And you just visit one of these robo-advisors and you put in who you are, what you own, your risk profile, you answer some questions and they set up the account for you.
Yep.
All right.
And then you can just BPAY money in or is it direct deposit or something like that?
So what you mean is that when you're starting out, it's good to just maybe consider handballing some of the responsibility to one of these low-cost providers.

Yeah.
And then I just deposit the money effectively.
What are we talking about?
