- The app will launch in Australia late 2018.
Micro-investment cryptocurrency app, Bamboo, aims to simplify cryptocurrency and make it more accessible to the average person. Launching in Australia in late 2018, Bamboo allows users to invest the small change from their electronic transactions into share portfolios.
Bamboo will then invest the small change into cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. The model is based upon the widely successful Raiz Invest App (formerly Acorns). Further down the track, Bamboo CEO Phil George is looking to extend the micro investment to wider plains including commodities and real estate. Bamboo aims to break down the barriers to cryptocurrency investment and blockchain technology, with the two now well understood outside of the financial sector.
The term is ‘democratising finance’ – making the process easier for more people to get involved as opposed to being accessible only to high net worth clients. Instead of being viewed as it is currently a complex and highly technical process, Bamboo will break down the barriers to make it more consumer-friendly and accessible to the masses. All it takes is a
spare $5.

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
