Our holding company @PurpleGroupPPE interim results are out, and we couldn't be prouder! 🙌 🟣

"We build wherever we are.
The Company is on track for a strong full-year result. The trajectory into FY2027 remains compelling, driven by the organic compounding of the existing client base, the Philippines scaling into a revenue contributor, and second-half product launches adding incremental earnings." @CharlesHSavage

R2 Billion. In 26 Days.
Today, for the first time in our history, @EasyEquities has surpassed R2 billion in deposits in a single month.

And we did it in just 26 days.
With two days still to go in February.

I’m not writing this as a CEO announcement.
I’m writing this as someone who remembers the first year.

In our first year of Easy, we raised R100 million in client assets.

I remember celebrating that number.
It felt enormous.
It felt impossible.
It felt like proof that maybe… just maybe… this idea — that everyone deserves access to investing — might actually work.

This month alone, in less than four weeks, clients have deposited 20 times that amount.

What took us an entire year to achieve in 2014 now happens in a single day.

When I saw the dashboard tick past R2bn, I didn’t think about growth rates.
I didn’t think about projections.
I didn’t think about valuation.
I thought about the early days.
The doubt.
The funding stress.
The sceptics.
The nights wondering if we were naïve to believe South Africans would invest if only given the chance.

And I thought about trust.

Because that’s what R2 billion really is.
It’s not cash.
It’s not inflows.
It’s not a metric.

It’s millions of individual decisions —
people choosing to build rather than consume,
to own rather than rent,
to invest rather than simply hope.

There are tears in moments like this. Quiet ones.
Not because of the number —
but because of what it represents.
Belief compounds.
Trust compounds.
Opportunity compounds.

And when that compounding starts to accelerate, you realise something bigger is happening.

This isn’t just company growth.
It’s a movement.

One day, perhaps 100 years from now, someone will ask:

“How did South Africans become so wealthy?”
And the answer will be:

“Because @EasyEquities made it their mission and purpose to be so — a very long time ago.”

Today felt like one of those chapters.
Thank you to every client who trusted us.
Thank you to every team member who built through uncertainty.
Thank you to every partner who believed.
We’re only just getting started.
We’re still so early.
Charles

[Carly Esterhuizen @ShareGalCarly]

I think this is my favourite InsureTalk I’ve MC’d yet! All about cyber security and compliance, which couldn’t be more relevant. AI - a hot topic today! Nice work @cnandco events team for putting together this NB industry event.

Not to mention I get Thrive L10 this month just for doing an application!

[Carly Esterhuizen @ShareGalCarly]

This is the year that I square away my credit card debt. Its not huge but its hella expensive. I finally did an @easyequities EasyCredit application - super quick and easy and I qualify for enough to smash my credit card debt AND get a nice first TFSA deposit for next tax year!

[Carly Esterhuizen @ShareGalCarly]

EasyCredit offers a much lower interest rate - so while I still need to pay that money back - its going to cost me a lot less.
