Our take
Upvest is a fintech startup that empowers financial services companies to provide their customers with access to a full range of financial assets, including stocks, ETFs and crypto products. Upvest's investment API integrates seamlessly with its customers existing systems and is designed to scale easily, freeing companies from the need to develop their own brokerage and custody infrastructure from scratch.
As one of the few companies in Germany that is licensed for both the custody of traditional securities and crypto, Upvest is able to provide its services across Europe. Its solution has been readily adopted by some major players in the space including Ginmon, Vivid and ABN AMRO.
Upvest is backed by a number of Europe's largest tech VCs, alongside American investment monolith BlackRock. In 2023, it closed a VC investment round that one of the largest in the German fintech arena. It has gone on to secure further funding which supports ventures such as absorbing the complexity of new local tax wrappers, rolling out AI-supported investment engines, and speeding up the rate at which clients can bring pension products to market .
