  • Fast and affordable

    I downloaded UNest because I wanted a fast and inexpensive way to set up a college savings plan for my daughter. Not only was I able to set up a plan in under 5 minutes, but I was also able to easily calculate what I needed to save monthly to achieve my goals. After 6
    months with no issues I am now recommending them to my friends and family.

  • Just what we needed

    The whole college thing is terrifying. Your app was a really painless first step that went a long way in making me feel like I was actually doing something smart and responsible for my kids’ future! Thanks for making it so easy to use!
  • Good

    I wish this app was around when I was a kid. Maybe my parents would do a better job saving for my own education. Now I have over $100K in student debt, but trying to make small contributions each month hoping that over the next 10 years they will grow into something big. Would hate my kids have to borrow - student loans s**k!

  • Very limiting

    I signed up for this app because they claim to find the best college savings program for your kids. My hope was they will give me options to choose from. But they automatically signed me up for one of their programs and started withdrawing money from my account immediately. I wasn’t even given the option of choosing when the money should be withdrawn. I emailed them and requested a cancellation which they said they will. And I received a refund for that transaction. However they continued trying to withdraw money from my account even after I requested a cancellation. Had to put a stop payment with my bank to prevent them from withdrawing from my account. Be careful before you sign up.

  • A great and useful app!

    I was looking for such an app for a long time, but most of them are too vulnerable, or taxes can’t allow me to use them without losing too much. But this one, being easy and safe enough to use can be perfect at this time, cause above all of this, it’s free and useful in its concept. I use this for a month and I can say that it really helps my son to save some money and to use them more properly.
    I recommend you using this app

  • Great app. Great experience!!!

    I have 2 young kids and have been thinking about the college savings account since they were born but didn’t know where to start. I have been referred to U-nest by a friend of mine and I couldn’t be happier. Everything is done through the app and I mean EVERYTHING from start to finish. I love how easy it is to use and navigate the app. All the info you need is right there. You can start slow with as low as $25/monthly and you can add lump sums whenever your budget allows. Each kid has a separate profile on the app and you can easily see how much money they have at the moment in there. There are also tools right there in app that project how much your kid will have by the time they go to college if you continue at the “current” pace. By clicking around I was able to find where exactly the money is invested. I also get paper monthly statements in the mail. All in all great app!

  • The easiest way to open your college savings plan

    I decided to choose this app for the college savings because it is absolutely paperless. I simply had neither the time nor the desire to go to a certain bank, stand in line, fill out a bunch of documents and so on. But, on the other hand, all this simplicity doesn’t look very convincing. I can only hope for the best.

  • Savings for the future

    The greatest app that provides me with all the important information, progress and statistics I need to will be able in future to pay for the education as I see all in one app.
    I am glad that finally, I have found intuitively and easy to use application that has a very big amount of embedded functions to calculate what I need more :)

  • Very convenient

    Usually I used notes to calculate how much money I needed to save for my family needs, but then decided to try this application and was really surprised by the result! I started to work harder trying to get the necessary amount of money as soon as possible! Very practical and convenient Application that shows you a long-term planning.

  • College Saving made Simple!

    An app that finally provides a solution to college savings. U-Nest makes it extremely easy to signup for a 529 account and easily connected to my bank so I can make my monthly contributions. I was also able to make separate accounts for my kids and the U-Nest calculator helped me calculate the exact amount I need to save each month. I now have peace of mind when it comes to saving for my kids college. Thank you U-Nest for creating this app!
