Nigerian citizens living in Ireland — in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway or anywhere across the country — can buy and own NGX-listed shares directly in their own name through Shares Saver. A valid BVN and Nigerian bank account are required.
Shares Saver is currently only available to Nigerian citizens. Non-Nigerians cannot invest at this time.
A valid BVN (Bank Verification Number) is required. Your BVN links your identity to Nigeria's banking system.
You must fund your account through a Nigerian bank account. Irish bank accounts (EUR) cannot be used for funding.
Ireland — particularly Dublin — has one of the fastest-growing Nigerian communities in Europe. Many Nigerians in Ireland are professionals, students, and entrepreneurs who maintain strong financial ties to Nigeria. Shares Saver allows you to formalise that connection by owning Nigerian company shares directly in your legal name.
Your holdings are registered in your own legal name with the Nigerian registrar — not held in a collective pool or through a nominee.
Shares Saver is built for gradual, long-term investing. Set a monthly amount and let your Nigerian share portfolio grow incrementally.
The entire process — onboarding, verification, savings plans, and portfolio management — is handled through the Shares Saver app from Ireland.
Irish bank accounts (EUR) cannot be used to fund your Shares Saver account. You will need to use your Nigerian bank account. Many Nigerians in Ireland use remittance services to move EUR to their Nigerian naira account first, then fund from there.
You will need to complete identity verification within the Shares Saver app using a valid Nigerian international passport or other accepted ID. The process is entirely digital.
Irish residents are subject to Irish income tax and capital gains tax on worldwide income. Foreign share investments and dividends may be taxable under Irish Revenue rules. Shares Saver does not provide tax advice — consult a qualified Irish tax adviser or accountant before investing.
