Yallo Refill 50.-- | postshop.ch. FutureAdvisor Brings Mint-Style Advice to Investments. FutureAdvisor, a site offering automated long-term financial and investment advice for free, launched on Tuesday with support from top executives at Square and Yelp. In a sense, FutureAdvisor is like a version of Mint for financial advice; it asks for read-only access to a user's bank accounts, IRA, and other investment accounts, even using the same third-party authentication scheme that Mint uses, according to Bo Lu, the co-founder of the company.

So far, FutureAdvisor is just a free Web app, with no mobile app on the horizon, Lu said, although it works "great" on the iPad browser. "We believe that users are going to want to manage their 401K sitting down, rather than on the bus," Lu said. When a user signs up, he or she is asked some basic questions about their financial goals, such as their age, as well as their risk profile and time that they would like to retire. "We are absolutely on the side of the consumer," Lu said. BuddyBeacon. Photosphere. Send Money Abroad. Tree House - Green Renaissance.
