Start with training wheels.

Since investing is easier - and riskier - than ever before, it's crucial that teens learn how to do it smartly. Bumper was created to teach your teens healthy investing habits, all while making finance interesting.

Invest with just $1.

On Bumper, you don't need thousands of dollars to invest in large companies. Bumper offers fractional shares, which means your teen can invest in companies like Apple, Netflix, and Chipotle with just $1.
