Groww — IPOs (Apply & Calendar)

groww.in

Groww provides a retail‑friendly IPO workflow for India: browse upcoming/open/closed IPOs (Mainboard & SME), apply using a UPI mandate, and track allotment/listing. Bond IPOs are now supported on the app. IPO applications on Groww use UPI (₹5 lakh daily cap for capital‑market UPI), while ASBA remains available via banks separately. Allotment status can be checked in‑app if you applied on Groww; otherwise, Groww links to NSE/BSE and registrar pages. Trading APIs (separate, optional subscription) exist for order placement and live data but do not document IPO application endpoints.

Wise (Interest & Stocks)

Investing features vary by country. In the UK/EEA, Interest allocates to government money-market funds; in the US, Interest is a bank program with pass-through FDIC insurance (not an investment). “Stocks” is a single BlackRock iShares World Equity Index mutual fund where available. Settlement speed (instant vs non-instant) and whether you invest from Balances or Jars differ by market. Fees are published per currency; Stocks adds a Wise service fee on top of the fund’s OCF.
