# Forex Business in Angola and Mozambique: Regulators, Currency Rules and Portuguese Trading Platforms (2026)

By Broker White Label Solutions Team · Published 2 November 2026 · 9 min read

**Quick answer**

In Angola, capital-market intermediaries are supervised by the Comissão do Mercado de Capitais (CMC), which issued new rules for non-bank financial institutions in 2025, while the Banco Nacional de Angola controls foreign exchange. In Mozambique, the Banco de Moçambique supervises both banking and the securities market and controls foreign exchange. Because both countries restrict moving local currency abroad, most trading businesses work as IBs, education or prop firms, or partner with brokers licensed elsewhere, and they need fully Portuguese platforms, portals and support.

**Key takeaways**

- Angola: the CMC supervises capital-market intermediaries; the BNA controls foreign exchange.
- Mozambique: the Banco de Moçambique supervises banks, the securities market and foreign exchange.
- Currency controls in both countries limit residents' foreign trading, so take local advice.
- Portuguese-language portals, apps and support are essential.
- Local payments include Multicaixa Express and Unitel Money in Angola, and M-Pesa and e-Mola in Mozambique.

**Looking for a Portuguese IB portal?** Partner tracking, commissions and reports fully in Portuguese.

Angola and Mozambique are Africa's two largest Portuguese-speaking markets, with young populations, rising smartphone use and growing interest in trading. Most international providers offer little in Portuguese, which is a real opportunity for brokers, IBs and fintechs that localise properly.

## Regulators at a glance

|  | Angola | Mozambique |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Capital markets | Comissão do Mercado de Capitais (CMC) | Banco de Moçambique |
| Foreign exchange | Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA) | Banco de Moçambique |
| Stock exchange | BODIVA | Bolsa de Valores de Moçambique |
| Currency | Kwanza (AOA) | Metical (MZN) |

In June 2025 Angola's CMC issued Regulation No. 2/25 on non-bank financial institutions in the capital and investment markets, including intermediaries in securities and derivatives. If you plan a regulated local business, start with this framework and a local lawyer.

## Currency controls

Both central banks control how residents move local currency abroad. In practice, this limits funding accounts with foreign brokers and affects how payouts can be made. It is the main reason most local businesses focus on IB, education, prop trading or technology models, or partner with regional groups licensed in South Africa, Mauritius or elsewhere.
