Investors are often required to buy a minimum of one share in a company. at's not a problem if the cost of a single share is low, but shares in many popular companies, such as Amazon, can be a thousand dollars each, or more. With fractional shares, Rev- olut customers can buy a fraction of a single share for as little as $1, which means they still own a piece of the company, albeit a much smaller one. Instant market orders allow Revolut customers to buy or sell a share, or a fractional share, at its current market value with real-time price up- dates and stock performance data. Andre Mohamed, Head of Wealth & Trading at Revolut said the company was de- lighted to provide even more people with access to the stock market and make finan- cial services more inclusive, innovative and affordable. "We'll continue to build on the trading product, rolling out access to different mar- kets and products in the near future," he said. Revolut was launched in July 2015 by former Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank investment bankers, Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsen- ko, as a digital alternative to the big banks. While the fintech initially drew in cus- tomers by allowing them to spend and transfer money abroad with the interbank exchange rate, the compa- ny has since attracted over 7 million customers in Europe with its spending overviews, budgeting controls, savings features and cryptocurrency exchange.
