Accessing the U.S. stock market from Latin America used to be complicated. But thanks to the integration between Hapi and Airtm, investing in U.S. stocks and ETFs is now much more accessible.
If you already manage your money with Airtm and are looking for a way to grow it through investments, Hapi allows you to use your USD balance to fund your investment account quickly and easily—no complex processes or intermediaries.
What is Hapi?
Hapi is an investment app that lets people across Latin America invest in the U.S. stock market. Through the app, you can buy shares of companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla, and more, starting from just $10 USD.
You don’t need a U.S. bank account, U.S. residency, or to pay high fees. All you need is your Airtm U.S. Virtual Account, which allows you to fund your Hapi account directly, securely, and without third parties. It’s a practical way to build your investment portfolio from anywhere in the region.
How does it work with Airtm?
With this integration, you can use your Airtm balance to fund your Hapi investment account—all without international banks or extra steps.
That means you can move your dollars directly from Airtm to Hapi in minutes. It’s a seamless process that’s especially helpful for freelancers, remote workers, and digital professionals who get paid through Airtm.
Step-by-step: How to fund Hapi using Airtm
This video walks you through the full process, but here’s a quick summary:
- Log in to your Hapi account via the app.
- Go to the “Add Funds” section.
- Choose Airtm as your payment method.
- A secure window will open for you to sign in to your Airtm account.
- Enter the amount you want to transfer and confirm.
- The funds will appear in your Hapi account within minutes.
You’re now ready to start investing directly from the app.
Real experience: How it works in action

Useful info for Airtm users
If you already have a U.S. Virtual Account in Airtm, this is a great way to put your USD balance to work. Instead of withdrawing or converting your funds, you can send them directly to Hapi and start investing.
This is especially useful if you’re a freelancer, content creator, or digital worker who receives payments in dollars and wants to grow that money without leaving the digital tools you already use.
Using Airtm also gives you full control of your money and helps you avoid the high fees or restrictions of traditional banks.
Why this integration still matters
Even though this functionality has been live for some time, it continues to solve a real need: giving people in Latin America access to global investment opportunities without relying on traditional financial systems.
It’s a reliable option for those looking to manage and grow their money, globally and independently.
