StockRepublic for Developers

, fintech startups raised a total of 125 billion dollars in VC funding globally during 2021, which is almost three times more than the year prior. Early-stage funding is also on the rise, especially in Europe and emerging markets. In 2021, almost 1.8k early-stage fintech rounds were completed.

What we’re seeing now is an Open Finance Movement, where consumers are gaining ownership and control over their money, financial data, and investments. What does this mean for your bank, you may ask? The way we see it, banks that understand these changes and are fast to implement innovative solutions for their consumers will have a competitive edge over the ones that don’t. One example of the magnitude of this movement is the recent news that 

JP Morgan is now adding 12 billion dollars to their technology budget

, to add new products and services that will take them into the future.

More banks are now realizing the growing importance of boosting their innovation in the WealthTech sector – a unification of wealth, savings and investments, and technology. This, for example, includes social trading platforms, robo-advising, and digital wallets. In the post-pandemic world where 

the amount of retail investors have skyrocketed

, there’s a lot to gain. In Europe alone, ​​the number of retail investors has doubled since the beginning of last year. One of the many opportunities that WealthTech holds is social trading platforms – open and accessible communities for traders, where users can exchange information and inspiration.

In times of uncertainty and fluctuating markets, we’re seeing an even greater need for proactive communication from banks and brokers. How do you inform your customers about important events relating to their portfolio? If you’re asking me, the bank should know what's important for their customers – and make them aware of it instantly. This is something we've been working on a lot recently, and it turns out it’s a really good thing – for example when Netflix recently dropped 20 percent in just a few hours. Since I own stocks in Netflix, I instantly received a notification about it, and it made me want to share community insights about what people are saying and doing about Netflix right now.

Welcome to the team Daniel Ekberger

Earlier this summer we announced that we’ve raised new capital with the purpose of accelerating our growth journey and expanding the launch of our social trading platform for banks and partners globally. ﻿ We can now proudly announce that we’re one step closer to our mission to democratize savings and help the next generation of investors make more sustainable choices – thanks to our ongoing project with comdirect – eine Marke der Commerzbank AG. Integration of data is done and users within a closed testing group are now onboard in the internal pilot.

We believe the future of trading is accessible, social and transparent. Which country should we expand to next?

We are live in Germany!

The Swedish fintech company StockRepublic is raising new capital to accelerate its growth journey and expand the launch of the social trading platform for banks and partners globally. StockRepublic now receives 2 million EUR, and Commerzbank Group's early-stage investor enters as the lead investor. The investment round is led by the Swedish venture capital fund Uequity and Commerzbank Group's early-stage investor main incubator, together with well-known business angels with a background from, among others, E-Trade, Yubico and Minna Technologies. In total, 2 million EUR is invested.

The investment round is led by the Swedish venture capital fund Uequity and Commerzbank Group's early-stage investor main incubator, together with well-known business angels with a background from, among others, E-Trade, Yubico and Minna Technologies. In total, 2 million EUR is invested.

– Being able to follow other interesting investors, see how climate-friendly their portfolios are, and compare their own portfolio with others is exactly what the new generation of investors are asking for. In addition, they find the guidance needed in order to make well-grounded investment decisions. We are happy to support this paradigm shift through our investment, says Sebastian Scheib, investment manager at main incubator.

Björn Andersen, Head of Brokerage at Commerzbank's comdirect, adds:

– At comdirect, we strongly believe in StockRepublic’s vision of connecting retail trading with social features. It’s an expression of the current zeitgeist among young traders and demonstrates that social trading is going mainstream. Together with StockRepublic, we plan to make stock- and retail trading more accessible, social and transparent, says Björn.

To accelerate this transition and launch StockRepublic widely to the new generation of investors, StockRebublic is currently conducting a proof of concept together with comdirect, which has just under three million customers. This proof of concept will give customers access to all social trading functions and mobile applications, web and desktop.

With its B2B platform, StockRepublic targets banks and other financial players with the ambition of democratizing savings. With the help of real-time investment data, StockRepublic can offer unique access to data that, traditionally, savers are excluded from and get inspiration from star savers from several countries. The platform meets the needs of the new generation of investors, as well as the needs of banks that want to increase the commitment among their customers. StockRepublic can be easily implemented and linked to banks and brokers' existing financial products.

There’s a reason that more investors today seek ways to generate positive environmental impact alongside a financial return. StockRepublic wants to address this by highlighting how climate-friendly their users' investments are and by providing concrete proposals on how to improve their CO2 impact right away. – Our vision is to gather all information in one place and contribute to more sustainable savings. This investment will help us continue the launch of our platform within banks and partners in several European countries, says Hanna Bjurström, Chairman of the Board of StockRepublic.

www.stockrepublic.io opens the vault to customer knowledge, engagement and data. We provide a social network for investors that is easy to connect and fast to launch. By connecting anonymized portfolios in real-time, we open up for sharing knowledge, benchmarks and best practice for better investments. StockRepublic provides a mobile-first solution including APIs and client applications.

Sustainable investment is no longer a utopian dream for a distant future. It is very much a thing of today. The EU wants to implement a series of new terms called EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, or “green taxonomy”, in order to encourage companies to become more sustainable. All to help us reach the objectives of the European Green Deal and take a leap towards reaching a sustainable, circular economy.

StockRepublic implemented several tools on our social trading platform from the start, in order to help and encourage users to make sustainable investment choices. “How to invest in a climate friendly way?” is one of the most important questions of our time, and we try to help our users to explore green portfolios by giving them suggestions to reduce CO2 risk and encouraging them to follow climate friendly profiles.

The Internet, cookies and social media have made it easier for organizations to track the behavior of their customers. As Wilhelm Sporrong says: “It is no longer enough to ask the customers what they want” – because their behavior is what tells you what they really want, not their answers.

That is why open banking is such a great opportunity for banks: a way to collect and use consumer data in order to optimize banking services and analyze the users’ saving and spending habits. But how to use this data to further grow the customers’ – and thus the banks’ – capital? Our social trading platform collects valuable user data in order to improve their investment returns. By implementing this in your online bank, you will have access to a vast amount of user data to analyze customer behavior – all to help savers grow their investment portfolios in a socially engaging way!

Data – the currency of the future

“Investing in climate solutions can help investors mitigate the systemic risks of climate change, hedge against risks to their carbon intensive investments, and provide opportunities for diversification and strong returns as the world transitions to a low carbon, clean energy economy.” – Climate Solutions Investment Initiative

The stock market has always mirrored the needs of society and the wants of people. What many most urgently feel they need right now is to tackle the climate crisis, and want to invest accordingly – to use their resources for a better future, by investing in clean and sustainable energy. StockRepublic’s platform enables its users to work towards a sustainable future by helping them explore green portfolios and follow climate friendly profiles. We also offer suggestions to help users reduce CO2 risk.

Digitalization has brought with it a myriad of changes. Change in society as a whole and changes in human behaviors. More and more experiences – from shopping, banking to dating – are moving online. StockRepublic caught up with Wilhelm Sporrong, CEO and founder of Gamifiera, to get his take on cynical KPIs, social trading, and the importance of creating engaging customer experiences.

has had an inspirational and unique career journey. It started at

, where he was in sales before becoming CEO after a few short years. During his time at Webhallen, the company went from being a small business in a basement to hit turnover of SEK 2 billion.

– At Webhallen we were very early with our omnichannel concept. We showed current stock status both online and in-store, and quickly discovered that customers liked this type of experience. For me, it was important that we were pioneers – that we dared to try multiple ideas and not worry unnecessarily. How could you improve the online customer experience so that visitors came back time and again? That question, along with the satisfaction of finding a concept that works, drove me forward.

After several years of trial and error at Webhallen did Wilhelm and his highly competent colleagues develop a concept that seemed to work better than others. On this journey they highlighted the importance of a good digital customer experience which led them to start

– During my years in retail I saw what didn’t work. I saw how the desperate pursuit of customers for membership programs and loyalty program spamming often drove customers away rather than attracting new ones. I call it cynical KPIs: being so data-driven that you only cater to the tiny percentage of people who actually click on a link in an email and ignore everyone else who thinks membership programs are just a hassle. Even if you’re a member of all the pharmacy chains, most people still buy everything from Apotea.se, which doesn’t bother with a loyalty program.

Rational drivers versus emotional drivers

To avoid falling into the trap of focusing exclusively on cynical KPIs – and thereby risk alienating potential customers –

switched its focus from rational drivers to emotional ones.

– The digital tools that e-commerce uses often focus on customers’ rational drivers: when you ask a customer what they want, they often answer rationally. They want cheaper products, sales, and bigger refunds. By contrast, social media focuses on visitors’ emotional drivers: longing to be part of a context, affirmation, and the willingness to interact and communicate with others. E-commerce rarely succeeds in generating the engagement among visitors that social media does, says Wilhelm and continues:

– It's time to level up the digital customer experience. Today, it’s not enough to just ask a question to find out what the customer wants. You also have to look at their behaviors: what do they spend their time on and why? The answer is often that they engage in social media and that they want a ton of likes. It’s not rational, and what’s more, there’s no money in it. Spending time and money playing CandyCrush is an irrational behavior but a perfect example of an emotional drive. Through our platform, Gamifiera works to create this sort of engagement and uses these emotional drivers to benefit e-commerce.

Focusing on emotional drivers has been a great success:

– The effects following our first launch have been monumental: user-generated content has increased by +2000 percent, and we’ve had 1.5 million completely new customer interactions since the launch. What happens when customers start engaging with your products, on your site and with your other customers? Will anything positive come out of it? For me, this is the beginning of a community which creates customer engagement. This will in turn lead to exclusively positive effects for all visitors – whether they are engaged or not.

Wilhelm often returns to how the digital landscape has changed in the wake of technological advances. Now, it’s no longer important to appear serious or buttoned-up. Today, it’s more important to be fun; to package a perfect product in an interesting way, rather than hiding an imperfect product behind a serious facade.

; a company that has really advanced from working with user and customer experiences.

has really succeeded in this as well. In the past, people were afraid to play too much with serious concepts such as trading and finance. Now we see that a playful but functional concept is what drives increased customer engagement. Social trading is a perfect example of how something that has traditionally been perceived as serious increases in popularity when you also focus on users’ emotional drivers. Trading is ideal in this respect, because there’s already so much engagement around it and there’s huge potential for even more social engagement. I’m convinced that social trading is a successful concept that is set to grow. Just as physical retail has had to adjust to be able to function online, the online experience needs to adapt to remain relevant. It is no longer enough to offer the right products at the right price; the online user experience needs to satisfy emotional drivers to be successful.
