Case Study: N26 launches stocks, ETFs, and PEAs rapidly with Upvest

N26 launches Stocks and ETFs in 6 months with Upvest

N26, a digital bank on a mission to be a beloved financial platform, needed to quickly expand its product offering to include accessible investing for its European customer base. The challenge was to find a reliable and scalable investment infrastructure to integrate stocks and ETFs into its app without a lengthy development process. N26 chose to partner with Upvest and leverage its API-first investment infrastructure to meet this need rapidly.

By implementing Upvest's Investment API, N26 was able to launch fractional stock and ETF investing in its core markets in just six months. The solution provided end-to-end functionality, from user management to compliance. The results were significant, with the offering quickly gaining traction: three out of four users who signed up were actively trading, and over 80% of them were first-time or beginner investors. The partnership with Upvest enabled N26 to rapidly roll out specialized products like the French PEA account and achieve a swift expansion across 18+ European markets.
