Forex license in Bahrain: CBB Category 1 investment-firm licence.
A forex license in Bahrain is a Category 1 investment firm licence from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), the only category allowed to deal as principal. It takes BD 1,000,000 of paid-in capital and at least one controller that is a financial institution in a regulated jurisdiction (AU-2.3.2). By law the CBB decides within 60 calendar days of a complete application. We run the file from Manama.

Bahrain in brief
Forex license in Bahrain: a central-bank licence that needs a regulated controller.
Forex and CFD brokerage in Bahrain is licensed by the CBB under the Central Bank of Bahrain and Financial Institutions Law 2006 (CBB Law 2006), promulgated by Decree No. (64) of 2006. Art. 40(a) of the CBB Law bars any Regulated Service in the Kingdom without a CBB licence, and the working rules are in CBB Rulebook Volume 4 (Investment Business). Volume 4 has no forex or CFD category. Contracts for differences on any currency, index or interest rate count among its financial instruments (AU-1.5.10), and dealing as principal catches a market maker or a firm dealing on its own account through a system open to third parties (AU-1.4.12). Of the four categories in AU-1.1.6, only Category 1 may do that. Its minimum capital is BD 1,000,000 (CA-1.2.7), paid into a retail bank licensed in Bahrain and kept free from any pledge (CA-1.1.4), or more where the risk-based requirement is higher (CA-1.2.2).
The awkward rule is AU-2.3.2. In Categories 1 and 2, at least one controller must be a reputable financial institution of financial soundness, operating within a regulated jurisdiction, so a company owned only by its founders cannot hold the market-maker licence. The company itself is a Bahraini joint stock company (BSC) or a Bahrain branch of a foreign firm (AU-2.1.1). Once the application is complete, the CBB Law gives the CBB 60 calendar days to decide (Arts. 44-47); the CBB's guide puts the whole process at 3-6 months on average. Volume 4 does not ban retail FX or CFDs and sets no leverage cap. The CBB may attach conditions to each licence (AU-2.8.6, AU-2.8.8), and a retail position must be closed once a margin call has gone unmet for five business days, unless payment instructions are confirmed or the delay is beyond the client's control (BC-2.7.21). No investor compensation scheme covers investment firms yet.
A CBB Category 1 investment firm licence, the only category that may deal as principal: BD 1,000,000 of capital paid in at a Bahraini bank, a BSC and a regulated financial institution among the controllers.
BD 100 to apply, BD 6,000-24,000 a year. No leverage cap in Volume 4; positions close after a margin call unmet for five business days. No income tax on a stand-alone broker's 2026 profits.
The two categories
Category 1 for principal dealing at BD 1,000,000, Category 2 for agency at BD 250,000.
A CBB licence names the category and the services a firm may provide, and the CBB may add restrictions to it (AU-2.8.6-2.8.8). Category 3, at BD 25,000, only arranges and advises and may hold no client assets, so a broker chooses between the two categories below.
Category 1 deals as principal at BD 1,000,000; Category 2 works as agent at BD 250,000.
01 - CATEGORY 1 · PRINCIPAL
The market-making firm
A CFD or FX market maker in Bahrain needs Category 1: under AU-1.4.13 such a firm makes markets with its own resources and may control client assets. Minimum capital is BD 1,000,000, and the margin facilities it extends to clients are paid for out of the firm's capital, not out of clients' assets (AU-1.4.16).

- ✓Dealing in financial instruments as principal
- ✓BD 1,000,000 minimum capital
- ✓Risk-based capital where higher
- ✓Margin credit from own capital
- ✓Annual fee BD 6,000-24,000
- ✓BSC or Bahrain branch, regulated controller
02 - CATEGORY 2 · AGENCY
BD 250,000 capitalThe agency broker
A Category 2 firm may provide every regulated investment service except dealing as principal (AU-1.1.15), so it executes client orders as agent and may hold client assets (AU-1.1.16A). Minimum capital is BD 250,000, or BD 1,000,000 where it also safeguards financial instruments as custodian, and the controller rule of AU-2.3.2 binds it too.
Every service except dealing as principal. BD 250,000, or BD 1,000,000 with custody; BD 4,000-12,000 a year.
- ✓Dealing as agent and arranging deals
- ✓Client assets in separate accounts
- ✓BD 250,000 minimum capital
- ✓BD 1,000,000 with custody
- ✓Annual fee BD 4,000-12,000
- ✓Professional indemnity cover (GR-9)
Costs and timelines are confirmed for your case before any work begins. The CBB's BD 100 application fee is non-refundable, the capital is itemised as a deposit at a Bahraini retail bank, and a Category 2 firm places its professional indemnity policy or escrow deposit within 6 months of the licence.
Why Bahrain
A central-bank regulator, a 60-day clock in statute and no tax on a stand-alone broker's 2026 profits.
Bahrain puts brokers under its central bank, prices the annual licence on costs rather than revenue and, in 2026, leaves a stand-alone broker's profits untaxed.
✓
A central bank as regulator
The CBB, successor to the Bahrain Monetary Agency, licenses banks, insurers, investment firms and capital market licensees under its Rulebook, Volumes 1-7 and a Common Volume. It counted 49 investment business firms in December 2022, and a bank licensed under Volume 1 or 2 needs no separate investment firm licence (AU-1.1.4, AU-1.1.5).The CBB licenses the whole sector.
✓
A clock written into the law
Arts. 44-47 of the CBB Law set a single-stage process and a decision within 60 calendar days of a complete application. Under its guide the CBB has 30 calendar days from receipt to ask for more information, and a refusal leaves at least 30 days to appeal (AU-5.1.12J, Art. 46).Set by Arts. 44-47 of the CBB Law.
✓
Fees set by formula
The CBB's application fee is BD 100 (AU-6.1.1). The annual fee is 0.25% of relevant operating expenses, with a floor of BD 6,000 and a cap of BD 24,000 for Category 1, and BD 4,000-12,000 for Category 2 (AU-6.2.3-6.2.5).0.25% of costs, BD 6,000-24,000.
✓
No tax on a stand-alone broker's 2026 profits
Bahrain's Income Tax Law of 1979 taxes only oil companies, so a stand-alone FX or CFD broker owes no corporate income tax on its 2026 profits.For a stand-alone broker in 2026.
✓
The licence is also the right to market
Nobody may market financial services in Bahrain without a CBB licence, an exemption by Directive or the CBB's express written permission (AU-1.1.1(c)), with penalties under Arts. 129 and 161 of the CBB Law.Unlicensed marketing needs CBB permission.
✓
Warning: no crypto dealing as principal
Since January 2024 investment firms must not deal in crypto-assets as principal (AU-1.1.22D). If crypto CFDs are on the product list, we put that question to the CBB before the file goes in.No crypto dealing as principal.
How it compares
How Bahrain differs from other routes.
A market maker needs BD 1,000,000 of capital in Bahrain, US$2 million for DFSA Category 2 in Dubai and €750,000 for a CySEC investment firm dealing on own account. Mauritius licenses a full-service dealer on MUR 1,000,000, and we plan 4-8 months there against 6-9 months for Bahrain. In Bahrain the controller rule of AU-2.3.2 comes on top of the capital.

Good to know
Taxation of forex brokers in Bahrain.
Bahrain taxes the profits of oil companies and of very large groups, and a stand-alone broker is neither; the open question is the profits tax announced for 2027.
No corporate income tax for a broker
The Bahrain Income Tax Law, Amiri Decree No. 22/1979, taxes at 46% only companies exploring for, producing or refining crude oil and other hydrocarbons in Bahrain (Art. 2). An FX or CFD broker falls outside it.Oil companies only, 1979 law.
15% top-up for large groups
Decree-Law No. (11) of 2024 has applied a domestic minimum top-up tax since 1 January 2025 to multinational groups with global revenue of EUR 750 million or more, so that their Bahrain profits bear at least 15%.Groups with EUR 750m revenue.
A profits tax announced for 2027
The National Bureau for Revenue announced a draft profits tax for 2027; we check its status before modelling. Business plans that run past 2026 carry it as an open line in the meantime.Status checked before modelling.
The CBB fee is charged on costs
The annual licence fee is 0.25% of relevant operating expenses in the latest audited accounts, after training costs, charitable donations, CBB fees and non-executive directors' pay are deducted (AU-6.2.6, AU-6.2.7). For Category 1 the floor is BD 6,000 and the cap BD 24,000.0.25% of operating expenses.
Fee dates
Each year's fee falls due on 1 December of the year before (AU-6.2.1), Form ALF goes in by 15 October (AU-6.2.10), and nothing is refunded if the licence is cancelled (AU-6.2.13). The first year's fee is payable when the licence is issued; AU-6.2.11 sets it at the floor amount, and the CBB's licensing guide pro-rates that floor for the rest of the year, which we confirm with the CBB.Due 1 December, no refunds.
Accounts kept in the Kingdom
Books must be available for inspection within the Kingdom of Bahrain and follow IAS (AU-2.8.1), and the CBB approves the external auditor in advance (AU-2.7.1).IAS books in Bahrain, approved auditor.

What brokers ask before applying to the CBB.
What licence does a forex broker need in Bahrain?+
A CBB Category 1 investment firm licence, if the broker makes markets: it is the only category that may deal in financial instruments as principal. Bahrain has no separate forex or CFD licence, and a broker that only executes client orders as agent can hold Category 2 at BD 250,000.
Can founders own a Bahraini market maker on their own?+
No. Under AU-2.3.2 at least one controller of a Category 1 or Category 2 firm must be a reputable, financially sound financial institution operating within a regulated jurisdiction. Founders without such an institution among their shareholders cannot hold the market-maker licence; a regulated firm already in the group can be that controller if the CBB accepts it.
How long does a forex license in Bahrain take?+
The CBB must decide within 60 calendar days of a complete application (Arts. 44-47 of the CBB Law), and its guide puts the whole process at 3-6 months on average. The pre-application meeting, the draft Form 1 and the capital deposit come first, so we plan for 6-9 months.
What does a forex license in Bahrain cost?+
The CBB charges BD 100 to apply and, each year, 0.25% of relevant operating expenses, with a floor of BD 6,000 and a cap of BD 24,000 for Category 1. Minimum capital is BD 1,000,000, paid in at a Bahraini retail bank. Our fees, staff and premises costs are confirmed in the quote.
Does Bahrain cap leverage for retail clients?+
Not in CBB Rulebook Volume 4, which sets no leverage cap and no negative balance protection rule. What applies instead: conditions the CBB may write into each licence (AU-2.8.6, AU-2.8.8), written warnings on leverage, liquidity and price volatility (BC-2.6.6), and a duty to close a retail position once a margin call has gone unmet for five business days, unless payment instructions are confirmed or the delay is beyond the client's control (BC-2.7.21).
Do forex brokers pay corporate tax in Bahrain?+
Not on 2026 profits, for a stand-alone broker: the Income Tax Law of 1979 reaches only oil companies. The National Bureau for Revenue has also announced a draft profits tax for 2027, and we confirm where it stands before a business plan models the years after 2026.
Can an introducing broker use a Category 3 licence?+
Not if a dealer pays it. A Category 3 firm may take fees or commissions only from its own client (AU-1.1.18), and an introducer paid by anyone else, without accounting for it to the client, loses the introducing exclusion (AU-1.4.22). We therefore plan a rebate-paid introducing broker as a Category 1 or 2 firm.
Does a CBB licence reach clients outside Bahrain?+
Only as far as each other country's rules allow. The licence covers services within or from the Kingdom of Bahrain (AU-1.1.1) and carries no passport; the GCC Funds Passporting Regime covers funds, not brokers. Each target market is checked against its own licensing rules before clients there are taken on.
Bahrain or Dubai for a Gulf market maker?+
Dubai, if English common law and the DIFC's own courts weigh most with your banks and counterparties: DFSA Category 2 asks US$2 million of base capital, with 9% corporate tax and 0% on qualifying income. Bahrain asks BD 1,000,000 and a regulated financial institution among the controllers, and leaves a stand-alone broker's 2026 profits untaxed.
Why Prifinance for Bahrain?+
We plan the BSC, its regulated controller and the CBB file as one programme, and take the board and senior managers through the Module FP review. The work runs from our Manama office.
What licence?+
CBB Category 1 investment firm.
Owners?+
A regulated institution among the controllers.
How long?+
60 days by law; 6-9 months planned.
Cost?+
BD 100 fee; BD 6,000-24,000 a year.
Leverage cap?+
None in Volume 4; 5-day close-out.
Corporate tax?+
None for a stand-alone broker; 2027 draft.
Category 3 IB?+
Not if a dealer pays rebates.
Other markets?+
No passport; services within or from Bahrain.
Or Dubai?+
Dubai for common law; Bahrain for tax.
Why you?+
