Getting started on JengaFi takes just a few minutes. This guide walks you through every step — from creating your account to making your first investment and tracking your returns.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Head to jengafi.com and click 'Get Started'. You'll need to provide your full name, email address, and create a secure password. Email verification is sent immediately — click the link to activate your account.
Step 2: Complete KYC Verification
Before you can invest, you'll need to verify your identity. Navigate to Settings in your dashboard and upload a government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, or driver's licence). You'll also complete a brief investor questionnaire that helps us understand your investment experience and risk tolerance.
Verification typically takes under 24 hours. Your KYC status is displayed on your dashboard so you always know where you stand.
Step 3: Browse the Marketplace
Once verified, head to the Marketplace to explore available investment opportunities. Each listing shows the property details, location, expected returns (target IRR), investment term, minimum investment, and current funding progress.
Click into any project to see the full offering: developer background, independent valuation, legal documentation, risk disclosures, and project updates from the development team.
Step 4: Make Your Investment
Found a project you like? Click 'Invest' and enter your desired amount (minimum $100). Choose your payment method — card (via Stripe), bank transfer, or M-Pesa — and confirm. Your investment is recorded immediately, and you'll receive a confirmation email.
Your capital is held in escrow until the deal reaches its funding target. If the target isn't met, your funds are returned in full.
Step 5: Track Your Portfolio
Your dashboard is your command centre. From here you can see your total portfolio value, individual investment performance, payout history, and uploaded documents. The portfolio view breaks down your holdings by project, showing invested amount, current status, and cumulative returns.
That's it — five steps from sign-up to investor. The whole process takes under 10 minutes, and our team is available to help if you get stuck.
