Payment solutions for the brokerage

We provide payment solutions for eligible CFD businesses following an assessment of the contracting entity and trading model. A broker accepting client deposits, an introducing operation and a software supplier have different commercial flows. We establish what the payment represents and which company provides the service before shaping the acquiring and gateway proposal.

Entity-specific permissions

We review the permissions associated with the company entering the client agreement and receiving payments. Where a group includes several entities, their roles and allocation of clients need to be clear. Marketing, customer terms and checkout presentation should accurately identify the responsible company. Our assessment does not substitute one group entity’s status for another’s or treat offshore incorporation as worldwide permission.

Client markets and acquisition

We assess the intended countries, channels and affiliate relationships alongside the business model. The proposed scope should reflect the traffic the business is permitted and approved to serve. New campaigns or jurisdictions can change the review even where the trading platform remains unchanged. We address those developments before they are introduced into the existing processing flow.

Deposits and account records

We work through the link between payer information, transaction references and the client account. Deposits, refunds and withdrawals are considered separately, with supported routes and responsibilities defined for each. The integration discussion covers delayed messages, duplicate attempts and reconciliation. A payment acceptance route is not treated as a general-purpose client-money account or automatic withdrawal facility.

Operational history and commercial fit

We review deposit values, volume estimates, complaint patterns and available processing statements. Previous restrictions and corrective measures provide useful context. The commercial discussion includes reserves, settlement and agreed limits alongside the integration requirements. This allows your team to evaluate the structure against the brokerage’s actual operating needs rather than choosing solely on a headline rate.

Make the CFD entity and client relationship explicit

We assess the brokerage company, CFD activity, client countries and payment journey as one operating picture. Identify the entity contracting with clients and how it relates to the websites and platforms presented for review. Include relevant permissions and explain any separate introducer, platform or cashier relationship. Existing payment statements should be accompanied by the business context they represent. We define requirements for the actual operation rather than treating a CFD brand name as a complete acquiring profile.

Define the money movement behind client funding

We review the requested deposit methods, transaction currencies and settlement needs alongside refund and withdrawal expectations. Your proposal should identify who supplies each function and which conditions, charges and limits apply. Explain how the finance team will relate payment reporting to the brokerage records. We do not imply that an acceptance solution confirms all other financial functions. The available arrangement depends on the assessed entity, client markets, underlying activity and relevant providers.

Build a funding record that survives exceptions

We support integration planning around the references used by your client platform and payment provider. An interrupted funding attempt, delayed result or repeated customer action needs a clear handling path. Identify which system records the final result and how staff investigate mismatches without creating an unsupported client-account update. Include refunds and reconciliation in the test plan. Your developers should implement the selected provider's actual transaction and notification behaviour rather than assuming all cashier connections work alike.

Keep entity and platform changes connected

A change in brokerage entities, client-market strategy or platform architecture can alter the payment scope. We address those changes in the commercial review before they enter the live arrangement. Keep the approved business description and responsibility map accessible to funding and support teams. Explain existing processing issues with dates and transaction context so a new proposal can be assessed realistically. Additional routes and functions are confirmed individually; an existing relationship is not a universal approval for expansion.

Start your eLotPay enquiry

Prepare your company country, website, customer markets, expected activity and essential payment requirements. Include the issue you are trying to solve, such as a new checkout, additional methods or a different settlement need. Our business-brief tool organises those details into a download for your next discussion. It currently saves the file on your device rather than submitting an application online. Do not include card details, passwords or identity documents in the brief. Any subsequent document sharing should use the agreed secure onboarding channel.

Payment records linked to the brokerage workflow

We address how transaction references connect gateway events with the client account and finance records. A deposit status, trading ledger entry and merchant settlement are separate operational events. We make those distinctions part of the implementation discussion so your team can investigate a delayed result or account enquiry using an understandable record across the systems involved.

A structure that reflects business changes

We review changes in client allocation, campaign activity and intended countries against the approved operating model. The same platform can support different entities and products, but each payment flow still needs a defined scope. We keep the commercial and technical requirements aligned so a new business initiative is assessed before it changes the traffic processed under an existing arrangement. We keep the next step practical: define the business requirement, establish the available structure and set out the responsibilities in writing. The review should give your team a clear basis for evaluating the arrangement, including what is included and what remains conditional. Our focus is a payment relationship that reflects the business you operate.

Frequently asked questions

Does an acceptance proposal cover every client-money function?

No. Deposits, refunds, requested withdrawals and settlement need their own scope and responsibility descriptions. We confirm available functions for the assessed entity and selected providers.

What changes should a CFD business bring for review?

Additional entities, client markets, platform relationships and new funding requirements should be discussed before they enter the approved payment flow. Keep the operating description current.
