MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
MetaTrader 5 is FBS's newer multi-asset platform, built for traders who want deeper analysis tools than MT4 offers. It's required for the Zero Spread account, and in Uganda it downloads and runs comfortably over MTN Uganda or Airtel Uganda mobile data — most clients here run it on the same phone they use for MTN Mobile Money, moving between the app and their trading account without needing a desktop. Verification and funding both happen inside the same app, so there's no separate desktop step before you can place a first trade.
