Nigerian investment platform Risevest has reached a major milestone by securing a U.S. broker-dealer license through its affiliate, Risevest Financial Securities Limited. This achievement positions Risevest as only the second Nigerian financial organization, after Bamboo, to obtain such a license—marking a significant step in its mission to democratize global investing.
Expanding Investment Opportunities
In an email to customers on Friday, Risevest described this development as a game-changer, allowing it to provide seamless access to wealth-generating assets worldwide. With this license, both individual and institutional investors can now trade freely in U.S. and global markets, removing previous barriers to international investing.
This expansion enables investors to diversify their portfolios across multiple regions under the Risevest ecosystem, creating broader opportunities for wealth creation and financial growth.
Risevest’s Commitment to Financial Inclusion
Founded in 2019 by Eke Urum, Risevest operates as an e-investment platform registered under Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). The platform allows users to invest in:
- U.S. Stocks
- Real Estate

Through this milestone, Risevest continues to strengthen its position as a key player in the fintech space, providing Nigerian investors with unrestricted access to global markets and expanding financial inclusion on an international scale.
