eToro, the Nasdaq-listed trading and investing platform, has agreed to acquire LB Finanzas, an Argentine all-in-one financial app, marking the company’s fourth acquisition in 2026 and a strategic expansion into Latin America’s fastest-growing fintech markets.
- Acquisition Number: Fourth acquisition by eToro in 2026
- LB Finanzas Founded: 2018 in Rosario, Argentina
- LB Finanzas Offerings: US stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrency, money market funds, and Argentine peso and US dollar accounts
- Other 2026 Acquisitions: Zengo (April), Bit2C (May), TradeZero (August)
- LB Finanzas Regulators: Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) and Central Bank (BCRA)
LB Finanzas has built a comprehensive platform serving hundreds of thousands of users seeking accessible investment tools. The acquisition will position Argentina as eToro’s regional hub while maintaining LB Finanzas’ existing product suite and management structure. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions.
LB Finanzas and etoro share the same belief: that everyone should have access to the tools and knowledge they need to grow their wealth. By combining LB Finanzas’ local expertise with etoro’s global scale and product offering, we can bring that mission to millions of people across one of the most dynamic regions in the world.
– Yoni Assia, Co-founder and CEO, eToro
We started LB Finanzas in Rosario with a simple idea: that any Argentine should be able to invest with the same tools people use internationally. Joining etoro lets us take that much further. For our clients, nothing changes today. What comes next is more products and more scale with the same team they already know.
