Benefits of Becoming an Introducing Broker (IB)

In today’s post, we are going to discuss the benefits of becoming an introducing broker, and more importantly, how to work with a brokerage firm that can support your business.

The introducing broker business has been around for decades and has been evolving rapidly over the last few years as the financial market continues to expand with new financial instruments.

What is an Introducing Broker?

An Introducing Broker (IB) or Introducing Broker Agent in our industry means a broker who has direct relationships with clients whether retail or Business to Business (B2B). An IB is affiliated with ACY either as an independent or as a business.

An IB does not necessarily provide personal or general advice regarding trading and, most of the time operates as a middleman between ACY and the client. ACY handles the entire business model with everything from A to Z, from compliance, execution, and so on. But an IB receives a commission when they introduce their client base to ACY. That is what we call a REBATE.

Introducing Brokers or IBs outside of Australia does not require holding a license or being regulated by any financial authority. However, in Australia, IBs must be regulated by ASIC and hold an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL).

How do Introducing Brokers benefit from ACY?

The list is endless, but I will highlight the top benefits:
