Is Shares Saver regulated?

Shares Saver partners exclusively with stockbrokers regulated by the relevant Nigerian financial authorities. All share purchases are executed through these regulated partners.

What happens to my shares if Shares Saver closes down?

Your shares are registered in your own name with a regulated broker and registrar — not held by Shares Saver. If Shares Saver were to close, your shares would remain yours, accessible through your broker.

How does Shares Saver protect my personal data?

Shares Saver applies industry-standard encryption and data protection practices to secure your personal information and account data in line with applicable privacy law.

The strongest protection is ownership

If Shares Saver disappeared tomorrow, you’d still own your shares

Not a reassurance — a structural fact. Your name is on the register at the registrar, so the shares are not ours to lose. Your data is encrypted, and nothing is held as a platform balance.

How Shares Saver works

Registered in your name

The registrar records you as the holder — not a Shares Saver nominee account and not a pooled fund.

Trades executed by licensed brokers

We are not a stockbroker. Every purchase is placed on the NGX by an SEC-licensed broker partner.

Money held separately

Contributions sit in a client account until they buy shares. They are never working capital.

Why direct registration is the strongest protection

The safest position for a Nigerian stock investor is to have shares registered directly in your own name. When shares are held in a collective pool or shown as a platform balance, your access depends on that platform staying solvent. With Shares Saver, your ownership exists independently of us — which is why direct registration is the foundation of the model, not a feature.

How your investment is protected

Regulated stockbroker execution. Every purchase is executed through SEC-regulated Nigerian stockbroker partners; Shares Saver never trades itself.
Shares registered in your name. Not in Shares Saver’s books, but with the registrar and CSCS in your legal name.
Independent ownership record. Your holding is recorded with the broker and registrar independently of us. If Shares Saver closed, your shares would be unaffected.
Identity verification. Full KYC before any purchase protects the integrity of ownership records.
Account security. Strong passwords, secure authentication and session management.
Data protection. Personal information is stored and transmitted with industry-standard encryption, in line with Nigerian data-protection rules.
