Introduction to the Hisa App. The Journey begins.
Hisa is a Swahili word for share/ownership. For every unit of investment you make, you get to own a some Hisa of a company listed on the markets we have access to.
Our story begins as far as in the 13th century when the Cowrie Shell (which is our logo) were first used for trading, giving sense of ownership to investors, as an alternative to barter trade.
The Hisa App is the first crowdsourced investing platform in Africa. With Hisa, an investor from Kenya (which is our first market) will be able to access investment opportunities from local markets (The Nairobi Securities Exchange) and global markets such as the NYSE, NASDAQ,LSE and other top financial markets globally.
