DriveWealth has announced a strategic partnership with IOL Privé, a new Uruguay-based premium wealth management offering designed for high-net-worth investors seeking greater access to global investment opportunities, sophisticated advisory services, and a more seamless digital experience.
Powered by DriveWealth’s embedded brokerage infrastructure, IOL Privé combines wealth advisory services with access to international investments and fully disclosed U.S. investment accounts. The collaboration reflects growing demand for digital wealth management solutions that can provide affluent investors with global market access while maintaining a high level of personalized service.
The partnership also expands DriveWealth’s presence across Latin America as the company continues to support financial platforms looking to embed investment and wealth management capabilities into their existing customer experiences.
Modernizing Private Banking
IOL Privé is designed to address some of the challenges traditionally associated with private banking and international investing. High-net-worth investors have often faced complex onboarding procedures, multiple service providers, and disconnected technology when seeking access to global markets.

The new platform brings these elements together through a single digital experience. Investors can access advisory, investment, and wealth planning services while benefiting from international investment opportunities through the infrastructure provided by DriveWealth.
“Private banking has historically been reserved for a very select group of investors willing to navigate complex onboarding processes and disconnected technology channels,” said Naureen Hassan, CEO of DriveWealth. “Through our partnership with IOL Privé, we’re helping modernize private banking by providing the infrastructure to deliver seamless investment experiences in a digital platform clients already know and trust. Our missions are closely aligned in expanding access to investors on a global scale, while creating a more white-glove experience for high-net-worth individuals.”
Expanding Access to Global Investments
IOL Group, which has more than 2 million customers and over 25 years of experience, is expanding its services through IOL Privé to address the needs of affluent investors seeking international diversification and more sophisticated wealth management.
The launch comes as demand for international investment opportunities continues to increase among wealthy investors in Latin America. Digital platforms can help wealth providers respond to this demand by combining investment access with advisory services and streamlined account management.
“Launching this project marks a major milestone for IOL Group. We started in Argentina more than 25 years ago, and now we are expanding our presence across the region with a real solution for our investors,” said Diego Pizzulli, CEO of IOL invertironline. “The new platform will offer, through a dedicated app, advisory, investment and wealth planning services, delivering a seamless and professional experience.”
Growth of Embedded Wealth Management
The collaboration between DriveWealth and IOL Priv showcases a trend towards embedded wealth management, which essentially means that the power to invest is integrated by default within digital platforms without forcing customers to move from one financial service to another one that is physically separated.
Through this method, financial institutions and wealth platforms can find ways to not only make their customers more loyal but also help them become more global investors. On the other side, investors will probably find it easier to make investments that are international and get access to the professional wealth advisory.
Latin American investors have been looking to diversify their investments outside of their domestic markets lately. That means, it is quite possible that the kind of partnerships, where brokerage platforms work with regional expertise and digital wealth services is the right combination, these will gain more traction in Latin America’s financial services area.
