Frequently Asked Questions
Is FxPro regulated?
Yes. FxPro is authorised by SCB, issued to the entity FxPro Global Markets Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official SCB public register.
What is the minimum deposit for FxPro in Kenya?
The cover charge is $100, the smallest amount Kenya traders need to open a live account with FxPro under SCB rules.
What leverage does FxPro offer in Kenya?
In Kenya, SCB rules cap FxPro at 1:500 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is FxPro safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: FxPro cooks under SCB. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
