So far so good

Appears (at least on the surface) to offer genuinely impactful investment options, at least compared to the so-called ethical options and ESG portfolios from other subscribers. The fact that Tickr are a B-Corp suggests they take this seriously. I’m putting money away for my young daughter so can risk it being in long-term investments, but it’s also important that it’s meaningful.

I would love to try the round-up investment feature, but unfortunately my bank isn’t supported... and in any case I do all my spending on a credit card, which also isn’t supported. Add more here and things would be perfect!

Edit: customer service is a bit “meh”. They’ve got that casual manner which focuses more on sounding like they’re your buddy than answering the actual question. Taking off a star because I was quite unimpressed with a response to a simple query.

Developer Response ,

Hey Sawyer, thanks for reaching out. I'm happy to hear we're meeting your impact-investment-needs so you can save for your daughter knowing you're helping the world of her future too :) .

For Round-ups we use an open banking provider called Truelayer to connect to your bank. They're always adding new banks to their platform and if there's a specific bank you'd like to be added just get in touch with our customer support and we can submit the request to Truelayer. As for supporting credit cards, I've added this to our feedback report so we can review this.

If there's ever anything else you'd like to feedback on please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer support via your in-app chat or email us at hi@tickr.co.uk.

Hope you have a lovely afternoon, Lauren.

Brilliant way to invest!

Circa 5000 have really changed my opinion about investing in stocks & shares. I previously avoided investing as it all seemed very difficult and not easy to understand. But having being extremely disappointed with my returns from standard savings accounts I decided to invest some of my capital stocks. I researched my options and decided on Circa5000 due to their ethical investment policies.
From the beginning they were extremely helpful and explained everything in a jargon free way so I understood exactly what could happen to my investments. The app is brilliant providing all the information you could need about your investments and how they are performing. In addition the app provides information about the companies I am investing in - their performance, policies and future growth potential.
Also there are offers on the app for you to take advantage off investing in B-corp companies. I have recently transferred my mobile to a b-corp and am currently reducing my carbon footprint by using them.
I could go on but will just finish off by thoroughly recommending Circa5000 - I am delighted with how they operate, communicate and educate.

Makes Impact Investing So Easy

I’m a big fan of tickr. I’ve never invested before, and I have very little understanding of, or interest in, investing in traditional stocks and shares. I was looking to put a little bit of money away each month into some sort of impact investment / ESG / environment fund. And then I found tickr! I like the app - it’s easy to use, which is so important - and I like the additional features such as round-ups and the carbon offsetting feature. I now use that in addition to my Ecologi subscription to further offset my / my family’s emissions. The fact that tickr is a Certified B Corp is also very important to me and shows that they walk the walk. Minor criticism: An additional £10 and one tree planted for everyone you successfully invite to the app who invests is a pretty small reward. Also guys if you’re reading this: the tree function is broken - the age of my trees constantly changes from 0 days old to 21 days old to... whatever. It’s completely random. What’s going on there? Apart from that, great app and I have recommended it to loads of people.

Developer Response ,

Hey Riversoftime,

Thanks so much for your positive review. I'm glad you're enjoying the app so far and the newer features we've been rolling out.

We're aware of the bug which causes your referral tree age to show incorrectly! This is being looked into by our tech team and will be fixed in a new release shortly. I'm sorry for any confusion caused in the meantime though.

If you need anything else at all please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer service team by email to hi@tickr.co.uk or pop up in our in-app chat :)

Have a lovely afternoon,
Lauren
