How to invest as a Teen?

By Adam Hano, Birdwingo’s Co-founder ✨💰

Are you below 18 and want to start investing? If you are in Europe you have two options:

Go to a bank with your parent and sign up for a custodial account (some banks will allow teens to trade)
Create an account in Birdwingo and invite your parent or guardian

💡How Does Teen Investing Work?

Legally, teenagers in Europe are not able to open a brokerage account on their own. That is why you need your parent to help you out.

This process will take you 5-10 minutes.

Steps:

Download Birdwingo app
Invite your parent
Get a free stock to kick off your investing journey
Your parent can either automatically approve all your trades or set parental controls
Trade stocks like Tesla, Apple, Nvidia, or ETFs such as VOO and VTI
Learn about trading and earn fractional shares in the process

And that’s it! It’s as simple as that.
