How do I make contributions to my account?

It’s easy to contribute to your Embark account. You can make online contributions at any time, and also set up recurring monthly transfers for as little as $5 each time when you connect your bank account(s). You can also set up payroll direct deposits through your employer.

If you prefer to do things offline, you can mail in contributions via check using our Contribution Form (PDF). And if you’d like to make a gift contribution to someone’s Embark account, you can use our Gift Contribution Form (PDF) or contribute through the account’s unique gifting page.

If you’re not sure how much to contribute to your account, use Embark’s interactive Savings Goal Calculator to set a personalized goal and track your progress. You can adjust key details like school type, the age your beneficiary will enroll in school, and the expected rate of return to determine your goal.
