For years, investing as an American abroad has meant accepting two painful costs: complex and layered fees and variable currency exchange rates. This has meant that US expats paid a premium for the privilege of investing their own money.
That era is over.
A partnership between the low-cost investment platform DF-Direct and the global money transfer service Wise will address both of these costs, creating the most affordable way for US expats to build wealth.
First, DF-Direct Slashes Your Investment Costs
DF-Direct is a direct alternative to the traditional investment model. It is a technology-driven platform that automates professional portfolio management, which means the costs to investors are significantly lower than traditional platforms. DF-Direct features one single, low advisory fee with no account minimums or surprise costs. The result is a smarter, more affordable way to access a professional-grade, U.S.-compliant investment portfolio.
Second, Wise Eliminates Hidden Transfer Fees
When sending money to the U.S. through a bank, the bank typically receives 3-5%, which results in a poor exchange rate. It’s a massive hidden cost.
The Wise integration inside DF-Direct has been created to end this problem. Transfers are completed at the real exchange rate without the bank's hidden markup. The only cost is a small fee which is disclosed upfront.
Two Great Services. One Low-Cost Platform
When investing and transferring money are both addressed by platforms designed to keep costs low, the difference is immediate.
Getting started with DF-Direct is simple:
Open a DF-Direct account.
Fund it with Wise at the real exchange rate.
The low-cost investment portfolio is built automatically.
Stop overpaying. It's time to build wealth the efficient, affordable way.
