Why it works for graduates

🎓

It fits every grad

Whether they're entering the workforce, starting college, or heading to grad school — a gift linked to the companies they already use every day is one they'll understand.

📈

The value tracks the real stock price

Gift $100 of Nvidia today. If Nvidia is up 30% by the time they redeem, they get $130. There's a real, live connection to the company you chose.

💸

No account fees that drain small gifts

Unlike custodial platforms that charge monthly fees, Beestow has no ongoing costs. Your $50 gift stays $50 (plus market performance) until they redeem.

🏦

Redeems to any major brokerage or bank

Fidelity, Schwab, E*TRADE, Vanguard, Merrill Edge, IBKR, Wealthfront — or any bank account in their name. They choose where the cash lands.

What people are saying

From the people sending Beestow gifts — and the ones receiving them.

“Sent my nephew $200 of Nvidia for his graduation instead of a check. He's been checking the chart almost every day — hoping it gets him curious about the markets in a way cash never would.”

“I'm not much of a gift giver — I don't enjoy buying material things. Beestow is the form of gift giving I enjoy most, because it's giving someone a head start on their future.”

“I first discovered Beestow through a gift I received at my baby shower for my son, and I immediately loved the idea. Giving stock is such a unique, thoughtful gift — one that can grow with him over time, instead of getting outgrown.”

How your money moves.

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.

Good to know

🏆

Stock has been the #1 most-requested gift for 17 years

Less than 1% of gifts are stock — because until now, sending it was a hassle. Beestow fixes that.

🔒

No brokerage account required to send

You don't need a brokerage account. Neither does the recipient — until they choose to open one.

♾️

Never expires — claim and redeem anytime

Give your grad all the time they need. There's no deadline. Value is locked at the moment they choose to redeem — not when they receive the gift.

📉

What if the stock drops?

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does the graduate need a brokerage account to receive a stock gift?

No. They create a free Beestow account in seconds to claim, then redeem the cash value to any major brokerage — Fidelity, Schwab, E*TRADE, Vanguard, Merrill Edge, and more — or a regular bank account. No brokerage account is required on either side to send or claim.

What happens if the stock drops after I send it?

The value is based on the live price at the moment the graduate chooses to redeem — not when you send it. They control the timing, so they can hold and wait for a recovery. Gifts never expire.

Does the graduate actually own the stock?

No. A Beestow gift is a prepaid gift whose value is linked to the stock's market performance. When the graduate redeems, Beestow transfers the cash value to their brokerage or bank account — they receive cash, not securities.

How much does a graduation stock gift cost?

Gifts start at $20. A small flat service fee is shown upfront before you pay — no hidden costs, and no ongoing account fees that drain the gift over time.

How fast does the gift arrive?

Within seconds. Send by email or text and the graduate gets a claim link right away. Prefer to hand it over at the ceremony or party? Generate a printable QR code instead.

Is there a deadline to claim or redeem?

No — gifts never expire. The graduate can claim whenever they're ready and redeem whenever they choose; the value locks in at the moment they redeem.
