Kenya in brief
Forex license in Kenya: three CMA licences under the 2017 online FX rules.
Kenya licenses online FX brokers under rules written for them. The Capital Markets Act, Cap. 485A, bars anyone from carrying on business as an online forex broker, or holding out as one, without a CMA licence (s. 23(1)). The Capital Markets (Online Foreign Exchange Trading) Regulations, 2017 (Legal Notice 226 of 2017), in force since 1 September 2017, then set out three licences. A dealing online foreign exchange broker trades as principal and market maker on KES 50 million of paid-up capital. A non-dealing broker links clients to the market for a commission or a mark-up in spreads, with KES 30 million. A money manager runs clients' online FX portfolios for a fee based on assets under management, needs KES 10 million and never receives client money. The regulations cover internet-based trading of foreign exchange and CFDs on a foreign underlying asset (reg. 2), and brokers keep liquid capital of KES 30 million or 8% of total liabilities, whichever is higher, at all times.
The awkward rules are structural. The applicant must be a company incorporated in Kenya and limited by shares (reg. 5(1)(a)), so a foreign group builds a subsidiary: there is no branch route and no passport. Under the governance rules for market intermediaries (Legal Notice 144 of 2011, reg. 15(5)), a shareholder with more than 25% may not be an executive director or hold a senior management post unless the CMA grants an exemption. Since 6 October 2023, Legal Notice 160 of 2023 has added an annual fee of 3% of gross trading revenue, commissions and rebates from third-party related service providers included (reg. 25A). Leverage stops at 400 times the client's deposit (reg. 19). Pairs with the Kenya shilling and binary options are banned outright (reg. 16(4)). On 23 October 2026 the CMA register listed 14 non-dealing brokers, 2 dealing brokers and 3 money managers.
The CMA licenses online FX brokers under Legal Notice 226 of 2017: KES 50 million to make markets, KES 30 million without dealing, KES 10 million for a money manager. Applicants must be Kenyan companies.
Leverage up to 400:1, no KES pairs or binary options, and 3% of gross trading revenue to the CMA since October 2023. On 23 October 2026: 14 non-dealing brokers, 2 dealing, 3 money managers.
The two routes
A market maker at KES 50 million, or the agency broker most licensees run.
The CMA grants both broker licences under the same regulations, and reg. 16(2) draws the line between them: only a dealing broker may trade as principal and market maker. We settle that choice first, because it fixes the capital and decides whether the file needs a certified head of trading.
Market maker at KES 50 million, or agency broker at KES 30 million.
01 - DEALING ONLINE FX BROKER
The dealing broker: principal and market maker
A Kenyan dealing online foreign exchange broker takes the other side of client trades as principal and market maker (reg. 16(2)). It holds KES 50 million of paid-up capital that may not be impaired, keeps liquid capital of KES 30 million or 8% of total liabilities, whichever is higher, and puts trading under a person with three years' FX trading experience and certification from the Association Cambiste Internationale-Financial Markets Association (ACI-FMA).

- ✓Principal and market maker - reg. 16(2)
- ✓KES 50 million paid-up, unimpaired
- ✓Liquid capital KES 30M or 8%, if higher
- ✓Head of trading: 3 years, ACI-FMA certified
- ✓3% of gross trading revenue a year
- ✓2 dealing licences on the register, Oct 2026
02 - NON-DEALING ONLINE FX BROKER
KES 30 millionThe non-dealing broker most Kenyan licensees hold
A non-dealing broker links clients to the FX market for a commission or a mark-up in spreads and does no market making (reg. 2). It needs KES 30 million of paid-up capital, the same liquid capital floor as a dealer and the same 3% revenue fee. Fourteen of the sixteen brokers on the CMA register on 23 October 2026 held this licence.
No market making, paid by commission or spread mark-up; KES 30 million paid-up; held by 14 of 16 brokers on 23 October 2026.
- ✓Agency / STP - no market making
- ✓KES 30 million paid-up, unimpaired
- ✓Same liquid capital floor as a dealer
- ✓Recognised platform's admission letter
- ✓3% revenue fee - reg. 25A
- ✓14 on the register, 23 October 2026
Costs and timelines are confirmed for your case before any work begins. We confirm the application and fixed annual fees of the Second Schedule in the quote, next to the 3% revenue fee. The third CMA licence, the money manager, needs KES 10 million and a written agreement with a licensed broker, and may not receive client money.
Why Kenya
A rulebook written for online FX, with a hearing before any refusal.
Kenya gives online FX brokers regulations of their own, and the CMA keeps a public register of every licensee under them.
✓
Rules written for online FX
Legal Notice 226 of 2017 covers internet-based trading of foreign exchange and CFDs on a foreign underlying asset (reg. 2). The three licences, their capital floors, the leverage cap and the client-money rules sit in that one text, amended by Legal Notice 160 of 2023.One regulation for FX and CFDs.
✓
Leverage up to 400:1
Reg. 19 lets a broker offer leverage of up to 400 times the client's deposit on currency pairs and other underlying assets. The CMA may revise that ratio by circular to stabilise volatility in global and local currencies or to protect investors.The CMA may revise it by circular.
✓
No refusal without a hearing
The CMA may not refuse a licence without hearing the applicant (s. 24(5) of the Act). A refusal goes out in writing within fourteen days of the decision, and the applicant then has fifteen days to appeal to the Capital Markets Tribunal (reg. 7).No refusal without one; Tribunal appeal.
✓
Valid until revoked
A CMA licence remains valid unless suspended or revoked (s. 24(7); reg. 8). The catch is use: a licence left unused for a year after grant, or a business stopped for more than thirty days without CMA approval, may be suspended (reg. 10(m)).Valid until suspended or revoked.
✓
Client money ring-fenced
Client funds sit in a segregated account at a bank licensed under the Banking Act (Cap. 488), are reconciled daily and may never be used for margining, hedging or as company assets, insolvency included (regs. 16(5)(i), 23). No cash changes hands with clients.Kenyan bank, segregated, reconciled daily.
✓
Warning: 3% of revenue to the CMA
Since 6 October 2023 every broker, dealing or not, pays the CMA an annual fee of 3% of gross trading revenue, and the base includes commissions and rebates from third-party related service providers (reg. 25A). The fixed annual fee of the Second Schedule is still printed beside it.3% of gross trading revenue yearly.
How it compares
How Kenya differs from other routes.
South Africa, Mauritius and the Seychelles are the African alternatives we set a Kenyan file against. Mauritius asks MUR 1,000,000 of a full-service dealer and the Seychelles US$100,000, while South Africa splits the work into two FSCA files. Kenya asks KES 30-50 million of paid-up capital, writes a 400:1 leverage ceiling into its regulations and charges 3% of gross trading revenue.

Good to know
Taxation of forex brokers in Kenya.
A CMA-licensed broker is a Kenyan company, so it is resident for tax and pays corporate income tax at 30%.
Corporate income tax 30%
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) charges resident companies corporate income tax at 30%, and we confirm the current rate with the KRA before the model is final. Because the regulations admit only Kenyan companies, every CMA-licensed online FX broker pays at that resident rate.Resident companies, KRA.
Resident by incorporation
KRA treats a company as resident if it is incorporated under Kenyan law or managed and controlled in Kenya, so the test is met at incorporation, wherever the group's head office sits.Kenyan incorporation makes the broker resident.
Instalments in four months
Instalment tax falls due on the 20th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months of the accounting period. The balance is paid by the last day of the fourth month after the year-end.4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months.
Audited return within six months
The company files its return, with audited accounts, within six months after the end of its accounting period.Audited, within six months.
Dividends 10% or 15%
Qualifying dividends carry withholding tax of 10% for residents and 15% for non-residents. For a non-resident parent with no permanent establishment in Kenya the 15% is final; treaty rates are confirmed per structure.10% residents, 15% non-residents.
Top-up tax from €750 million
Under s. 12G of the Income Tax Act, a member of a multinational group with consolidated annual turnover of €750 million or more pays top-up tax where its combined effective tax rate for the year is below 15%, due by the end of the fourth month after the year-end.Groups from €750 million, s. 12G.

Founders' questions on the CMA, capital and the 3% fee.
Which CMA licence does a forex broker need in Kenya?+
One of three under Legal Notice 226 of 2017: a dealing online FX broker trading as principal and market maker, a non-dealing broker that links clients to the market for a commission or spread mark-up, or a money manager. Running such a business without the matching licence is an offence (reg. 3(2)).
Can a foreign broker serve Kenya through a branch?+
No. The applicant must be a company incorporated in Kenya and limited by shares (reg. 5(1)(a)), so a foreign group sets up a Kenyan subsidiary. A foreign licence carries no passport, and s. 23(1) of the Capital Markets Act also reaches anyone who holds out as an online forex broker in Kenya.
How long does a forex license in Kenya take?+
The Capital Markets Act sets the CMA no decision deadline, and during review the CMA may ask for more information or call key personnel to appear in person. We plan for 9-12 months from incorporation to the licence; a licence then left unused for a year may be suspended.
What does a forex license in Kenya cost?+
Paid-up capital is KES 50 million for a dealing broker or KES 30 million for a non-dealing one, with liquid capital of KES 30 million or 8% of liabilities if higher. Brokers then pay the CMA 3% of gross trading revenue a year; the application and fixed annual fees of the Second Schedule, and our fees, are confirmed in the quote.
What leverage can a Kenyan broker offer?+
Up to 400 times the client's deposit (reg. 19(1)). The CMA may revise that ratio by circular, so we confirm the current figure with the CMA before launch. Pairs with the Kenya shilling and binary options may not be offered at all (reg. 16(4)).
Can a majority shareholder run the broker?+
Not as an executive without the CMA's consent. LN 144 of 2011 bars a shareholder with more than 25% from being an executive director or holding any senior management post (reg. 15(5)), unless the CMA grants an exemption on written application (reg. 36). Any change of shareholders or directors also needs the CMA's prior written no-objection.
Are clients of a Kenyan FX broker covered by investor compensation?+
Not by the Investor Compensation Fund: s. 18 of the Capital Markets Act covers failures of licensed stockbrokers and dealers, and online forex brokers are not named in it. Protection rests on segregation instead, with client money at a Kenyan bank, reconciled daily and never used for margining or hedging.
How is a Kenyan forex broker taxed?+
At 30% corporate income tax as a resident company, paid in instalments in the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months. Dividends to a non-resident parent carry 15% withholding, final where it has no permanent establishment in Kenya, and groups with turnover of €750 million or more face the s. 12G top-up tax.
Kenya or Mauritius for an Africa-focused broker?+
Mauritius, if the book is global: its FSC Investment Dealer licence asks MUR 1,000,000 of capital, licensed dealers can reach a 3% effective tax rate, and banks across the corridor know the licence. Kenya is the licence for Kenyan clients themselves, at KES 30-50 million of capital, up to 400:1 leverage and 30% tax.
Why Prifinance for Kenya?+
We build the Kenyan company, the platform letter and the people file the CMA reads, from the chief executive's five years in FX to the CISI-accredited compliance officer, and model the 3% revenue fee into the business plan. The work runs through our Nairobi office.
Which licence?+
Dealing, non-dealing or money manager.
Branch?+
No; a Kenyan company is required.
How long?+
No statutory deadline; 9-12 months planned.
Cost?+
KES 30M-50M capital, 3% revenue fee.
Leverage?+
Up to 400:1; no KES pairs.
Owner as director?+
Above 25%, only with a CMA exemption.
Compensation?+
Not under the s. 18 Fund.
Tax?+
30% corporate; 15% dividend withholding abroad.
Or Mauritius?+
Mauritius for a global book; Kenya for Kenyans.
Why you?+
Nairobi office, the people file built first.
