Is Admirals (Admiral Markets) legal in Kenya?
The CMA licenses online forex brokers in Kenya. Some global brokers hold a CMA licence, but many do not — check the CMA's register of licensed non-dealing/dealing forex brokers.
Admirals (Admiral Markets) does not hold a Capital Markets Authority licence specifically for Kenya in our records, so Kenyan clients are typically served through Admirals (Admiral Markets)'s international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Kenya protection — check which entity you're signing up with.
