What Ghana-based investors should know
Funding from Ghana: use your Nigerian bank account
Ghanaian bank accounts (GHS) cannot be used to fund Shares Saver. You will need your Nigerian bank account. Nigerians in Ghana can use remittance services or transfer funds from their Ghanaian account to their Nigerian naira account, then fund from there.
GHS/NGN exchange rate
Nigerian shares are priced in Naira (₦). When transferring from a Ghanaian account, you will need to convert GHS to NGN. Exchange rates fluctuate — factor this into your investment planning.
