This quarter, we are excited to introduce you to Eko Investments, a New York-based company that enables banks and credit unions to offer a digital investing solution, directly on your existing banking platforms via Eko’s white-label solution. With Eko, you can stop the flow of assets to platforms like Robinhood, Betterment, and Acorns by providing a modern, engaging alternative.
I met their CEO, Mart Vos, at Finovate Fall 2024 where he presented a demonstration of a solution that was so popular it won Best of Show. He was subsequently featured on Finovate’s Podcast where he described their end-to-end ‘Investments-as-a-Service’ solution as a way for financial institutions to offer digital investing as simple as they offer digital banking.
“Eko is responsive, flexible and continuously seeks to improve the application by adding new features and functionality. Due to Eko’s native integration, our customers have more reasons than ever to engage with our online platform.” - Union Bank
Eko aims to democratize investment by allowing clients of banks and credit unions to engage in investment activities directly through their trusted institutions, starting from as little as $10.
The platform offers a variety of investment options, including pre-made portfolios, self-directed investing, and a hybrid model, all while ensuring an intuitive user experience that leverages existing customer data. Eko does not require a core integration and is already integrated into most digital banking providers (e.g., Alkami, Q2, Jack Henry, etc.), making Eko turn-key.
