FXPesa to upscale financial literacy program in Kenya

By Monica MUEMA

Fx-pesa has announced plans to upscale its financial literacy Programme targeting Kenyan youth across the country.

Started three years ago at the peak of the Coronavirus pandemic, the program has since impacted over 330,000 young adults’ the majority of whom are university learners with financial literacy programs on relevant investment opportunities like forex trading.

According to the firm’s officials, the move is part of a long-term need to prepare the younger generation on available investment and business opportunities via online platforms, with financial literacy touted as a safe bet in unlocking that potential.

Presently, there is a huge potential in the use of mobile apps to tap investment opportunities globally, among the stocks in the different markets, gold, and oil trading.

The firm further plans to roll out a mobile platform and expand its physical presence in the country from the current six locations.

Fx-pesa is operated by EGM Securities Limited, a subsidiary of Equiti Group.
