Chaka Launches Pan-African Retail Investing

Chaka launches Hisa to build pan-African retail investment platform

Nigerian brokerage Chaka, the country's first SEC-licensed retail broker, has launched Hisa as part of a broader push to build pan-African retail investment infrastructure. The product extends Chaka's regulated brokerage capabilities toward a continent-wide investor base.

Hisa: access was never the hard part

Chaka spent years solving the obvious problem — getting ordinary Nigerians onto the stock market. The harder problem is keeping them there.

Hisa's real bet is in that Atlas research feature: an in-app tool that tries to stop investors from making decisions blind. Most retail platforms on the continent drop you into a market and leave you alone. If Hisa can genuinely close the information gap inside the app, that's the stickier moat — and the one that actually scales across borders.
