Zedcrest Securities, the stockbroking arm of the Zedcrest Group, has introduced equity trading to the Zedcrest Wealth App. This update allows users to trade shares from over 150 companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange directly from their mobile phones.
This initiative aligns with Zedcrest Group’s objective to build a unified financial ecosystem that simplifies access to capital and investment avenues across Africa. By merging capabilities across asset management, investment banking, and securities trading, the organization aims to bolster capital formation and support regional economic stability.
The app now provides a holistic investment experience, enabling users to manage stocks alongside existing offerings like treasury bills, money market funds, and corporate debt instruments. The trading features are facilitated by Zedcrest Securities, which is a licensed trading member of the Nigerian Exchange Limited. This development follows the company’s 2024 acquisition and rebranding of RMB Nigeria Stockbrokers Limited.
Renah Osiemi, Managing Director of Asset Management, noted that the integration of equities serves the company’s goal of offering diverse tools for long-term wealth accumulation. Similarly, Simbiat Bada, Managing Director of Stockbroking, emphasized that the synergy between digital infrastructure and institutional execution makes it easier for investors to enter the market securely.
To encourage adoption, Zedcrest Securities is offering a three-month waiver on brokerage fees for new users trading on the platform. The launch campaign, titled “Take Your Position,” urges investors to take a proactive role in managing their financial future. The Zedcrest Wealth App continues to serve as a primary digital interface for the group’s comprehensive range of wealth management services.
