Invstr Shutdown

I got an email this morning from Apex Fintech Solutions saying that the Invstr app had stopped working with them to provide brokerage services. This effectively shut down the stock trading app.

Invstr was a stock trading app that featured “Fantasy Leagues” for stock trading similar to fantasy football. The real brokerage and the fantasy brokerage operated through the same app with a selector to move between functions. There was also a social feed and you could follow other users whose portfolios you were interested in.

I had opened my account through an offer on Swagbucks and had deposited $100. I put my funds into a dividend stock intending to leave the funds there until my retirement or other sufficient need.

I did not receive any kind of notice from Invstr about them stopping service. I did send a support ticket in April asking for help to login to my account but there was no response.

I have sent a support email to Apex in the hope that they can locate my account and liquidate the funds. Unfortunately, without access to the app I am unable to locate my account number. I checked my old hard drive, but it only had two screenshots and neither one showed my account number.

I have also been communicating with other Invstr members on the Invstr subreddit.

This has been really disappointing for the company to just up and vanish without a word to users. I feel really let down and cheated out of my money.
