FBS vs Pepperstone for residents of Kuwait

Kuwait’s securities regulator is the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), which publishes lists of licensed companies. Check the company that signs your agreement in the register of its own regulator, and ask the broker whether Kuwaiti dinar transfers are supported.

Ask the broker which company would hold your account and under which regulator, whether Kuwaiti dinar transfers are supported, and what protection applies to a client living in Kuwait. Get the answers in writing. We have not checked whether either one accepts residents of Kuwait.
