Introduction

📘

Welcome to DriveWealth's developer documentation. Everything your technical team needs to integrate the full investment lifecycle into your product.

DriveWealth is a fully regulated, API-first brokerage infrastructure platform purpose-built for financial institutions, global banks, and technology companies seeking to embed world-class investing experiences into their products.

Trusted by clients across the United States, Latin America, EMEA, and APAC, DriveWealth powers the full investment lifecycle — from account opening and funding to trading, custody, clearing, and regulatory reporting — through a single, modern API integration.


What You Can Build

DriveWealth's platform supports a wide range of investment products and client models, including:

  • Embedded brokerage — offer self-directed trading of US equities, ETFs, mutual funds, options, and fixed income natively within your existing product
  • Robo-advisory & managed accounts — automate portfolio construction, rebalancing, and AUM fee collection via AutoPilot
  • Round-up & fractional investing — DriveWealth pioneered fractional share investing and provides the infrastructure to support micro-investment experiences at scale
  • Retirement accounts — offer traditional and Roth IRAs alongside standard brokerage accounts
  • Global access — enable non-US customers to invest in US markets with built-in KYC, AML, and cross-border compliance support

Built for Enterprise

DriveWealth's platform is designed to meet the standards of the world's leading financial institutions:

  • Regulatory compliance — fully FINRA and SEC registered, with built-in support for KYC, AML, tax withholding (W-8/W-9, 1446(f), 871(m)), and required investor disclosures
  • Reliability at scale — modern cloud-native architecture built to handle high transaction volumes across global markets
  • Real-time infrastructure — event-driven notifications via SQS keep your platform in sync with every order, position, and account change as it happens
  • Shared technical support — every client is assigned a Relationship Manager and has access to our Solutions Engineering team to guide integration and ongoing product expansion
