Generation Start-up: How amana aims to be the Robinhood for Mena retail investors – The National

Karim Farra and Ziad Aboujeb, co-founders of neo-broker amana, created the retail investment platform with the aim of democratising and reshaping the Middle East and North Africa’s financial investment landscape.

The Dubai-based investing and trading platform offers an assortment of assets, including local shares, international shares, exchange-traded funds, commodities, foreign exchange and cryptocurrencies.

“We are catering to a market that has long been and continues to be underserved. Penetration remains low relative to global standards, suggesting plenty of growth ahead,” says Mr Farra, who has been active in the investing and FinTech space for the past 25 years.
