Finnish bank accounts (EUR) cannot be used to fund Shares Saver directly. You will need your Nigerian bank account. Use a remittance service to transfer EUR to your Nigerian naira account, then fund your investment from there.

Finnish residents pay income tax on worldwide income to Verohallinto. Foreign investment income and dividends from Nigerian shares may be taxable in Finland. Shares Saver does not provide tax advice — consult a Finnish tax adviser before investing.
