## What is Grifin?

It's simple: Spend with the businesses you use every day and Grifin automatically invests $1 in those companies for you, each time you spend there. Fun, human investing.

How it works: Each time you spend at over 3,000+ publicly-traded companies and subsidiaries, Grifin automatically withdraws $1 from your bank and invests that $1 in that company's stock. Each week, your dollars are added up and invested to buy your stock!

Personalized and on your terms: Set a custom weekly investment limit, pause for a week at a time, adjust your appetite for risk anytime, invest more than $1 per transaction, "block" any company you don't want to invest in, and many more customization features.

With Grifin, you can finally feel confident enough to start investing for the first time. Grifin makes investing fun, with full, unlimited access from as little as $5/mo - cancel anytime.

Once you're set up, just keep living your life as you normally do. As you shop/spend, Grifin will automatically invest $1 with each purchase you make.

### 1/5 — They don’t pay you!

*2026-08-18, version 1.7.7*

Be careful downloading this app. Everything works great until you request to withdraw your money.

I tried contact support about a payment that’s been pending for about a month now. But their support has not gotten back to me 

They still have my money and don’t want to pay!

### 1/5 — They won’t give me my funds

*2026-08-04, version 1.7.7*

I have emailed the support team multiple times over multiple days I have over $1000 in my account that it will not let me withdraw out of there would not recommend at all what so ever they will not respond to me and the only way to contact them is email griffin needs a way better way at getting support or help when you need it they say their team is available any time but ive been emailing them for days on end with zero response would not recommend to my worst enemy

### 2/5 — Fee

*2026-07-30, version 1.7.7*

Don’t like that out of nowhere after being a member for a year I am blocked from acct until I pay for a membership

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-23, version 1.7.7*

I would get the zero stars if I could. The premise of this app is really cool. However, the app randomly took my bank off and now I cannot add it back in. I’ve reached out to customer service on multiple occasions with zero reply. The app cost $60 a year as well. So now I’ve wasted $60 and all the money I’ve invested that I cannot get out.

### 4/5 — So-So thoughts with the new upgrade

*2026-07-20, version 1.7.7*

I throughly enjoy my Grifin app, I like the speed in which deposits and purchases are made. Just wish dividends were reinvested instead of going into cash accounts

### 5/5 — My investments

*2026-07-20, version 1.7.7*

I’m

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-07-17, version 1.7.7*

Ever since the update I can’t see certain transactions. Especially my dividends.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-07-14, version 1.7.7*

Not happy

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2026-07-07, version 1.7.7*

I am trying to withdraw money but my phone number has changed. No one has replied to my simple question on changing my phone number all day and my money is stuck until someone replies hopefully!

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2026-07-04, version 1.7.7*

It's my first time investing and with griffin it's been a win, win situation. Don't miss out.
