Why PrimeXBT’s MT5 integration is a game-changer for investors in South Africa 

 ·12 Mar 2025

Nowadays, traders in South Africa seek greater diversification, flexibility, and access to professional-grade tools.

As demand grows for platforms that offer seamless access to multiple assets and advanced trading features, brokers are expanding their offerings to meet the changing needs of modern investors.

PrimeXBT, a regulated global multi-asset broker, continues to drive trading innovation with its latest platform update that brings its Crypto Futures, CFD Trading, and now the popular MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform all under one roof.

This expansion gives traders in South Africa access to a broader range of markets, along with the flexibility and advanced tools that MT5 offers.

Let’s explore what this means for local investors, and how it shapes the future of trading in the region.

An All-in-One Trading Solution with the Power of MT5

By integrating MT5 into its all-in-one trading ecosystem, PrimeXBT is offering clients in South Africa the chance to experience the benefits of the platform, while also having access to additional markets like Crypto Futures – all in a single place.

This provides traders with the opportunity to test a range of strategies across various assets and take advantage of MT5’s expert tools including technical indicators, charting tools, and expert advisors (EAs).

The integration brings together traditional financial markets and the growing world of Crypto derivatives within one seamless environment.

It allows traders to diversify their portfolios more efficiently and manage all their trades in a unified system.

It is important to remember, however, that trading involves risks, so a well-thought-out strategy is key.

Fees from 0% on Forex, Indices and Commodities

Fees often act as a barrier to entry for traders in South Africa, as these tend to be higher than in other regions.

PrimeXBT addresses this by offering a cost-effective trading experience with some of the most competitive conditions.

The broker charges fees from 0% on all non-Crypto CFDs including Forex, Indices, and Commodities.

Fees on Crypto CFDs start from 0.05% while Crypto Futures start from just 0.01%.

Spreads across all CFD assets also start as low as 0.1 pips.

With such a competitive fee structure, South African traders can participate in the markets more efficiently, keeping more of their capital for actual trading.

A Localised & Accessible MT5 Trading Experience

PrimeXBT is focused on providing South Africans with a trading experience tailored to their specific needs.

The broker supports deposits and withdrawals in rand (ZAR), removing costly exchange fees.

It also offers traders in the region a range of localised payment options.

These include local banks and popular third-party payment providers like Capitec Pay.

This ensures a seamless and accessible MT5 trading experience, giving South African traders greater flexibility and convenience.

PrimeXBT also provides clients with 24/7 localised support, allowing them to get assistance whenever they need it.

A Stable & Secure Trading Environment

Beyond the new features and the introduction of MT5, PrimeXBT remains committed to providing its South African clients with a secure and reliable trading experience.

The broker is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), giving traders the confidence and protection that comes from trading with a licensed entity.

It also works with various top-tier liquidity providers, to ensure deep liquidity and fast execution.

All client funds are segregated and PrimeXBT uses the latest cybersecurity technology to encrypt and protect client data.

Putting South African Traders First

As the demand for innovative, multi-asset trading products in South Africa continues to grow, PrimeXBT leads the way through cutting-edge technology, institutional-grade liquidity, and a diverse range of assets, all in one package.

The broker continues to prove its commitment to putting South African traders first, changing the game by raising the standards for performance and reliability, and providing an accessible trading experience.
