Our story

Built on regulation, built for traders.

Makeba Markets (Pty) Ltd was established to give traders a regulated, transparent way to access global markets — licensed by the FSCA since 2023 as a Category I Financial Services Provider.

What we stand for

A few things we hold ourselves to.

Integrity

We act within the standards the FAIS Act sets for licensed providers — in writing, in trade, and in conversation.

Transparency

Our licence, our conditions and our risks are published in plain language — see our regulatory page for the detail.

Client-first

Decisions get made with the person on the other side of the trade in mind, not just the trade itself.

Discipline

Markets reward process over impulse. We build our platform and our conduct around that idea.

Governance

How we're structured & overseen

As a Category I Financial Services Provider, our business is built around defined governance functions and the oversight standards set out in the FAIS Act.

Key Individual oversight

Our licensed Key Individual function carries responsibility for managing and overseeing the financial services rendered under FSP 53160, as required by the FAIS Act.

Compliance function

An independent compliance function monitors adherence to the FAIS General Code of Conduct, FICA, POPIA and our internal policies, and reports to the FSCA as required.

Client-facing conduct

Our dealing and client-facing teams operate under Treating Customers Fairly principles, with clear escalation to compliance and independent oversight of execution quality.
