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.

Works for every family occasion

🎂

Birthdays

A stock gift lands differently than cash or a gift card — especially when it's a company they recognize.

🎄

Holidays

The gift that keeps doing something after the holidays are over. Perfect for everyone on the family list.

🎓

Graduation

Starting a career or heading to college? A stock gift is the most useful thing a grandparent can give.

🏆

Milestones

First job, first apartment, turning 18 or 21 — any moment that marks a new chapter in their life.

📉

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

Can I gift stock to my grandchild without a custodial account?

Yes — that's the point of Beestow. There's no custodial account, no paperwork, and no account minimum. The recipient (or their parent) creates a free account to claim and redeems the cash value when ready.

Do I need a brokerage account to send a gift to family?

No. Neither you nor the recipient needs a brokerage account to send or claim. Cash can be redeemed to any major brokerage or a regular bank account later.

Can a young grandchild receive a stock gift?

Yes. There's no age restriction. A parent or guardian claims and manages the gift on the child's behalf.

Are there ongoing fees that shrink the gift?

No. Beestow has no monthly account fees — there's just a small one-time service fee shown upfront when you send.

How does the grandchild get the money?

When they're ready, they redeem and Beestow transfers the cash value to a brokerage or bank account in their name — typically within 1–3 business days.

What if the stock drops?

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 wait for a recovery.
