How to Buy from Nigerian Markets Using USD or GBP

1. Identify What You Want to Buy

Start with a list of:

• Product names and specifications

• Quantity and packaging preferences

• Delivery timeline and destination country

🎯 Wigmore Trading can help source the best suppliers in Lagos, Kano, Onitsha, Aba, or directly from farming cooperatives.

2. Negotiate in USD or GBP

Larger or export-ready vendors will quote in foreign currencies. Others may quote in Naira — but prices can be converted to USD or GBP using current parallel market rates.

💡 Avoid using official exchange rates unless you’re working with formal exporters or financial institutions.

3. Make Payment Securely

Options include:

• ✅ Bank wire transfers (SWIFT) in USD/GBP to Nigerian business accounts

• ✅ Payoneer or TransferWise (Wise) for smoother, lower-fee payments

• ✅ Third-party payment support via Wigmore Trading (you pay us, we pay local vendors)

📌 Be sure to verify seller identities and business legitimacy before making any transfers.
