Stash provides an investing app that makes it easy and affordable for individuals to invest and save for their future. The app allows users to select their own stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) while offering expert guidance to help them make informed decisions. One unique feature is the Stock-Back debit card, which rewards users with stock when they make purchases. Stash also offers automated investing tailored to users' personal goals, allowing them to build wealth without needing deep financial knowledge. Unlike many competitors, Stash operates on a subscription model, charging fees for different service tiers that provide varying levels of investment advice and features. The company aims to empower everyday consumers to grow their savings and invest wisely, and it has recently introduced StashWorks, a program that helps employees save and invest through their workplaces.
