“At PeerStreet, we’re committed to providing more access, transparency, and control for our customers. We’re continually working to improve the investor experience, even when it means integrating with other financial services. There is an incredible ecosystem of investment platforms that are now available and by integrating, we’re able to provide our customers with a more comprehensive and transparent view into their overall portfolio.”
