With this partnership, users will be able to make investments effortlessly in just a few clicks. There are no high minimum investment requirements to worry about.

Most importantly, this provides investors access to a plethora of assets to create a diversified portfolio that comprises of a wide array of assets.

GTN’s Global Head of Fintech, Ankit Shah, said that they were looking forward to their partnership with Revolut that would give users access to the bond markets.

He added that the offering was a compelling one, particularly where small investors are concerned, as bond investment can be quite difficult and challenging for them.

He said that thanks to their API, the Revolut app can be used for making bond investments as easily as stock investments.

He went on to add that traditional barriers were eliminated with the fractionalization of bonds. Hence, people do not have to worry about high minimum investments or similar complexities.

It would transform the way investors build their wealth.

The integration of GTN’s technology will also enhance Revolut’s investment platform and offer users a more robust and user-friendly experience.
