Stake's story & mission

Stake’s mission is to provide a seamless and immersive experience that breaks barriers for ambitious investors.

Stake was founded in 2017 on the idea that investment opportunities should not be determined by where you live. Coming from financial backgrounds, our founders saw a growing desire for those outside the U.S. to have easier access to the vast U.S. market. Up until that point, opening a U.S. investing account was a nightmare littered with confusing paperwork, excessive fees, and poor execution.

After successfully breaking barriers for Australians, Stake expanded to New Zealand and the UK. With 500,000+ global customers and 9,500+ Wall St securities available, 2,500+ ASX stocks for Australian customers, Stake continues to grow and empower people with an intuitive platform tailor-made for modern investors.
