Step-by-Step Registration Process for Nigerians
Creating Exness Personal Area
To begin, visit www.exness-trade.pro and click “Sign Up.” Enter your email and phone number to create your Personal Area.
- Go to the Exness website and select “Sign Up.”
- Fill in your email, phone number, and create a password.
- Agree to the terms and submit your details.
This Personal Area is your hub for managing accounts, deposits, and trades. Use a strong password for security. Complete the process in under five minutes. Double-check your email for accuracy to receive verification details.
Email & Phone Verification
Exness requires email and phone verification to secure your account and comply with regulations. After signing up, you’ll receive a confirmation link in your email; click it to verify. Next, enter the code sent to your Nigerian phone number (+234). This step prevents fraud and ensures your account is linked to you. Complete verification quickly to avoid delays in trading or withdrawals. Keep your phone and email accessible during the process.

Setting Up Trading Passwords
A trading password secures your trading platform (e.g., MT4 or MT5) and is separate from your Personal Area password. Set it by logging into your Personal Area, selecting a trading account, and choosing a strong password (8-15 characters, including letters and numbers). This password protects your trades from unauthorized access. Never share it, and change it regularly for safety. If you forget it, reset it via the Personal Area. Use a unique password different from your email or banking passwords.
Account Verification for Nigerian Traders
Verifying your Exness account is mandatory to trade or withdraw funds. Submit documents to confirm your identity and address.
Required Documents for Nigerian Residents

You need a valid ID and proof of address for verification. Follow these steps:
- Log into your Exness Personal Area.
- Upload a clear photo of your ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license, or voter’s card).
- Submit a utility bill or bank statement (not older than 6 months) showing your name and address.
- Wait for approval, typically within 24 hours.
Ensure documents are clear and valid to avoid rejection. Keep digital copies ready for quick uploads. Contact support if you face issues.
KYC Verification Timeline
Exness’s Know Your Customer (KYC) process usually takes 24 hours but may extend to 48 hours during high demand. After uploading your ID and proof of address, Exness reviews them for compliance with global regulations. You’ll receive an email once approved. To speed up the process, ensure documents are clear and match your registration details. If delayed, check your email for updates or contact support via live chat.
First Trading Account Setup
After verification, set up your first trading account in your Personal Area. Choose between demo or real accounts based on your experience.

Naira (NGN) Trading Accounts
Exness supports Naira (NGN) trading accounts, allowing Nigerians to deposit, trade, and withdraw in their local currency. This eliminates currency conversion fees, making trading more cost-effective. Fund your account via bank transfers, cards, or Paystack, with a minimum deposit of ₦5,000. Check supported banks on Exness’s website to ensure smooth transactions. Always verify your account to enable NGN deposits.
Demo vs. Real Account Options
Demo accounts let you practice trading with virtual funds, while real accounts use actual money for live trading. Demo accounts are risk-free, ideal for beginners, while real accounts suit experienced traders.
Feature | Demo Account | Real Account |
Funds | Virtual | Real money |
Risk | None | Financial loss possible |
Best For | Practice and learning | Actual trading |
Start with a demo to build confidence. Switch to a real account when ready, starting with small trades.
