Features that you should include in an investment application

Individual accounts

What if a platform builds an application in rush? Well, it will definitely collide to the ashes. Because, the investing application is always full of features that can be divided into different categories, and multiple accounts. From keeping track of the earnings of the client to managing their portfolio from time to time, all the features are essential as salt in everything. Well, not more or not even less, but in a good amount.

From Managing aspect

If I have to invest in the stock market, I will go for an application that manages my transactions properly. The managing company or firm should provide the facility to manage the transactions on daily basis, easily.

Trading cryptocurrencies

Nobody is unaware of this thing, right? Ask anyone about trendings and they will answer either cryptocurrency or metaverse. Yes, it is possible to invest in cryptocurrency (If you do have enough knowledge about it).

Real-time warnings

Zomato, for example, gives you a notification when it is time for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. so, why your stockmarket application can not give this kind of push notification? It is really possible, and it will be more worthy and attractive. Because this way you can keep your client updated with the news on the stock market.

Financial calculators

Whenever I open my bank application and go to the loan section, I find that they have given me an EMI calculator. In the field of finance and investment, there are just calculations, it won’t hurt if you provide an investment calculator in your application. But if you don’t, then you know the consequences.

24-hour support

Availability for customers is the most appreciated feature by anyone. And also in investing type of applications, you have to be available for your customers. Because there are possibilities of needing the expert’s advice at any time.

Make a Plan

Before making applications like investing applications you should take enough time to plan it first. Because in the type of application where your customer’s money is at risk, you can not actually bluff or miss anything. I have always suggested that planning provides immense results in the development of applications. Not only investment types but also this is true for gaming too.

So, you must be wondering what you should do, while planning. You are just a few questions away.

- Choose specific benefits for your investing application. Like question yourself how it will be beneficial to the customers.
- How particularly this application will give in to your company’s growth?
- What kind of risks there will be in your way while building the application? It may be financial, technical, or any other.

Business model

While developing an investing application, you must be a bank or any other institution that supports financial activities. Ask yourself if it is really necessary to build an application like this for your business growth. If yes. Then the business model is all about financial planning like what will be your charges, what kind of, and how much commission you will be taking from your clients.

Coding logs

While app development, Coding is the most important thing that you should consider. Because as you are a financial firm, you will not be aware of the software or development areas in which your firm stands. You can just give references to your programmer. It is a type of a trial and error method. You do it and you will be fine as rain.

Be careful, because sometimes an error of a programmer can destroy the whole reputation of a company. So hire only relevant development teams. Also, run some tests and a beta test to ensure that your investment application is ready to go in the market.

Go through these applications, if you are feeling hesitant.

1. Betterment
2. Acorns
3. Robinhood

Conclusion

Your application is your perspective on certain aspects such as how you like design. How do you invest through this application? What suggestions and ideas do you have in your mind for your customer? It is not only about your customer, but it is about you too. I will certainly suggest that you should always serve your business needs in building investing applications. Also, you should add other services than investment in your application. It will help too.
