How Nigerian investors can access US stock markets — IBKR, Rise, and direct options compared given CBN FX restrictions.

Our recommendation for Nigeria

Nigeria's CBN foreign exchange restrictions make direct US stock investment complex. eToro accepts Nigerian users and allows US stock CFD trading in USD. For real share ownership, IBKR requires USD transfer which is difficult under current CBN restrictions. Rise (a Nigerian fintech) specialises in helping Nigerians invest in US dollar assets — worth checking as an intermediary option.
