## What acquirers look at

Forex, CFD and trading deposits are financial services. Acquirers board only brokers licensed by the regulators of the markets they serve, and expect client verification and segregated funds.

- **Regulatory license.** Authorisation from the financial regulator of each market you onboard clients from. You must hold the licenses your markets require.
- **Client KYC and suitability.** Identity checks, appropriateness or suitability tests, and AML monitoring.
- **Segregated client funds.** Client money held separately as your regulator requires.
- **Risk disclosures.** Clear risk warnings on your site and in your marketing.
- **Withdrawal process.** How clients withdraw funds, and how long it takes.

## How Orchestrapay helps

1. **Acquirer Network.** One KYC application, sent to the acquirers in our network of 40+ that board forex and trading platforms, pre-matched to each acquirer's boarding rules and aware of MATCH status. Approval is always the acquirer's decision.
2. **Never depend on one processor.** Run several merchant accounts behind Smart Routing, with failover when one is paused, and keep your customers' cards in a vault you own.
3. **Keep your accounts.** Chargeback Alerts, Dispute Deflection, VAMP & MATCH Management, 3D Secure and the Antifraud Engine keep dispute and fraud ratios under the card scheme thresholds.

You must hold the licenses and registrations your markets require.

## FAQ

**Can unlicensed brokers apply?** No. Acquirers board trading platforms only with a valid license for the markets they serve.

**How do I handle withdrawals?** Talk to us about returning funds to the deposit card; support depends on the acquirer.

**Why spread deposits across accounts?** Trading platforms see sudden reviews. Several accounts with failover keep deposits open.

**Do you need my client data?** No. We process the payment; your KYC of clients stays on your side.
