About Wealthfront
Wealthfront pioneered automated investing by offering broad access to sophisticated investing strategies at a fraction of the cost of traditional financial advisers. Since then, we’ve continued to expand the ways we help our clients build wealth through saving, investing, and home lending. From the very beginning, we’ve been a product-led growth company. We focus on building low cost, high-value, high quality experiences. These enable us to establish long-term relationships with happy clients who gladly refer their friends, family, peers, and colleagues. Our commitment to our clients and high bar for excellence set us apart from traditional financial institutions, fostering trust with our clients and empowering them to build lasting wealth on their own terms.
Product Management at Wealthfront
We earn and maintain client trust through quality product experiences built with a deep understanding of the client, close collaboration across a wide variety of functions, and high visibility with the executive team. As a result of that trust, clients stay with us for a long time and entrust us with more of their money each year. For our business, delight is the greatest form of virality. When we delight our clients, they tell others about us. We balance improving existing products with developing new products. Lastly, we are a learning-oriented organization. We care far more about achieving a high magnitude of success on a few successful products than we do about every product being successful.

What We Do
Wealthfront is a nextgen banking service. We help you manage your money for both your short-term and long-term goals by providing a Cash Account with checking features and high interest, best-in-class automated investment management, and free financial advice, anytime you want it. We entered into the banking space in a big way this year with the launch of our cash account that offers an interest rate 5x greater than the national average. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and have grown nearly 100% this year already to manage nearly $20 billion in total client assets. Our ultimate vision is to optimize and automate all of our clients’ finances and build what we call Self-Driving Money™️. We want clients to be able to automatically deposit their paycheck into their Wealthfront account, and let us take care of the rest — paying their bills, topping off their emergency fund or 401(k), and investing the rest based on their specific goals and lifestyle. Join us so you can help us turn this industry on its head and build a service that our clients don't just like, they love. Wealthfront integrates investing and banking services to make it delightfully easy to build long-term wealth. We're on a mission to build a financial system that favors people over institutions and we're just getting started.
