Quality Assurance Associate

About SecondSTAX

SecondSTAX (SSX) was founded on the principle that investment firms will not be limited to investing only in their resident jurisdictions but will have access to trade in other markets and generate additional revenue for themselves and their clients. To bridge this gap in the market, SSX provides financial technology to investment firms for cross-border trading in African stocks and bonds.

SecondSTAX’s Vision

To integrate and harmonize the fragmented African Capital Markets sector for investment firms (i.e., asset managers, broker-dealers, and institutional investors) by enhancing existing and in many cases facilitating new cross-border transaction flows.

SecondSTAX’s Mission

Promote Pan-African cross-border capital investments through financial technology.
