Account Registration Process in Kenya

Registering an account is straightforward for Kenyan clients via our website. Select Kenya as your country, then provide an email address and create a secure password containing uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Personal details must match official documents for verification purposes.

Personal Information Requirements

Complete your full name as on your Kenyan national ID or passport. Include your birth date, phone number with the +254 country code, and residential address with street name and postal code. Phone verification is done by receiving a 6-digit SMS code from Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom Kenya numbers.

Financial Profile Assessment

Provide employment status, income in Kenyan Shillings, education level, and trading experience. This helps us tailor leverage settings and educational content to your needs. Select your risk tolerance and anticipated initial deposit for a customized trading environment.

Document Verification and Account Activation

Verification is mandatory for compliance and security. Upload a clear color image of your Kenyan national ID, passport, or driver’s license issued within the past decade. Use our mobile app for liveness verification by scanning a provided QR code.

Proof of residence documents must be dated within six months, such as utility bills or bank statements showing your name and address in Kenya. These documents should be in English or Swahili. Verification results are provided via email within 24 hours on weekdays.

Account Currency Selection

Choose your base currency from USD, EUR, GBP, or KES. We recommend USD accounts for tighter spreads and global trading. KES accounts avoid conversion fees on local deposits and withdrawals but may have wider spreads.
