What We Do

Over the past ten years, DriveWealth has been breaking down the barriers between global investors and U.S. markets and improving the financial lives of people that have been traditionally underserved and underbanked.

DriveWealth is growing quickly, and we need your help! This year we plan to getting close to doubling our headcount. We've raised over $100M so far from seasoned fin-tech investors Route 66, Point 72, and Raptor.
