The Treasurer's Office

State Treasurer Roby Smith is sitting at the desk in his Capitol office. He is wearing a black suit and a light blue tie. He is wearing glasses. Behind him is a display case and the Iowa flag. Roby Smith was elected to serve as the 26th State Treasurer in November of 2022.

Treasurer Smith was born in Wyandotte, Michigan and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri. He graduated from Concordia in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Communication, where he met his wife, Kari. Smith worked in the banking industry for nearly a decade before being elected to the Iowa Senate, where he served three terms from 2011-2022.

As Treasurer, he is also responsible for administering various consumer programs to help individuals save for important expenses. ISave 529 and the IAdvisor 529 Plan help families save for future education expenses on a tax-advantaged basis. IAble, the state’s Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) plan, helps people with disabilities and their support systems save for the future and spend in the present while protecting their eligibility for SSI, Medicaid and other needs-based benefits.

Additionally, Treasurer Smith safeguards unclaimed property turned over by financial institutions and businesses that have lost contact with the owner of the property. Through the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, he works to locate and reunite past and present Iowans with these assets.
