Investment platform Rally Rd., a first-of-its kind platform that lets members buy/sell shares of stock in rare classic cars, is announcing an expansion into other asset classes including sports memorabilia, first-edition books and rare timepieces.
Since its founding in late 2017, Rally Rd. has held 30+ offerings, allowing individual investors to buy and sell shares in classic, blue-chip automobiles like a 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi or 1993 Jaguar XJ220.
By expanding into additional asset classes, users will be able to further diversify their portfolio and buy shares of one-of-a-kind assets like a First Edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, a 1909 Honus Wagner T206 baseball card and the first ever quartz Rolex 5100 Beta. These, plus dozens more assets will be available to be invested in later this summer.
To enable the movement of money within their application, Rally partners with Dwolla, Inc., a financial technology company that powers payments. Users can connect and verify their existing bank account within the application, then initiate payments to buy shares or receive money for selling those shares. By connecting to the ACH Network, Rally is able to avoid charging costly transaction fees, management fees or commissions, an important platform quality as Rally Rd. diversifies asset classes.
“Dwolla has been a key partner for Rally since day one,” says Chris Bruno, CEO and Co-Founder of Rally Rd. “We’re excited to grow the relationship as we expand beyond collector cars and into new asset classes. The Dwolla team has done a tremendous job powering core functions of our business, allowing us to focus on our mission of helping members invest in one-of-a-kind pieces of history.”
Dwolla, Inc. is a financial technology company that offers businesses an onramp to the Automated Clearing House Network, the electronic funds-transfer system used by U.S. financial institutions that moves $51 trillion annually.
With Dwolla’s help, Rally Rd. is able to grow its business, not its costs.
