Abstract
Systems and methods to implement a platform for investing allow customers to purchase shares of investment funds using a balance in a closed-loop stored-value account, a financial account, and/or both. Part of a balance is (periodically or automatically) withdrawn, and used to fund the purchase. Purchases may be triggered by predetermined and specified content and/or activity occurring in a social media stream associated with a customer. Withdrawals from multiple customers may be aggregated into a single periodical transaction.
