Is Amana Capital regulated by the DFSA?

What the DFSA licence means

Based on our licence database, Amana Capital holds a licence from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the financial regulator for United Arab Emirates. We classify the DFSA as tier 2 — strong regulation. Credible regulators with real rulebooks, but fewer safeguards than tier 1 (e.g. no compensation scheme or looser leverage rules).

For Amana Capital clients whose account is held by its DFSA-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No compensation scheme; retail leverage — Set under DFSA conduct rules for retail clients; check the firm's disclosures; negative balance protection — not confirmed in our records (check the client agreement); client money — Client money rules modelled on UK CASS. Disputes can be taken to DFSA complaints / DIFC Courts.

Amana Capital is also matched to licences from CySEC and FSC (MU). Note that clients outside United Arab Emirates may be onboarded to a weaker entity (FSC (MU)) instead.
