Why EmpireFX is on the register
EmpireFX claims to be authorized by the Kenya CMA. However, our search of the official CMA licensee register found no record of it or the stated licence. This discrepancy strongly suggests that the firm’s regulatory claims are inaccurate or deliberately misleading. Besides, EmpireFX does not provide any other licensing information. Until verifiable evidence of legitimate authorization is provided, we assess EmpireFX as a likely unlicensed or fraudulent broker and advise extreme caution.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
