Kes Market

Kes Market is a retail forex and CFD broker that, according to its registration, was founded on 8 February 2021 and is based in the United States. Our review relies exclusively on the limited known facts, as no independent web content or user reviews were available to verify the broker's operations or claims.

Due to the absence of reliable public information about this broker, traders should exercise caution. The broker lists three regulatory bodies — the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA), and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority of South Africa (FSCA) — but in each case the licence status is marked as '—', indicating that the registration may not be active or that the broker is not currently licensed by these authorities.

Kes Market claims oversight from three prominent regulators: ASIC in Australia, the FSA in Japan, and the FSCA in South Africa. However, the status for each is listed as '—', which typically means the licence is either not granted, expired, or not recognised by FXCanary’s records. This raises significant questions about the broker’s actual regulatory standing.

Without confirmation of active licences, traders have no guarantee of standard protections such as client fund segregation, compensation schemes, or dispute resolution. The broker’s registration in the United States does not imply federal or state-level oversight, as unregistered offshore brokers targeting US clients are not uncommon. We recommend verifying any licence directly with the issuing authority before committing capital.

FXCanary’s proprietary Scam Risk Score assigns Kes Market a score of 47 out of 100, placing it in the 'Guarded' risk category. This score reflects the low web confidence, the unclear status of its claimed licences, and the lack of independent third-party information about the broker’s operations.

A guarded score suggests that while no direct scam allegations have been confirmed, the broker operates with a level of opacity that is unusual for a regulated entity. Traders are advised to treat any engagement with Kes Market as high-risk and to explore well-established, transparent alternatives.

Given the limited verifiable data, Kes Market is not suitable for most retail traders, particularly those who prioritise regulatory safety and transparency. The broker may appeal to speculators willing to accept high risk in exchange for potential high leverage or exotic offerings, but this profile is purely hypothetical.

Traders who require a clear regulatory framework, account segregation, and a long track record of client service should avoid Kes Market until it provides verifiable proof of its status. The absence of user reviews and web presence further complicates any recommendation.

Before considering an account with Kes Market, traders should independently check the broker’s claims with ASIC, FSA, and FSCA. If the licences are indeed inactive, the broker may be operating without oversight, exposing clients to potential fraud or mismanagement.

We also note that the broker’s official domain, kesmarket.com, does not appear in standard industry databases or user forums, which is unusual for a regulated broker that has been operating since 2021. This lack of a digital footprint is a red flag that warrants further investigation.

Kes Market presents itself as a multi-regulated forex broker, but the evidence does not support its claims of active licensing. The FXCanary risk score of 47 highlights the need for caution, and the absence of independent web content makes it impossible to verify the broker’s trading conditions, platform, or customer service.

Until concrete regulatory confirmation or user experiences emerge, we classify Kes Market as a high-risk broker. Traders are strongly urged to avoid depositing funds until the broker’s regulatory standing is clarified through official channels.
