[Explore MT5 white label](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/mt5-white-label) South Africa is Africa's most developed regulated forex market, and competition between brokers is intense. Your MT5 white label provider shapes your spreads, platform stability, onboarding and payments, so it pays to choose carefully. This guide shows what to look for. ## What an MT5 white label gives you With a white label, you run MetaTrader 5 under your own brand on a provider's licensed server infrastructure, rather than buying a full MT5 licence. It is faster and cheaper to launch, and many brokers move to their own licence later. See [MT5 white label vs full licence](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/blog-mt5-white-label-vs-full-license). ## What South African brokers need | Need | What to check | | --- | --- | | ZAR accounts | ZAR-denominated groups alongside USD, with correct conversion and reporting | | Instruments | Forex, gold, global indices and any South African instruments you plan to offer | | Liquidity | Spreads and execution on gold and indices at SAST peak times; see [choosing a liquidity provider](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/blog-how-to-choose-a-forex-liquidity-provider) | | KYC and records | FICA-style identity and address checks, record keeping and audit trails in the [CRM](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/crm) | | IB oversight | Multi-tier [IB management](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/ib-affiliate), marketing controls and commission reports | | Payments | Instant EFT, PayShap, cards and bank transfers that credit accounts automatically | | Risk | Exposure monitoring for principal (ODP) brokers through [risk management](https://www.brokerwhitelabelsolution.com/risk-management) | ## FSCA licensing: your side of the work Brokers issuing CFDs need FSCA authorisation as an over-the-counter derivative provider (ODP) plus an FSP licence under FAIS.
