Trust & Transparency
Trust & Transparency at ark-bridge
Trust in a trading platform should be built on clear information, transparent procedures and practical controls.

The ark-bridge Trust & Transparency Centre brings these resources together in one place, giving clients a clear way to understand the systems, procedures and information behind their trading experience.
ark-bridge has been operating since 2020, with a continued focus on trading technology, transparency, security and client support.
Client funds
How ark-bridge Handles Client-Related Funds
ark-bridge maintains internal operational controls designed to support the secure handling of client-related funds.
Funds received for client trading accounts are maintained through designated client-account arrangements designed to keep client funds operationally separate from ark-bridge’s own operating funds.
ark-bridge also performs regular internal reconciliations designed to compare client-account balances with corresponding funds maintained through its banking and payment arrangements.
Client-fund procedures are supported by identity verification, payment-method verification, financial-crime controls and ongoing monitoring of account activity.
Withdrawals
Clear and Secure Withdrawal Procedures
ark-bridge provides a structured withdrawal process designed to combine access to client funds with account-security and payment-verification procedures.
Withdrawal requests are subject to identity, account-ownership and payment-method verification before processing.
Where appropriate, additional checks may be required when a payment destination changes, unusual activity is identified or further account verification is needed.
ark-bridge currently states that withdrawal requests are reviewed within 48 business hours for compliance and AML checks. The time required for funds to arrive after processing may also depend on the receiving bank, blockchain network or payment provider.

Withdrawal protection
How ark-bridge Protects Withdrawal Requests
Withdrawal security is an important part of protecting a trading account. ark-bridge withdrawal requests may involve checks relating to identity, account ownership and payment-method ownership before funds are released.
Additional review may be required where there is:
A new or modified payment destination
Unusual account activity
A mismatch between an account holder and payment method
Incomplete identity verification
A source-of-funds review
A suspected account-security incident
A fraud, sanctions or financial-crime concern
These procedures are designed to reduce the risk of funds being released to an unauthorised third party.
Account security
Account Security and Two-Factor Authentication
ark-bridge uses multiple security procedures designed to help protect client accounts, personal information and sensitive transactions.
Depending on the activity, additional verification may be required for account access, security-detail changes, payment-information changes and withdrawal requests.
When enabled, two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an additional verification step beyond the client’s password.
ark-bridge also provides information designed to help clients recognise phishing attempts, suspicious communications and fraudulent websites.
ark-bridge representatives will never ask clients to disclose their password or two-factor authentication code.
Trading costs
Transparent Trading Costs
Understanding the cost of maintaining a trading position is an important part of informed risk management. ark-bridge publishes information about its applicable trading costs so clients can review relevant charges before trading.
Depending on the instrument, account and trading activity, ark-bridge costs may include:
Spreads
Overnight funding
Currency conversion or payment-provider costs where applicable
Inactivity charges where applicable
Other applicable trading or account charges disclosed by ark-bridge
Deposit and withdrawal information, including potential third-party charges, is also available through the ark-bridge funding pages.
Risk management
Practical Risk-Management Controls
Trading leveraged products requires clear awareness of downside risk.
ark-bridge provides trading functionality designed to help clients monitor and manage exposure while maintaining control over their own trading decisions.
Where supported by the existing platform, risk-management functionality may include tools such as stop-loss orders, take-profit orders, trailing stops, margin monitoring and other position-management features.
These tools can help clients define and monitor risk, but they cannot eliminate market risk or guarantee trading outcomes.
Risk controls are designed to support disciplined trading — not remove the risks associated with financial markets.
