“Instant” withdrawal.

The app is fine. They’ve made a lot of features part of premium over the years which is annoying. The “instant withdrawal” fee is a rip off because it still takes several days. The app is easy to use though.

Misleading and scamming

Beware their HYSA

Say goodbye to ever being able to access your funds again. Unable to withdraw or transfer funds from their high yield savings account.

FAQ

What can I invest in with this app?

You can invest in a wide range of assets including US-listed registered securities, options, bonds, and cryptocurrency. The app also offers access to treasury accounts for T-Bills and a high-yield cash account.

How does the portfolio transfer bonus work?

The app offers a 1% uncapped match when you transfer your existing brokerage account, IRA, or 401(k) rollover to their platform. Matched funds must remain in the account for at least 5 years to avoid an early removal fee.

Is this app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. While there are no explicit in-app purchase mentions for features, the description implies potential fees associated with trading certain assets like bonds, and a rebate program based on trading volume.

Who is eligible to use this investment app?

This app is available to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older and subject to account approval. Specific investment types may have additional requirements or disclosures.

What are the risks associated with investing through this app?

All investing involves risk of loss, including loss of principal. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Options are risky and not suitable for everyone. Securities investments are not FDIC insured, have no bank guarantee, and may lose value.
