Looks like Wise are edging into trading.

I just received this email:

More info in the email:

As with any asset you hold, your capital’s at risk. The value of your investment can go up and down, so the amount you may get back could be less than what you put in.

What you need to know

  • When you move your money into stocks you’re investing it in a fund.
  • The fund has had an average annual growth rate of 13.07% since 2012. This growth is measured in Euros.
  • During the beta trial, you’ll only pay a fund fee of 0.15% annually. After beta, you’ll also pay a service fee of 0.55% annually.
  • You can access the money you hold in stocks at any time to spend on your debit card and make payments.
  • You can switch all the money you hold in stocks back to cash at any time.
  • Because you’ll be joining a beta trial of Assets — we’d love your feedback to make it better.

I just signed up and I’m in the queue. No time frame given for onboarding. The app seemed quite slick with a nice UX.

The name is rubbish to Google though.

If anyone wants a referral so I can jump the queue, I have no intention of replacing my FT ISA & SIPP I want to see what it’s all about and share with the community -

please don’t flag me, I’m spying. Like James Bond but balding and a little overweight 
 so nothing like James Bond

I got an email informing me I’m in the first 2000 on the waitlist and they will give me a £10 bonus to invest.

I’ll give the app a try when I get the on-boarding email.
