It is actually meant to work in that way. You can create a pie and decide not to deposit any funds at that moment. The pie is created at the moment that the slices are added and you pick a name for it, but you can come back later and deposit at any time suitable for you whether it’s manually or by picking an AutoInvest schedule.
By steps above, I set up autoinvest schedule. I just avoided initial deposit. If this is work as intended, then why you have mandatory initial deposit on screen? As you cannot set initial deposit 0$.
Hi @Vedran, we know about the “exploit”. We create the pie once you reach the payment step. If for some reason your payment fails, or you simply can’t pay now (e.g. you just realised your card expired) it wouldn’t be great from a user experience viewpoint not to allow you to proceed.
As for why we require the £1 minimum initial deposit - not all payment methods allow authorisation without making an actual charge.
