In a bid to drive innovation and enhance transparency in Nigeria’s capital market, the Central Securities Clearing System Plc (CSCS) has unveiled a suite of new services aimed at improving investor experience, promoting inclusion, and strengthening market resilience.
The new offerings—Joint Accounts, Premium Investor Tiers, API Access, and Expanded Data Services—highlight CSCS’s ongoing transformation as a key market infrastructure institution committed to deepening the Nigerian capital market.
The Joint Accounts feature allows families, business partners, and co-investors to seamlessly manage and monitor investments collectively, delivering increased flexibility and transparency in line with growing demand for shared investment solutions.
With the introduction of Premium Investor Tiers, CSCS is set to reward active investors through tailored services and enhanced support. The initiative provides a more personalized experience, ensuring convenience, reliability, and stronger engagement across various investor categories.
CSCS has also launched API Access, enabling financial technology firms, brokers, and other market operators to integrate directly with its systems. This is expected to accelerate automation of core processes, stimulate innovation, and deliver faster, more efficient services to both investors and institutions.
Additionally, the Expanded Data Services will improve access to critical market information, further boosting transparency and supporting informed decision-making among stakeholders.
Speaking on the development, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CSCS, Shehu Shantali, said the initiatives align with the organisation’s commitment to delivering a seamless and secure post-trade environment.
“Our commitment has always been to create a seamless and secure post-trade environment that supports market growth. These new services are designed to make things easier for investors and to help stakeholders access better data, faster transactions, and deeper value across the ecosystem,” he said.
The rollout represents a significant step in CSCS’s broader mission to build a resilient financial ecosystem anchored on technology, collaboration, and long-term value creation.
