Banking Technology for Broker-Dealers
Settlement, custody, and FX rails built for broker-dealers
ACM Global Tech gives broker-dealers a regulated-first, client-owned platform for moving cash and assets across borders, currencies, and chains. Tokenized assets, stablecoin settlement, and real-time FX in one white-label stack.
Legacy rails were not built for 24/7 markets
Broker-dealers operate where capital markets, payments, and compliance intersect. Most are doing it on infrastructure that batches, settles slowly, and stops at the border.
Cross-border execution still depends on correspondent chains and cut-off windows. Multi-currency books carry FX spread and reconciliation drag. Client cash sits idle between trade and settlement. And as markets compress toward shorter settlement cycles and continuous trading, the operational gap between the front office and the back office keeps widening.
ACM consolidates the plumbing. One banking core handles deposits and client money, payments and settlement, multi-currency FX, treasury and liquidity, and tokenized real-world assets, all under your brand and your control.
What broker-dealers run on ACM
A complete, brandable banking ecosystem, deployed as modules or as a whole.
Tokenized asset infrastructure
Issue, transfer, and service real-world assets on-chain with non-custodial options. Bring securities, funds, and collateral into a programmable, auditable form.
Stablecoin settlement
Settle the cash leg in minutes, not days, with stablecoin rails that operate around the clock and across borders without correspondent delays.
Exchange and multi-currency FX
Real-time FX across 200+ markets at industry-leading rates, so cross-border execution and multi-currency books stop bleeding spread.
Treasury and liquidity
Put client and firm cash to work between trade and settlement with real-time positioning, sweeps, and liquidity controls.
Payments and card issuing
Move funds in and out and issue branded cards on the same ledger, with a unified view of every flow.
Post-quantum security
Post-quantum cryptography protects keys, custody, and settlement messages against tomorrow's threats, not just today's.
Regulated-first, people-first, fast to deploy
Serious institutions need infrastructure that satisfies their compliance teams and their timelines at the same time.
- Compliance-ready by design: built for regulated institutions, with audit trails, controls, and reporting that hold up to scrutiny.
- Client-owned and white-label: every surface is yours to brand. You own the relationship, the data, and the rails.
- Non-custodial options: choose the custody model that fits your regulatory posture and your clients' expectations.
- Agile Speed Framework: a delivery model built to stand up new capabilities quickly, without the multi-year core migration.
- AI and data innovation: surface risk, reconciliation, and liquidity insight from a single source of truth.
- Ecosystem partners: backed by Hanzo.ai and Lux Network for advanced infrastructure and on-chain depth.
Sits inside your trading and post-trade stack
ACM is built to interoperate with the systems a broker-dealer already runs, so settlement, FX, and tokenization rails reach the front office without ripping out the order book.
OMS, EMS, and clearing
REST and event APIs and SDKs connect ACM to your order and execution management systems and to clearing and custodian feeds, so allocations, confirms, and settlement instructions flow without manual re-keying.
KYC, AML, and market data
Connectors reuse your existing identity, sanctions screening, and reference-data providers, keeping one source of truth across onboarding, surveillance, and the cash and asset legs of every trade.
Delivery-versus-payment
Tokenized securities and stablecoin cash legs settle atomically against each other, so DvP for on-chain assets reconciles to the same ledger your back office already reports from.
Built for the books-and-records your examiners expect
Broker-dealers answer to FINRA and the SEC on customer-asset protection, recordkeeping, and supervision. ACM is designed to support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS requirements and to give risk and compliance the evidence they need.
- Segregation of client assets: firm and customer cash, positions, and tokenized holdings are tracked on separate ledgers with configurable custody, supporting customer-protection obligations such as Rule 15c3-3.
- Immutable books and records: every settlement, FX fill, and asset transfer writes a tamper-evident, time-stamped audit log designed to support 17a-3 and 17a-4 recordkeeping and retention.
- RBAC, SSO, and approvals: role-based entitlements, single sign-on via your identity provider, and maker-checker approvals enforce supervision and segregation of duties across desks and operations.
- Surveillance-ready data: a single, queryable record feeds your trade-surveillance and reporting tools so reconstruction and exception review run on current, unified data.
- Post-quantum protection: keys, custody, and settlement messaging are secured with post-quantum cryptography as a default, not an add-on.
Capabilities roll out through the Agile Speed Framework, so new rails stand up in stages your compliance team can review and sign off on, rather than a multi-year cutover. Tokenization and on-chain depth are integrated with ecosystem partners Hanzo.ai and Lux Network.
