Portfolio choices include standard risk levels, socially responsible Emerald, Sapphire with a 5% bitcoin allocation, and Property with 30% in the Raiz Property Fund. Plus users can assemble portfolios from ETFs, ASX-listed stocks, up to 5% Bitcoin and up to 30% in the property fund. Raiz Kids provides child accounts transferable at 18, and Raiz Jars support goals with separate strategies. Rewards invests a percentage of participating-brand purchases. My Finance categorises transactions and forecasts income and spending. Android, iOS and web access are listed. Plans start at 2.50 AUD/mo, with no free plan.
