Dubai: amana, a leading online neo-broker in the MENA region, is preparing to launch its highly anticipated, best-in-class trading app that will empower its customers by facilitating access to local and global financial markets, regardless of age, gender, income level, or level of experience.
The multi-asset investment app will offer amana customers a highly personalized trading experience and direct, commission-free access to thousands of assets, such as ETFs, commodities, stocks, currencies crypto, and more.

Gen Z – A reckoning force in investment
amana’s launch comes amid a broader surge in trading by the emerging Generation Z – a young, tech-savvy customer base.
