OKX publishes 0.35% taker / 0.2% maker as its entry-tier trading fees, and every number on this page links back to the official schedule it came from (last checked July 11, 2026). OKX accepts sign-ups from Kenya at the time of our last check. Reserve transparency is part of the score here: the table notes what the platform publishes about its holdings. The service has operated since 2013, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. Kenyan users most often fund via mobile money or P2P rails, which makes deposit-method support a bigger differentiator than the headline fee.
The table below is the public entry-tier snapshot for OKX: published fees, verification rules, and account terms, each linked to the official page it was read from and dated July 11, 2026. Logged-in tiers, promotions, and regional product lines can differ from the public schedule, so treat these numbers as the starting point for Kenya and confirm inside the account before moving size.
