New York, USA, January 6, 2026, FinanceWire
WNSTN, a global provider of AI-powered financial intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Meritz Securities, one of South Korea's leading retail trading and investment platforms. Meritz will integrate WNSTN's AI technology into its next-generation digital investment platform to enhance client engagement, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Meritz Securities, one of South Korea's top financial institutions in US stock trading, is building a new AI-driven platform designed to improve the investor experience while meeting evolving standards for financial consumer protection. By adopting WNSTN's solution, Meritz will have access to a fully compliant financial AI system that can support real-time customer inquiries, investment knowledge, and regulated interactions across multiple channels.
“We are honored to partner with Meritz Securities, a market leader known for its commitment to innovation and customer experience,” said Jamie Lacover, co-founder of WNSTN. “This collaboration reflects a shared vision for the future of digital finance, combining advanced AI capabilities with the rigorous compliance standards required by regulated markets.”
WNSTN CEO Roy Michaeli added, “Our mission is to help financial institutions deploy AI-powered tools that provide a highly personalized and intelligent investment experience, increase market transparency and trust, and provide traders with a competitive edge to make better-informed decisions.”
Through this partnership, Meritz becomes the first major Korean financial institution to implement WNSTN's infrastructure-grade AI capabilities. The two companies are working closely to align the system with Korean regulatory requirements and Meritz's long-term product vision.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to provide highly personalized and exceptional digital experiences to our customers,” said Jang-wook Lee, executive director of Meritz Securities' InnoBiz Center, who is leading the launch of the platform. “WNSTN brings advanced financial AI, strong compliance controls, and a deep understanding of the needs of regulated entities. We are excited to work together to accelerate our innovation roadmap.”
The integrated platform is expected to launch in early 2026 as part of Meritz's new AI-powered investment offering.
