The Customer-Centric Brokerage You Want to Explore
As Dr. Yakubu Ishaku, the founder of Kwakol, talks about how he started his career in trading after getting a medical degree, how he founded Kwakol with the help of his brothers, he also explains the origin of the name Kwakol and how the company operates globally.
SPT: You don’t see that often, but what made you switch from medicine to this branch?
YI: As a medical practitioner, you get to be very analytical, which is something that has helped me with our company. You always think about people as your main focus, and that’s how we create a customer-centric brokerage.
SPT: And the name Kwakol, where does the name come from? It’s unique, catchy, and grabs attention!
YI: It’s the combination of three names in our native languages – Kohe, Koji, and Lingo.
Dr. Yakubu Ishaku said he and his brothers had a global vision in mind for their company since day one, with licenses from Australia and plans for expansion in LATAM and Southeast Asia.
Global Presence and Active Expansion
As a customer-centric brokerage company, Kwakol is expanding globally by partnering with local companies to tap into the unique African market and offering flexible trading options, including synthetic instruments and crypto trading, with a focus on client feedback and participation in events to showcase new developments.
Discussing the challenges in the African market with Popovski-Turanjanin, Dr. Ishaku talked about the importance of partnering with local companies.
YI: African traders are very unique; they value personal interaction, while European traders prefer a more hands-off approach, but both are seeing a growing demand for synthetic instruments and crypto trading.
SPT: What problems do you see happening in the fintech world?
YI: Fintech is booming in Africa, with potential for expansion to Europe, but regulations are becoming stricter worldwide. The African market, particularly Nigeria, with over 200 million people, is rapidly growing for broker companies. This is primarily due to its young and tech-savvy population with internet penetration, giving them a huge potential for growth.
The company is expanding into new markets, with registered offices in Nigeria, Dubai, and Australia, prioritizing client feedback and participating in events to showcase new developments.
