Since the platform’s launch in January 2022, Okoora has experienced significant growth, attracting over 7,000 enterprises and SMBs as customers. Today the platform has processed tens of thousands of transactions, totaling billions of dollars, and all Okoora customers (100%) acquired in 2022 have renewed their ABCM licenses for 2023.
As the Israeli government embarked on legal reforms, Okoora’s system identified a heightened business risk environment. By adhering to Okoora’s risk management recommendations, organizations and businesses have successfully mitigated these risks. Satisfied customers continue to highlight the effectiveness of Okoora’s platform, and one customer, in particular, reported earning 150 million NIS (approximately US$40 million) within just five months by implementing the system’s hedge transaction recommendations. These success stories underscore the platform’s value and its potential positive impact on a business’s financial outcomes.
“Okoora’s mission is to simplify global currency operations and instill confidence in businesses worldwide,” says Benjamin Avraham, CEO and Founder of Okoora. “Our advanced AI-based risk management system continuously analyzes customers’ activities, unique characteristics, and the business environment. This, combined with tailored alerts and recommendations, has led to significant financial gains for Israeli businesses, totaling billions of shekels. Building on this success, we now aim to expand our unparalleled technological solution to organizations throughout Europe. As CEO and Founder, I am committed to making currency risk management accessible and seamless, empowering millions of businesses to thrive in the global marketplace.”
