How can we help you?
What is a BO account?
A Beneficiary Owner (BO) account is held with CDBL through a Depository Participant like SASL. It holds your shares electronically and is required to trade on DSE and CSE.
What documents do I need to open an account?
Your NID, a recent photo, your signature, bank account details (cheque leaf or statement) and your nominee’s NID and photo. NRBs need a passport and NRB bank account.
How long does account opening take?
Filling in the online form takes about 10 minutes. Once verified, your BO ID and login are usually sent within one working day.
Can I transfer my existing BO account to SASL?
Yes. You can open a new account with us and transfer your holdings, or link your existing account. Our client desk will guide you.
How do I place an order?
Use the Web OMS, desktop terminal or SASL mobile app, or call our dealing desk during market hours.
What are the trading hours?
DSE and CSE trade Sunday to Thursday. Exact session times follow exchange notices, which we publish under News & Notice.
What is the brokerage commission?
Commission is charged as a percentage of trade value. See the Pricing table on Products & Services or use the brokerage calculator.
How do I deposit money?
By BEFTN, NPSB, RTGS or cheque from a bank account in your own name. Upload the deposit slip in the app or send it to the client desk.
When will I receive my withdrawal?
Requests submitted before the daily cut-off are usually received in your linked bank account the next working day.
How do I apply for an IPO?
Log in to the app or portal, choose an open IPO, enter the amount and confirm. Funds are blocked automatically.
What happens if I do not get an allotment?
Blocked funds are released back to your account balance once the lottery result is published.
