Founded in 2019, Ajaib is a rapidly growing investment platform in Indonesia. It offers financial technology services such as stock trading, mutual funds, and coins. The simplicity of investing through Ajaib inspired our name, which means "magic," as we aim to disrupt the financial industry magically. Our goal is to make stock trading accessible to millennials with our mobile-first approach, low fees, and user-friendly interface. Ajaib has become Indonesias first fully online stock brokerage, with no offline brokers or branches. Trusted by over 3 million customers, we are the fastest-growing investment startup in Southeast Asia. Backed by top investors like DST Global, Horizons Ventures, and Alpha JWC Ventures, we proudly became Indonesias first investment fintech unicorn.
