High barriers to entry - minimum account balances, brick-and-mortar onboarding, and low financial literacy
Irrelevant experiences - platforms designed for traders and financial experts, alienating the majority
Fragmented offerings - investment products scattered across multiple platforms
Limited information accessibility - lack of organized, accessible information for retail investors

3 million app downloads
$8.8 billion in annualized traded value
#1 platform in terms of traded value (30% of market orders & 11% of retail traded value)
84% of our users are investing for the first time
65% of our users come from outside capital cities, previously underserved by financial institutions
