Bruene describes Personal Capital as “a truly virtual financial institution, a complete financial service that is focused on user experience and has the ability to move much faster without the regulatory friction experienced by traditional financial institutions.”
Personal Capital CEO Bill Harris said “we aim to deliver two things:
– Customers should be able to do anything related to their money, instantly with a few clicks or taps.
– Financial services should be custom-built around a 360-degree view of the financial life of each customer.”
