Speaking during the official launch of M-Shares at the NSE, Stanbic Bank Chief Executive Philip Odera, said it has opened a new and convenient investment opportunity for all Kenyans.

“We are proud to be part of this groundbreaking platform that effectively removes barriers that previously stood in the way of investors interested in the NSE. On mobile, investors can access and trade on the NSE from wherever they are. This continues a journey to drive financial inclusion through enhanced access to capital markets that we began in 2010 to facilitate online trading of shares on iTrader,” Mr Odera added.

“The mobile phone is part of the Kenyan lifestyle. We aim to further enrich this lifestyle by providing a convenient platform for investing on the NSE. At SBG Securities, we constantly innovate to deliver convenient solutions to our customers. This is the reason we continue to trailblaze for the industry” Mr Odera concluded.

SBG Securities has set up a  virtual  support  team  at its contact centre to  provide support  to M-Shares clients  and to answer queries.
