Once you set up a Pie with AutoInvest, you have full control over how your plan is funded, adjusted, and managed. Below are the different ways to fund your AutoInvest Pies and how to update your settings.
How to fund my AutoInvest plan?
You can fund your AutoInvest Pies in several ways:
- Debit/Credit Card or Apple/Google Pay: Set up a recurring card payment based on your deposit schedule. The funds will be invested automatically.
- Free Funds: You can use your account’s available free funds by selecting Free funds as your payment method.
📄 Note
А 0.7% fee is applied to any deposit made via a payment method different from BankWire transfer or Instant Bank transfer, which is over the limit of £2,000.
You can also set up scheduled deposits from your linked bank account:
- Choose a frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.).
- Deposits will be automatically invested in your Pie according to your selected distribution type (Self-Balancing or By Targets).
📄 Note
AutoInvest requires at least half of your chosen schedule cycle to pass before processing the next payment. If this condition is not met, the scheduled deposit will be skipped.
What if there aren’t enough free funds?
If your account does not have enough funds to cover the scheduled deposit, you will receive a notification that AutoInvest cannot complete the deposit.
Additionally, if the scheduled deposit is below the minimum investment amount, the money will be placed in your Pie cash instead. An order will only be triggered once there are enough funds in the Pie to meet the minimum investment.
💡 Example
- AutoInvest is set for $50 once a month.
- The minimum investment is $100.
Month 1:
- No order is placed, as the deposit is below the minimum.
- $50 is stored in Pie cash.
Month 2:
- AutoInvest adds another $50.
- With $100 total ($50 from deposit + $50 Pie cash), an order is triggered.
- Pie cash balance returns to $0.
Where can I find my Autoinvest settings?
All AutoInvest settings for a specific Pie can be managed directly in the app:
- Go to the Overview tab of the Pie you want to manage.
- Tap on AutoInvest settings.
How to adjust and control my Autoinvest schedule?
You can change your AutoInvest plan at any time:
- Change Deposit Amount: Increase or decrease the recurring deposit.
- Adjust Frequency: Change how often your deposits occur (e.g., weekly, monthly).
- Pause Schedule: Temporarily stop AutoInvest deposits. No funds will be debited until you resume.
- Resume Schedule: Restart a paused AutoInvest plan whenever you’re ready.
💡 Example
If you enable AutoInvest on July 19, 2025, and set your schedule for every 2nd of the month, the August 2, 2025 payment will be skipped.
This is because there are fewer than 15 days (half of a monthly cycle) between enabling AutoInvest and the first scheduled date.
