Over the past year, the team behind Chaka has been working quietly to rebuild the entire trading experience. They have redesigned processes and focused on creating a smoother, more reliable way for users to invest. According to the company, these improvements will start rolling out in the coming weeks
Why Hisa?
According to Chaka, Hisa means “shares.” in Swahili reflecting the platform’s mission to promote shared growth, collective ownership, and equal access to investment opportunities. It also represents their vision to unite all products in Nigeria, Kenya, and other markets under one brand.
When Chaka first launched, its goal was simple: to give everyday Africans access to global investment opportunities. Over time, it became more than just an app—it built a community of investors who believe in breaking barriers and opening new doors.
The rebranding to Hisa is the brand next step in that journey. It shows a stronger African identity and a long-term plan to create a truly seamless investing experience.
For current users, the company says this transition will bring better performance, improved features, and a renewed focus on helping them grow their wealth.
