Stockpile - Invest on your terms. Buy stock by the dollar.

by•

Everyone hates the F word- that's right, finance. But Stockpile wants to help you conquer your fear of the market.

Stockpile offers fractional shares so you can invest the amount of money you want without buying a whole share. Are you sure you can afford NOT to invest?

Try it with $5 of free stock!!

A bit like crowdfund investments, where you own shares of an investment. Now you can own fractions of a stock. Everything is granular now!

@theashtube not a new thing. Sharebuilder, which capital one bought, has been around for 15 years or so.

@theashtube Loyal3 was also doing fractional stocks till the folded

@rashidi @mlsj1 - Thanks - I didn't realise that. Haven't come across one of these before. I feel educated now :D Did Loyal3 fold because this didn't work out? Ash

@mlsj1 @theashtube Hey no worries! I have been using Sharebuilder for quite some time now. You could only trade on Tuesdays, looks like this is much more frequently though. Over 10 years ago, I would just put $25 buck every week into Google. Turned out pretty well for me. :-)

@theashtube @rashidi I love fractional stock ownership. I was able to invest in companies I can't afford. I am going to give this platform a try.

This is very impressive! I wish it were available for non-US residents too though. I cannot wait to see this launching in India.

Hi, looks very neat but I do have a question: as an European (France), is it available for me ?
Meghan Gardler
@cyril_nb It is not yet available to foreign customers
Cyril
@meghan_gardler Thanks for replying ! Any release date for now ?
Meghan Gardler
@cyril_nb We are going to be launching in India in the next few months to begin exploring foreign accounts and test the market there. We will definitely be sure to put it on our roadmap for European customers!

Stockpile is the easy and affordable way to start investing for your future. With Stockpile, you can buy fractional shares of ETFs as well as stock in publicly-traded companies. Rather than buying an entire share of stock, you can get just the amount you want. This means you can buy $25 of Amazon stock even though one share costs about $1000.

Stockpile has also invented the world’s first gift card for stock! For the first time ever, you can buy $25, $50, and $100 Stockpile gift cards off the gift card rack at stores like Target, Kroger, and Safeway, or send e-gifts from their app.

Pros:

Buy blue chip stocks 1000+ companies for any dollar amount,

Gets kids and teens started investing with custodian accounts

learn investing

Cons:

it does not allow investing on recurring/auto-pilot

I've been using Stockpile for about 6 months. I love hearing about some public product launch, thinking, "That'll do well", and then being able to buy stock in that company. It super easy. And the trading fees are totally reasonable at $0.99 per trade.

Pros:

Buy the _amount_ of stock you want in _dollars_. As much or as little. It's a simple idea whose time has come.

Cons:

Would love to see them add tax-advantaged accounts soon.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

I like it

It would be fun to try. When can we expect to see this product in other countries?
Meghan Gardler
@hrantarzumanyan We will be launching in India in the next few months so stay tuned!

@meghan_gardler Hope to see it also in Europe!

I went through the whole signup process, and it was only after they presented me with account information fields that I realized I could only input a US ZIP code. This is common with US startups, and it's really frustrating; it's not often they consider signups from outside the country. If it did mention that it was US-only somewhere, it was not obvious.

Pros:

This looks like a fantastic product

Cons:

It is not obvious that it is US-only
