Buying or selling shares for the first time?

  • Click on any button that says 'buy' or ‘sell’. These buttons can be found in the top right, on the watchlists, or quote screens. ​

  • Put in the instrument that you'd like to trade. ​

From here, you select the amount that you'd like to trade and its price limit. If you'd like some further information on market depth to help you choose your price limit, check out our Market Depth help tab.​​

What you need to sell shares on the NZX

​​To sell shares on the NZX, you will need to have your FIN handy. If you do not have a copy of your FIN, you will need to contact your shares registry. Your company's share registry can be found on the NZX website. ​

If you hold shares on a Holder Number, or CSN different to the one found in your my preferences tab, please let our team know by emailing us at [email protected]
