About Us

Secure, robust and straight-forward alternative for investors who choose to invest independently.

Our Origins

Originally designed and developed by Investec Bank, Clarity is the result of the desire to create a secure, robust and straight-forward alternative for investors who choose to invest independently in local and global markets.

The platform adheres to the highest standards and regulations and implemented advanced encryption and security measures to ensure the safety of users’ financial information. The bank’s access enabled Clarity to have the required infrastructure for seamless investing on the biggest exchanges in the world, while making currency exchange and share trading as simple and direct as it can be. At the same time, Clarity is an independent business, for independent users.

The goal was not to provide advice or managed expertise – but rather to let beginner or advanced investors take control of their own investment journeys and invest when, how, where and how much they want. All while having the peace of mind that comes with banking compliance and regulatory backing.

Choose your route

You can start investing how you want – either directly from your desktop or via mobile app (Apple or Android). Once you’ve signed up and signed in securely, you can access all your information and tools on the go, navigate your investments and the world’s markets through a simple user-friendly interface and see the latest analysis (delayed by only 15 minutes).

Drawing on years of practical investment experience, Clarity is the ideal independent investing alternative for investors of all kinds.
