Good day House, below is my situation:

I am Nigerian but reside in Canada. I have an account with GTB with roughly N16m; I opened the account with aggressive contributions from here because I had plans to build my retirement home, but my plans have changed. Currently I intend to find a reliable broker what would let me use 90% of my funds to invest in some U.S stock for maybe 10-15years; I mean letting N16m idle in my savings account with little monthly interest payment from GTB isn't quite encouraging.

So, guys, what are your recommendations? During registration, my residential address has to match my ID documents here in Canada, as I don't have a Nigerian address-- I dig Trading212 but they don't support Canada. Does any member of this forum have a similar situation? How did you go about it?

I appreciate your guys' help. And by the way, I did read through the entire 205 pages, but nothing relates to my situation.

Thanks for your help guys!

With Passfolio or any of the Nigerian Apps, you can trade with your naira domiciled in your GTB account , while still living in Canada.
That's what i do.
Suffice to say you have a functional GTB mobile App to be able to transfer money from the account.

talk2tonie:


When in Canada, can you fund your trading212 account using your Canadian (CAD) bank card?
Pls reply.

ChybuzzDD:

I don't know if T212 is available for those in Canada. I'm in a different country, and not using T212 currently.

passfolio is like Trading212, it doesn't support Canada. When I selected Nigeria, they required me to add my residential address in Nigeria; that I don't have. Is there a way around this? Thanks...

jajeri3216:


Me, i live abroad , also have some change in Nigeria.

I opted for passfolio, you don't need a bill just bvn and passport.

It's also great for taxation, won't say more about this

Nigeria/US investors,
I saw this on businessday few days ago.
Should we be alarmed by this opinion/news?

@jajeri3216, how has your experience with passfolio been like?
Does the app it still hang ie, does it operate smoothly?

Your minimum amount depends on the stock(s) you want to buy.
SENS, for instance, goes @0.95 dollars per share, while AMZN goes @3,283 dollars per share.

There's no fixed/pre-determined minimum amount for starting.

It all depends on what you want to buy, and how much you want to put in.

You can buy stock as low as $1 but each platforms have different minimum amount to deposit. I'm using Bamboo, their minimum amount to deposit is $20

Good day guys.
I'm trying to activate my T212 account.
There's a difference in the address I provided on T212 and my bank account. Reason being houses were renumbered.

I figure even if I get a signed and stamped bank statement, it will likely be rejected.

Will it be possible to mail T212 for a change of address?

Does bamboo have a phone contact or telegram group?

ThePropertyGuy:
Fund management? I doubt you know what it means. I weep. Financial literacy is something to be taken very seriously.

Everybody and their grandmas now think they manage other peoples money. Z[b]ero antecedent, zero prospectus, zero credentials,[/b] zero regulation.

sulaimon22:


Yes they have a telegram group
