Lesson 3.1: Opening a CDS Account & Broker Selection

To trade shares on the NSE, you need a CDS (Central Depository System) Account.

This account is like a bank account, but instead of holding money, it holds your shares electronically.

Requirements to open: National ID/passport, passport photo, KRA PIN, proof of address.

You must also select a licensed stockbroker or investment bank to facilitate trades.

Tip: Choose a broker with good online platforms, customer support, and transparent fees.
