Vacuumlabs, a global fintech development partner, is expanding its offering through a partnership with Alpaca, a global leader in agent-first brokerage infrastructure. Wealth managers and fintechs can now launch trading and investment products faster, with more simplicity and an assurance of quality. Additionally, Vacuumlabs is officially Alpaca’s first integration partner in the EU, filling a much needed gap in the market.
“Many wealth product launches stall when nobody owns the full path from infrastructure to something customers will enjoy using,” said Tomas Masek, CEO of Vacuumlabs. “Firms end up stitching together vendors and the integration work between them is where we see months disappear. Becoming Alpaca’s first official integration partner in the EU means we can close that gap. One team, one accountable path, from Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure to a production-ready product.”
Vacuumlabs helps firms launch their wealth platform quickly, creating a simpler, faster path from idea to live product. Alpaca provides the regulated trading infrastructure and API connectivity.
Alpaca’s Broker API offers embeddable financial services across stocks, ETFs, options, and fixed income, along with infrastructure for tokenization, fully paid securities lending, high-yield cash, 24/5 trading, and Shariah-compliant investing. This delivers the infrastructure depth and global reach that modern wealth and investment products require.
Vacuumlabs completes this offering with a proven track record of fintech and wealth domain expertise, proven integration frameworks, and an end-to-end team across product, design, engineering, and AI. Together, the two companies help clients move from strategy to a production-ready platform with less time spent on vendor evaluation and integration work.
“Europe is a priority market for Alpaca, and we’re scaling our regional presence to match that ambition,” said Karan Shanmugarajah, CEO of Alpaca Europe. “By collaborating with Vacuumlabs, we’re empowering partners to launch the next generation of wealth and investment products across Europe more quickly.”
The joint solution is designed for wealth managers and fintechs across the UK, Ireland, and Central and Eastern Europe, including established firms launching digital channels and new entrants building investment products from the ground up.
