Warning: TSP Funds smartphone app not recommended

  • Published
The Thrift Savings Plan website issued a warning to smartphone users to avoid using the "TSP Funds" app from the Apple App store as it is neither offered through TSP, nor is it sanctioned by TSP.

The free app asks participants for account login information, which poses a potential security risk.

The warning from the TSP website reads:

This app is not being offered through the TSP and the TSP does not recommend using this application to access your TSP account. Providing this information could result in a security risk to your account.
