App summary

It's simple: Shop & pay bills at the companies & brands you use everyday, and our app will automatically purchase $1 worth of stock in those companies for you. Fun, human investing.

How it works: Each time you transact at 300+ publicly-traded companies (and any of their 2,000+ subsidiaries), Grifin automatically withdraws $1 to invest into that company's stock on your behalf. Each week, your dollars are added up and withdrawn from your bank to buy your stock. For example:

• Buy coffee 3x at Starbucks this week? You invest $3 into Starbucks stock.
• Pay both your Verizon and Comcast bills this week? $2 is withdrawn to buy $1 of Verizon stock and $1 of Comcast stock.
• Go to Whole Foods 2x this week for groceries? You get $2 in Amazon stock, since Whole Foods is a subsidiary of Amazon.
• Make a payment on your American Express credit card bill? You get $1 worth of AMEX stock for paying your bill.

In that example, after just 1 week, you put $8 towards stocks, and you now own stock in 5 of the companies you transact with!

Personalized investing on your terms: Set a weekly investment limit, pause for a week at a time, adjust your company risk tolerance, increase beyond $1 per transaction, disable any company you transact at but don't want to invest in, and many more customization features.

With Grifin, you can finally feel confident enough to start investing for the first time. Grifin makes investing fun for a flat $5 per month (cancel anytime).

Once you're all set up, you just keep living your life as you normally do. As you keep shopping, Grifin will automatically invest $1 for each purchase you make.

For me, the simplicity of the app is what works best for me. Unlike other investment platforms, where you have to monitor the markets for when to invest, this app eliminates that headache. Secondly, the amounts involved are manageable. Most people can easily afford a dollar even with the tough times that we are facing. This allows even those with low income to invest something for their future. Thank you, Grifin.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this app and seen my account value!! I was actually shocked I couldn't believe I kept swiping down to refresh to make sure it was correct and it was!! Thanks for creating such an amazing app!! Don't really have any complaints....so thank you again!!

Everything I initially read was fantastic about this app, however the reason for my 2 star rating is because for me trying to get IN TO the app has been the biggest problem, as IT WILL NOT LET ME. If that gets fixed then I'll redo the rating when I can actually get going with it.
