Signing up takes minutes. Trading begins once your details are verified and your CSCS account is set up — the verification step is required of every licensed broker, so allow a little time for it to complete.

T+1 — one business day after your trade. The NGX moved to a T+1 settlement cycle in June 2026, making Nigeria one of the fastest-settling markets in the world.
