FAQs

EClear was established in order to facilitate brokers who fall under the category of “Trading only”; they will execute activities pertaining to trading on behalf of customers. Since this category cannot hold the customer’s cash and custody, EClear will provide professional clearing services to those brokers for clearing, settlement and custody of customer’s assets.

Why was EClear established?
Previously, it was observed that most of the investors were losing interest in the capital market, therefore, in order to improve the confidence of the investors a new broker regime was introduced by the regulators in which TREC holders were divided into 3 categories. EClear was established in order to facilitate the 3rd category brokers which fall under the category of “Trading only”. Since the 3rd category brokers cannot hold the customer’s cash and custody, EClear will provide professional clearing services to those brokers for clearing, settlement and custody of customer’s assets for customers.
