Wealthfront is a nextgen banking service. We help you manage your money for both your short-term and long-term goals by providing a cash account with a top-of-market APY, best-in-class automated investment management, and free financial advice, anytime you want it. We entered into the banking space in a big way this year with the launch of our cash account that offers an interest rate 23x greater than the national average. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and have grown nearly 100% this year already to manage nearly $20 billion in total client assets. Our ultimate vision is to optimize and automate all of our clients’ finances and build what we call Self-Driving Money™️. We want clients to be able to automatically deposit their paycheck into their Wealthfront account, and let us take care of the rest — paying their bills, topping off their emergency fund or 401(k), and investing the rest based on their specific goals and lifestyle.

The centralized architecture of today’s exchanges is just not compatible with the irreversible nature of cryptocurrencies and needs to get redesigned. This is why we are creating an open exchange protocol instead of a centralized platform. Our protocol allows for connecting directly to banks to clear blockchain transaction. You can pay in fiat for cryptoassets using a regular wire transfer and be sure to receive your crypto in turn. Ramp is here to make decentralized apps accessible for everyone. To unleash the full potential of blockchain. And to democratize finance like never before. As a fast-growing, pioneering on-ramp provider, we’re uniquely placed to do just that. Our collaborative strategies and innovative technologies mean cryptocurrency can be bought using cash, bridging the gap between fiat and the future. Our commitment to embracing both the established and the emerging worlds of finance has seen us become the first crypto on-ramp to receive open banking registration. And as we continue to work with regulatory bodies around the world, we’re all set to connect the world’s existing financial infrastructure with an exciting, empowering, decentralized future.
