Revolut, the global financial super-app with more than 30 million customers worldwide, has introduced a robo-advisor in the US.
This new feature automates the management of investment portfolios on behalf of customers with the aim of giving a more seamless and cost-effective investing experience compared to traditional companies.
Through Revolut’s robo-advisor, users have the opportunity to invest in one of five diversified portfolios based on their risk tolerance. It takes care of the investment process, automatically allocating deposited funds into the market and diligently monitoring and managing the portfolios.
To ensure alignment with the customer’s risk tolerance, the robo-advisor periodically rebalances the portfolio. This means that users can grow their wealth without the need for continuous manual management.
It joins Revolut‘s suite of products and services designed to meet customers’ money-related needs. It aims to simplifies and automates the investment process, providing customers with professionally managed portfolios.

We know that many of our customers do not have the time to manage a portfolio or invest in individual securities. Built to make investing more accessible, we want to give our customers the ability to make their money work for them in what we believe will be a tailored and stress-free way.”
