Regulation

A regulated broker that accepts Kenyan traders.

LHFX is an international broker and is not CMA-licensed in Kenya. The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) licenses locally established forex brokers, and Kenyan residents may also trade with internationally regulated brokers. LHFX accepts Kenyan traders as an international broker rather than a CMA-licensed one. The trade booking sits with Longhorn Ltd, licensed by the FSC of Mauritius (GB23202204), with FSCA oversight of the South African intermediary (FSP 52816).

Forex trading in Kenya: common questions
