What the CMA (Kenya) licence means
Our records show that, Windsor Brokers holds a licence from the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya (CMA (Kenya)), the financial regulator for Kenya. We classify the CMA (Kenya) as tier 3 — moderate regulation. Established offshore or emerging-market regulators with capital and reporting requirements but limited retail protection.
For Windsor Brokers clients whose account is held by its CMA (Kenya)-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No dedicated compensation scheme for online forex clients confirmed; retail leverage — Maximum 400:1; negative balance protection — not confirmed in our records (check the client agreement); client money — Client funds held in segregated accounts. Disputes can be taken to CMA complaints.
Windsor Brokers is also matched to licences from CySEC, JSC and FSC (Belize). CySEC is rated higher than the CMA (Kenya) in our methodology, so if you are eligible for that entity you may get stronger protection.
