Broker Funding

In a Non-Disclosed Broker account, all funds for client account trading are deposited into the master account, and then transferred to the client accounts. Market data and research subscriptions for the broker's own trading are billed to the master account. In addition, a Non-Disclosed Broker can deposit funds for their own trading into the Proprietary Account for Broker-Dealers.

To deposit funds into your master account, log in to Account Management with your master account username and password, and then click Funding > Fund Transfers and initiate a deposit transaction.

To deposit funds into your Proprietary Account for Broker-Dealers, log in to Account Management with your master account username and password, and then use the Account Selector to select the Proprietary Account for Broker-Dealers (the Account ID has a "U" prefix). Click Funding > Fund Transfers and initiate a deposit transaction.

Fund Transfers

In addition, you can:

  • Transfer funds between your Master Account (I account) and Proprietary Account for Broker-Dealers (U account);
  • Transfer funds from the Master Account to your client accounts (in both directions)

You CANNOT transfer funds from your Proprietary Account for Broker-Dealers to your client accounts.
