For Introducing Brokers & Partners

Build your book on a firm where you won't get lost.

Zaner has cleared and serviced independent brokers since 1980. As the industry consolidates into a handful of giants, we're the independent partner that still answers the phone — with hand-picked clearing, competitive economics, and direct access to the people who run the firm.

Why partner with Zaner

Your clients. Our clearing. One relationship.

You built the relationships. We give you the independent infrastructure to grow them — without getting lost inside a merged behemoth.

Direct Access

Talk to a principal, not a support queue. The people who run Zaner are the people you'll work with.

Flexible Economics

Competitive splits and payouts structured around your book — not a rigid corporate schedule.

Hand-Picked Clearing

Choose the clearing firm that fits your clients, backed by our multi-billion-dollar relationships.

Independent & Aligned

No parent company and no house account — we don't trade against your clients.

Back-Office & Reporting

Real-time visibility into your clients' accounts, positions and margin, with clean statements and support.

24/7 Desk

Around-the-clock order specialists standing behind you and your clients, day or night.

The independent lane just opened up

When the giants merge, brokers get a number.

The names that once stood for independent, full-service futures brokerage have been absorbed into a few large firms. For the brokers and IBs who relied on them, that means new layers, new systems, and a support line that no longer knows your name.

Zaner didn't consolidate. We're the same independent, owner-operated firm we've been since 1980 — and we have room for partners who want to be treated like partners.
