How can I fill and submit Zenith Bank e-dividend form using InvestNaija app in Nigeria?

Here is the clear, practical way to fill and submit Zenith Bank e-dividend form using InvestNaija (Nigeria)—step by step so you don’t get confused.
1. First understand what InvestNaija does
InvestNaija does NOT automatically submit your Zenith Bank e-dividend form.
What it does is:
Help you identify your shares/dividends
Show your CSCS/holding details
But you still submit e-dividend via your bank or registrar (Zenith Bank branch or registrar)
This is the standard SEC process in Nigeria.
2. Step-by-step: How to fill Zenith Bank e-dividend form
Step A — Get the correct form
You need the:
Zenith Bank e-Dividend Mandate Form (for Zenith shareholders / registrars like Veritas, First Registrars, etc.)
You can get it:
At any Zenith Bank branch
Or download from SEC/registrar website
Step B — Fill the form (important fields)
Fill exactly as it appears on your CSCS/InvestNaija profile:
You will be asked for:
Full name (must match CSCS records)

BVN (must be correct)
CSCS Clearing House Number (CHN) (VERY important)
