Forcing me to open an account
I can't see anything in the app bc it's forcing me to open a Wealthfront account. The only other option is signing out.

Forces account open
Forces you to open an account. Long time I'm user. I'm not one to write reviews. Terrible decision. Will be switching to competitors.

EDIT 2025: Updating review after several bugs were fixed. Great service, I have a HYSA, Robo-Brokerage, IRA and Roth IRA with WF And they're all great. Minus one star for the very limited number of stocks available in the Stock Trading account.

Would like to fund my account, but can't. The app needs to nix auto-detection of institutions based on routing numbers & then forcing a login if there's a match—many fintechs & shell banks use the same routing numbers, making that an obstacle rather than a feature. For example, it recognizes Bancorp accounts as Chime. As soon as that association is made, you lose the ability to edit fields. Same goes for Step—can't connect with them either because the app detects their accounts as Mercury Bank.

Forced to open an account
I used to LOVE Wealthfront. I connected my profile to all of my bank accounts so I could see things in one place. Then one day a couple weeks ago, I opened the app and was met with a screen that was forcing me to open one of their banking accounts. I was no longer able to access my profile, no longer able to access settings. Huge breach of trust in not allowing me to manage my own sensitive data. I had to email them to delete my profile - with no reassurance that they no longer have access to my private banking info. Avoid.

Very happy with Wealthfront, but I would love to have an option to see the past performance of all accounts together instead of the "goals" plot view on the landing screen. It would be great to visualize growth of total account balance within Wealthfront similar to what is available within each individual account.
