A note on advisor-sold plans: how you connect can depend on where your account is held. If your account is held through your brokerage or financial advisor rather than directly with the plan, reach out to support@backer.com and we'll help you find the best way to connect.
Please note that technological compatibility with a 529 plan does not mean that Backer is affiliated with or otherwise has a relationship with that particular 529 plan.
Don't see your plan? We're adding new plans all the time – email us at support@backer.com and we'll let you know when yours is supported. And there are no limitations on having more than one 529 plan account for a child, so you can also open a new plan through Backer alongside your existing one.
