Always innovating, now we have the on call account earning 3.5%. Even on orders not yet allocated. Thankyou guys.

Keep it up squirrel, while the death star that is the Australian owned banks continues to not innovate or offer returns on equity. Squirrel is arming the rebels and offering products that continue to get smarter, better and more accessible to anyone. Bravo! Hand me my light sabre ;)

I invest with squirell purely because the funds are liquid (can be liquidated via the secondary market).
Before purchasing our first family home my wife and I liquidated $70k of investments within a week, with no fees paid.
Thank you to the team at squirell!!!

I really like investing with Squirrel Money. I know my money is safe. There's no fees or terms, which I think is fantastic. And I've got total control of my investments. I can thoroughly recommend Squirrel Money.

The journey of investing has been very rewarding. They are innovating new ways where ordinary Kiwis can invest by bringing the investment about low to $100 as well as let us earn interest on cash in our squirrel account that has been introduced just a couple of days ago. Excellent and Thanks

Easy to use
Regular information updates which answer lots of questions and provides great deal of reassurance

I've been investing for over 6 months and found the process easy to use. Interest paid without question and fully transparent. Seminars are reassuring on current events and updates. Great to see interest is being paid on money awaiting investment and now I will keep all interest gained within the account rather than drawing down. Highly recommended- give it a go and be pleasantly surprised.

I love Squirrel and cannot recommend it enough. I heard about it but was very skeptical at first, especially because I did not have experience investing, I was honestly afraid. Then I saw a friend of mine using it and decided it to give it a go. And its great! It's great that you can start investing with a low amount, so you can try it out to see how it feels. I love how easy it is to deposit money, invest the money and then withdraw the money when needed. I also really like the update emails we get because it keeps us updated on what's happening, why its happening and what the impact for us means. I recommend it truly! And now with the added interest for on-call account, there is no reason not to give it a go.
Really. I love it!

Squirrel really came as a huge blessing after other investment portfolios racked up losses due to market fluctuations.
The processes to earn passive income are easy to understand and to implement.
Customer service is a 10 out of 10.
And to receive interest on the On-Call Account is a surprising and welcome bonus.
I just love Squirrel.

Hi Team Squirrel,
You guys & girls are onto it!
Since I first met Rob Bolton @ a roadshow with Sam Stubbs,( Simplicity), & Ralph Stewart,(Gauranteed Life Income) ,back in 2017 at P.Nth, you have all done well.
I have no regrets,(so far),in my dealings with you folk,& I think it's fair to say your particular recipe in the "Peer To Peer" finance world is a win win win for all stakeholders.
Obviously Rob has gathered some very capable & competant people around him.
Your growth & success is testimony to this.
Keep up the innovative thinking!
Good luck to all of us!
Kind regards,
Peter Claridge.
Palmerston North.

When signing up for an investment in the Squirrel Monthly Income Fund it is not made clear that status reporting is NOT done by Squirrel, but by Investnow. I have investments in Construction Loans also but do not get a consolidated report on all of my investments with Squirrel.

Very easy to use and the Reserve Fund offers piece of mind for your investments.

I started investing more than one year ago on different platforms and Squirrel always comes up on top. It's easy to use, clear explanations on what is happening behind scenes, weekly reports and being that the markets were down this year, Squirrel is the only one that produced positive returns.

So much better than term investments with the bank. Higher interest rate and not locked in for the term of the investment. When we got bored with retirement and decided to buy a business, we were able to put our investments on the secondary market and got all of our money back within two weeks with no fees.

Squirrel is an excellent platform that consistently improves the investor experience . Orders clear very quickly and transfers in/out of my account are also very quick .
The return on investment is very healthy , and I've never had any dramas in terms of receiving payment.
I particularly like the incremental interest / capital repayments which quickly mount up and really helps demonstrate the power of compound interest .
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
