Coverdell Accounts are available as money market accounts, certificates, or an IRA Savings account — which means flexibility to choose what works best for you.
A Coverdell Education Savings Account is a tax-advantaged account that helps you save for your kids’ education expenses. You provide the savings consistently year after year, so when Trevor is ready to pledge Alpha-Kappa-Whatnow, and Katie discovers she didn’t receive that speed-chess scholarship after all — you’re ready.
