What Happened to Chaka? Meet Hisa, the New Investment App for Nigerians and Kenyans

If you opened your phone and couldn't find Chaka where you left it, don't worry, it hasn't disappeared.

The investment platform has officially rebranded to Hisa, launching a new app that the company says is designed to make investing easier for everyday users in Nigeria.

The change has left some users asking a simple question: What happened to Chaka? The short answer is that Chaka has become Hisa. The Hisa investment app allows Nigerian investors to access local equities and ETFs while benefiting from the infrastructure built by Chaka, Nigeria's first SEC-licensed digital sub-broker.

What this means is that the company behind the platform remains the same, and existing customers won't lose their accounts, portfolios, investment history, or login information. Instead, users are being moved to a new app experience with additional features and a fresh identity.

But why change the name?

According to the company, the new name reflects a broader vision.

"Hisa" means "shares" in Swahili, one of Africa's most widely spoken languages. The company says the new brand better represents its goal of serving investors across multiple African markets rather than focusing on a single country.

The new app also comes with several upgrades.

Users can now set up automatic investments, access market research directly within the platform, and trade during extended market hours. The interface has also been redesigned to make investing easier for beginners.

Perhaps most importantly, Hisa says it is simplifying pricing with a flat 1% commission per trade.

For anyone new to investing, the platform offers access to shares listed on the Nigerian Exchange and ETFs.

The company believes many people want to invest but are often discouraged by complicated processes, confusing fees, and a lack of guidance. Hisa is designed to address those concerns and make getting started feel less overwhelming.

For current users, little changes beyond the name and app experience.

For people who have never invested before, Hisa hopes to become the platform that finally helps them take the first step.

So if you've been wondering what happened to Chaka, the answer is simple: it grew into something bigger, and its new name is Hisa.

Hisa is now available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Existing Chaka users can simply update their app to access the new Hisa experience, while new users can sign up directly to begin investing.
