What are Individual Development Accounts (IDAs)?
Individual development accounts (IDAs) are special savings accounts that match the deposits of low- and moderate- income people. For each dollar saved in an IDA, the saver receives a corresponding match which serves as both a reward and an incentive to further the saving habit. Savers must agree to complete financial education classes and use their savings for an asset-building purpose.
