Key features of Commodity Market Brokers Services

Payment Gateway

A payment gateway or interface is a platform that allows an individual to log on to the internet, visit a broker's trading portal, and perform desired transactions. The financial aspects of these transactions are routed through designated bank accounts of the transaction's originator and beneficiary. We offer two payment gateway models designed to meet the needs of brokers in our segment:

  • External Payment Interface (EPI):

EPI enables brokers to accept online payments from HDFC Bank account holders with NetBanking passwords for online purchases made by their clients or customers.

  • E-Broking/Server to Server Model:

This model is ideal for brokers interested in recovering partial funds from clients for trade execution and is also suitable for non-resident client transactions. It is designed to place funds on hold, block, release, or transfer them based on requests. The interface protocol relies on the exchange of XML messages between the bank and the external entity.

Customised solutions

ENet

HDFC Bank provides automated banking solutions for stock and commodity brokers through its corporate net-banking software, ENet™.

How ENet™ is beneficial to Stock/Commodity Brokers:

  • Fund Transfers:

Pay-in of Funds & ABC Confirmations: Transfer funds from client accounts to settlement accounts instantly from your office, ensuring timely meeting of exchange deadlines without the need to send instructions or cheques to the bank. Utilise ENet™ to transfer funds quickly to your Settlement Account for immediate confirmation of additional capital to the exchange, expediting the process and maximising exposure benefits.

  • Pay-out of Funds & Client Payments:

Upon receiving pay-outs from the exchange in your settlement account, use ENet™ to transfer funds to your client accounts for making payments. This allows for seamless payments to customers with accounts at any HDFC Bank branch, either individually or in bulk, without the need for cheque issuance.

SmartHub Government

Salary Upload

  • Salary payments to employees can be easily made by uploading a file through the CMS - disbursement module if your Salary Accounts are with HDFC Bank. This eliminates the need to provide a letter and a floppy disk to the branch, saving you considerable time.
  • Excise & Service Tax payments for all Commission rates can now be made online. While the payment process remains the same, this facility is now available for all Commission rates, as opposed to the previously selected ones.
