Prime Brokerage FAQ

Explore the answers in this section to understand how Finoa's Prime Brokerage can optimize your trading and operational workflows.
How do I get started?
To start trading, please fill out the form below, after which you will receive an invitation for the KYC (Know-Your-Customer) verification from DLT Finance.

Your Finoa account manager can support you with completing the KYC. Please note this is a legal requirement from our regulated partner and must be completed in addition to a previously fulfilled KYC verification with Finoa.

Once KYC is cleared, all you need to do is connect your DLT Finance Wallet. Then, you'll be ready to start trading.
Am I eligible for trading?
Trading is available only to Finoa Custody clients. 

Additionally, clients registered in a sanctioned country do not qualify for this product. Clients based in the United States are only eligible if they have an entity based in the European Union.
Which assets can I trade?
You can trade over 100 assets, including fiat currencies, bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), stablecoins like USDT and DAI, L1 core tokens, and ERC-20 tokens. Finoa-supported Proof-of-Stake tokens (FLOW, NEAR, MINA, etc.) are also pending integration.
What is the fee structure?
Finoa does not charge you any fees for trading using our platform. Additionally:
  • OTC trades with guaranteed spread have no additional fees. Spreads vary by asset pair.
  • On-chain fees vary depending on the selected trading pair. 
  • DLT Finance charges a variable fee for order routing, depending on your monthly trading volume.
What documents do I need?
Trading is currently available only to Finoa custody clients. To get started, you will need your Finoa account information, proof of identity, the signed trading agreement, and the KYC forms which will be supplied by your account manager.
How long does it take to transfer assets between Finoa and DLT Finance?
Transfer times for crypto assets depend on the asset type and its respective block confirmation time. This can take from a few seconds to a few hours. 

Fiat transfers via SWIFT or SEPA can take up to a few days.
Why should I use this when I can trade on any exchange?
This trading solution enables you to access deep liquidity across multiple exchanges for best-price execution. 

Through the integrated OTC trading option, you additionally benefit from guaranteed spreads for large transactions and trade without broadcasting to the network.
What is DLT Finance?
DLT Finance is a brand of DLT Securities GmbH (regulated as a securities trading firm by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin)) and DLT Custody GmbH (granted a preliminary Crypto Asset Custodian License (§ 64y Para. 1 KWG) by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin)).
How does DLT Finance prioritize security?
At DLT Finance, security is the utmost priority. Advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, cold storage, secure network infrastructure, recurring security audits, and compliance with regulatory standards are just a few of the numerous security measures that have been put in place. A committed security team continuously monitors and improves security measures to safeguard client assets.
Can I enable additional security measures beyond multi-factor authentication?
Yes, DLT Finance and Finoa encourage customers to strengthen the security of their accounts. To add an extra layer of security, you can enable features like withdrawal whitelisting, IP address restrictions, and email or SMS notifications for account activity.
How does DLT Finance ensure reliability and performance of its platform?
DLT Finance creates and manages their technology infrastructure in-house, giving them complete control over creation, upkeep, and security. They routinely go through rigorous penetration testing and stress testing to address potential weaknesses and strengthen security protocols. For clients, this guarantees a safe, dependable, and high-performing trading platform.
How are trades executed on DLT Finance's platform?
Through the use of RFQ (Request for Quote) technology, DLT Finance offers direct market access and intelligent order routing. This enables customers to access various liquidity sources and get the best prices for their trades, ensuring efficient execution.
Are there any restrictions on the size or frequency of trades?
The size and frequency of trades are not subject to any specific limitations by DLT Finance. The DLT platform is capable of handling a wide range of trade volumes, but certain regulatory requirements or liquidity restrictions imposed by the trading venues may apply.
You can’t understate the importance of institutional custody and staking support for the growth of early blockchain networks. Without our collaboration with Finoa, we would not have been able to provide those critical services on the FLOW network.
