Meristem Launches Meritrade 2.0 to Enhance Trading Access

Meristem Stockbrokers has officially launched Meritrade 2.0, an upgraded version of its popular online trading platform, designed to enhance participation in Nigeria's capital market, particularly among the youth demographic. The relaunch event took place at Meristem Securities Limited's office in Lagos.

Meritrade 2.0 aims to simplify the trading process, enabling users to easily track stock market activities and execute trades from the comfort of their homes. The Managing Director of Meristem Stockbrokers emphasized that the platform caters specifically to Nigeria's growing youth population, which has shown a significant interest in cryptocurrency but has not yet translated that interest into traditional capital market participation.

Meritrade was initially launched in 2014, and the need for an upgrade became evident due to technological advancements and the evolving needs of tech-savvy investors. The Chief Operating Officer noted that the timing of the launch is ideal, especially with the anticipated listing of Dangote Refinery on the NGX.

Meristem Stockbrokers has ranked 4th in transaction value as of January 2026, executing trades worth N51.2 billion.
