From download to your first funded trade, onboarding is built to be fast, even without a Nigerian BVN or NIN.
Built on trust, not ads
Xodos comes to you through the communities you already trust.
The market, in your pocket.
You've always wanted in. The door was never open.
Millions in the diaspora want to invest back home. But local brokers ask for ID you don't have. Moving money across borders is slow and opaque. And no single platform has ever packaged it all into something you can actually trust.

Real ownership, in real custody
When you buy a share on Xodos, you own that share. It sits in regulated custody under your name, not as a number on a screen that disappears when the app does.
Onboarding built for the diaspora
Most platforms assume you never left. Xodos is built for people who did. Whether you carry Nigerian ID or only a passport, there's a compliant way in.
Clarity on every number
See the exact FX rate applied, every fee, and your true position, before you commit. No surprises after the fact.
Everything
you're wondering,
answered.
Real shares. When you invest through Xodos, you own actual equities listed on the Nigerian Exchange, held in regulated custody under your name. It's genuine ownership — not a synthetic product, not exposure, not a bet that tracks a price.
No. If you hold Nigerian ID we'll use it, but a passport and proof of address are enough. Onboarding was designed for people who left, not for people who never did.
Xodos is available across the UK, the EU, the US and Canada today, with more diaspora markets opening as licensing clears.
Add money in your local currency by bank transfer or card. You'll see the exact FX rate and every fee before you confirm the conversion.
About two minutes from download to your first funded trade, assuming your identity check clears on the first pass.
Yes. Xodos operates through licensed partners, and every share you buy sits in regulated custody under your own name.
Samuel Akpenyi — CEO
"I spent years watching diaspora money sit in savings accounts earning nothing, while the companies back home that could've used that capital went looking for it abroad. That's not a gap in ambition. It's a gap in access. Xodos exists to close the distance between where the money is and where it belongs."
Trust doesn't come from an ad. It comes from your community.
Xodos launches through the people you already rely on, community leaders, savings groups, and networks that have anchored diaspora life for generations. If someone you trust brought you here, that's by design.
