About Us

Bamboo is a financial platform designed to empower Africans with the resources needed to create wealth by providing real-time access to global markets.

Investing is a well-regarded and enduring method for creating lasting wealth around the globe.

However, in Africa, the majority are experiencing a decrease in wealth due to limitations in local capital markets, and volatile currency returns impacted by inflation and devaluation.

Additionally, many Africans are not investing due to a lack of knowledge about the investment process and what to invest in.

We have addressed this issue and created an internet-based brokerage platform that provides Africans with immediate access to international investment opportunities.

Over the course of several years, we have developed a seamless, data-informed, and open-investment platform that is accessible to all, regardless of where you are located, your income, or your financial knowledge.

Our technology offers real-time access to the US Stock market, as well as other global capital markets and investment products, providing both retail investors and institutions with opportunities for real, inflation-adjusted returns.

The U.S. stock market has a market cap exceeding $31 trillion, representing more than 85% of the total funds invested in global markets. Bamboo, as a pioneering platform, is enabling Africans to access the boundless opportunities offered by the global markets.

Bamboo provides the Bamboo Fixed Returns*, an investment in dollar-denominated fixed-income that offers potential annual returns of up to 8% USD.

This investment option minimizes risk while allowing you to enjoy the advantages of being invested, such as higher yields compared to traditional dollar savings accounts.

Bamboo enables quick and effortless exploration of top investment options, both globally and locally.

Users can swiftly fund their account with either dollars or their local currency and begin purchasing shares, ETFs, or investing in Fixed Returns with just a few simple steps.

Bamboo employs bank-level security measures and holds all brokerage accounts at top-tier local and U.S. brokerages. Each Bamboo brokerage account is safeguarded by the SIPC.
