eToro, the NASDAQ-listed trading and investing platform, and Papaya Global, a global workforce payments leader, unveiled a partnership on August 4, 2026, to integrate investment capabilities directly into workers’ paychecks. The offering, called eToro work powered by Banco, enables employees to access regulated investing tools at the moment they receive payment, removing traditional friction points that prevent wealth-building entry.
- Platform users: 40 million registered users across 75 countries
- Compensation coverage: Salary, bonuses, stock options, RSUs, and benefits in one interface
- Core function: Frictionless pathway from earnings to multi-asset investing with educational resources
- eToro founding: 2007, with mission to democratize market access globally
The partnership addresses a structural gap in financial services: for billions of workers globally, salary deposits represent the end rather than the beginning of wealth accumulation. eToro work powered by Banco integrates Papaya Global’s real-time payments network with eToro’s multi-asset trading platform and educational community to meet users at their point of income receipt, converting pay events into investing opportunities paired with knowledge-building tools.
Salary should be the beginning not the end of workers’ financial experience. The moment your pay lands, it can start working for you.
Eynat Guez, CEO and co-founder of Papaya Global, emphasized the platform’s vision to evolve workforce payments beyond simple disbursement toward active wealth management. The service aims to provide workers with consolidated visibility across all compensation forms while enabling optional, frictionless investment decisions tied to income events. Yoni Assia, CEO and co-founder of eToro, highlighted the partnership’s ability to meet a critical gap: providing individuals with natural entry points into investing and financial education at scale.
eToro operates as a regulated multi-asset investment platform with subsidiaries authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority, Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and Monetary Authority of Singapore, among other regulators.
