Free account, no minimum balance, and you can pause any month.
Sign-up to ownership
Eight things happen between creating an account and your name appearing on a share register. Here is every one of them, including the parts we don't do ourselves.
Download the Shares Saver investment app or sign up at sharessaver.com. Registration is free. Provide your basic personal details to get started.
Takes less than 5 minutes.
Upload your identity documents — a valid Nigerian ID, passport, or driver's licence — to verify your identity in line with Nigerian KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations.
Usually approved within 1–3 business days.
Browse the available companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) and select the one you want to invest in. Shares Saver offers a curated selection of established Nigerian companies.
Pick one or multiple companies.
Set the amount you want to save each month towards buying shares. Shares Saver creates a structured plan that helps you invest regularly and consistently over time.
Start with whatever amount suits you.
Add money to your Shares Saver account using your preferred payment method. Funds are held securely while your savings plan accumulates towards a purchase.
Multiple funding options available.
Once your savings plan reaches the threshold for a purchase, Shares Saver instructs one of its regulated stockbroker partners to buy your shares on the NGX at market price.
All brokers are fully regulated.
After market settlement, the shares you purchased are registered directly in your legal name with the relevant registrar — not in a collective fund, not as a platform balance.
This is the key difference. You own the shares.
View your shareholding, track value over time, access ownership documentation, and set up future contributions — all from within the Shares Saver app.
Your dashboard. Your portfolio.
The parts we don't do
Shares Saver is an administrator, not a stockbroker or an adviser. The buying, settlement and registration are done by regulated firms — and that is the point.
Collects your monthly amount, instructs the broker, keeps your records and shows you your portfolio.
Executes the purchase on the NGX at the market price and settles the trade.
Record you as the legal owner. The shares exist in your name whether or not Shares Saver does.
