MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
MetaTrader 4 is FBS's long-running platform for forex and CFD trading. In Kenya it's the practical everyday choice for clients who fund via M-Pesa and trade mostly from a phone on Safaricom or Airtel mobile data, since the app stays responsive on modest connections and is available as a desktop terminal, a no-install browser WebTerminal, or an iOS/Android app that keeps working through the odd signal drop.
