The Rwanda Capital Markets Authority has admitted BUTTON Ltd to its Fintech Regulatory Sandbox, allowing the firm to test its INVESTA innovation in a live capital market environment under the sandbox guidelines. The test focuses on a mobile and web-based solution designed to let retail investors, including the diaspora and investors in rural areas, buy and sell stock exchange-listed securities through brokers. INVESTA also includes AI-powered personalized investment guidance tailored to an investor’s objectives and risk appetite before investment decisions are made. The authority described the sandbox as a framework for small-scale, time-limited testing of fintech innovations before broader market deployment, with the stated aim of supporting capital market development in Rwanda. The live test will determine whether the platform can expand access to stock exchange products for Rwandan citizens and the diaspora through technology-enabled distribution and investor support tools.
