DriveWealth has announced a partnership with Ualá to introduce Acciones (Stocks), a digital investment service that allows Mexican consumers to invest in U.S. equities. The initiative expands access to international financial markets by enabling users to buy fractional shares of companies listed in the United States.

Through the new service, Ualá customers in Mexico can invest in well-known companies such as Apple, Amazon, and Tesla, starting with as little as $20 MXN per transaction. The offering uses DriveWealth’s fractional investing infrastructure, which allows investors to purchase portions of shares instead of full units.

The introduction of Acciones comes at a time when participation in financial markets in Mexico remains relatively low. Data from the National Banking and Securities Commission indicates that only 4.4% of the population invests in any financial instrument, highlighting a gap in financial market access.

Ualá Forms Partnership With DriveWealth to Offer Fractional US Stocks

Naureen Hassan, Chief Executive Officer of DriveWealth, stated that the company was built to broaden participation in financial markets through regulated brokerage technology. According to Hassan, the partnership with Ualá helps extend U.S. equity access to more individuals in Mexico through a fractional investing model supported by regulated brokerage infrastructure.

Under the collaboration, DriveWealth supplies the execution, clearing, and custody services through its U.S.-regulated API-based brokerage system. Meanwhile, Ualá manages the user-facing digital platform, where customers can access investment tools and portfolio recommendations.

The Acciones service includes several features aimed at both first-time and experienced investors. Within the investment section, users answer a set of questions that determine their risk profile, which then generates portfolio recommendations. Customers can select from three diversified investment packages that include U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The platform also allows investors to place orders at any time, with transactions executed once U.S. markets open. Ualá has also indicated that there are no account opening or transaction fees, which lowers entry barriers for new investors.

Pablo Savoldelli, Regional Director of Wealth Management at Ualá, said the launch opens global investment opportunities to millions of Mexicans who previously viewed international markets as difficult to access. By allowing investments starting from 20 pesos, the service aims to make participation in global equities more attainable.
