54 markets. One door

Africa's listed companies at your fingertips. The real economy back home, tradable from abroad.

Your capital.
Your continent.

2 mins

From download to your first funded trade. Onboarding is built for the diaspora too, no local ID required.

1 flat rate

One transparent commission on every trade.

The market, in your pocket.

You've always wanted in. The door was never open.

Millions across the diaspora want to invest back home — in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg. 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 Africa's markets into something you can actually trust. Until now.

Verify from anywhere

Inside Nigeria or across the world, confirm your identity with the government ID you already carry. No local credential required, no location locking you out.

Fund in minutes

Top up with your debit card, bank transfer, or crypto — then start trading. No narrow channels, no waiting on a system that wasn't built for you.

Own or trade

Buy real shares to hold for the long run, or go long and short to trade the market as it moves. Two strategies, one platform.

Real ownership, in real custody

When you buy a share on XODOS, you own that share. It sits with a regulated custodian in your name — not as a number on a screen that disappears if an app does.

Onboarding built for the diaspora

Most platforms assume you never left. XODOS is built for people who did. Whether you carry home-country ID or only a passport, there's a compliant way in.

Clarity on every number

The exact FX rate. Every fee. Your true position. All shown before you commit — never discovered after. One account, one experience, and growing access to Africa's exchanges.

The people behind the product

Meet our teamThe people opening the markets.

A team of capital markets operators, engineers, and builders who got tired of watching African markets stay closed to the people who wanted in. So we're opening them.

Everything you're wondering, answered.

Real shares. When you invest through Xodos, you own actual equities listed on Africa's stock exchanges, held in regulated custody under your name. Genuine ownership, not a synthetic product or a bet that tracks a price.

No. If you hold ID from your home country 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.

We launch with the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) — one of Africa's largest, home to 150+ listed companies. Additional African markets will open as licensing and partnerships clear.

Xodos is available to investors in the UK, US, and Canada today, with more diaspora markets opening as licensing clears.

Fund in GBP, USD or CAD by bank transfer or debit card, converted via Flutterwave with the rate and fees shown upfront.

Yes. Xodos operates through licensed brokers and custodians in each market where we offer trading, 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."
