Rakuten Securities is set to strengthen its position as a leader in digital financial solutions with the introduction of its new investment application, iGrow™, which will be available to users starting December 25, 2024. This innovative app aims to simplify asset management and investment for both new and experienced investors.
The iGrow app provides users with the capability to manage all their financial assets, including those held with Rakuten Securities and Rakuten Bank, all from one convenient platform. This consolidation allows for seamless management of investment trusts, making it especially user-friendly for those just starting out.
The app is expected to cater to the growing trend of investment engagement among retail investors by combining intuitive design with practical functionality. Users will be able to particularly benefit from features such as NISA-enabled investment and fund management, which integrates various Rakuten services including point accumulation for investment purposes.
iGrow™ is not only about tracking investments; it also incorporates news and analytical tools akin to social media platforms. Users will have access to updates from Rakuten Securities' economic research and Reuters news, making it easier to stay informed about market movements impacting their portfolios.
Rakuten Securities, which leads the domestic securities industry with the highest number of accounts, has also received multiple accolades for customer satisfaction, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing the overall investing experience. The firm aims to provide tools and services for its customers to navigate financial markets fluently, underlining the importance of user engagement and satisfaction.
Those who already hold accounts with Rakuten Securities will have full access to all functionalities within the iGrow app, ensuring they can leverage their existing investments. New users will still enjoy basic functionalities for free, allowing them to explore the potential of the platform before fully committing.
With the launch of iGrow™, Rakuten Securities is responding to the increasing demand for accessible, technology-driven investment solutions, positioning itself to meet the diverse needs of today's investors. The app’s development is centered around creating lasting partnerships with customers as they build their financial futures.
Investors are encouraged to review the app's features and take advantage of the new service, illustrating Rakuten’s dedication to being at the forefront of financial technology and investment solutions.
