UK-based Nigerians can buy and own NGX-listed shares directly in their own name through Shares Saver. Your holdings are registered through regulated Nigerian stockbroker partners — not held in a pooled or nominee structure.
The process is the same as for Nigeria-resident users. You create a Shares Saver account, complete identity verification, choose an NGX-listed company, set a savings plan, and fund your account. Shares Saver then instructs a regulated Nigerian stockbroker to purchase and register your shares.
You will need to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification to comply with Nigerian regulations. A valid government-issued ID — such as an international passport — is typically accepted. The process is completed within the Shares Saver app.
Nigerian shares are priced in Naira (₦) on the NGX. Currency conversion and payment options within Shares Saver may vary. Contact support or check the app for current GBP funding guidance.
Unlike some platforms where your portfolio is just a balance view, Shares Saver works so that purchased shares are registered directly in your legal name with the relevant Nigerian registrar. Your ownership record exists independently of the Shares Saver platform.
Shares Saver does not provide tax advice. UK residents may have reporting or tax obligations under HMRC rules when investing in overseas assets. Please consult a UK-qualified tax adviser before investing. This page is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment or tax advice.
