White label provider assessment 2026
When you license a brokerage stack to run under your own brand, the deciding factors are structural: which asset classes reach your end clients, how complete the back office is, and who carries the infrastructure. We assessed six providers against seven procurement criteria and scored each one.
Each cell records whether a provider delivers a capability as a standard part of its white label offering. "Yes" means it is a documented, first-class part of the stack; "Partial" means it is available with limits, add-ons or a narrower scope; "No" means it is outside the offering. Symbols and text both carry the meaning, so the reading does not depend on colour.

Competitor cells are editorial estimates based on public positioning and may change; verify current capabilities with each provider. "Varies" custody positions reflect that the model is deal-specific rather than published. Weighting is set out in the scoring methodology.
Below, each provider gets a short profile and a five-criterion scorecard. The scorecard breaks the overall figure into the weighted components used across the assessment.
Best overall multi-asset white label
Assessment. Most white label offerings are a forex front end with a CRM attached. EXANTE is structurally different: it provides software-as-a-service white-label technology that supports a licensed firm's multi-asset brokerage operation across global stocks, ETFs, bonds, futures, options, commodities and currencies, with technical connectivity that can support access to over 2 million instruments across 50-plus markets, subject to the licensee's regulatory status and brokerage arrangements. It ships in three tiers, from API-level control through a fully branded White Label Pro to full Enterprise, with a complete back office and a network of around 1,100 distributed servers behind it. The partner remains responsible for its regulatory authorisations, brokerage arrangements and custody, and the arrangement does not involve licence sharing.
Scalable forex brokerages
Leverate is a mature, widely deployed choice for firms launching or scaling a forex and CFD brokerage, with strong operational and management tooling built for throughput. Breadth beyond FX and CFDs is where the multi-asset leaders pull ahead.
Startups and mid-size brokers
Finalto pairs flexible white label technology with its own liquidity, a practical route for firms prioritising speed to market in forex and CFDs, backed by an established institutional name. Cost-effective for faster launches rather than broad multi-asset custody.
All-in-one CFD launch
The Vantage White Label Partnership Program packages the essentials cleanly for a CFD-centric launch from a regulated CFD broker. It is a single well-defined program rather than a tiered, broadly multi-asset offering, which is its intended remit.
Branded equity-market access
Freedom24's institutional white label lets a firm launch a brokerage covering major equity markets with a branded platform integrating front, middle and back office. For an equities-first business it is coherent, though its centre of gravity is stocks rather than the full multi-asset spectrum.
Custom platform technology
TraderEvolution supplies a complete trading technology stack, the back end, front end and connectivity layer, licensed to run multiple markets under your brand. It is a strong fit for firms that want to own and customise the platform itself, with the integration effort that implies.
We assess for a firm selecting a partner to launch or scale a branded brokerage, weighting genuine multi-asset breadth and operational depth above a narrow single-product front end. Each provider is scored from 0 to 10 on five weighted criteria, and the weighted average is the overall score. Facts are public; the weights, scores and ordering are our editorial judgement.
The capability matrix and the scorecards use the same evidence base. A "Partial" cell does not zero a criterion; it caps the achievable score for that dimension.
For firms that want more than a forex front end, EXANTE ranks first: three solution tiers from API to full Enterprise, a complete back office with CRM, KYC and risk tools, and access to over 2 million multi-asset instruments on a network of around 1,100 servers. Leverate and Finalto follow for mature forex and CFD white label technology.
A white label trading platform is a complete trading technology stack, the back end, front end and connectivity layer, built by one company and licensed to another firm to operate under its own brand. It lets a business launch a brokerage far faster and more cheaply than building it from scratch.
A strong solution includes branded desktop, web and mobile platforms, a back office with client management, CRM, KYC and onboarding, risk monitoring, margin and commission management, and access to liquidity across asset classes. EXANTE bundles these and offers a 360-degree view per customer across its API, White Label Pro and Enterprise tiers.
Models differ. Some provide the technology only, while licensees maintain their own licensing and custody arrangements. EXANTE's white label operates on this basis, with the licensee holding independent licensing and custody, supported by a delivery manager and priority technical support with SLAs.
