"Regulated by multiple entities, including CMA, amana takes additional measures beyond regulatory requirements to promote fair and ethical trading. From highlighting leveraged assets to providing world-class education for free within the app, amana promotes healthy trading and investing practices for the long-term benefit of its customers. This makes me proud to help bring amana to our customers in Lebanon, and fill this market gap."
