How INVESTÄ works

We acquire investors and institutional clients, then route activity to licensed brokers and payment partners in each location. Brokers facilitate execution and local settlement; INVESTÄ provides the app, API and routing layer.

1. Discover & try the demo

Public website educates on African markets. Guests explore demo shares and IPOs with no registration — buy, sell, and withdraw in the illustrative journey.

2. Route through INVESTÄ

The consumer app and B2B API share one order, portfolio and cash layer — eligibility and FX checked before anything reaches a desk.

3. Licensed broker in-market

A regulated broker covering that exchange executes the trade, handles custody/settlement stubs, and works with local payout rails for withdrawals.

4. Confirm & settle

Fills and cash movements update the demo portfolio. Transaction fees on retail activity and partner contract charges on API usage are recorded in-product.

Who facilitates trades & payments

One illustrative desk per market today. Live services require active licenses and signed coverage agreements.

Mobile-ready architecture

Business logic lives behind a public API so future mobile clients can share auth, orders and portfolio services with the same broker routing.
