Raenest's July 2026 Roundup

I came across a riddle recently, and it's been living rent-free in my head ever since. The kind that seems ridiculously simple until you try to answer it, and then suddenly you're halfway through your day arguing with yourself about whether you're overthinking it.

It goes like this: The more you take away from me, the bigger I become. What am I?

I'm convinced the answer is a hole. But then again, riddles have a habit of making perfectly sensible people doubt themselves, so maybe I'm wrong. What do you think?

While you mull that over, here's everything we were up to at Raenest in July.

We gave out Rewards 

One of our favourite moments this month? Seeing eligible customers receive Rewards straight into their Reward Wallets.

Rewards are our way of saying thank you to customers who make Raenest part of their everyday financial lives. From receiving international payments and maintaining a healthy USD balance to spending with your USD card and converting funds, every qualifying activity brings you one step closer to receiving a pleasant surprise.

If you didn't receive a Reward this time, don't let that be your story next time. Keep your account active to improve your chances of qualifying. (T&Cs apply.) Learn more about how to qualify for Rewards here. 

Our community members got Merches too

Still on rewards, we invited members of the Raenest community to tell us their favourite thing to do on the Raenest app and how it has helped them on their financial journey. The responses gave us a deeper understanding of the features our community loves most and reminded us why we keep building.

To say thank you, we surprised five lucky community members with exclusive Raenest merch boxes and our limited edition Raenest jersey. Winners were announced throughout the week, making every day a little more exciting in the community.

Beyond the giveaways, our community is where members share experiences, exchange ideas, and get closer to everything happening at Raenest.

If you haven't joined yet, we'd love to have you. You never know what conversation, opportunity, or surprise might be waiting for you.

We created more resources for you

Every month, we add a few more answers to the internet.

In July, we published practical guides to help you work smarter, get paid with less hassle, and stay one step ahead. Whether you're trying to receive Fiverr payments in Ghana, understand chargeback fraud, start freelancing in Egypt, or figure out how to add your Raenest card to Apple Pay or Google Pay, we've got a guide waiting for you.

Head over to the Raenest Blog to explore fresh insights, practical tips, and step-by-step guides designed to help you earn, spend, and grow your wealth. Your next "I didn't know that" moment might be just one article away

Have you started your investment journey?

If not, there's no better time than now. Getting started doesn't mean having all the answers. Sometimes, it simply means taking the first step. And if you're not sure where to begin, one of the easiest ways to start is to see what other investors are investing in. Here are a few trends we're seeing on Raenest:

• Apple remains the most traded stock by order count, making it the platform favourite.
• VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) leads by investment volume, reflecting a growing preference for diversified, long-term investing.
• NVIDIA continues to attract larger individual investments as customers position themselves around the continued growth of artificial intelligence.
• Coca-Cola remains a popular portfolio holding, proving that established global companies continue to earn a place in long-term investment strategies.

Now, of course, there's no one-size-fits-all portfolio, and this is not financial advice. But seeing where others are investing can be a helpful starting point as you build one that's right for you.

If those insights have you thinking about your own portfolio, Raenest makes it easy to take that first step. With access to over 4,000 US stocks and ETFs, you have everything you need to start investing, one share at a time. Start your Investment journey on Raenest today.

Have you been keeping up with us?

If you only catch up with Raenest through your inbox, you're missing a lot. This July we had exciting engagements across our social channels. From a $500 giveaway during the biggest football match of the summer, bringing our social audience together to celebrate the game, to catching up with media personality Pooja, who showed how he relied on his Raenest Card throughout his summer trip across the US, using it for everything from flights and hotel bookings to everyday spending, it was an exciting time.

Bella's Gems

July had a way of slipping by before we even noticed. Now that August is here, it's the perfect excuse to slow down for a moment before life gets busy again. So, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, make yourself a cup of something warm (or something cold, depending on the weather), and take your pick from this month's Gems.

And that's a wrap on July. Thanks for spending a few minutes with me; I’m glad you're here. Here's to making August even more rewarding. See you next month!
