Upvest provides an Investment-as-a-Service API that lets fintechs, banks, and other businesses embed investment features into their apps, covering brokerage, settlement, and custody with the needed regulatory licenses. Its plug-and-play, modular API runs in the cloud and handles the full trading lifecycle—from account creation to order execution, custody, and reporting—while supporting assets like stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Upvest differentiates itself with end-to-end regulatory and operational coverage across Europe (BaFin and FCA licenses) and a track record with big customers, enabling firms to offer investing without building their own infrastructure. The company’s goal is to make investing as easy for end-users as spending money, by helping businesses launch investment products quickly and at scale.
