At Wealthfront, we\u2019re constantly developing new products and features to help you build, borrow, and save smarter. In 2026 we have been focusing a lot of our time on significant infrastructure enhancements that will enable new innovative products, some of which you\u2019ll hear about soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also excited by the updates we\u2019ve already made to help clients get more out of Wealthfront. From expanding our mortgage offering to launching a brand new account type, here\u2019s what we\u2019ve shipped so far this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More ways to invest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You now have even more ways to build wealth on your terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wealthfront Custodial Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our new Custodial Account<\/a> gives you a simple, flexible way to invest for your children, setting them up for major milestones beyond education, like a first car or a down payment on a home. It\u2019s also one of the only Custodial Accounts that\u2019s designed to automatically reduce your child\u2019s future tax burden<\/a> before they take ownership of the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock Investing Account upgrades<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many of our clients want to invest in individual stocks and ETFs alongside their long-term portfolio. Our Stock Investing Account<\/a> now offers 300+ new securities\u2014including highly requested foreign stocks like Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), ASML Holdings (ASML), and Novo Nordisk (NVO). Our redesigned search experience makes discovering stocks and ETFs easier than ever. You also now have more control over your dividends: you can choose to automatically reinvest the proceeds or sweep them into your Cash Account to earn interest from program banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been working on significant additional enhancements, including recurring investments and support for even more stocks and ETFs, which you\u2019ll hear more about soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new market insights newsletter: Vested Interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We introduced our biweekly Vested Interest newsletter<\/a> to keep you informed on major economic trends, interesting topics in financial markets, and how it might impact you. Subscribe<\/a> to get clear insights on key market topics like interest rate shifts, home affordability, AI, this year\u2019s mega IPOs, as well as context on what they might mean for your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting you through new life stages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also continued to support clients through different life events. If you\u2019re combining finance, you can now easily move money from an Individual Investing Account<\/a> into a Joint Account<\/a>\u2014without liquidating assets or triggering a gain or loss. This means that what can be a slow multi-step process across the industry is now a self-serve process that can be completed in a few taps, with the goal of no taxes or paperwork involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also streamlined and automated operations to support death and divorces. It\u2019s an experience we don\u2019t want you to have, but when you do, we want you to focus on your life, not the financial logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More ways for you to earn more and manage your everyday finances<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So far this year, we\u2019ve introduced updates designed to help you get more value and control of your Cash Account<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher yields on your cash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your uninvested cash earns a competitive 3.55% base APY from program banks. On top of that, you can boost your yield even further with an additional +0.25% APY boost when you set up a monthly direct deposit of $1,000+ to your Cash Account<\/a> or recurring deposits of $2,500 into any Wealthfront account and maintain a funded investing account. If you already meet these requirements, your boost applies automatically with no expiration date, no balance limit, and no referral needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smarter tools to automate your savings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On top of earning higher yield opportunities on your cash, you now have more tools to automate and track your savings goals. You can automatically route your monthly interest into specific categories (like an Emergency or Vacation fund), set up recurring category transfers, and track target amounts with visual progress rings in the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster money movement with higher limits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clients are taking advantage of free instant withdrawals, with instant networks like RTP and FedNow surpassing traditional ACH transfers this year. With higher ACH transfer limits, and free outgoing wire transfers, you can handle larger, faster transactions  with Wealthfront. We\u2019re excited to continue investing in more fast money movement capabilities, more flexibility, and continuing to increase limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simpler and more secure logins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By popular request, accessing your accounts is now simpler and more secure: with passkey support, you can sign in using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress on our journey to reinvent home lending<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You deserve home financing that\u2019s easy and saves you money. Wealthfront Home Lending<\/a> cuts out traditional mortgage friction to give you rates ~50 bps below national averages. And the process is designed  to be  handled through a self-serve digital experience with upfront pricing and zero sales calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s new with Wealthfront Home Lending this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
