Account Types and Trading Options with Exness in Nigeria

Understanding Exness Account Categories for Nigerian Traders

Our company provides multiple account types designed specifically for Nigerian traders seeking forex and CFD trading opportunities. We offer Standard, Raw Spread, Pro, and Zero accounts, each tailored to different trading styles and experience levels. Nigerian clients can access these accounts with minimum deposits starting from $100 (approximately ₦165,000 based on current exchange rates). The account registration process supports Nigerian identification documents including National Identification Number (NIN), international passports, and driver’s licenses. We accept local payment methods such as MTN MoMo, Opay, and direct bank transfers in Nigerian Naira. Our platform automatically converts NGN deposits to USD for trading purposes using real-time exchange rates.

Each account type offers different spreads, commission structures, and leverage options up to 1:2000 for retail clients. Nigerian traders can switch between account types without losing their trading history or requiring new verification procedures. We maintain all accounts under Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) regulation, ensuring fund protection for Nigerian clients.

Standard Account Features for Beginning Nigerian Traders

We designed our Standard account as the primary choice for Nigerian traders starting their forex and CFD trading journey. This account type requires a minimum deposit of $100, making it accessible for most Nigerian clients. The Standard account offers spreads starting from 0.3 pips on major currency pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Nigerian traders using Standard accounts receive commission-free trading on all instruments including forex pairs, precious metals, and energy commodities. We provide instant execution speeds averaging 0.1 seconds for Standard account orders.

The account supports all trading platforms including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and our proprietary Exness Trader application.

Deposit Methods for Standard Accounts in Nigeria

Our Standard accounts accept multiple Nigerian payment methods for convenient funding. We support mobile money services including MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, and Opay for instant deposits. Nigerian bank transfers through GTBank, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA, and FirstBank process within 24 hours. Credit and debit card deposits work with Visa and Mastercard issued by Nigerian banks. We also accept Perfect Money, Skrill, and Neteller for Nigerian clients preferring e-wallet solutions. All deposit methods convert NGN to USD automatically at competitive exchange rates.

Trading Conditions and Instrument Access

Standard account holders access over 120 trading instruments including 50+ currency pairs, precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), and energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas). We offer fractional lot trading starting from 0.01 lots, suitable for Nigerian traders managing smaller account balances. The account supports Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading strategies without restrictions. We provide negative balance protection, ensuring Nigerian traders cannot lose more than their account balance. Stop-out levels are set at 0% margin level, giving maximum flexibility for position management.

Raw Spread Account Benefits for Active Nigerian Traders

Our Raw Spread account caters to Nigerian traders requiring tighter spreads and professional trading conditions. This account type features spreads starting from 0.0 pips on major currency pairs, with commissions charged at $3.50 per standard lot traded. The minimum deposit requirement is $200 (approximately ₦330,000). Raw Spread accounts receive priority execution during high-volatility periods affecting Nigerian trading sessions. We route orders directly to our liquidity providers, ensuring minimal slippage during London and New York session overlaps. The account supports scalping strategies and high-frequency trading without restrictions.

Nigerian traders using Raw Spread accounts benefit from enhanced order execution speeds averaging 0.05 seconds. We provide access to Level II pricing data, showing market depth and order book information. The account includes advanced risk management tools such as guaranteed stop losses and trailing stops.

Commission Structure and Cost Analysis

Raw Spread account commissions are charged per round-turn trade at $3.50 per standard lot. For Nigerian traders trading mini lots (0.1), the commission equals $0.35 per round-turn trade. We calculate commissions in USD and deduct them automatically from account balance upon trade closure. The total trading cost combines spreads plus commissions, often resulting in lower overall costs compared to Standard accounts for active traders. Nigerian clients trading more than 10 standard lots monthly typically achieve cost savings with Raw Spread accounts. We provide detailed commission reports accessible through the Exness Personal Area.

Professional Account Options for Experienced Nigerian Traders

We offer Pro and Zero accounts for Nigerian traders demonstrating advanced trading experience and larger capital commitments. Pro accounts require $200 minimum deposits and provide spreads from 0.1 pips without commissions.

Both professional account types include enhanced customer support with dedicated account managers for Nigerian clients. We provide priority withdrawal processing, typically completing requests within 1 hour during business days. Professional accounts access exclusive market analysis and trading signals from our research team.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

Professional accounts offer maximum leverage up to 1:2000 for Nigerian retail clients, subject to instrument-specific limitations. Major currency pairs support full 1:2000 leverage, while exotic pairs and commodities may have reduced leverage ratios. We implement dynamic leverage adjustments based on account equity levels.
