Who actually onboards you

Entity that onboards Nigeria residents
GT Global Ltd
Local standing
Offshore (Seychelles FSA); Nigeria's SEC does not license retail forex, so trading is effectively unregulated with no local recourse.
Licence as the register states it
GT Global Ltd holds Seychelles FSA Licence No. SD019; no Nigerian SEC licence.
Leverage for this entity
Up to 1:5000 on Optimus; not capped by a Nigerian regulator.
The firm behind it
GT Group brand, launched 2019; crypto-forex hybrid broker with Seychelles/FSCA/Vanuatu/CySEC entities.
What we hold against it
Offshore only; Nigerian retail forex is unregulated, so standard offshore caveats apply; no verified SEC alert against FXGT.

Leverage by entity

The licence belongs to the firm; a leverage figure belongs to one entity. Only the entity that onboards Nigerian residents enters the score.

Methodology(6 axes · formula v1.0)

Score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of six axes scored 0–100. Range 2.0–5.0. An axis without data drops out and the remaining weights are renormalised; it is never scored zero or estimated. Group-wide figures never enter a Nigeria score. Full methodology
