Say Hello to Abi!🐾
We’re so excited to introduce Abi – IAble’s brand new mascot! Abi is a friendly Labrador puppy here to help make learning about your IAble account a little more fun.
Why a Lab? Labs are known for being loyal, helpful and always by your side – just like IAble is here to support you on your path to financial independence.

Not All Savings Look the Same
IAble gives you eight ways to save, ranging from low-risk to higher-risk options, so you can pick what fits your goals and comfort level. On top of our risk-based options, we also offer a Checking Account Option for day-to-day usage. Not sure where to start? Check out the What Kind of Investor Are You? page at IAble.gov.
These options can also mix and match, so no need to choose just one! You can change your investment selection for new contributions at any time, and you can switch your existing investments twice per calendar year.

Set It and Forget It
One of the easiest ways to grow your IAble account is to set up automatic recurring contributions. You can authorize IAble to pull money from your non-IAble checking or savings account on a regular schedule so you are saving without even thinking about it!
💡How To Get Started
- Log in to your IAble account
- Go to your account dashboard and find the contributions section
- Choose Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as your contribution method
- Enter your bank account info and pick a schedule that works for you
- That’s it. IAble will handle the rest!
Don’t forget about Ugift! Recurring contributions aren’t just for account owners. Friends, family and other supporters in your circle can also set up their own automatic gifts through Ugift. It’s an easy way to keep your savings growing with help from the people who care about you!
Managing IAble Accounts as an Organization
Does your organization support people with disabilities? If so, you can open, manage and track IAble accounts on their behalf, all in one place through IAble’s Entity Management Dashboard.
Here’s how it works:
- Disability service agencies, nonprofits and government agencies that work with people with disabilities can serve as an Authorized Individual on an account.
- A designated control person registers the organization and submits a notarized Entity Certification Form (PDF).
- Once approved, the control person can assign team members (called authorized representatives) to open, manage or view accounts.
- Organizations can also generate and download reports directly from the dashboard to streamline management.
