About Wealthfront


Here at Wealthfront, our mission is to create a financial system that favors people, not institutions. We do this by leveraging technology to build powerful, low-cost, and easy-to-use financial products that help modern investors grow and manage their money.


We started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business. By automating strategies typically reserved for the wealthy, we unlocked access to high quality investment advice for a digitally-native generation that was underserved by traditional institutions. Since then, we've expanded to a full suite of products designed to help our clients turn their savings into long-term wealth, including:


• A Cash Account that, through our partner banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features.


• A zero-commission Stock Investing Account with 50+ handpicked collections that help DIY investors discover new companies and make smarter investing decisions.


• Multiple automated investing portfolios designed to unlock tax savings through sophisticated strategies like fixed income, tax-loss harvesting, and direct indexing—which we offer at industry-leading low costs and accessible minimums.


Our award-winning products have attracted over 1 million clients who trust us with more than $80 billion of their hard earned savings—and we're far from done. If you’re inspired to help us reshape the financial industry as we create our next chapter, let’s talk!

What We Do

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 checking features and high interest, 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 5x 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. Join us so you can help us turn this industry on its head and build a service that our clients don't just like, they love.

Wealthfront integrates investing and banking services to make it delightfully easy to build long-term wealth. We're on a mission to build a financial system that favors people over institutions and we're just getting started. Through the power of automation, we deliver personalized, powerful products to help both sophisticated investors and those just starting out learn, lower their costs, and grow their wealth. We're one of the highest rated financial app in the Apple App Store and have been recently named the best robo-advisor and cash management accounts by Nerd Wallet and Investopedia.
