D&B ni m*fi kabisa....those sloths cost me a fortune

these days am a satisfied customer of cfc. Never visit their offices coz i trade online and they are accessible by phone. I also get stock research, reports and i have access to mystocks TA tools like MACD, RSI etc.

Do you pay for all that ama its just the normal commisions when buying and selling?

if you have an account with cfc register here: http://msp.csfs.co.ke/ for the reports and research you call them and ask to be added to the mailing list. Susan will sort you out. Its free, just normal commissions. You can however subscribe for premium membership for more tools.

Did I hear someone say that the minimum opening balances for new accounts at AA is now 2 million? Sad Damn! That's even higher than the 50K someone was mentioning for DnB

@mozenrat. 2million to open acc at AA u said. Some should go to genghis capital, kingdom securities or any other with service that give u a smile. Genghis have excellent online service and for Kingdom u can use coop branches which have a good spread! Let's not make this mistake of all crowding at cfc. It might affect the good service in the long run.


What is that AA, some of us are quite new around and we may not know all the abreviations. Atleast not yet.
I tried to open an account with CFC but eti I have to go to their office in person to do that. Cant do it online because of their company policy! Let me find something...They have a nice online trading platform from what I hear, but one cant open the account online? I opened an account to trade at the NYSE, and am in the process of opening one at the LSE and JSE without going there but cant open one online in Kenya? I guess for now I will stick with D&B though they suck until am able to come to Kenya to open the account.
But I think Kenya is being left behind if they want a Kenyan in the Diaspora to spend $3000 to fly to NBI to open an account instead of just using that money to invest and because they charge some 1.8% in commission...They essentially make that money...

@rymoh,@mBialoss-its possible!i helped someone in a similar position.I requested for the account opening forms to be sent thro' e-mail,once filled they were scanned and sent back with the relevant documemts.You should talk with the customer care person or send someone to their office.

AA stands for African Alliance.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Yep.. Its 2 million... It used to be that much but they'd reduced to zero during the crisis when everyone was looking for clients.. I guess things are looking up and they're back to their snobbish premium clients only ways.. Old clients are not affected - hata kama una shares za 100 bob. NIC is now asking for minimum 100K.

Apologies for the use of the abbreviation.. its African Alliance..

I should also mention that there's a nominal fee of 200 whenever you're moving shares between brokers..
