New · Print QR
Choose the QR code delivery option when sending and Beestow generates a branded, printable QR code — ready to tuck inside a birthday card, attach to an invitation, or frame as a party display.
Anyone who scans it can claim the gift on their phone in under two minutes. No brokerage account needed — they just create a free account to claim.
Fast
Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, SPY — browse our curated catalog and pick the one that fits who they are.
From $20 to whatever feels right. Add a personal birthday message — they'll see it when they open the gift.
Email, text, or print a QR code to include in a physical card or invite. All three work equally well.
The recipient creates a free account in seconds, verifies their ID once, links a brokerage or bank account, and receives cash via ACH. Free to a brokerage — a flat fee for bank cash-out, shown upfront.

Beestow gifts never expire — the recipient redeems whenever they choose, and the value is based on the market price at that moment.
Real people, real gifts
From the people sending Beestow gifts — and the ones receiving them.
For the recipient
Worried it'll be confusing for them? It isn't. No account required to receive — just a few taps.
They get an email, text, or QR code with your name and a message from you — it feels like a gift, not a link.
Free account via Google, Apple, or email. No brokerage account, no paperwork, no app to download.
The value tracks live with the stock price. They choose when to redeem — to any brokerage or bank, on their own timeline.
What their dashboard looks like
Built for trust
Beestow runs on regulated financial infrastructure — the same rails behind the apps you already use every day.
Payments
Card and bank payments run through a PCI-compliant payment processor used by household-name merchants. Your card number never touches Beestow's servers.
Payouts
When a gift is redeemed, its cash value moves by ACH through established US banking partners, straight to the brokerage or bank account you choose.
Account linking
When you link a brokerage or bank, it's through the same encrypted linking service the major consumer finance apps use — your login credentials are never shared with Beestow.
Beestow at a glance
Beestow is a registered California LLC. Recipients always receive cash at redemption, never securities.
Stock isn't something they'll already own. It's a gift that connects them to companies they use every day — and keeps doing something after the party ends.
Gift $100 of Apple at the birthday party. If Apple is up 20% when they redeem, they get $120. The value isn't frozen — it moves with the market.
Kids, teens, adults — anyone can receive a Beestow gift. No age restrictions, no custodial accounts required. A parent can claim on a child's behalf if needed.
Fidelity, Schwab, E*TRADE, Vanguard, Merrill Edge, IBKR, Wealthfront — or any bank account. No new account required to receive.
Value is based on the live price at the moment they choose to redeem — not when you send it. They control the timing, so they can wait for a recovery.

A gift card is stuck at one store and often goes unspent. A Beestow birthday gift is linked to a real company's market performance and can be redeemed for cash to a brokerage or bank — it keeps meaning something long after the party.
No. They create a free Beestow account in seconds to claim, then redeem the cash value to any major brokerage or a regular bank account. No brokerage account is needed to send or claim.
Yes. There's no age requirement and no custodial account needed. A parent or guardian can claim and manage the gift on a child's behalf.
Yes. Choose the QR code delivery option and Beestow generates a branded, printable QR you can tuck into a card or invitation. Whoever scans it claims the gift on their phone.
Gifts start at $20, with a small flat service fee shown upfront before you pay. No ongoing account fees that erode the gift over time.
The value is based on the live price at the moment they choose to redeem — not when you send it. Gifts never expire, so they can hold and wait for a recovery.
