Our take
Robo-advisory products and fractional share trading have expanded the investment industry's reach, attracting a broader audience than ever before. This shift has necessitated a redesign of the fintech industry's infrastructure to support the growing demand for accessible and efficient investment options.
DriveWealth plays a pivotal role in this transformation by developing APIs that serve over 100 global fintechs, challenger banks, and digital wallets. Its infrastructure enables seamless robo-advisory services and fractional share trading, giving retail investors access to the US markets and offering innovative stock reward programs. Among its partners are notable companies like Revolut, MoneyLion, and Hemista.
As the company continues to grow, it remains focused on scaling its business by enhancing its technology stack, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and expanding its team. And is well on its way to its ultimate goal of providing tools that empower companies to create investment products that are both accessible and convenient for everyone.
