Does it matter what bank I open 529 at?

Why would you use a bank, and not go to a mutual fund family directly?

It's essentially a bank account that provides higher returns than traditional savings accounts (starting at 2% APY) and gives you FDIC Insurance protection.

For Virginia, go to http://www.virginia529.com/invest/ and open the account there.

The inVEST direct-sold investment product line has age-targeted funds, getting more conservative as your child approaches college age.
