Is Webull Available in Europe in 2026? Comprehensive Guide for European Users

Webull has become a popular trading platform, known for its commission-free trades and user-friendly app. As a European investor, you might be wondering whether you can use Webull in your country.

This article explains where Webull is available in Europe in 2026, including Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries, and which alternatives you can use.

Is Webull available in Europe?

Webull is officially available in the European Union, but only in the Netherlands, through the webull.eu website.

Webull’s EU subsidiary, Webull Securities (Europe) B.V., received its licence from the Dutch financial regulator, the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM), in September 2024, and launched its platform in the Netherlands on 8 September 2025. Here’s the official press release: “Webull Launches in the European Union, Debuting Retail Investment Platform in the Netherlands“.

Residents of the Netherlands can open an account and trade:

• US stocks
• European stocks
• European ETFs
• US options
• Fractional shares

Webull EU has also received authorisation under the EU’s crypto-assets regulation (MiCA) and has said it plans to launch crypto trading in the Netherlands.

In all other European countries, Webull is still not available. This includes Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Romania, Spain, Italy and France. Webull has said that additional EU countries will follow, but it has not announced a timeline or target countries.

Outside the EU, Webull also operates in the United Kingdom through a separate company regulated by the FCA, which was its first step into Europe.
