For many people, investing still feels complex, intimidating, or inaccessible. We wanted to change that. The new i-invest experience is designed to make wealth creation simpler, more intuitive, and accessible to more people, regardless of where they are on their financial journey.

Tobi Olusoga, CEO of Parthian Technologies, stated that the transformation was driven by a desire to remove barriers that have traditionally discouraged many Nigerians from participating in investment opportunities. "For many people, investing still feels complex, intimidating, or inaccessible. We wanted to change that," Olusoga said. "The new i-invest experience is designed to make wealth creation simpler, more intuitive, and accessible to more people, regardless of where they are on their financial journey."

The platform now features a modernized interface allowing users to personalize dashboards, track investments efficiently, discover opportunities, and access tailored market information.

In addition to the redesign, i-invest has introduced asset-backed loans in partnership with i-Monie Microfinance Bank. This allows eligible users to access financing using their investment portfolios as collateral, helping them meet short-term needs without liquidating holdings. Wendy Okam, CEO of i-Monie Microfinance Bank, confirmed that investors can access these loans directly through the i-invest platform, with financing provided by her bank. The platform also boasts enhanced security measures, including PIN authorization, biometric authentication, and advanced infrastructure to protect user data and assets. Kole Kuyoro, CTO of Parthian Technologies, emphasized that trust is central to their innovation. "The future of digital finance depends on trust," he stated.
