Home Screen

The Home screen (also known as the Today screen) is the first screen that is displayed when you log into the app. The Home screen displays your Account Balance, any earned Raiz Rewards and your Raiz Invest Super account balance, which you can tap on to view in detail. At the top of the screen you can also navigate to the past and future screens.

Past Screen

The Past tab is located at the top of the home page. The Past screen shows any pending and processed Buy (deposit) or Sell (withdrawal) orders as well as any reinvested Dividends.

To cancel transactions that are pending, simply tap on a pending transaction and tap “Cancel transaction”. Please note that if the “Cancel transaction” button does not appear, your investment is being processed and can no longer be cancelled.

Keep in mind that deposits to your Raiz account take 2-3 business days to process, and withdrawals take up to 5 business days to process into your bank account. Withdrawals take an extra few days because industry regulations require a 2-day settlement period after investments are sold before the money can be transferred out of an investment account. For your security you may be asked for further verification which can cause the withdrawal process to take a bit longer.

Future Screen

Our Future screen gives you a unique window into the outlook for your investment. The future screen displays a graph that shows you an estimated value projection of your investment, based on your selected portfolio, age and monthly deposit amount. Please note that the projected values shown are hypothetical in nature and should not be relied upon.

To adjust the projected monthly amount deposited, tap and drag the white dot on the graph up and down. To adjust the age, tap and drag the white dot horizontally from side to side.

Round-Ups

When you register for a Raiz account, Automatic Round-Ups are turned on by default if you have a linked spending account. You can turn off automatic Round-Ups if you want to manually approve Round-Ups on your transactions. With Automatic Round-Ups turned on, the app will monitor your spending and automatically approve and invest your Round-Ups for you. With Automatic Round-Ups turned off, you must manually approve each Round-Up to be invested.

To enable or disable automatic Round-Ups, login to the app and go to:

1. Invest
2. Round-Ups
3. Round-Ups Settings
4. Settings Cog
5. Select or deselect Automatic Round-Ups.

If Automatic Round-Ups are disabled, you can choose to manually Round-Up your transactions. Simply go to the Round-Ups screen and select the + symbol next to each Round-Up transaction you would like to invest. A Raiz logo will appear next to transactions that have already been invested.

Please note that both automatic and manual Round-Ups have a minimum threshold of $5 which must be reached before they are invested. This threshold is automatically adjusted for you based on your spending habits; however, it can also be specified under the ‘Smart Round-Ups’ section of your Round-Ups settings. Once your Round-Ups reach this threshold, Raiz initiates the investment, and the transaction will be shown as pending on the History screen. Please allow 2-3 business days for investments to be processed.

Whole Dollar Round-Ups

The app’s default behaviour is to Round-Up all transactions to the next dollar. When you make an even whole dollar transaction, such as spending $25.00 at a movie theatre, the app will Round-Up $1.00 for you (or allow you to round up $1.00 if you don’t have Automatic Round-Ups turned on). If you wish to decrease the amount that is Rounded-Up on whole dollar transactions, please follow the instructions below to configure it to any sub-dollar amount, even $0.00.

To adjust Whole Dollar Round-Ups, go to:

1. Invest
2. Round-Ups
3. Round-Ups Settings
4. Settings Cog
5. Drag the slider to choose the set amount that gets invested when you have a whole dollar transaction.

Linking and Unlinking Spending Accounts for Round-Ups

To link a spending account to Raiz you will need to be using an eligible bank that you can provide online banking login details for. Your security is our highest priority, which can read abouthere. To link or unlink your bank as a Spending Account to be monitored for Round-Ups, go to:

1. My Settings
2. Spending Account
3. To link a new Spending Account, tap ‘Add Spending Account’ and follow the prompts on the following screens. For further instructions, see our Registration Guide.
4. To select additional Spending Accounts to monitor for Round-Ups (effectively turning them on for Round-Ups), tap the plus signs next to the sub-accounts that you wish to use for Round-Ups. These will usually be the bank accounts that you often use for purchases. Some accounts with infrequent activity may not show any Round-Ups once they are activated. Once you have selected a bank account for Round-Ups, its plus sign will turn into a green circle with a check mark in it.
5. To deselect Spending Accounts so that they will not be used for Round-Ups, simply tap their green circles with check marks, which will turn back into plus signs.
6. To unlink an entire Bank Account and therefore all its Spending Accounts, tap Unlink next to the bank or credit provider name.

1. My Settings
2. Funding Account
3. To link a Funding Account using your online banking details, tap on your bank and follow the on-screen prompts.

Performance Screen

The performance screen shows you how your Raiz balance has changed over time. By tapping and dragging your finger across the graph you can see information about your balance for different dates.

At the bottom of the screen you can change the time period to view your balance, starting at 1 day on the left, and then moving to 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and All Time.

The big number at the top is your account value, and underneath that shows your market returns for the selected period. You can read about how the percentage is calculatedhere.

The graph itself displays two lines. The white line is your total balance, including market returns. The green line represents ‘invested by you’ which is all of your deposits minus any withdrawals. The difference between these two lines represents any market gains/losses at that point in time.

The table at the bottom of the graph shows you the cumulative amount for a few different values that contribute to your Raiz account balance. The date for these values changes as you drag your finger along the graph. The ‘Rewards’ figure includes Raiz Rewards and Referral bonuses.

You can switch to your ‘Positions’ screen by swiping left at the bottom of the screen.

Positions Screen

To navigate to this screen, go to your performance screen and then swipe left.

The big number at the top of this screen is your account value. This is the same value displayed on your home screen. The Change in Value figure beneath displays the total change in value of your portfolio over the selected time period.

Using the navigation bar under your account value, you can choose between the dollar values, percentages, and number of units you have for each holding in your Raiz portfolio.

Under the navigation bar, you can tap on a fund to access its information and historical performance.

Portfolios Screen

Raiz offers 7 different portfolios with set asset allocations, each comprised of varying allocations of ETFs and Bitcoin based on different degrees of risk. You can change your portfolio at any time. You might consider changing your portfolio if your investment goals, time horizon, preferred level of risk, or other factors change.

Change your portfolio at any time by accessing the app and selecting:

• Invest
• Portfolio
• Tap one of the 7 different selectable circles, each representing a different portfolio.
• Once you have decided on a portfolio, confirm this change by selecting Change Portfolio.

The portfolio that you select determines how we invest your money. The funds that you deposit into your Raiz account are invested according to the target allocations of your selected portfolio. If your account moves too far away from the target asset allocation, or when you deposit or withdraw money, Raiz will automatically rebalance your positions by selling and/or purchasing shares or fractional shares of the ETFs (or bitcoin), to bring them back in line with your target allocation. A rebalancing will also occur when you change your portfolio.

Custom Portfolio

The Custom Portfolio allows you to build your own personalised portfolio by choosing the target weightings from a selection of ETFs and Bitcoin. Your custom portfolio is unique to you. Please read the Raiz Invest Australia Fund Product Disclosure Statement for more information on the available ETFs as well as the investment risks and fees. A Custom Portfolio will not suit everyone.

Switching to a Custom Portfolio (or changing the target weights for an existing Custom Portfolio) is a free and easy process, and can be done from the portfolio menu in the ‘Invest’ section of the app.

The first time you go to the Custom screen, the default will be to have 100% of your portfolio weighted towards the AAA (cash) ETF. To customise your allocations, tap on the ETFs/Bitcoin below the pie chart, and use the sliders to select your weightings. Any target weightings you assign will automatically be taken from the AAA ETF weighting. Your target weightings will always equal 100%, with the AAA ETF always being the balancing ETF to ensure this is the case.

Each ETF/Bitcoin belongs to an asset class, with each asset class having its own colour.

You will also need to choose a name for your portfolio, which can be done by tapping on the name at the top of the screen. Once you are done setting your allocations and naming your portfolio, tap on ‘Save Allocation’ at the bottom of the screen, and when you are ready to change to your Custom Portfolio, tap on the ‘Change Portfolio’ button.

After you change to a Custom Portfolio, Raiz will automatically process your buy and sell requests within 1 business day. Please note: Raiz and the Custom Portfolio are not trading tools and your changes will not be executed immediately.

If you have already switched to a Custom Portfolio and want to edit your existing target weightings, just tap on the ‘Edit Portfolio’ button on the Custom Portfolio screen in the app, and once you are done editing, tap on the ‘Save Allocation’ button to action the changes.

Deposit and Withdraw

It’s easy to deposit and withdraw money with Raiz. From the home screen tap on invest, where you’ll then see two buttons at the top of the screen, one to deposit and one to withdraw. You can withdraw through the app at any time without penalty, however the withdrawal may not be actioned until the next business day by Raiz. The minimum investment is $5. Deposits take 2-3 business days to be invested into your Raiz account, whilst withdrawals can take up to 5 business days for the funds to reach your nominated funding account. You can view the status of and cancel deposits and withdrawals in the ‘Past’ tab.

Set a Recurring Deposit/Savings Goal

Recurring Deposits and Savings Goals make it easy to regularly add money to your Raiz account, helping you stay disciplined with your investing and reach your investing goals.

If you did not set up a Recurring Deposit/Savings Goal when you signed up to Raiz, you can set one up through the ‘Invest’ section of the app.

To set up a recurring investment just select the amount of money you wish to invest regularly and then choose a time period that suits you – whether that’s on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

Along with your recurring investment, you can also choose to create an accompanying savings goal, allowing you to pick something to save for and track your progress in reaching a target balance. To create a savings goal, tap on the savings goal switch at the top of the screen when you are setting or changing a recurring investment.
