FAQ
What is brokerage-as-a-service?
APIs for custody, order execution and portfolio management so your app can offer stocks/ETFs without your own brokerage licence. Fintechnologica lists 10 verified providers (7 European-origin) - the European answer to Alpaca/DriveWealth.
Why does custody jurisdiction matter?
Whoever holds client assets determines the investor-protection regime and the data jurisdiction. EU-core providers (BaFin-supervised Upvest, Lemon Markets...) keep custody and control inside the EEA - a real differentiator vs routing European retail flow through US infrastructure.
