Unclaimed Dividends Checker

About ₦242 billion in unclaimed dividends sits in Nigeria's capital market, money that belongs to ordinary investors. Some of it could be yours. This free tool helps you find it in two steps: search your name on the SEC portal, then get your registrar and a direct link to claim.

Updated October 2026: the August 2026 plan to move unclaimed dividends to NELFUND is still under legal review, and the SEC has told registrars to keep paying shareholders who claim. What the NELFUND plan means for your claim.

How the checker works

Unclaimed dividend amounts are private to each registrar and the SEC — no tool can show your exact balance. What this checker does is get you to the right place fast:

• Step 1 — the SEC portal searches your name across every registrar at once and tells you which companies you hold and who manages them.
• Step 2 — the company lookup takes any of the 149 NGX-listed companies and gives you its registrar, phone number, and a direct link to that registrar's claim/e-dividend page. Three registrars (Coronation, Veritas, Africa Prudential) even let you search by name.

What you'll need to claim

• Your CSCS account number (from your stockbroker, or the CSCS portal at cscs.ng)
• Your BVN and bank account details
• A valid ID and your signature on the registrar's e-dividend mandate form

Unclaimed dividends don't earn interest and can be swept into the SEC's Investor Protection Fund after six years of inactivity — so the earlier you act, the better.
