How to Register on the Portal do Investidor

Registration on the Portal do Investidor is the first step to purchasing Angola government bonds directly from the Ministry of Finance. The process requires identity verification, tax registration, and bank account linkage. This guide walks through each step of the registration process.

Before You Begin — What You Need

Gather the following documents and information before starting your registration:

Registration Process — Step by Step

Step 1: Access the Portal

Navigate to the Portal do Investidor website. The platform is accessible via standard web browsers on desktop or mobile devices.

Step 2: Create Your Account

• Click the registration option and select your investor category (individual or institutional)
• Enter your personal information: full legal name, date of birth, nationality
• Provide your NIF (tax identification number)
• Enter your BI number or passport number with the issue date and expiration

Step 3: Identity Verification

The portal uses a multi-step verification process:

• Document upload — Upload a clear scan or photograph of your identity document (front and back)
• Facial verification — Some registration flows may require a selfie or video verification against your ID photo
• SMS verification — A one-time code is sent to your registered Angolan mobile number

Step 4: Bank Account Linkage

Link your Angolan bank account to the portal for funding investments and receiving payments:

• Enter your bank name, branch, and account number (IBAN format)
• The portal may initiate a micro-deposit verification to confirm account ownership
• This bank account will be used for all transactions: debiting investment amounts and crediting coupon payments and principal repayments

Step 5: CEVAMA Account Creation

Upon successful registration, a securities account is created for you at CEVAMA (Central de Valores Mobiliarios de Angola), the central securities depository. This account holds all government securities you purchase through the portal. The CEVAMA account creation is handled automatically as part of the registration process.

Step 6: Account Activation

After all verification steps are complete:

• Your account undergoes a review period (typically 1-5 business days)
• You receive confirmation via email and SMS when your account is activated
• You can then log in and begin participating in auctions

Common Registration Issues

• NIF not recognized — Ensure your tax registration is active with the AGT. If recently issued, allow time for the database to update.
• Bank account mismatch — The name on your bank account must exactly match your identity document. Discrepancies will block registration.
• Document quality — Rejected document uploads are the most common delay. Ensure clear, legible scans with all four corners visible.
• Mobile number — The registered phone number must be an active Angolan mobile line capable of receiving SMS.

Post-Registration Checklist

After your account is activated, prepare to invest:

• Log in and familiarize yourself with the portal interface
• Review upcoming auctions on the auction calendar
• Understand the difference between BTs and OTs (see treasury bills and treasury bonds)
• Review minimum investment amounts to plan your first purchase
• Read the step-by-step buying guide before your first auction

Security Recommendations

• Enable two-factor authentication if available
• Do not share your login credentials
• Log out after each session, especially on shared devices
• Monitor your linked bank account for any unauthorized transactions
• Update your contact information promptly if your phone number or email changes

For Foreign Investors

Non-resident investors follow a different registration pathway under the Aviso 15/19 framework, which requires a custodian bank relationship. See the foreign investor guide for the applicable process.
