The naira bank-transfer minimum is [being verified].

Read this first: SEC Nigeria and ISA 2025
The Securities and Exchange Commission says under the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 it is an offence to operate an online foreign exchange (forex) trading platform in Nigeria without SEC registration3. Exness's regulation page no entity registered with SEC Nigeria is listed4. The SEC has also published draft rules for online forex: Proposed Rules on Online Forex Trading and Contract for Difference, published by the SEC on September 1, 2026 for public comment5; they are proposed rules, not yet in force6.
We cover what this means, and what the draft would change, in what ISA 2025 and the SEC draft rules mean for Exness users.
