Onboarding Friction for Corporate Accounts - Anyone Else Seeing This Trend?

asked by u/marek_n · 2h · 0 answers

Been looking at a few new brokers for our prop firm's FX side, specifically those offering decent $EURUSD and $GBPUSD liquidity. What's increasingly frustrating is the onboarding process for corporate accounts. It feels like KYB is getting more intense, which I understand to a point given regulations, but the request for documents often feels redundant or out of step with what's readily available for a regulated entity. We've had a few instances where simple UBO verification turned into a multi-week back-and-forth.

Is anyone else experiencing this prolonged friction when opening new corporate accounts, particularly with newer or smaller brokers? It's starting to factor into our decision-making, where the initial spreads might look appealing, but the operational drag of getting set up just isn't worth the hassle.
