After exploding on the social media scene in 2016, TikTok has now exceeded 2 billion downloads and is seen as one of the fastest-growing social platforms among younger users.

With 41per cent of TikTok users being between the ages of 16 to 24, TikTok gives a glimpse into what the future holds for  content creation and consumption.

While the majority of TikTok videos centre around dancing, lip-syncing, comedy and hashtag challenges, there are finance-focused TikTok channels that are carving out a niche on the platform.

As of writing, posts under #finance had 321.8 million views while #personalfinance had 162.4 million views. In videos of length 60 seconds or less, TikTok’s constraints provide a unique challenge for finance content creators to reach out to a whole new generation.

To get you started, here are 5 TikTok accounts you can check out and follow to learn more about investing, insurance and personal finance in general.
