Comparing Kingdom Securities with a government institution is even giving them a higher rating! Government institutions seem to be more competent. Kingdom Securities are at best mediocre. They don't find any need to reply emails and even if you happen to call them, they act as if they are doing you a favour talking to you. I wonder whether this is the institutional culture or they simply don't have the right people in place. I am fed up with them and would like to transfer my account elsewhere although I'm not sure where. It is quite frustrating when you give them business and yet they mistreat you.

You have hit the nail on the head my friend.These guys behave as if you are doing them a favor.They really messed me up when I was new in stocks.However their online share trading platform is superb and after learning how they treat their customers,I opted to be using that.They need to up their game or else we will look for other options.

I think they target institutional investors. My first CDS account opening took place at the Kingdom. However when I realized what I was missing, the online trading platform I run away faster than Usain.

@shrewdinvestor Please let me understand how I may access the online share trading platform and how it works. I didn't think there was anything positive with these guys. At the moment, all I'm thinking is moving away from them and saving myself from the frustrations they have subjected me to.

@shrewdinvestor, Did you really mean that KSL have an online trading system?

One thing I advise those new to stocks is this: never use Banks to trade Securities for one simple reason, stock-broking is not their core business! Thus, they won't/haven't suitably invested in their staff...or their systems!
Stockbroking: earns them 1.2% margin (low volumes)
Credit/loans: earns them at least 12% margin (high-higher volumes)

Think of it this way: Investment banks and pure- stockbrokers are the only one who may give you the attention you deserve- they have invested in systems and people (these are the engine parts of any business)

Key thing is build a relationship with them (brokerage) and it will blossom. Wazuans will tell you that.

Online platforms, good. Have to know what you are doing though so as to avoid temperamental trading.

This advice works well for city dwellers! Imagine someone in Meru, Embu, Kericho, Kisii... Which Broker do you use? I used to deal with GCL but I realized KSL was more convenient.

Yes they do though at the moment it's at trial stage.... They are yet to roll it out officially. Visit their offices and ask to talk to a gentleman called Henry, he will loop you in.

I meant KSL did not have online platform. I run away to SBG and have found it convenient, hata kwa watu wa county.

When you deposit money on MPESA or CFC bank it reflects on your cds account balance the next day

Pay requests seems to take an average of 48 hours though, but satisfactory

They used to share some research on some counters, it has been long since I saw that though. They send a daily NSE report with pricelist attached.

When there is a system error you can place your order through email.

But if you good people have a better broker I'll be happy to know and possibly upgrade

Order through email? To a specific account manager, ama?
