Kevin Lamarque | Reuters Families can now download the Trump Accounts app — a key next step in the launch of the investing accounts for children that could include seed money of up to $1,000 . The app's debut on Thursday comes a little more than a month out from the July 4 official launch of the new tax-deferred accounts. The initial deposit from the U.S. Department of the Treasury could arrive "as early as July 4," according to an image of the app that the agency shared with CNBC. The Trump Accounts app, which is now available in Apple and Google app stores, was designed in partnership with Bank of New York Mellon and Robinhood , a Treasury spokeswoman said.

Families have signed up nearly 6 million children for Trump Accounts , according to the Treasury's latest tally.
