System downtime: What to know about our upcoming brokerage transfer from Alpaca Securities to Apex Clearing Corporation
Last updated: 3/25/26
We're constantly committed to providing our customers with the best, most fun, and up to date investing experience possible.
As we've grown to over 1.5 million+ downloads nationwide, so has our need to improve our brokerage provider services, and the time has come for a big upgrade. 💪
As such, this page will serve as a courtesy notice to notify you that, from May 1 to May 7, Grifin will be undergoing a short, temporary system downtime to improve your experience while we transition to our new, upgraded brokerage provider - Apex Clearing Corporation.
There are many exciting benefits of this upgrade, such as being able to see "Grifin" on your bank statement for every weekly transfer / deposit (instead of "Alpaca"), additional investing opportunities beyond just stocks, and access to even more new companies!
NOTE: During this short downtime, all standard brokerage services will be temporarily unavailable, such as buying stock, selling stock, depositing cash, and withdrawing cash.
Rest assured, all of your stocks, funds, and account information are 100% safe and secure. 🛟 There is nothing you are required to do; we will take care of everything for you, so just sit back and enjoy the upgrade!
If, for some reason, you would like to opt out of this free brokerage upgrade and keep your account with our current brokerage provider (Alpaca Securities LLC), please click this link: TBD. Please note: Opting out mean that your account will be shut down, Grifin will have no control over this, and you will lose our services.
