Webull announced a strategic partnership with Meritz Financial Group on November 12, 2025, to bring its U.S. equity‑trading platform to Korean investors. The deal gives Meritz customers direct access to U.S. capital markets through Webull’s technology, while Webull taps Meritz’s established client base and regulatory presence in South Korea.
Under the agreement, Meritz’s brokerage clients will be able to trade U.S. equities on Webull’s platform, and Webull will integrate its global community and AI‑powered trading tools into the Korean market. The collaboration is designed to accelerate Webull’s user growth and assets under management in a high‑growth region, leveraging Meritz’s local expertise and Webull’s advanced technology stack.
The partnership fits into Webull’s broader strategy of expanding into 14 jurisdictions worldwide. By entering South Korea, Webull aims to diversify its revenue streams and strengthen its competitive position against regional brokers. The integration of AI tools and community features is expected to enhance user engagement and retention, supporting long‑term growth.
Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull, said, “We are thrilled to welcome South Korean investors into the Webull family and provide them with the same powerful tools, technology, and community that empower our clients around the world.” Wonjae Jang, CEO of Meritz Securities, added, “Through this partnership, Meritz is proud to connect Korean investors with Webull’s global community and advanced investing experience.” Jangwook Lee, Executive Director of Inno Biz Center at Meritz Securities, noted plans to expand joint initiatives into global markets beyond this initial partnership.
Webull’s Q3 2025 earnings are scheduled for release on November 20, 2025. While the partnership announcement does not yet include financial results, it signals Webull’s continued focus on international expansion and its confidence in the growth potential of the South Korean market.
