Why does a forex broker need a merchant account? Why does a forex broker need to be able to process credit cards?
The forex industry is a dynamic industry, with traders opening and closing positions every second. This translates into profit and loss and funds moving around at lightning speeds. The entry of new brokers into the industry and new traders seeking revenue and the opportunity that comes with trading leveraged instruments. Each new entrant into the market offers different trading opportunities, pricing structures and trading platforms.
Irrespective of the differences, the lifeblood of each brokerage is client deposits. If a client is unable to deposit, they cannot trade, and if they cannot trade, the brokerage is unable to generate revenue. Payment to traders is also important, with traders often looking to receive payments to the same credit card from which they have deposited. For these reasons it’s crucial to have the right forex payment provider and solution to ensure that your deposits and payouts run smoothly, giving you a significant advantage over the competition.

Because of this, it is often difficult to obtain a forex trading merchant account, which can impede your ability to provide adequate payment solutions for your clients. GBO can provide assistance to both start-up and existing Forex brokers looking to establish their merchant processing accounts.
Main features of Forex Merchant Accounts and Payment Gateways for Forex
Bank Direct Accounts: Forex merchant accounts can be either 3rd party/aggregate merchant accounts or bank direct merchant accounts. The primary difference between them is that aggregate accounts group a number of forex merchants in a single account under a generic descriptor, whilst bank direct merchant accounts set an individual merchant account with a unique descriptor. This unique descriptor is the Forex broker’s company name, and will show up on the forex trader’s credit or debit card statement for each transaction. Bank direct accounts are only available to larger merchants with previous processing history.
Account opening: Each Forex brokerage has specific requirements that need to be met when they apply for a forex merchant account. Put simply, what works for one company may not work for another. We offer assistance with several different Forex merchant account solutions, providing a choice of account options so that you don’t have to apply to multiple banks or payment processors.
Accept China UnionPay: The Forex industry is a large, growth industry in China, with most clients using China UnionPay cards. Forex merchant accounts must be able to accept China UnionPay cards and the Chinese Yuan. As a side benefit, the processing rates for China UnionPay are generally lower than Visa and MasterCard processing rates.
Merchant Accounts for Startup Forex Brokerages
Starting a successful forex brokerage requires a significant investment in both time and money. For any new broker, the initial hurdle is often dealing with the potentially complex legal requirements. A new brokerage must be incorporated and licensed with a corporate bank account. There are also many regulatory requirements governing the business on an ongoing basis, these requirements necessitate a properly configured platform to access liquidity providers and receive fast and accurate feeds. To be effective the platform must also integrate seamlessly with the mobile and web presence of the business, necessitating significant design and setup elements. The forex merchant will also seek to generate traffic for the website from their targeted marketing campaigns.
Unfortunately, without an effective forex merchant account these endeavours will be ineffective. For the startup forex merchants, most payment processors will not approve their application for a merchant account. However, BDO will. We work with startups to provide the best forex merchant accounts, where approval generally only takes a few short days.
Forex Payment Processing
For an unregulated forex broker, merchant service companies have been known to freeze transactions, requiring time consuming and difficult verifications to be made before the funds are unfrozen. Merchant services companies have been known to demand proof of licensing, often returning funds back to the trader.
This can have disastrous consequences for the broker. In addition, traders themselves can be impacted by being unable to access their funds for trading.
It is essential for a brokerage to avoid this situation and ensure that the merchant services company has inclusive policies for all types of brokers as well as a high quality, easy to use service.
