Why we do what we do

We started by wanting to democratize investing for our community, to help them build for the life they want: travel, retire early, buy a house, secure kids’ future education… So we provided a solution for them to put their money to work. We used technology to drive down cost, and we built a platform with an intuitive user experience and no complicated financial jargon.
Today, Sarwa offers a one-stop shop for anyone looking for hands-off auto-investing with Sarwa Invest, self-directed trading of stocks, ETFs & Crypto with Sarwa Trade, and a place to park their cash while earning interest with Sarwa Save. Our hybrid model provides access to on-demand investment experts and a human customer support team that are here to answer your questions.
We also believe in the power of educating oneself to take control over one’s finances. So, we put together a library of free content across our website, our app, our social platforms. Most importantly we built a community both online and offline. We host workshops, events and get-togethers.
Everyone should have access to the right tools that can help them build the life they want. That’s what drives our team. Our Sarwa brand values? We will always stand for simplicity, accessibility, innovation and transparency.
