Fully Integrated Financing

Legacy brokers rely on fragmented systems that trap collateral and slow decision-making. Clear Street integrates trading, clearing and financing on a single, real-time ledger – freeing capital and automating risk calculations across positions. The result is faster access to leverage, improved transparency and smarter use of client assets.
