White label to own licence
Move from an MT5 white label to your own licence
A white label gets you started, but your platform, data and future depend on someone else’s agreement with MetaQuotes. Your own licence puts your company in control. We handle the corporate and MetaQuotes side of the switch.
Updated
- Your company, your MT5 server
- Independence from the white-label provider
- Company and documents prepared
- Planned client migration
Moving from an MT5 white label to your own licence puts the MetaQuotes agreement, server and data in your company. The switch involves the right company, the MetaQuotes application, a new MT5 server and a planned client migration.
The difference
White label vs own MT5 licence
| White label | Own MT5 licence | |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement with MetaQuotes | Held by the provider | Held by your company |
| Server and data | Provider’s server | Your own MT5 server |
| Risk of losing access | Depends on the provider | Depends on your own compliance |
| Configuration freedom | Limited | Full |
| Cost structure | Provider fees | MetaQuotes licence fees, hosting and administration |
| Compliance review | Provider’s | Your company is reviewed directly |

White label switch: questions
Can I keep my brand when I switch?
Yes. Your own licence lets you brand the terminal with your company name and website.
Do my clients need new accounts?
They receive accounts on your new server. Balances and settings are migrated in a planned window, coordinated with your white-label provider.
Can I switch from MT4 as well?
New licences are MT5 only, so switching is also the moment to move from MT4 to MT5. See MT5 vs MT4 licence.
