Top Forex Brokers That Accept Mpesa Deposits in Kenya

56 Shares

As a writer of Forex content; one of the questions that I’m constantly asked is to recommend a good Forex broker that accepts Mpesa deposits in Kenya.

Of course they aren’t so many.

And just until recently the few brokers who provided mobile payment solutions were either unreliable or new.

Then FXTM happened.

In this post we list Forex brokers that accept Mpesa Deposits and withdrawals in Kenya.

Some of these brokers are strict to Forex trading. Others are diverse and also provide options trading on the side.

We begin with: –

1. Iron Trade

Updated on 8/13/2019 – before opening an account with Iron Trade or investing your money with the platform, know you can lose all your investments. Another thing, people who have invested with Iron trade in Kenya have reported trouble in withdrawing their money. Plus, Iron Trade customer service sucks. They don’t reply to messages or calls. Don’t fall a victim. Iron Trade Could be a Scam.

Iron trade is a credible Forex company now operating in Kenya.

It is owned and operated by Barrtoli Management S.A of address 306 Premier Building, Albert Street, Victoria, Mahe, Republic of Seychelles.

Iron trade offers Forex and Options Trading with the lowest trading time in the market.

You can open a trade that runs for 30 seconds and get 80% returns (or more) when you win.

The best thing about Iron Trade is, it operates 24 hours – 7 days a week.

Take note that deals made during the weekend are over the counter deals (OTC).

What’s the meaning of OTC?

Over the counter trade means a transaction made between two parties without publishing it anywhere. These types of deals are unique to Iron Trade and can be a source of income when Forex is off.

Is The Iron Trade Platform User Friendly?

Yes.

It is easy to open an Iron Trade account, navigate and to actually trade on the platform.

To confirm that it is in fact easy to use and that the OTC option works just fine; I opened an Iron Trade account over the weekend;

Traded on the demo account, lost, recovered and made some profits.

5. IQ Option

When we talk about Options Trading, which trading platform comes to your mind?

Expert Option?
Binomo?
AvaTrade?

To most of us, we think IQ option when we think trading.

And even though IQ Option isn’t currently as popular to Kenyans as the Wildebeest Migration is to the Serengeti; it is still a broker to recon with.
