Check out these brokers at the bottom of the post.
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.
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.
1. XM Forex.
How to Fund Your XM Broker Account With Safaricom – Mpesa.

- Login to your account. Or register here if you are new to XM Forex.
- Click on the quick deposit button on top of your trading chart.

2. 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 in Iron trade in Kenya have reported trouble in withdrawing their money.

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.
