If you bought FCMB shares through the bank or a public offer and you are trying to track or claim your shares and dividends, here is the simple and correct way to handle it.
First, understand that your shares are safe. They are not lost and nobody can take them. The issue is usually that your details are not fully linked or updated in the system.
The best step is to contact the registrar that handles FCMB shares, which is CardinalStone Registrars Limited. You can reach out to them directly through their official contact channels and explain that you want to trace your shares.
When you contact them, they will ask for your details. If you already have a CSCS account, you should provide your CSCS number. If you do not have one, do not worry. You can provide your full name, email address, valid ID card, and any information you used when buying the shares. They will help you trace your records.
However, to properly manage and monitor your shares, it is very important that you open a stock brokerage account in Nigeria. This is where you will get your CSCS account and CHN number. These details will allow the registrar to link your shares directly to your brokerage account.
Let me use Mama Ngozi as an example:
Imagine she bought tomatoes from a supplier but did not register her name properly. The tomatoes are still hers, but the supplier cannot easily deliver or account for them. Once she registers properly and provides her correct details, everything becomes clear and organized.
This is the same situation with shares bought through the bank. Many people ignore the next step after buying shares. Buying from the bank is not the final step. You still need to connect your investment to a stockbroker so that your shares are properly recorded in your name and easy to track.
Also, always check for unclaimed dividends. You can verify this through your registrar or by checking with the Securities and Exchange Commission unclaimed dividends portal in Nigeria.
Your investment is safe, but you must take action by linking your details through a stockbroker and communicating with the registrar so you can fully access and control your shares and dividends.
