If your nephew is under 18 years old, he generally cannot open and operate an investment account on his own. His parent or legal guardian will usually need to be involved and complete the required identity verification (KYC).
For an InvestNaija account, the usual process is:
Download the InvestNaija app or sign up on the web platform.
Choose the appropriate account type (if a minor account or guardian account is available).
Provide the child’s details along with the parent or legal guardian’s information.
Upload the required KYC documents, which may include:
The child’s birth certificate or other valid identification (where applicable).
The parent/guardian’s valid ID.
Passport photograph(s).
Bank account details, if required.
Wait for the account to be verified before funding and investing.
If your nephew is 18 years or older, he can create an individual InvestNaija account in his own name using his personal information and valid identification.
If you tell me your nephew’s age (for example, 10, 15, or 19 years old), I can give you the exact procedure that applies to his situation.
