Technology & Infrastructure

Building a strong digital foundation.

At Kashup, technology is the backbone of operations. We have established a robust IT infrastructure to support seamless and secure investment processes — from onboarding to settlement.

Kashup integrates the core systems of Ethiopia's capital market — CSD, ATS, BBO, and Fayda — and layers on Wardya for identity verification, onboarding, fraud detection, AML, risk signals, geospatial intelligence, research, and deal analysis. Endpoint security, structured networking, and secure VPN connections protect every transaction.

Core Systems Integration

·CSD (Central Securities Depository) — secure custody, dematerialization, and settlement of securities
·ATS (Automated Trading System) — ESX core market platform: order matching, trade execution, real-time price discovery
·BBO (Brokerage Back Office) — client onboarding, account management, post-trade ops, ATS order initiation
·Fayda (National Digital ID) — KYC and investor identity verification
