The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that the e-dividend portal can be accessed safely through two official websites: the SEC\u2019s own site at www.sec.gov.ng and the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) site.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This update comes as the SEC emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity amid increasing online fraud risks.<\/p>\n

Emomotimi Agama, the SEC\u2019s Director-General, highlighted that the SEC\u2019s website is secure for managing e-dividend accounts and claiming dividends.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that the only other reliable site for this purpose is the NIBSS site, due to its collaboration with SEC in developing the portal.<\/p>\n

Agama reassured that the request for Bank Verification Numbers (BVNs) on these portals is a standard security measure, aimed at authenticating the identity of investors.<\/p>\n

This step is crucial to prevent fraudulent activities and ensure accurate processing of dividend claims.<\/p>\n

He emphasized SEC\u2019s commitment to addressing unclaimed dividends, which adversely affect investors\u2019 returns.<\/p>\n

Investors are encouraged to use the new self-service feature on the NIBSS site for managing their accounts and resolving any issues with unclaimed dividends.<\/p>\n

The revamped e-Dividend Mandate Management System (e-DMMS) portal, introduced by SEC, aims to streamline the process, allowing investors to manage their dividend mandates online without needing to visit physical locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
