Their services are second to none. Their online service is also great. I've been with then since 1999 and I cant complain. They issue check T+3 and open cheque for up to 50K at a small fee. Search the web on the discussion on them. Or email me for more detail.

That an isolated case. Just fulfil the Kyc requirement and you are good to go!!!

Much as I appreciate need for KYC, it takes the strong of heart to adhere fully at CFC Financial Services.
Sample for individuals:
--PIN certificate
--Utility bill to proove phsycial address
--Copy of bank statement/payslip to show source of income

Aiissh, I feel uncovered... What next, birth/marriage certificate?

@qw, when did you last use CFC online? They are https. BTW the online orders now have a 7 day validity as opposed to previously when they expired at the end of the day of the order.

True; they have encypted security these days. Only problem is getting money deposited from CFC Stanbic HQ downstairs into my account at CFC Financial upstairs; it's been 1 week no progress yet. Called and was told to bring my copy of deposit slip to CFC Financial; ati their copy delays from the bank section! Nkt!

@Gordon, did that yesterday but still waiting till now for account to be credited; sometimes can be very frustrating!

@my 2 cents! In the past I've traded online with D&B in their better times and thought they had the best online trading platform. Are you sincere in your allegation of 15/30 minutes deals?

How does Kestrel compare with African Alliance?

Pkoli. They are both very efficient and i do not have to pay upfront for them to effect my orders, all i do is send an SMS.And living abroad, Kestrel is even more advantagous since they accept payment in any covertable currency and you get billed for that day's rate without any commssion.While African Alliance will give their account number for you to wire them cash directly.(When i was with CFS Stanblic Finacial Services I had to send someone to deposit money or cheque at any CFS Stanbic Bank branch, then wait for them to credit your CDS a/c and then place your order.That process would between ten to fourteen days depending on whether its cheque or cash deposit)

CFC STANBIC FINANCIAL SERVICES. Imagine I sold my Centum bonus Shares today at 25.25 and used the proceed to buy Mumias today at 11.00. How can you describe that? Swift I guess. The time lapse btn the transactions less than 1HRS. Men that was wonderful. They take it all.
