Tickmill deposit in Nigeria: naira methods, minimum and time (2026)

Every line is Tickmill's own wording from the page linked on it, read on 23 Oct 2026. "Not published" means we did not find it on Tickmill's public pages; we do not fill gaps with guesses.

tickmill.com is "owned and operated within the Tickmill Group of companies", which includes Tickmill Ltd in Seychelles (FSA Seychelles, SD008). Tickmill does not say on that page which company opens a Nigerian account. The countries Tickmill names as not served are the US and Japan.

The SEC Nigeria says the Investments and Securities Act 2025 makes it an offence for an unregistered entity to run online forex trading platforms or related services. Check that the company named in your Tickmill account documents is the one on its regulator's register before you deposit.

1. Register on Tickmill's website or app with your Nigerian details. Verify your identity and address in Tickmill's sign-up flow first; regulated brokers must do this before paying out, and it avoids delays on your first withdrawal.
2. Choose your account and its currency (Tickmill lists EUR, GBP, ZAR and USD only (no NGN)). Funding in the account's own currency avoids a conversion by your bank.
3. Open Deposit in your account area. Tickmill does not publish a Nigeria-only method list on the pages we read; its general list: Tickmill lists bank wire, Visa/Mastercard, crypto payments, Skrill, Neteller and UnionPay, and notes: "Some options are only available to residents of certain countries."
4. Enter the amount (minimum: 100 USD for all account types (Tickmill's words: "minimum 100 USD for all account types"); minimum withdrawal 25) and confirm on your bank or payment app.
5. Pay only from an account in your own name; brokers refuse third-party payments.

Tickmill lists no commission on deposits or withdrawals and says: "We cover the bank fees on your deposits above $5,000". Tickmill processes deposits and withdrawals "Within 1 Working Day"; bank wire "Estimated Deposit Arrival Time 2-7 Working Days"; other methods are listed from instant to "Up to 8 Working Days" for withdrawals. Your bank may charge its own transfer or card fees, and an exchange rate applies whenever the payment and the account are in different currencies.

Most brokers send a withdrawal back to the method you deposited with first, and only to an account in your own name. Times reported by verified Tickmill traders appear on the Tickmill review once enough have reported. Traded with Tickmill from Nigeria? Write a review.
