Revolut Security, which has grown in popularity ever since it started out offering money transfer and exchange services in the U.K. before expanding its offerings to include the U.S., Australia and Japan, is launching an innovative new trading portal that is designed to make it easier than ever for investors located in the U.S. going about carrying out a wide variety of activities that include trading in stocks.
One of the unique features of Revolut's U.S.-focused trading portal is the fact that it is looking to buck the trend of gamification in an effort to help promote responsible investing habits and discourage treating investing with one's hard-earned money as a form of gambling.
In the words of Revolut's head of wealth and trading Gabe Vallejo, the team that designed this trading platform has "made sure to have nothing that would look or feel like gamification in our app."
