So

Some people have even pointed out, okay, if this gets even bigger, if economies of scale, maybe the fees will change.

Fees are always changing across everything, right?

Do they change that?

Keep The Change

If you're just relying on roundups, you're probably playing too small and you'd be thinking bigger than that.

And I think we need more companies in New Zealand building tools like this, actual tools that help everyday Kiwis save, invest, and get ahead.
