A futures FCM partner built for Introducing Brokers
Introducing Brokers need an FCM partner that understands the realities of running a brokerage business day-to-day. That includes responsive service, account visibility, onboarding resources and technology that fits how clients trade and how brokers manage accounts.

Support for Guaranteed, Independent and Foreign Introducing Brokers
The structure of your introducing broker business influences everything from client servicing and operational responsibilities to technology requirements and your relationship with the FCM. StoneX works with IB owners, principals and operations teams on Guaranteed Introducing Brokers (GIBs), Independent Introducing Brokers (IIBs), and Foreign Introducing Brokers FIBs) structures, helping firms align their structure with their business objectives, growth plans and service approach.
Guaranteed Introducing Brokers (GIBs)
For brokers evaluating a GIB model, StoneX can help assess how clearing, execution, client onboarding, and account administration fit into the broader FCM relationship.
Independent Introducing Brokers (IIBs)
Independent Introducing Brokers (IIBs) often require greater operational autonomy and visibility across their business. StoneX can help firms evaluate the clearing, technology, reporting, and account management capabilities needed to support an independent model while maintaining efficient workflows, client oversight, and scalability for future growth.
Foreign Introducing Brokers (FIBs)
For FIBs, StoneX can help evaluate clearing infrastructure, reporting visibility, platform access, account oversight, and what’s needed to support a more independent operating model.
Dedicated IB service
Service matters when clients are calling, accounts need attention, and brokers need answers quickly.
StoneX provides Introducing Brokers with relationship management, client service, and operational support across onboarding, account setup, account maintenance and everyday service questions.
That means brokers know who to contact, what comes next, and when to expect follow-up.
IB service built around your business
Broker representatives can serve as a primary point of contact for IBs, helping coordinate account questions, operational requests, and business support.
Service teams that understand IB operations
StoneX service teams support day-to-day brokerage operations, including onboarding, account maintenance, trading support, reporting and client service requests.
Technology and connectivity
Introducing Brokers need technology that fits both sides of the relationship: how clients trade and how broker teams manage accounts. StoneX offers platform access, connectivity options and reporting tools that help brokers support different client trading styles while maintaining visibility across accounts and activity.
Platform access for brokers and clients
StoneX offers access to trading platforms and technology options including online, mobile and third-party platform access where appropriate.

For IB businesses with more technical requirements, StoneX can evaluate API and custom workflow integration needs tied to trading, reporting, account oversight or client service.
Reporting and account visibility
