my529
my529, Utah's official nonprofit 529 plan, has been helping families nationwide invest for higher education for more than 20 years. Earnings on investments in a my529 account grow tax-deferred and withdrawals are tax-free if used for qualified higher education expenses like tuition, fees, books, supplies, and computers. Account owners can select from among 14 my529 investment options that feature underlying investments from Vanguard, Dimensional, PIMCO, and FDIC-insured accounts. Funds can be used at schools nationwide or abroad that accept federal financial aid, not just schools in Utah. You can also use my529 funds for K-12 tuition expenses of up to $10,000 per beneficiary per year (from all 529 accounts). Opening an account takes less than 10 minutes at my529.org. Formerly named the Utah Educational Savings Plan, my529 is a Section 529 plan authorized by Congress and created by the Utah Legislature. Learn more at my529.org .

I recommend My529 to all my "parent" friends. It's been a huge resource for my kids.
I would give them 5 stars for a nice staff and reasonable priced options, but the security stinks. I sent a letter to the director a few months ago and explained that asking for a complete social security number to create an account was highly risky because it is an easy copy by a keylogger. After a 2-part authentication, fine, but not unprotected. Sorry to say this is just incompetence.
We have used for many years. Great returns with low fees! We recently had to call in and get a kink worked out. Jessica there was extremely helpful and helped us get everything worked out in both a compassionate and timely manner. Especially if you live in Utah, investing for education with them makes sense!
I've used this plan for about 10 years now, ever since I saw that Clark Howard recommended this tool as one of the best for low investment fees. I have had zero issues using the webpage. Frankly, I felt compelled to write a glowing review once I read that others were expressing negativity toward the company. I have been able to research the best funds for our family and make those changes with minimal pain. The returns are great and I can log in to do my own changes and request distributions without calling my529. This plan works exactly as you want it to work.
Have had four separate accounts with Utah 529 for about 25 years now. Their website is very very good. On the few occasions we've had to call in they've been more than helpful. I called in today about something and Kaitlyn helped me. She could not have been more helpful and more knowledgeable about what I needed. Very positive experience with her.
