The story
lemon.markets started in 2020 as a Berlin-based developer-focused brokerage API. It has since matured into a regulated Brokerage-as-a-Service provider, operating its own BaFin-licensed investment firm (lemon.markets brokerage GmbH) and offering banks, neobanks, EMIs, wealth managers and fintechs a one-stop-shop to embed stock and ETF investing — covering securities accounts, cash accounts, order management and regulatory operations under their own license.
