DriveWealth powers Ualá's launch of U.S. Stock investing in Mexico. * 14 hours ago Partnership with one of the fastest-growing neobanks in Latin America expands access to fractional U.S. equities, enabling Mexican investors to enter global markets NEW YORK - March 11, 2026 - DriveWealth, a global B2B Brokerage-as-a-Service platform designed to make investing easier for partners and their customers, today announced its partnership with Banco Ualá, a leading Latin American neobank, to launch Acciones (Stocks), a new service enabling Mexican consumers to invest in U.S. equities. Through this collaboration, Ualá users can now invest in shares of some of the world's most recognized companies, including Apple, Amazon and Tesla, starting from just $20 MXN. This is made possible through DriveWealth's modernized, fractional investing infrastructure. The launch marks another step forward in expanding access to global capital markets for a broader population of investors. Historically, investing in the U.S. stock market has often been perceived as complex or accessible only to those with significant capital. In Mexico, only 4.4% of the population currently invests in any financial instrument, according to the CNBV. "DriveWealth was built to democratize access to financial independence and expand access to financial markets through trusted, regulated brokerage infrastructure," said Naureen Hassan, Chief Executive Officer of DriveWealth. "Partnering with Ualá allows us to bring U.S. equities to a broader population of investors in Mexico through a secure, fractional investing experience. We're committed to working together to offer innovative investment solutions to Ualá customers, and helping make investing simple and inclusive, while maintaining the highest standards of execution, custody, and investor protection." By leveraging DriveWealth's brokerage infrastructure and fractional trading capabilities, Ualá can offer customers the ability to purchase fractions of U.S. equities rather than whole shares. This lowers traditional barriers to entry and allows investors to begin building diversified portfolios with smaller amounts of capital while still participating proportionally in potential dividend distributions. The new offering is fully digital and designed to support both new and experienced investors. Key features include: * Personalized portfolio guidance: Within the Acciones (Stocks) section, users answer a series of questions to determine their risk profile and receive portfolio recommendations. * Diversified investment packages: Customers can choose among three portfolio options, including U.S. stocks and ETFs. * Transparency: No account opening or transaction fees, simplifying entry into global markets. * Accessibility: Investments can begin from $20 MXN per transaction through fractional shares. * 24/7 order placement: Investors can place orders anytime, with trades executed when markets open. Through this collaboration, execution, clearing, and custody of assets are supported by DriveWealth's U.S.-regulated API-first brokerage infrastructure, while Ualá delivers the customer-facing digital platform and personalized advisory experience. "At Ualá, we work to make access to finance easier and easier. With the launch of Acciones, we are opening the doors of the global market to millions of Mexicans who previously saw these opportunities as unattainable. Now, starting from 20 pesos and with just a couple of clicks, our clients will be able to protect their savings, obtain dividends, and participate in the growth of the world's largest companies," commented Pablo Savoldelli, Regional Director of Wealth Management at Ualá. This collaboration reflects DriveWealth's continued momentum in expanding access to investors worldwide. As demand for accessible investing capabilities continues to rise across emerging and established markets alike, DriveWealth remains focused on helping partners launch innovative investment products that bring regulated, secure market access to new generations of investors.

DriveWealth to integrate Kalshi's event contracts into its brokerage platform. * DriveWealth will integrate Kalshi's regulated prediction markets into its brokerage-as-a-service platform, enabling fintechs to offer event contracts alongside stocks and ETFs. * Kalshi, which processes over $100 billion in annualized volume, is expanding distribution through DriveWealth's brokerage infrastructure. * As prediction markets move into the financial mainstream, event contracts are emerging as a new tradable asset class that could follow the adoption path of options and crypto. Digital trading and brokerage company DriveWealth is teaming up with prediction market platform Kalshi in a move to capitalize on the growing interest in events contracts. The New Jersey-based company plans to integrate Kalshi's event contracts into its brokerage platform. The integration allows clients using DriveWealth's brokerage-as-a-service platform to offer event-driven markets alongside more traditional equities, ETFs, and other traditional asset classes within the same interface. Kalshi allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events such as elections, economic indicators, weather, sports, and more in a fully regulated environment. Because it offers investment opportunities based on highly publicized events such as sporting and political events, Kalshi brings an approachable new asset class that has quickly become mainstream. Kalshi currently attracts over $100 billion in annualized volume. Rather than operating purely as a standalone trading venue, Kalshi has increasingly positioned itself as infrastructure for fintech platforms seeking to add regulated event contracts to their product mix. "DriveWealth's global reach and embedded brokerage infrastructure make them an ideal partner to Kalshi," said Kalshi Co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour. "Our goal is to provide leading fintech platforms with more access to regulated prediction markets." The new integration also places DriveWealth in the footsteps of Robinhood, which began integrating Kalshi's prediction market platform into its investing app in August of last year. Other investment platforms leveraging Kalshi include WeBull and PrizePicks. Offering an increasingly popular asset class like prediction markets enables DriveWealth clients to attract new users while deepening engagement with existing investors who may currently trade on external platforms. For end users, consolidating multiple investment opportunities within a single platform simplifies portfolio tracking and performance monitoring across markets. For DriveWealth clients, the addition modernizes their product offering while strengthening customer retention and growth. As prediction markets gain regulatory clarity and mainstream traction, DriveWealth sees the Kalshi integration as a way to future-proof its brokerage infrastructure. "Our integration with Kalshi strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge market opportunities to our partners," said DriveWealth CEO Naureen Hassan. "DriveWealth was built to power the future of global investing through scalable, API-driven technology, and Kalshi's forward-thinking approach to market design makes for a natural fit. Together, we're uniquely positioned to equip our partners with the latest financial innovations and next-generation market access for their clients." Overall, prediction markets are on a major growth trajectory this year. Prediction markets have evolved from niche academic tools and offshore betting platforms into regulated investing tools with growing institutional backing. As retail investors increasingly seek alternative ways to grow their funds, prediction markets create a new category of tradable risk exposure. If distribution partnerships like those with Robinhood and DriveWealth continue to scale, event contracts could follow a trajectory similar to options or crypto that were once fringe, but are now embedded into modern product stacks.

DriveWealth, a B2B brokerage-as-a-service platform, has announced plans to partner with Kalshi, the world's largest prediction market, to integrate event contracts into its API-first platform. The collaboration will enable DriveWealth's partners to offer prediction markets alongside traditional assets like equities and ETFs. Kalshi's regulated exchange allows trading on real-world events including elections, economic indicators, weather and sports, attracting over $100 billion in annualised volume. Through the integration, DriveWealth partners will be able to provide clients with tools for portfolio diversification and risk management within their existing brokerage framework. The partnership aims to expand global access to regulated prediction markets whilst maintaining compliance standards, reflecting growing retail investor demand for alternative asset classes.
