How to Deposit on Exness With GTBank (NGN): Step-by-Step
- 1
Log in and open the Deposit page in your Personal Area
Sign in to your Exness account on the website or the Exness Trader app, then go to the Deposit section of your Personal Area. This is where all Nigeria-facing funding rails are listed. If you have not verified your identity yet, complete verification first, because unverified accounts are usually limited in what they can fund.
- 2
Select an NGN funding method that supports GTBank
On the deposit screen, filter by NGN and look for the bank transfer or local Nigerian payment options. GTBank is used either through a direct Nigerian bank transfer or via a local payment provider that accepts GTBank cards and internet banking. Choose the method that shows GTBank or Nigerian banks as an accepted source rather than an international card rail.

Enter your deposit amount in NGN and confirm the account to fund
Type in the amount you want to deposit and check that the trading account number shown is the correct one you intend to fund. Exness displays the NGN figure and any conversion that applies before you commit, so review those details on screen instead of assuming the final credited amount.

Authorise the payment from your GTBank account
You will be redirected to complete the payment. Depending on the method, this means paying from your GTBank internet banking, GTBank mobile app, or entering GTBank card details on the provider's secure page. Approve any OTP or transaction confirmation GTBank sends to your registered phone or email to finish the transfer.
- 5
Return to Exness and confirm the balance has landed
After paying, return to your Personal Area and check the transaction history. Many GTBank deposits reflect quickly, but processing times vary and are worth confirming in your account dashboard rather than assuming an exact minute count. If the funds do not appear after a reasonable wait, keep your GTBank debit reference and contact Exness support with it.
Regulatory Notice — Nigeria
Nigeria's forex/CFD regulatory stance has shifted between the SEC and the CBN over time. Exness and XM serve Nigerian clients through their international entities rather than a Nigeria-specific license.
Check the SEC Nigeria and CBN for their current public guidance, since this position can change, and confirm directly with the broker which legal entity your account agreement is actually with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exness
Why can I not see GTBank as a deposit option on Exness?
Available methods on Exness depend on your registered country, your account currency, and your verification status. If you signed up under a non-Nigerian setting or your account currency is not NGN, Nigerian bank rails including GTBank may not display. Confirm your profile country is Nigeria, complete verification, and check whether switching or opening an NGN-denominated account exposes the local bank options.
Is it legal to deposit on Exness with GTBank in Nigeria?
Forex and CFD regulation in Nigeria has moved between the SEC and the Central Bank of Nigeria over the years, and there is no local Exness licence, so Nigerian traders deal with Exness through its international entity rather than a domestic one. Using your own GTBank account to move NGN into a trading account is common practice, but you are responsible for your own tax and any bank-side foreign-transaction rules, so it is worth confirming current requirements before funding.
Will there be a currency conversion when I deposit from GTBank?
If your Exness account currency differs from NGN, a conversion applies when your GTBank funds land. Exness shows the amount and any conversion detail on the deposit screen before you confirm, so review that figure rather than assuming a fixed rate. To reduce conversion steps, some Nigerian traders open an NGN-based account so GTBank deposits stay in naira.
What should I do if my GTBank deposit does not reflect?
First check the transaction history in your Personal Area, since some methods post faster than others. If money left your GTBank account but has not appeared on Exness after a reasonable wait, gather your GTBank debit alert, reference number, and the exact amount and time, then contact Exness support with those details so they can trace the specific transaction.
