Methodology

Our method

Last check 12.10.2026 · next 11.11.2026
  1. 01Install from the official sourceEach app is taken from the broker's own site or store listing, and the platforms it actually ships on are recorded.
  2. 02Look the licence up in the registerThe regulator and number come from that regulator's public register. A licence we cannot find there is published as “no licence found”.
  3. 03Record the four factsMinimum deposit, minimum trade, maximum payout and the regulator, each with the date it was checked.
  4. 04Publish the order we were paid for, plainlyFirst place is paid for and labelled Sponsored. Places two to ten are in the order of our own ranking, and every figure behind it is on the card, so you can disagree with the order without having to take our word for the numbers.

The Capital Markets Authority licenses online forex brokers and money managers in Kenya. It does not license fixed-time (binary) trading, and none of the apps here holds a local licence. Each card shows the regulator we could find in a register, with the date we checked it.
