Love it great interface

@austrachilango thanks, it's taken a lot of iterations among the team to get it to where it is today! We think it hits a nice level of playfulness that has been missing from a lot of FinTech apps.
Jemma Aird
Hey guys, awesome app! Just wondering when you'll be adding additional investment classes?
Brian Foody
@jemma_aird hey Jemma, we're always on the lookout for the next investment class for our customers. Any suggestions!?
Jemma Aird
@brian_foody I’d be totally keen to see some in the renewables sector!
Brian Foody
@jemma_aird great minds think alike! Keep an eye out for something coming soon. Greta has given us all the good kick up the backsides we needed!

Linus Ekenstam
@jessicableching Thank you Jessica, it's been a big team effort, loads of testing, tinkering and refining. Feels like we are on to something. šŸ™šŸ¼

Great app, so user friendly! Love the portfolio selection, so you can actually invest a single 1% in some assets. Is that more expensive?
Linus Ekenstam
@ciara_padden - No it's not actually, we don't charge any spreads on the assets, and because all assets are digital there is very little cost in moving them around, compared to old banks. Let's just put it this way, our biggest friction point now, is all interactions with the old bank system, this is where most fees end up happening, and where most problems are. And because you can own fractions, investing in fixed units becomes less important, and percentage allocation becomes more viable.

Can't believe I spent so long doing things the donkey way. This opens up new horizons - love it!
Brian Foody
@clare_o_keeffe haha, we're glad we could be of service!
Alexandra Hayes
Been using it since Feb and I’m really happy with it. I’ve never invested my money before, this is such an easy way to get started!
Brian Foody
@allz92 that's great to hear Alexandra, our main goal is to make investment that bit less intimidating for everyone so we're delighted to hear we made somebodies investment journey that little bit easier.

I've had automated savings on my debit card for years, every time I make a purchase it hides 1€ into another bank account but then the cash just stands there doing nothing. Guess I'd be a millionaire now had this existed 10 years ago... šŸ™„
Linus Ekenstam
@rudi_skogman - Hahahaha, yeah imagine catching that opportunity. 1€ per transaction into Gold & Bitcoin for a decade. We would potentially have the largest concentration of millionaires of any investment app. Thanks for chiming in! We are running the back of the napkin maths on what is the next big thing... We'll get back to you once we know.

NOTICE - DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS. What happened to my ICO Money??? Where is your token? You guys literally took my money, and swept it all under the rug as if it never happened. No way I'm putting my money with you again.
Linus Ekenstam
@aleksfabric - Hey Alex, sorry to hear that you think we took your money. None of which is true. Not sure how you participated in the ICO, but we have listed our token on https://kyberswap.com/swap/eth-bam - where it's currently traded. If you have participated in the ICO you should have received monthly updates through the email you used to participate in the ICO. We'd be more than happy to assist you in making sure you can trade your BAM as you see fit. just reach out to me at linus@getbamboo.io and we'll have you sorted. Sorry that you feel the way you do, I'm really looking forward to make sure we sort this out for you.
Linus Ekenstam
@aleksfabric - Still have not received and email from you with the details around your participation in the ICO. I've spent a good amount of time yesterday trying to find your name in our lists, and you do not exist. Please feel free to email me so we can get this sorted, you'll reach me at linus [at] getbamboo.io
