FHA
Bridal Registry Account
The
Bridal Registry Account allows couples who are getting married
to open up a bridal registry savings account with participating
Federal Housing Administration approved banks nationwide. Family
and friends can then deposit their cash wedding gifts directly
into the interest-bearing account.
This
initiative provides a great way for young couples to save for
their first home together. With the homeownership rate for households
under the age of 35 significantly below the rate for households
nationwide, the bridal registry program is helping to close the
gap.
Over
30 mortgage companies nationwide participate in the initiative.
Participating mortgage companies set up an interest bearing account
and provide information on how the account works to friends and
family of the couple.

may receive more information about the program by
