Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Safaricom, KCB, Kenya Power or KenGen shares via M‑PESA?

Yes, through either route: select the company in Ziidi Trader, or fund a broker account by paybill and search the ticker. One share is enough; at the 23 September 2026 close one Safaricom share cost KES 36.20 plus the 1.5 % commission on Ziidi Trader.

Does the NSE open on Saturday?

No. Trading is Monday to Friday only: an opening auction from 9.00 am, then continuous trading from 9.31 am to 3.00 pm. The exchange closes on public holidays.

Can I open a CDS account without visiting Kenya?

Yes. A licensed broker can onboard you remotely with a notarised passport copy, proof of address, a KRA PIN and bank details. You fund the account by international transfer.

Are fees the same at every broker?

The NSE, CMA, CDSC and compensation-fund levies are the same everywhere. The commission comes from each firm's own fee schedule, and minimum commissions, account fees and funding charges differ by firm.

Is the price on KenyaStocks the price I will pay?

No. KenyaStocks shows the previous close, end of day. During the session your broker shows the bids and offers as they stand, and your fill price comes from those.
