1. Choose a regulated broker in Kenya

Before you can buy and sell SCOM shares on the NSE, you must first open a brokerage account. To take this next step, however, Kenyans must first open a CDS account.

You can accomplish this through the Central Bank of Kenya on your own, or you can go through an investment bank, commercial bank, investment advisor, or NSE-listed stockbroker who offers this service.

When opening a CDS account through the CBK, Kenyan investors have the option of opening the account only in their names or opening accounts with their spouses.
