Professional broker overview

FindMyFX editorial summary

Makeba Markets (Pty) Ltd states that it has held FSCA FSP number 53160 since September 14, 2023, with derivative-instrument permissions added in October 2025. Its product page describes major, minor and exotic FX pairs traded as margin derivatives and publishes an indicative EUR/USD spread from 0.8 pips. The reviewed site did not disclose a platform name, retail minimum deposit or maximum leverage.

Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.

Editorial note: The FSCA licence details were inspected through the broker's regulatory page and its link to the FSCA register, but an exact machine-readable FSCA entity result was not captured; staff should independently confirm the domain-to-license relationship.
