WBS, a UK-based provider of dealing, custody and technology solutions for the investment sector, has agreed a five-year extension to its partnership with Quai Digital, with fractional dealing at the heart of the renewed deal.
The headline feature of the agreement is the rollout of fractional dealing, which WBS describes as a major milestone for Quai Digital and the clients it supports. The capability will let Quai open up a broader universe of investments at smaller minimum amounts, feeding into its ambition to build savings and investment products that are more flexible and easier to access for the firms and end customers it works with.
The full set of functionalities will be made available to Quai Investment Services (QISL), which sits within the Quai Digital group, alongside its partner firms.
The two companies first began collaborating in 2017, meaning the relationship now stretches back nine years. The latest extension locks in that history and lays the groundwork for further shared innovation and expansion across both businesses.
WBS operates as a business-to-business platform provider, with an award-winning service that has helped it build assets under administration of more than £26bn alongside a growing roster of clients. The firm focuses on reducing the regulatory and administrative load on its customers through secure, integrated and tailored end-to-end solutions, with execution quality and service standards set out transparently in its service level agreements.
Quai Digital, founded in 2011, is a specialist white-label digital savings platform serving the wealth management and FinTech sectors with regulated investment products, financial administration and technology solutions. It oversees £4bn in assets under administration across more than 520,000 accounts, spanning GIAs, ISAs and 120,000 SIPPs.
WBS director, head of client Sam Blackburn said, “The five-year extension of our partnership and the introduction of Quai’s fractional dealing offering reflects our shared growth ambitions and a mutual commitment to delivering innovation and market leading solutions.”
Quai Digital CEO Tony Webb said, “Our partnership with WBS gives us the infrastructure we need to grow with confidence. They are our chosen partner for their expertise in delivering easily integrated and scalable solutions and their hands-on approach. Introducing fractional dealing for our clients is a real market differentiator, enabling us to serve a broader client base and offer more flexible investment journeys.”
