UBA Capital has launched Nigeria’s first online trading platform with real time investment account funding functionality.
The platform, www.investnow.ng, enables investors to fund their investment accounts directly and instantly, without the need to go through an account officer in the option of a client-company funds lodgement.
It also provides a live price feed (intra-day) for listed stocks, enabling investors to make informed decisions based on latest data.
“Since UBA Capital was founded our mission has been to develop the capital markets in Nigeria in order to give the investing public the confidence to invest actively,” UBA Capital Group Chief Executive Officer, Oluwatoyin Sanni, said at the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
He disclosed that investnow.ng combines “world class technology with a robust client data protection and security framework in order to give our clients a seamless experience when processing transactions.
“Our clients will have access to research materials to make informed investment decisions.”
UBA Capital clients will be able to manage portfolios online on mobile devices, tablets, laptops and desktop computers.
Uninterrupted connectivity to the portfolio is complemented by access to UBA Capital’s Online Customer Support chat functionality, so investors can talk directly to the customer service team who will manage regular enquiries, while more technical issues will be forwarded to account officers for swift resolution.
“By making investing in Nigeria quicker and simpler and providing real time data in order to inform investment choices, the investnow.ng platform brings us closer to our customers and we anticipate the transaction volumes rising over the coming weeks and months as our customers enjoy the flexibility and ease of building the Nigerian economy with UBA Capital.”
UBA Managing Directors, Wale Shonibare (Capital Investment Banking); Tokunbo Ajayi (Capital Trustees); Modupe Mujota (Capital Asset Management); and Jude Chiemeka (Capital Securities Trading) reiterated support for the platform.
Innovation is a key driver for all the businesses in the group so as to continue to provide quality of service to customers, they said.
