Its securitization line covers receivables financing and fractionalized assets using a multi-purpose securitization structure and digital processes, with use cases including reduced minimum lot sizes, repackaging international investments, secondary-market trading of tokenized investments, and alternative asset classes such as art, luxury goods, real estate and commercial paper; the tokenization component is stated to be available only once approved by the Capital Markets Authority. The fund and wealth management line focuses on helping foreign investors deploy capital into Kenya, with compliance and fraud-prevention controls, FX risk management, optional use of international auditors and inspectors, and real-time client access to financials and transactions.
