ISIN Issuance

WHAT WE DO

ISIN Issuance

We are a globally recognized national numbering agency for the issuance of International Securities Identification Number (“ISIN”) which fosters standardization within the financial industry by upholding the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) principles and promoting ISIN, FISN and CFI codes for financial instruments. ISIN is a 12-digit alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a specific security, and its structure is defined in ISO 6166. An ISIN code assists with identification and cross border communication between various exchanges.

ISINs consist of the following:

Two alphabetic characters, which are the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the issuing country (for Nigeria the code is “NG”).

The basic code, which is nine characters (alphanumeric) in length.

One numerical check digit.

ISINs are allocated by a country’s respective national numbering agency (NNA). CSCS is the sole NNA, licensed by the Association of National Numbering Agency (“ANNA”), in Nigeria.

The ISIN Issuance Process

Start
End
Issuer pays the ISIN/Symbol creation fee
Issuer provides the details of the security and evidence of fee payment to CSCS
CSCS creates the ISIN for the security and advises the issuer
ISINs are issued per security. Therefore, more than one ISIN cannot be issued for security. Conversely, no two or more securities can be issued the same ISIN. This applies to even cases where, different instruments have the same attributes such as maturity dates, tenor, etc.
