Case Study: Dubai-based Investment Management Company launches a mobile brokerage platform with Itexus

Dubai-based Investment Management Company launches retail brokerage platform in under a year with Itexus

A Dubai-based investment management company sought to expand its retail investment business across African markets but faced the challenge of making brokerage services accessible to a new audience. The company needed a new platform that could support local payment methods like M-PESA, fractional share investing from as little as $1, and a simplified user experience for first-time investors, all while meeting strict regulatory requirements. They selected Itexus to build this complex, regulated brokerage platform.

Itexus designed and implemented a retail brokerage platform consisting of a native mobile trading app for iOS and Android and a web-based operations console. The solution integrated automated KYC, local funding and withdrawals, stock and ETF trading, and AI-powered market analysis. The platform successfully launched to the public, attracting over 2,000 early adopters and more than 10,000 app downloads within its first two months. Itexus continues to provide post-launch support and maintenance for the live product.
