Order Type for US Stocks on Fi App expanded

Bengaluru, Karnataka – Fi Money users are thrilled with the latest update to its US Stocks feature, launched on November 31st. After months of hard work and collaboration with the compliance team and vendors, Fi Money has successfully addressed key user pain points, making it easier for users to invest in US equities.

The update marks a significant shift for Fi Money, which has long been known for offering a wide range of financial services, from banking and lending to investing and debit/credit cards. One of the key challenges users previously faced when buying US stocks through the app was the inability to purchase fractional shares. Instead, users were restricted to buying only whole stock quantities. This limitation significantly impacted those who sought more flexibility in their investments, whether by buying smaller portions of high-priced stocks or completing trades based on specific dollar amounts.

With the new update, Fi Money has lifted this restriction, allowing users to buy fractional shares and opening the door for more precise, personalised investment strategies. Whether users want to invest in high-value stocks like Amazon or Tesla with just a fraction of their capital or set specific dollar-based orders, they now have the freedom to do so without being bound by whole share requirements.

Owning the Design sytem in an Indian Fintech startup

Everyone talks about design systems, and you might at the same find a lot of good open-source design systems. But most of the time, we forget that people managing it on a day-to-day basis behind the scenes have to collaborate with everyone in the team, even if they work on completely different teams/products. This ownership helps one understand what really is scalability, and designing for everyone not just for users but designing with and for other designers.

But it was not just managing the design system and coordinating with others. Other designers, but at the same time, find other ways to optimise the system and keep iterating for new ways to reimagine the existing components.
