introducing Bloom, the #1 teen investing app for teens to learn about money and investing!
Bloom offers 100+ interactive financial education lessons taught by Ivy League professors and business leaders on critical topics like saving, investing, credit, budgeting & more! In addition, Bloom provides a custodial brokerage account for teens to invest in real stocks / ETFs and start building wealth early.
FOR PARENTS
Investing is the most effective way to build long-term wealth, but most teens don’t learn about investing or personal finance in school. Bloom teaches your child about these important concepts with world-class lessons from top professors at Ivy League universities, as well as a real investing account with flexible parental controls.
- As a teen under 18, in order to invest in the stock market you need an adult to help you open a UTMA/UGMA custodial brokerage account — Bloom allows you to open one for your child in just a few minutes! Plus, our custodial accounts automatically transfer to your teen when they turn 18 - 25, depending on your state of residence.
- With parental controls & options, you can be as involved in your teen’s financial journey as you’d like:
- Approve your teen's stock trades through the Bloom app, or turn on automatic approvals
- View your teen's progress on education modules
- Control the types of assets that your teen can buy and sell with Parental Controls
- Monitor your teen's investments & returns
- Flexible, safe funding options:
- Add funds to your child’s investing account with a bank account or debit card with as little as $1 — or allow them to fund their own account.
- Set up an allowance directly on Bloom to make recurring deposits to your child’s investing account & teach them about income, saving and more!
- Withdraw funds from your child’s investing account at any time.
- Access up to $100 of instantly investible funds every day when you make a deposit with your bank account — no need to wait for your transfers to complete!
- Your account is SIPC insured up to $500,000 and protected by bank-grade encryption & authentication.
- Have more than one teen? We’ve got you covered — add up to 5 teens to your account with no additional cost!

Ratings and Reviews
Definitely think you should make another version for adults
Practically I’m trying to use this app as a 19 year old still learning what to do with her money, and how I could spend it to my own advantages instead of wasting it like I usually do, rather then that I would love to actually learn the basic knowledge for stocks, and learn how to do it correctly, I’ve watched so many videos and it still really doesn’t add up, so I think this app should be available for all ages not just teens, because adults need to learn about stocks too

Thank you for the kind words! We're working on an 18+ version, and our team really appreciates the kind feedback :)
Ehh.. needs work.
My husband signed my son up for an account and he got a free stock, we deposited a little money for him to try it out and start learning about stocks and learning how to invest correctly instead of just buying stocks because he likes that company… but the only problem we have, there is no way to withdrawal the funds. He was so excited he gained $15 on a stock he purchased for $7 and it grew to $15. So he decided to sell it and wanted to withdrawal it to put with his allowance he’s been saving to buy a new video game, but it doesn’t give the parents an option to withdrawal the child’s funds. On the child’s side of the app, it does have a withdrawal option but when you click it, it says only a parent can’t withdrawal funds but there is no option on the parents side to withdrawal any funds but only deposit. Hopefully this gets fixed soon or we will have to close the account down because if we’re not able to withdrawal the funds then, there is no point in using this app because we don’t have money to just give away.

Hey! Thanks for reaching out! To clarify, you can absolutely withdraw your funds from your teen's Bloom account! If you go to the parent portal, under transfers you'll see two options to deposit or withdraw! All you need to do is hit withdraw, enter the amount, and a withdrawal will be initiated to deposit back in the bank.
We really love that your son has signed up, and started his journey investing with us and want to make sure he continues to have a great time on Bloom! Could you email us support@joinbloom.co so we can also look into your specific request and help provide you additional clarity?
Great help
This has been an amazing app and very educational but i had one problem. When i bought scratch a stock on the app it took away my coins (Oinks). Obviously no app is perfect so I messaged bloom customer support using the app and they got right back to me and within 2 hours the problem was fixed and i had my coins (Oinks) back. If your looking for an app with a simple and educational system that will be sure to take care of any problem you have make sure you look into this one.
