Verdict
DriveWealth runs the brokerage layer so partners can put investing in their own app via one integration for execution, custody, tax reporting, onboarding, and KYC and AML, and it says production can come in 90 days at the shortest. Its fractional engine works to eight decimal places on orders from $0.01, supports up to 24-hour sessions in US equities, and clients named during 2026 include Acorns, Revolut, Freetrade and MoneyLion.
The European entity, which has held a Bank of Lithuania licence since October 2024, and excess SIPC coverage up to $50 million for each account, back the international model. Pricing is unpublished, the business is organized around partners and leaves advisors outside that setup, and DriveWealth's own trade-volume figures start at 3.1 million a day and reach up to 10 million a day, depending on the page.
