Abstract: In some embodiments, a request may be received from a customer via an interface, wherein the request indicates (i) a social media stream associated with the customer to be monitored for instances of investment triggering content (ITC). A customer account of the customer may be configured based on the request. The social media stream may be monitored for instances of ITC based on the customer account configuration. Responsive to the monitoring detecting an instance of ITC, a first amount may be withdrawn from the customer account, and a purchase of a quantity of shares of an investment fund may be executed on behalf of the customer using the withdrawn first amount.

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 Part of a balance is (periodically or automatically) withdrawn, and used to fund the purchase.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.

Abstract: Approaches to facilitating targeted-advertisement-based event savings programs are provided. In certain implementations, a product or service type may be associated with a user. An advertisement identifying a product or service that relates to the associated product or service type may be provided for presentation to the user. A purchase of the product or service by the user responsive to providing the advertisement may be determined. An amount may be credited to an account on behalf of a beneficiary associated with user based on the purchase of the product or service by the user. In some implementations, a credit amount associated with purchasing the product or service may be determined. An estimated future value of the credit amount with respect to a time that corresponds to a predetermined life event associated with the account may be determined. The estimated future value may be provided for presentation to the user.
