Becoming a member at IMAREX
The IMAREX Group handles both exchange traded contracts (freight, power and seafood) and OTC contracts (freight, fuel oil, carbon emissions and power).
To exchange trade directly on the IMAREX screen, you either need to be a direct member, or sign up via a member clearing bank. To trade OTC products you simply need a client relationship with any of our teams of IMAREX brokers.
Becoming a DIRECT member:
As a direct member of Imarex, you have certain key advantages:
- You pay ONE simple and low fee which covers trading and clearing.
- You have ONE simple account setup and margin regime with direct margining - no expensive add ons.
- You have direct access to the Imarex screen and your own Imarex Exchange broker
- You gain the status of Exchange member
Direct membership is FREE, for qualifying organisations.
Becoming a direct member is a quick process (around 3-4 weeks processing time) once you have made a commercial decision to do so.
