Direct Access to USFE Products Access to USFE's all-electronic platform is available through major brokers or direct connections. There are a variety of connectivity options for institutions and trading firms. Contact our Member Services department for more information about accessing our markets given your current broker and clearing providers. Exchange Membership Different from most U.S. exchange models, USFE membership does not confer ownership rights to the exchange nor does it confer voting rights. Rather, USFE offers membership to all market participants on a level playing field. Membership is possible for both firms and individuals. Once a company becomes a member, the exchange will not limit the number of traders that it registers on its behalf. All exchange members may apply for a market maker status for one or more products. Market Makers are obliged to quote binding bid and offer prices in the products, which they support. In return, they benefit from reduced transaction fees. Membership requirements and the application process are designed to be as easy as possible. Companies considering USFE membership should contact our sales staff. We will arrange for a meeting to discuss membership procedures in detail. Click here to contact a Member Services representative.
