WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - ‌The Bank ​of ​New York Mellon Corporation has been chosen as a financial agent ‌of the U.S. government to support implementation ⁠of the new Trump Accounts program, the U.S. ‌Treasury Department said on ‌Monday.

BNY will help develop the Trump Accounts app as part of the process ​and will manage the initial accounts, the Treasury said. Robinhood will serve as ⁠brokerage and initial trustee of the accounts.
