  • Webull UK is a UK-based subsidiary of Webull, one of the world’s leading investment platforms, providing tens of millions of end users from over 180 countries with 24/5 access to financial markets

London, 11. June 2025 - Upvest, Europe’s leading investment infrastructure provider, is today announcing a milestone partnership with Webull UK, a leading online investment platform. Through this strategic partnership, Webull UK end users will be able to access fractional trading in UK stocks and ETFs for the first time via Upvest’s cutting-edge Investment API. This expansion empowers UK-based retail investors to begin their investment journey with Webull with as little as £1.

With operations across the US, Australia, Asia, and the UK, the Webull Group is rapidly growing its position as one of the world’s leading online investment platforms, providing tens of millions of end users across 14 licensed markets with 24/5 access to financial markets worldwide.  

Until now, UK users have used their Webull trading accounts primarily to invest in US and Asian stocks, alongside managing their broader investment and savings portfolios. Through the partnership with Upvest, the Webull offering will shortly extend to UK stocks and ETFs, with the added benefit of fractional trading capabilities in UK assets.

Founded in Berlin in 2017, Upvest is already active in 20 markets and is expanding fast as the European leader in investment infrastructure. Upvest is processing more than 2 million orders per week on behalf of its clients. The company is on track to triple its weekly number of processed orders by end of year.

With strong market momentum driving growth, Upvest is expanding rapidly across the UK. Additional client launches are set to go live before year-end, bringing Upvest's market-leading investment infrastructure to more of the nation’s fintech innovators and established banking institutions.

Symmie Swil, UK GM at Upvest, comments: “At Upvest, our mission is to make investing as easy as spending money. To make this vision a reality, we are focused on putting intuitive and accessible investment tools at the fingertips of every retail investor. This partnership with Webull – one of the world’s fastest growing investment platforms – not only brings us one step closer to that goal, but also gives us a strong head start in the UK.

“Webull end users in the UK will now be able to expand the horizons of their investment portfolios; investing and trading in UK stocks and ETFs. We are very proud to be working with Webull to power this new chapter in their UK product offering. We look forward to enabling Webull to expand its impact across other investment products and in additional markets in the future.”

Nick Saunders, Webull UK CEO, comments: “This partnership represents a significant milestone in our mission to democratise investing for UK customers. By integrating Upvest’s robust infrastructure, we’re giving UK investors a more comprehensive choice to fit their investment needs. The addition of more products, both with this launch and in the future, aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing sophisticated investing tools to our clients, helping make the markets accessible to everyone.

“We’re excited to see how this enhanced offering will empower UK investors to build more diverse portfolios and engage more deeply with both local and overseas markets.”
