RULEMATCH offers its participants flexible account structuring to meet their needs as financial institutions. The Participant occupies the top position of the hierarchical structure.

Underneath the Participant there may be multiple Organizations, the main one being the Participant Organization. Additional Organizations may belong to Direct Market Access or Sponsored Access clients, who are granted access to RULEMATCH through the Participant.

Each Organization has different Accounts which are described below. Finally, every user is assigned to one or multiple Accounts with specific roles. More information on user roles can be found in the User Roles section.

RULEMATCH offers the following account types to its participants:

House accounts are for the purpose of proprietary trading or if the Participant trades for its clients as a principal. For the house Account, the Participant is obliged to designate itself as beneficial owner of the assets.

Segregation accounts may be opened by the participant for specific clients and for segregation purposes. The segregation account is used for agency trading and the allocated assets must belong to that specific client.

Authorised users can be granted access to the RULEMATCH system at account level.
