Nigerian Exchange launches WhatsApp channel for stock investing via NGX Invest

Nigerian Exchange (NGX) launched a WhatsApp channel for its NGX Invest platform on Wednesday, allowing users to discover public offers and subscribe without downloading another app. To use the service, save the number +234 812 731 9521 on WhatsApp and send the word "Invest"; you’ll then see eligible offers and can follow the prompts to complete a subscription. The NGX says the channel is aimed at making investing more accessible, especially around salary days when users might want to allocate funds to the stock market. The exchange also highlighted that users who prefer can invest some of that cash and buy Moonshot tickets, and it is seeking stories from people whose careers or ventures changed after attending Moonshot events. The service is available to anyone with WhatsApp in Nigeria, providing a low‑friction route to retail investing via the NGX. No app download is required, and the process is designed to be quick: after texting "Invest," users receive automated messages guiding them through available offers and subscription steps. This move reflects NGX’s effort to tap into Nigeria’s growing mobile‑first audience and simplify access to capital market products.
