About Pigtie

Pigtie helps millennials get started with investing and financial planning. To begin their own financial planning, users round up their transactions to the nearest euro and invest these roundups in ETFs. Our mission: Every student should have invested once by the end of their studies … and continue to do so. A first step towards this is our micro-investing app Pigtie: Users pay as usual with PayPal, Apple Pay, credit card and more. In the app, we round up the amounts to the nearest euro, optionally also to two or five euros, and invest these in an ETF savings plan for the user. For market entry, we are focusing on Munich students and offer informative workshops here as well as a WhatsApp channel where we answer our users’ questions. We want to finance ourselves through commissions from custodian banks, voluntary contributions from users, and later through additional upselling.
