Neway App - Download, Register & Trade on the ESX

Download the Neway app

Avoid APK downloads. Neway holds your National ID, biometric selfie and bank details, and places live orders. Installing it from a file-sharing site rather than the official store is one of the most common ways trading credentials are stolen.

How to register and place your first trade

1. 1

   Download the app

   On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store and install Neway ESX. On Android, open the Google Play Store and search for “Neway ESX”. Install only the listing published by the Ethiopian Securities Exchange.

2. 2

   Create your account

   Open the app and choose Create Account. Enter your full name, email address and phone number, then set a password.

3. 3

   Verify the OTP

   Neway emails you a six-digit one-time password. Enter it in the app to confirm your email and activate the account.

4. 4

   Complete identity verification

   You will be asked for your National ID - the Digital ID (Fayda) is preferred - a selfie for biometric matching, and your bank account details so trades can be settled.

5. 5

   Practise with simulated trading

   Neway includes a simulated mode that runs on real market data. Place a few practice orders there before committing money - the prices are live, the money is not.

6. 6

   Place a real order

   Once your account is approved and funded, search for a listed company, choose buy or sell, set your quantity and price, and submit. Track it from your portfolio.
