Case Study: Quantl achieves faster onboarding and access to US fractional investing with Alpaca

How Quantl is Transforming Access to US Markets

Quantl, an AI-powered algorithmic robo-trading platform, sought to transform passive investing for everyday investors in the Middle East. They faced significant challenges with a slow, manual brokerage account onboarding process and a lack of accessible, data-driven tools for investing in US markets. To overcome these obstacles, Quantl partnered with the vendor Alpaca and leveraged their Broker API.

By integrating Alpaca's Broker API, Quantl drastically reduced the investor onboarding process from a multi-day, manual ordeal to a simple, self-serve online experience requiring just an ID card. The solution also provided streamlined access to US stocks and ETFs through fractional shares, eliminating the need for complex products like CFDs. Alpaca’s developer-friendly documentation and responsive engineering support were crucial in enabling the Quantl team to build and launch their platform efficiently.
