076
Account & OpsMar 2026

Broker self-service onboarding

Brokers can now onboard clients end-to-end through the platform: invite clients via email, accept invites, create trading accounts with automatic beneficiary access, configure routes with spreads and commissions, and connect to venue trading sessions — all via the API without platform operator intervention.
