At StockRepublic, we’re constantly striving to create tools that make investing easier and more transparent for end-users. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new feature in our product for banks & brokers: 

. This feature is designed to give investors an edge in understanding and planning their investments by providing clear and actionable insights into upcoming dividend payouts.

With the new dividends feature, users can:

 Get a clear overview of all upcoming dividend payouts for the stocks they hold.

 Click on each instrument to dive deeper into the specifics of its dividend schedule, yield, and payment history.

By integrating this feature into the app, we aim to provide investors with better visibility into one of the most attractive aspects of stock ownership—passive income.

Dividends are a critical component of many investment strategies. Whether you’re a seasoned income investor or just beginning your financial journey, understanding when and how much you’re earning through dividends helps in making informed decisions.

 Knowing upcoming payout dates can aid in aligning dividends with financial goals or expenses.

 New investors can better understand the impact of dividends on long-term portfolio growth.

 This feature adds an extra layer of data for analyzing the performance of dividend-paying stocks.

The feature is intuitive and seamlessly integrated into the product interface:

Users can navigate to their investment overview or to the financial instrument of their choice.

Tap the “Upcoming dividends” section to see a consolidated list of upcoming payouts.

Click on any stock for detailed insights, including past dividend trends and payment consistency.

This update is not just a win for end-users—it’s a game-changer for our partner banks. By enhancing the app with dividends tracking, banks can offer their customers a richer investment experience. This added layer of functionality drives engagement, deepens customer trust, and reinforces the bank's role as a reliable partner in wealth management.

At StockRepublic, we’re always exploring additional features that can optimize the investment experience for end-users. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and help banks empower their customers with tools that transform how they invest.

This year, we took StockRepublic into new markets and built partnerships we’re incredibly proud of:

StockRepublic can activate those already existing customers, boosting revenue and profitability through portfolio analysis and social networking features. In this webinar, we will discuss real-world case studies where banks and brokers have achieved measurable growth by activating passive customers and creating engaging communities.

The Hidden Opportunity for Online Banks & Brokers: Engaging Passive Investors & Boosting Trades Through Social Investing

We’re excited to announce our latest product update - enhanced transaction posts.

- Instantly see gains or losses (green and red indicators) when selling an instrument.

- New labels indicate transaction types like first-time buys, partial sales, complete liquidations, and more.

 - Clear percentage breakdowns show the impact of each new instrument purchase.

 - Company icons alongside the user profile image allow for a cleaner visual display.

As before, users can continue to react and comment on other users’ transaction posts and of course, add headers and descriptions to their own transaction posts. We anticipate that these latest transaction updates will inspire increased sharing, facilitate open dialogues about investing, and ultimately equip users with more knowledge to make smart investment decisions.

Transaction Posts, Evolved

Explore our updated transaction posts with insights into portfolios, profit & loss, recurrence, and more.

four ways for banks to engage their users

. What about what not to do? Here are three actions we do not recommend:

1. Create trading gamification incentives

Incorporating gamification elements into your banking platform to make investing fun and rewarding may seem like a plus, however, it is extremely tricky to implement in practice. There are many regulatory rules in every country that prevent this sort of gamification in order to protect retail investors – investors need to know they are investing 

 money and that each transaction has financial consequences. We advise banks to avoid trying to integrate challenges, badges, and leader boards to encourage a boost in transactions as this will most likely get shut down by regulators. This year online brokerage Robinhood had to pay a $7.5M USD fine in a settlement with Massachusetts' securities regulators, who say that it encouraged inexperienced investors to place risky trades.

Copy trading, or the automatic replication of trades from traders without the need for social interaction or decision-making, can be tempting as it helps investors diversify their portfolios and in theory gives a bank more opportunity to collect trade fees. (It should not be confused with social trading or social investing, which involves a community where traders actively share information and insights, fostering a collaborative environment.) The risks, however, outweigh these benefits and therefore we advise banks to steer clear of this. Not only is it a hands-off method (this will not encourage actual engagement in the platform), but it is also risky for investors. Investors have different risk tolerances, past performance does not guarantee future results, not everyone has the same access to information – these are just some of the reasons why copy trading is dicey.

Of course, you have the option to not change anything and hope for the best. We don’t suggest this and chances are, your user engagement will not only just stay stagnant, but also decline over time as users flock to competitor platforms that fit their needs and expectations!

 (and avoid), we have one final thought to share – when deciding which action to take, don’t forget to get real feedback on your bank’s products and services. Sometimes, allowing users to give their opinion on their experience gives you all the information you need to improve your app. This can help banks understand the needs and preferences of their customers, which will guide them to make necessary changes to keep users engaged.

Don’t Make These Three Customer Engagement Mistakes 

These are three actions we do not recommend as a bank looking to engage more customers. 

Q2 2024 flew by for a few reasons. We kept busy developing our product to make the best social investing experience possible, launching a new customer, prepping for a future launch (more to come…), and meeting with prospect clients. 

Here’s a closer look at what we’ve been up to:

1. Expanding Our Customer Base and Enhancing User Experiences

We are excited to announce our partnership with Trove, a Nigerian neobroker. Trove recently launched Trove Social, a new feature powered by our API. This innovative platform allows users to connect with other investors, view portfolios, and learn from their strategies. With Trove Social, users can track market trends, engage in real-time discussions, and benchmark their portfolio performance against the broader market. This launch marks a significant milestone for us, highlighting the global applicability and effectiveness of our API product.

 We have also been working on enhancing the user experience for Placera, one of Sweden's largest financial sites and a subsidiary of Avanza. By optimizing the 

 with a clearer sign-up call-to-action and prompts, we’ve made it easier for Swedish investors to join, discuss, and follow all financial instruments available on the Avanza trading platform. This improvement fosters a more dynamic and engaged community of investors.

2. Advancing Our Product and Online Presence

To provide greater transparency and better decision-making tools for investors, we have updated our financial instrument and portfolio pages with clear Buy & Sell Points. This feature allows users to see the price fluctuations of instruments they own or previously owned, helping them make more informed investment decisions.

 to include five new animated videos that showcase the user experience of our white-label social investing app. Additionally, we launched the 

, which explains the benefits of social trading and why brokers should consider integrating it into their platforms. These updates not only enhance our online presence but also provide valuable information to potential clients and users.

This quarter, we had the opportunity to attend several key events, including Money20/20 in the Netherlands and Invest Stuttgart in Germany. We also engaged in multiple partnership meetings across France and Norway. These events allowed us to connect with incredible financial innovators and discuss the future of retail banking and social trading. The excitement and energy we encountered reaffirm our belief in the transformative power of community-driven investing.

As we head into summer, we are proud of the strides we’ve made and eager to recharge and prepare for the second half of the year. We continue to see the impact of our products within our existing clients – driving more trades, increasing platform engagement, and attracting younger audiences.

Our team remains committed to enhancing the social investing experience and expanding our reach globally. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the coming months!

Q2 2024: A Quarter of Progress and Expansion

We kept busy developing our product to make the best social investing experience possible, launching a new customer, prepping for a future launch, and meeting with prospect clients.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new API customer, Trove, in a whole new continent – Africa. Founded in 2018, Trove is a neobroker with 200K users that facilitates seamless investments in local Nigerian (as well as Chinese and American) financial markets through its app and web platforms.

Why did Trove choose StockRepublic’s social trading API to elevate its existing product?

In order to empower its users with knowledge from successful investors, increase engagement, and make investing fun, Trove chose to partner with StockRepublic to enhance its current product.

Thanks to StockRepublic’s API, the Nigerian company recently released Trove Social, a new feature that allows members to follow and connect with other investors, see their portfolios, and learn from their strategies. With Trove Social, users can now track market trends, engage with fellow investors in real-time, and evaluate their portfolio performance against broader benchmarks.

These new enhancements will empower Trove’s community to make more informed investment decisions. Additionally, Trove Social’s launch is an important milestone for us at StockRepublic as it demonstrates solid product-market fit with our API product as well as traction in the global market. Our expansion to a new country and continent reaffirms our commitment to democratizing investing worldwide.

We've enhanced our financial instrument and portfolio pages to provide even more valuable insights. Wondering if you bought at the peak? Sold at the lowest point in the past three months? Now, when you visit the page of an instrument you own or previously owned, you'll gain visibility into its past and current price comparisons.

Explore our new feature that allows users to see exactly how an instrument changed before and after their transaction.

The Start of Buy & Sell Points

As we reflect on the first quarter of 2024, we’re excited to share some updates, learnings, and achievements over the past three months.

1. User Engagement - Fostering Vibrant Communities

At StockRepublic, we take pride in fostering engaging online investing communities, and the first quarter of 2024 was no exception. In January, we witnessed the extraordinary dedication of our hi!stocks users, who organized a meetup 

 of the app, showcasing the real-world impact of our platform in bringing investors together.

Moreover, we achieved record-breaking levels of engagement across multiple investor communities. In January, comdirect's hi!stocks achieved an all-time high monthly social score with a 15% year-over-year growth. (Social score is a weighted score aggregating posts, replies, reactions, and follows across all the app users.) Then in February, there was a surge in activity on Avanza Placera's forum, with over 3,000 posts recorded in a single day, marking a 16% growth from the previous daily record. These milestones underscore the active participation of retail investors, a positive signal for the year ahead.

2. User Returns - Empowering Financial Growth

Our commitment to democratizing investing and delivering tangible benefits to our users has yielded promising results. An analysis of our hi!stocks user base revealed a notable increase in financial returns following their engagement with our platform. 62.8% of users experienced higher returns after joining hi!stocks, with an average increase of 3.55 percentage points.

At StockRepublic, our mission is to make investing more accessible and transparent for everyone, ultimately providing higher returns. These results show we're on the right track!

3. Product - Making Investing More Inclusive

On the Product front, we’ve released a few exciting improvements in Q1. Most notably, now users can generate polls and share their weekly report directly in the feed to get direct feedback from the community.


With the new poll function, users can write any question they desire and add up to six response options. Once posted, other users can easily vote on their favorite option with a simple click of a button. Additionally, the ability to share one’s weekly report (a roundup of winners & losers and benchmark against the index) allows more transparency into how others are performing on a weekly basis. We’re excited to see how our end-users continue to engage on our apps with these new features!

4. Customers - Captivated by Gen Z's Potential

More and more, we’ve noticed our bank and broker clients have been keenly attuned to the evolving landscape shaped by Generation Z. With their innate affinity for technology, social consciousness, and financial drive, Gen Z represents a demographic that demands attention.

Gen Z's inclination towards social trading is already apparent, as illustrated by a breakdown in one of our client’s user base. One of our clients witnessed a remarkable +235% increase in Gen Z users when comparing their core user base to the user base of their social trading app that was developed by StockRepublic.

As we continue our journey into the second quarter of 2024, we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping our clients activate their users to ultimately drive more financial education, empowerment, and wealth.

Q1 2024 Recap: Record Engagement, Greater Returns & More

The retail investing market has evolved and shifted away from traditional face-to-face financial advice. More and more investors are now embracing online trading platforms like Robinhood, eToro, and TradeRepublic, marking a transition to a faster and more digital world. Everyday investors are turning to social platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok for peer-to-peer investment advice. And that’s not to mention the very active communities on platforms like Reddit and Discord, where investors share detailed insights about their market predictions and activities.

The rise of more diversified financial knowledge, however, is not without its faults. Meme stocks (those that gain popularity among retail investors through social media) are unpredictable and volatile. Experiences of jumping on bandwagons and losing money quickly are all too familiar to some.

Despite the plethora of information, finding a trustworthy source remains challenging. The era of promising overnight wealth with vague stock recommendations is losing credibility. There needs to be legitimacy in the space. This can take form in social trading products (like the ones we at StockRepublic build!). Social trading apps are a legitimate form of sharing financial knowledge and shouldn’t get a bad reputation.

Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) knows this. They are technology obsessed, digitally native, socially conscious, independent, and financially motivated. They take their finances seriously and a majority of them rely on multiple sources, including social platforms, to make investment decisions.

Social trading apps allow customers to get the best possible real-time benchmark, guidance, and inspiration for investing. Investors can compare their returns to those of their peers, learn from top investor strategies, and share their own gains (or losses). These factors instill confidence and empower investors to make informed financial choices.

Gen Z's inclination towards social trading is already apparent, as illustrated by a breakdown in one of our client’s user base. Specifically, when comparing the bank’s core user base to the user base of its social trading app (built by StockRepublic), there was a +235% increase in Gen Z users.

Still, social trading as a powerful financial instrument is one that remains underutilized by many banks and brokers. As we navigate the evolving landscape of finance, embracing the potential of social trading is a key step toward democratizing access to financial insights and fostering a more informed, empowered generation of investors.

Why Social Trading Matters to Gen Z

Learn how social trading will support a more informed and empowered generation of investors.

Why Social Trading Matters to Generation Z

As we reflect on the past year, I am thrilled to share some exciting news and achievements that have defined our journey. Despite the challenges faced by many in the industry, StockRepublic has not only weathered the storm, but also emerged stronger than ever.

In a year where venture capital faced headwinds, we defied the odds by oversubscribing our funding round, 

 for expansion and growth. This milestone positions us for even greater success in the future.

While others experienced layoffs, we expanded our team, welcoming six talented individuals across various departments (sales, marketing, growth, product, engineering). Their combined expertise and passion will undoubtedly contribute to our continued success. Plus, we’re still looking for a 

Our attendance at Finovate Europe in London and FinTech Triple in Berlin allowed us to connect with industry leaders and showcase our commitment to banking innovation on a global stage.

We are pleased to report we grew revenue +100% YoY from leading actors in Germany, the UK, Sweden, and beyond. This achievement underscores the trust our customers place in our solutions.

 Our social trading products continue to help grow our customers’ businesses. We’re proud of our ability to activate passive users and increase trades per user. For one customer, we increased trades for the average investor by +20%!

 demonstrates our dedication to providing cutting-edge tools for our users. Plus, we even transformed the design of our website to make sure everyone can understand the value-add of our products.

: We're proud to announce that our hi!stocks app (built for our client, comdirect) was honored as 

, a testament to the excellence and innovation embedded in our products.

 Our focus in the coming year is on launching more customers and providing the best social trading experience in the world. We’re excited to continue enhancing our product offerings to better serve our customers across markets.

 We're committed to continuous improvement, with plans to expand the API side of our business, ensuring our solutions remain at the forefront of industry standards.

 As we move forward, StockRepublic remains dedicated to not only boosting the bottom line of our clients, but also helping everyday investors achieve higher returns.

We are grateful for the unwavering support of our community and excited for what the future holds. Here's to a prosperous and successful 2024!
