ABN AMRO has already been accompanying Upvest’s entrepreneurial journey since 2021, through ABN AMRO Ventures. With their technology partnership, both partners mutually benefit from their expertise in the area of capital markets and information technology. Upvest's investment API and core banking system enable B2B clients, including those without their own banking license, to benefit from the full range of investment services, from ETFs and stocks to crypto assets.

"We believe that for existing banks such as ABN AMRO, as well as new and upcoming financial service providers, brokerage will establish itself as an integrated financial offering. Upvest is well positioned with its platform to enable this across borders, markets and products. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey ahead," says Tim Wanders, Director at ABN AMRO Ventures. “Upvest is one of the few European startups that combines a deep understanding of the capital markets with an outstanding tech DNA.
