Own a piece of the companies you believe in.

Every share on the Nairobi Securities Exchange is a piece of a real business: the bank you use, the brewer you know, the telco in your pocket. Faida has executed trades on this market since 1995, and the whole capability now fits in an app.

We will take you from phone to portfolio in four steps.

Open

Open your CDS account free of charge through the M-Trader app or our online form.

Fund

Top up by M-Pesa paybill or bank transfer, in minutes.

Trade

Buy from as little as 100 shares of any listed company.

Track

Follow your portfolio, statements, and our research in the app, with sales settling on the standard T+3 cycle.

We packed M-Trader with what a trader actually needs.

Live market prices and depth, so you trade on current information rather than yesterday’s close.

Your full portfolio valuation whenever you open the app.

Our research team’s recommendations delivered inside the platform.

Corporate actions and company news as they happen, and client statements on demand.

Fees are simple: you pay a commission on each trade, covering our brokerage fee and statutory levies to the CMA, NSE, and CDSC. The current commission schedule is published on this page and in the app.
