Key Advantages
U.S. Equity Compliance
Broker Involvement
Compliant Pathways for Trading U.S. Stocks
Although an FSRA license does not itself permit direct trading of U.S. stocks, compliant access can be achieved through the following structure:
Cooperation with a U.S.-Licensed Broker
An FSRA-licensed institution may establish a partnership with a U.S. SEC-registered broker as an Introducing Broker (IB).
Under this arrangement:- Client orders are executed by the U.S.-licensed broker
- The FSRA-licensed institution is responsible for client onboarding, account structuring, and ongoing client services
