Payment Gateway for Financial Brokers
A payment gateway for financial brokers is the infrastructure that lets brokerages accept client deposits and process trade-related withdrawals securely, at high volume, under strict regulatory oversight. PAYSTRAX is a direct acquirer for financial brokerage merchants, holding its own FCA and Bank of Lithuania licences and Visa/Mastercard Principal Membership, so brokers get one regulated counterparty and faster settlement.
Efficient payment gateway for financial brokerage
Growing interest in stocks and shares trading is shaping the financial brokerage industry today. An elevated volume of transactions, increased security measurements, regulatory changes for the industry – all these require flexible payment processing solutions.
Our payment gateway offers that and more: near real-time monitoring, multi-currency acceptance, customisation, mobile user-friendly design, and other features that help to improve the payment experience for you and your customers.
As a direct acquirer, PAYSTRAX holds its own FCA and Bank of Lithuania licences and Principal Membership with Visa and Mastercard – giving brokerages a single regulated counterparty from onboarding through to settlement. That means faster settlement and processing capacity that stays consistent as your trading volumes scale.

Frequently asked questions
What is financial brokerage?
A financial brokerage is an intermediary that facilitates the buying and selling of various stocks, shares, CFDs and other assets on behalf of its clients. Financial brokerages play a role in the financial markets by connecting buyers and sellers and executing financial transactions.
Can I choose payment options for my customers?
We hold Visa and Mastercard licences. That allows our merchants to accept credit and debit cards and their alternative methods (Google Pay and Apple Pay) that are Visa or Mastercard.
What is the difference between blended pricing rate and IC++ models?
Blended pricing combines all transaction fees into a single rate. Interchange-Plus (IC++) pricing separates interchange fees and processor mark-ups. Blended pricing is simpler, while IC++ pricing provides more transparency and cost analysis.
What happens if there is a technical issue with the payment gateway during trading hours?
In the event of technical issues, the payment gateway has back-up systems in place and a support team to address and resolve such problems, minimising disruptions to trading operations.
What types of transactions can be processed through a payment gateway?
Our payment gateway can handle various transactions: depositing funds into trading accounts, executing trades, withdrawing profits, and transferring funds between accounts.
What's the difference between a payment gateway and a direct acquirer for financial brokers?
For a financial brokerage, a payment gateway is just the checkout technology that captures and encrypts a client’s deposit or withdrawal details and passes them along – it still relies on a separate bank or acquirer to actually process the transaction. A direct acquirer, like PAYSTRAX, holds that processing relationship itself, along with its own regulatory licences and card scheme membership, so there’s no intermediary between the brokerage and the card schemes. In practice, that means a single regulated counterparty and faster settlement, plus processing capacity that stays consistent as trading volumes scale.
