5 Simple Ways to Save up to $5,000 in 2021

Get $10 to start investing in Apple, Amazon, and other companies

A smart investing strategy is key to building your savings. Even if you don't have lot of money to invest, you don't have to let that stop you — you can start investing with $5 or less.

Stash was built to help beginner investors get started. You can buy fractional shares (partial shares) in companies that are household names like Apple, Google, Amazon, and more¹ . Normally a single share of these companies could cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but you only need as little as $5 to get started with Stash.

If you're thinking about saving for retirement, you can start investing in an IRA and enjoy the tax benefits that come with retirement accounts. Stash also offers tools and guidance to help you along the way and you can use the Stash app to track your investments from anywhere.

As a bonus, Stash will give you $10 to invest after you deposit $5 or more into your personal portfolio.⁴  Want even more tools and guidance? If you choose the Stash+ plan² when signing up, you can earn 2x stock rewards when you spend on eligible purchases!³
