SumUp partners Upvest to launch in-app investments. By vriti gothi. SumUp has partnered with Upvest to introduce in-app investment capabilities for small businesses and merchants, marking a further step in the convergence of payments, banking, and wealth management within FinTech platforms. The new feature enables merchants to invest surplus balances into fractional money market funds directly within the SumUp app, with entry points starting at €1. Initially launching in Germany, the offering is expected to expand across Europe and the UK, extending capital markets access to SMEs already using SumUp's business banking services. The move reflects a broader industry shift towards embedded finance models that integrate investment products into everyday financial workflows. By incorporating money market funds typically composed of short-term, high-quality debt instruments SumUp is positioning the feature as a low-risk, liquid option for businesses seeking returns on idle cash without moving funds خارج its core platform. Upvest's API-first investment infrastructure underpins the offering, handling trade execution, custody, settlement, and regulatory reporting. This allows SumUp to integrate investment functionality without building capital markets infrastructure in-house, reducing operational complexity while accelerating time to market. Felix Lamouroux, SVP Global Banking at SumUp, said the initiative addresses a common challenge among small businesses managing liquidity. "Too often this money sits idle in deposits, when it could be earning interest through investments. By bringing simple, low-risk investment options onto the SumUp platform, merchants can build wealth on their existing deposits within a familiar environment," he said. Martin Kassing, CEO and co-founder of Upvest, added that the partnership demonstrates how investment infrastructure can be embedded at scale. "This partnership shows how modern investment infrastructure can make capital markets investing accessible and operationally simple," he said. Strategically, the launch underscores SumUp's ambition to evolve from a payments provider into a broader financial services platform for SMEs. For the sector, it highlights increasing competition among FinTechs to capture a larger share of customer financial activity by embedding savings and investment tools alongside core payment and banking services. As interest rates and cash management remain key concerns for small businesses, the integration of yield-generating products into operational accounts could reshape how SMEs manage working capital - blurring the lines between treasury management and everyday business banking.

Why are SumUp and Upvest backing embedded investing? March 25, 2026 SumUp is partnering with Upvest to let merchants invest idle cash via in-app money market funds, turning everyday banking into an investment platform Global fintech SumUp has shared a new integrated investment feature that lets small businesses earn on their idle deposits - showing just how its platform has grown from payments to full-spectrum financial management. The company is partnering with Berlin-based Upvest to deliver the service through an API-first model, enabling SumUp's four million merchants to invest directly in euro-denominated money market funds starting with as little as €1 (US$1.16). Initially launching in Germany this month, the functionality will roll out across Europe and the UK in the coming months. The goal, SumUp says, is to give merchants an accessible way to grow surplus cash without complexity or exposure to high-risk investments. Embedded wealth management to support small businesses. By adding investment options to its existing business banking suite, SumUp is blurring traditional boundaries between payments, banking and investment. The move reflects a broader trend in embedded finance - empowering SMEs to manage all financial operations within one digital platform. The new investing feature sits natively within the SumUp app, where merchants already manage day-to-day transactions, card payments and cash advances. Users can now allocate part of their available balance into money market funds - low-risk instruments designed to preserve capital and provide liquidity - without leaving the platform. Behind the scenes, Upvest's investment API powers the full stack of infrastructure, from order execution and custody to regulatory reporting and tax processing. "Small businesses are under constant pressure to set money aside for a rainy day. Yet too often this money sits idle in deposits, when it could be earning interest through investments," says Felix Lamouroux, SVP Global Banking at SumUp. "That's why Fintech Magazine is thrilled to be partnering with Upvest to help build investing into the everyday banking experience for small business owners. "By bringing simple, low-risk investment options onto the SumUp platform, merchants can build wealth on their existing deposits all within a trusted, familiar environment." This emphasises how, for SumUp, the partnership is rooted in a clear mission: to help small businesses build financial resilience and grow wealth over time. The approach not only modernises SumUp's banking ecosystem but also gives SMEs access to opportunities that were once exclusive to larger corporations or specialist financial institutions. Ensuring innovation is infrastructure-first. Upvest's involvement further drives home how API-driven investment infrastructure is transforming capital markets access. Its platform handles the operational and regulatory complexities - execution, settlement, custody and compliance - behind the scenes, freeing partners like SumUp to focus on user experience. Martin Kassing, Co-Founder and CEO of Upvest, says: "Fintech Magazine is proud to be working with SumUp to seamlessly integrate investing capabilities into everyday business banking. "Powered by Upvest's Investment API, SumUp can now offer a best-in-class investment proposition for merchants to grow their wealth. "This partnership shows how modern investment infrastructure can make capital markets investing accessible and operationally simple at scale." Upvest already powers investment features for several high-growth fintechs, including Revolut, N26, Webull and Raisin. Its collaboration with SumUp shows how the company's infrastructure model can extend beyond consumer finance and into the realm of small business banking. Company portals.
