Why Has My FGN Savings Bond for March 2026 Not Been Allocated Yet on Afrinvest, and Should I Be Concerned?

You don’t need to panic yet — your situation is actually normal for FGN Savings Bonds, especially when investing through Afrinvestor or any broker.

Here’s what’s happening:

📅 March 2026 FGN Savings Bond Timeline

Opening Date: March 2, 2026

Closing Date: March 6, 2026

Settlement / Allotment Date: March 11, 2026

Coupon Start Date: June 11, 2026

This means:

The DMO already completed allotment on March 11

But broker apps (like Afrinvestor) sometimes take a few days to update portfolios

Why Your Allocation May Not Show Yet

This usually happens because:

Broker processing delay (very common)

Registrar confirmation delay

High subscription volume

App update lag

This is very common — many investors see allocation:

Same day

2–3 days later

Sometimes up to 1 week later

What You Should Do Now

✔ Check your email (sometimes allocation comes via email first)

✔ Check your CSCS account (if you have one)

✔ Wait 24–72 hours (very important)

✔ If still not allocated, contact Afrinvest support

Important (Don’t Worry Yet)

FGN Savings Bonds are:

Government backed

No default risk

Allocation is almost always successful (especially retail investors)

So your money is safe — it’s just a processing delay.
