Alpaca provides brokerage infrastructure APIs that enable developers, financial institutions, and businesses to embed trading and investing functionality into their applications. The company operates as a US-headquartered self-clearing broker-dealer with regulatory approvals across multiple jurisdictions, supporting hundreds of financial institutions across 40+ countries.
The platform powers over 7 million brokerage accounts and serves 61,000+ monthly active developers.
