As far as I am aware CFC Stanbic is not in control of the settlement/clearance of traded shares which is within the purview of CDSC/NSE. I would not therefore expect the settlement period of T+4 to change.

Reading the story on BD, there was a suggestion it would reduce to T+2 - I wonder how and I suspect it could be a case of misreporting, until I see a statement from CSFS Stanbic themselves. I am aware that CFC Stanbic is the clearing bank for the NSE/most brokers so maybe that's where the advantage may arise.

All the same this is a sweet innovation that other brokers need to emulate!!!

[quote=qw25041985]Can you all people get serious !!!!!!!!!!! For real. This site ISNOT even secure.Surely a huge company like CfcFinancial cannot consider SSL encryption. Here's the login url for the Sfc Financial online trading : http://www.csfs.co.ke/ActiveLite/ .
As you can see there's not letter S on the http part of the url and this shows that your login credentials are goin through the internet unsecurely.
I have raised this issue time and time again and it has fallen on deaf ears.

THIS IS A WARNING .Please DONOT use CfcFinancial for online stock trading.[/quote]
Sooo true, an IT friend of mine told me the same. I wonder why most Kenyan websites overlook this. I highly doubt anyone in the west will dare transact business on a site thats not https!
