13 November 2020 – Exinity Group today announced that it has obtained a license from Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to operate as a regulated non-dealing forex broker. The Group joins just three other brokers who are regulated to offer trading services including forex to retail clients in Kenya.
This new license is the latest addition to Exinity Group’s regulatory portfolio in the Africa region, joining licenses from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority of South Africa and the Financial Services Commission of the Republic of Mauritius.
Commenting on receiving the CMA license, Olga Rybalkina, CEO of Exinity Group said:
"Kenya is one of the most exciting emerging markets in Africa, where enthusiasm for trading and investing is at an all-time high. It is renowned for being one of the fastest-growing economies with an innovative regulator such as the CMA. Acquiring the coveted license fills us with confidence and great anticipation for our future in this dynamic region".
"In the coming months we will be launching innovative risk-based trading and investing solutions designed to help ambitious individuals capture opportunity in the financial markets".
