Is FP Markets legal in Nigeria?

Forex trading is legal and very popular in Nigeria, though most global brokers are not locally licensed. The SEC has issued guidance on online/derivatives trading — read it and understand you're largely relying on offshore protection.

FP Markets does not hold a SEC Nigeria / Central Bank of Nigeria licence specifically for Nigeria in our records, so Nigerian clients are typically served through FP Markets's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Nigeria protection — check which entity you're signing up with.

Before you trade from Nigeria

Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with SEC Nigeria / Central Bank of Nigeria and verify which FP Markets entity serves Nigeria. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
