Brokerage funding with references
compliance can actually audit.

CFD and FX brokers need fast client funding without card chargebacks and with remittance data that maps to client accounts. StixBNK routes pay-by-bank initiation with explicit client references, bank-grade SCA, and merchant settlement on T+5 in fiat or USDC.

No CB A2A — not scheme chargebacks on leverage products

The problem

Why forex & trading merchants leave card rails.

01

Wire transfers with missing references

Clients send SEPA or SWIFT transfers with truncated or blank remittance info. Back-office teams manually match €5k–€50k deposits to trading accounts — often 24–72h delay.

02

Card chargebacks on leveraged products

Clients fund via card then dispute after losses. Friendly fraud on CFD accounts triggers scheme chargebacks brokers cannot win — plus processor termination risk.

03

Multi-jurisdiction funding complexity

EU, UK, and offshore clients need different rails. Integrating multiple aggregators doubles engineering cost and splits reconciliation across webhook schemas.

Payment flow

How StixBNK handles forex & trading checkout

01
Broker KYB and entity review

Submit brokerage licence, target markets, and client segments. NEXORA SASU can act as Merchant of Record where indicated, absorbing billing obligations.
02
Client initiates deposit in portal

Trading platform POSTs collection with client account ID (e.g. CLI-78432), amount, and currency. Reference is visible in the payer's banking app before authorisation.
03
SCA at client's bank

Client selects their ASPSP on hosted checkout and authorises via PSD2 SCA or SEPA Instant. Status updates in real time on supported rails.
04
CRM credit on confirmation

Webhook delivers client ref, amount, payer bank, and timestamp. Trading account credited on authorised state — configurable to settled if your policy requires.
05
Treasury settlement T+5

Broker receives liquidity in EUR, GBP, or USDC on T+5. Per-client references persist in settlement exports for compliance and audit.

EU retail broker

Client top-up — €10,000 with account ID in the bank app

A CySEC-regulated broker processes 400+ daily deposits. Manual wire matching costs 2 FTEs; 12% of wires arrive without usable references.

Client clicks "Deposit by bank" in portal; platform creates collection ref CLI-78432 for €10,000.
Client selects BNP Paribas; SCA in mobile app shows beneficiary, amount, and reference CLI-78432.
Webhook authorised → trading account credited within 90 seconds on instant rail.
Compliance log: client ID, payer IBAN fragment, bank, timestamp — one row, no manual match.

Outcome: Same-day funding without back-office intervention. Audit trail satisfies client-money rules with structured remittance data.

Withdrawal reconciliation

Return-of-funds — £3,200 withdrawal with traceable reference

A UK broker returns client funds after account closure. Compliance requires proof the outbound payment maps to the original client ledger entry.

Withdrawal queue generates outbound reference WD-2026-1189 tied to client CLI-55102.
Finance initiates return via same orchestration layer; client sees reference in their bank feed.
Status webhook confirms delivery; compliance archives payer bank + ref + amount bundle.
No card refund path — bank transfer with full traceability for FCA record-keeping.

Outcome: Withdrawal audit completes in minutes, not days. Client and regulator see matched references end-to-end.

FAQ

Common questions from forex & trading operators

Can we enforce client account IDs in every deposit?

Yes. References are generated at initiation and displayed in the payer's banking app. They propagate through webhooks, dashboards, and settlement exports — no optional field.

Does StixBNK support SEPA Instant for brokerage funding?

Where the payer's bank and corridor support instant SEPA, confirmation typically lands in seconds. Standard SEPA and other rails are routed per market with the same API contract.

What about card chargebacks if we keep cards alongside A2A?

Card chargebacks remain a card-path risk. Moving appropriate client segments to bank-initiated funding removes the scheme dispute mechanism on that volume — most brokers push A2A for deposits above €1,000.
