“When looking at possible partners to offer access to ETFs and stocks listed in EEA markets to our European customers, Upvest was our preferred selected choice. They offered the infrastructure that enabled us to offer ETFs to our customers in a short time, just after our EEA trading entity operationalization was completed.”

Rolandas Juteika, Head of Wealth and Trading (EEA) at Revolut

“We are delighted to partner up with Upvest. Today’s legacy brokerage and custody infrastructure became a limiting factor for our company’s growth. Upvest's solution offers us a scalable and borderless option to further expand our business."

Lars Reiner, CEO of Ginmon

“With Upvest we found a partner that matches our speed and provides us with a cutting-edge, scalable and pan-European solution. We will be able to take social investing to new heights and instantly meet the needs of our users: reliable and promising investment opportunities, coupled with a community-driven experience. Upvest’s investment API allows us to expand our investment services to new markets in a fast and sustainable way.”
