What is a USAA 529 Education Savings Plan?

A 529 plan is more than just a savings account. It's an investment account that gives you tax benefits while saving for education.

You can open an account for anyone, including yourself, for a low initial amount and automatic contribution starting at $50. If plans change, you can choose another beneficiary, or you can pay for your own education. Proceeds from a 529 plan work for qualified expenses for kindergarten through 12th-grade tuition and higher education.
