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.
