Chaka Technologies Ltd has launched Hisa, a new investment application that replaces the company’s existing Chaka trading platform and introduces a range of new features aimed at making investing more accessible for retail users.
The launch comes as digital investment platforms continue to compete for a larger share of Nigeria’s growing retail investor market.
Hisa provides investors with access to Nigerian stocks and ETFs through a single platform. Existing Chaka users will automatically migrate to the new app with their portfolios, account details, and transaction histories intact.
The newly launched platform includes several upgrades, including automated investing, after-hours trading capabilities, integrated market research tools, and a redesigned user interface.
One of the platform’s most notable changes is its pricing model. Hisa charges a flat 1 percent commission per trade, which the company says is intended to improve transparency and eliminate hidden charges that investors often encounter across investment platforms.
The company said the new brand reflects its broader ambitions beyond Nigeria. Hisa, a Swahili word meaning “shares,” was selected to represent a more pan-African identity as the business expands operations across multiple markets.
In Nigeria, investment services remain powered by Chaka Technologies Ltd.
The company believes that simplifying the investing experience could help attract more first-time investors who have traditionally viewed stock market participation as complex or inaccessible.
The launch positions Hisa among a growing number of technology-enabled investment platforms seeking to increase retail participation in African capital markets while providing access to both local and international investment opportunities.
Hisa is now available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Existing Chaka users can simply update their app to access the new Hisa experience, while new users can sign up directly to begin investing.
