About Ophir Markets

We’re building the financial gateway between Zambia and the world.

Ophir Markets is a product of Ophir Intelligence — a Zambia-rooted technology company building modern, institutional-grade software for African markets.

Mission

Every Zambian deserves access to the world’s best capital markets.

For decades, investing in U.S. stocks meant opening a foreign bank account, navigating exchange controls, and paying punishing fees. We’re changing that — one tap at a time. Ophir Markets is built for the market we actually live in: mobile-first, Kwacha-funded, compliance-aware, globally connected.

We believe the long-term wealth gap between continents is closed one fractional share at a time. Our job is to make that as simple as sending money on MoMo.
