Webull Corp (NASDAQ:BULL) shares are rising Tuesday after the company announced a collaboration with Visa Inc (NYSE:V) on the Webull US platform.

What To Know: Online investment platform Webull announced a collaboration with Visa to integrate Visa Direct on its platform, allowing its U.S. users to quickly transfer money between brokerage accounts and external bank accounts.

Visa Direct also allows for the transfer of funds directly to eligible cards and wallets. The new feature will allow Webull to offer fast access to the market through its new deposit feature, versus other common methods of transferring money, which can take several days to clear.

“Webull has always been committed to improving access to financial tools and services,” said Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull.

“We are proud to work with Visa and its expansive network to enhance opportunities within financial markets. There are several exciting uses for this new capability, which will allow us to integrate technology into traditional financial services in ways that better serve Webull’s customers.”

Webull went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with SK Growth Opportunities in April. The stock has seen significant interest from retail traders since its public debut.

How To Buy BULL Stock

By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Webull – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy “fractional shares,” which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

BULL Price Action: Webull shares jumped to around $15.75 when the news was first released, before pulling back. The stock, which has been volatile in recent weeks, was up 1.55% at $14.78 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro.
