Regulatory profile
Amana Capital is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2010 and headquartered in Cyprus.
In our database Amana Capital is matched to 3 licences from CySEC, DFSA and FSC (MU). Its strongest licences come from the CySEC and the DFSA, which we rate tier 2: credible supervision, but with fewer safeguards than the very strictest regulators.
Be aware that a single Amana Capital website can front several legal entities. Its CySEC and DFSA-regulated companies serve local residents, while international clients are frequently handled by entities supervised by FSC (MU), which offer much weaker safeguards.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the CySEC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at CySEC).
Amana Capital provides access to MT4 and MT5. The advertised minimum deposit starts from about US$50 — minimums often vary by account type and entity.
