  "account": "Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has broadened investor access to its NGX Invest platform by introducing a WhatsApp subscription service. Investors can initiate the process by messaging \"Invest\" to NGX Invest on WhatsApp at +234 812 731 9521, followed by completing the subscription steps through the provided prompts. This new channel is part of NGX Invest's expanding distribution network, which already includes over 100 channels such as stockbrokers, banks, fintechs, mobile operators, and other financial institutions connected via API.\n\nBy integrating WhatsApp, NGX Group aims to streamline the investment process and bring primary-market opportunities closer to investors using a familiar platform. For issuers, the integration presents an additional avenue to attract a wider investor base and expedite capital raising. This development aligns with NGX Group's broader strategy to leverage technology, partnerships, and open distribution infrastructure to increase participation in Nigeria's capital market.\n\nSecurity is paramount in the investor journey. While WhatsApp serves as the interface for accessing the service, subscriptions are securely processed through NGX Invest's regulated infrastructure. Investors are advised to communicate exclusively with the official NGX Invest WhatsApp number and refrain from sharing sensitive credentials like passwords, PINs, OTPs, or other personal information with third parties.",
