Lemon.markets launches Brokerage-as-a-Service platform

In cooperation with Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and Tradegate, the Berlin-based FinTech company launches its operational business. The BaaS platform enables financial service providers and FinTechs to trade securities efficiently.

Berlin, 14.03.2024 - The Berlin-based FinTech company lemon.markets has commenced operations. The BaFin license in January paved the way for cooperation with industry giants such as Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and Tradegate. Together, they aim to become the infrastructure providers for 100 million European investors.

The lemon.markets brokerage-as-a-service platform enables financial service providers and FinTechs to offer securities trading. In a pioneering partnership, the financial education app beatvest was the first company to go live using the white-label solution for its investment offering.

By working with established institutions such as BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and Tradegate Exchange, we offer our business partners and their end customers maximum reliability and professionalism.
